One of the most conservative members of the New Jersey Assembly has introduced legislation to legalize marijuana in the Garden State.
Marijuana doesn't appear to be overly dangerous, said Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll, R-Morris. He said using it should not be treated as a criminal offense.
"I am probably the single most boring individual ever born. I have never smoked a joint, never popped a pill, never did a line. I don't even drink except occasionally maybe a hard cider or a beer," he said. "I don't quite get what people see in being high, but if that's what they want, far be it from me to stand between them and their marijuana any more than I'd stand between them and their Johnnie Walker."
