As if
one celebrity playing politics isn't enough, Cynthia Nixon has decided to run
for governor of New York.
Since
she wasn't getting much traction with politically savvy New Yorkers, last week
she announced that she was in favor of the legalization of marijuana.
Governor
Cuomo who has been dragging his feet on the matter immediately responded by
saying that perhaps the ship had sailed since neighboring states are legalizing
rapidly. It reminded me of growing up in
PA, a half hour from the New Jersey border when Pennsylvania was a 21 year old
state and Jersey was 18. We would drive
across the state line, go to the nearest bar, and drunk drive home.
Clearly
it's time to address marijuana on a national level to create some consistency. And, for me, the fact that it is preventing heroin deaths
is a good enough reason for legalization.
