Republican presidential candidate hopeful and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is opposed to legalizing marijuana for recreational use. But members of the New Jersey senate held a hearing on Monday about passing a bill that would legalize the drug for both medicinal and recreational use within the state.
As reported by Philly.com, the Democratic-controlled New Jersey Legislature is taking steps towards introducing a law that would allow those over the age of 21 to purchase marijuana, whether or not they have a medical marijuana license. Like the laws passed in other states, the consumption of marijuana in public would still be illegal. The bill was written by Senator Nicholas Scutari, who said on Monday that legalizing, regulating and taxing the would-be billion-dollar marijuana industry would bring the drug out of the black market.

It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
