Anti-marijuana New York assemblyman busted for weed possession

Normally I would post this in my Reefhead thread, but this is a demonstration of the typical hypocrisy of the Retardlicans, so it is best I post it here:

A Republican lawmaker in New York who has a record of voting against medical marijuana legalization has been arrested and charged with possession of marijuana.



State police said that a suspicious odor was noticed in Assemblyman Steve Katz’s vehicle when they pulled him over for driving around 80 mph in a 75 mph zone at around 10 a.m. Thursday morning.

“After noting the odor of marijuana, a New York State Trooper found Katz in possession of a small bag of marijuana,” a statement from state police said, according to the Times Union.

Katz was given an appearance ticket for having less than 25 grams and is scheduled to appear in Coeymans Town Court on March 8. He also faces charges for speeding.

Last year, the assemblyman voted against a bill that would have legalized medical marijuana in New York.

Katz’ office said that he was expected to release a statement later on Friday.

If New York keeps going it's going to be worse than Utah. They will have so many rules and regulations you won't be able to do anything.

[Zing!]

He should have Tommy Chong represent him in court.

NY elected Cuomo as a moderate - what we got was either a quasi fascist - or a lib running for president and pushing a national agenda on us at our expense

DEC personnel cannot talk to media now - questions by journalists must be submitted in writing & the PR dept will get back to them, never mind sporting licenses pay 58% of the DEC budget

cuomo passed the Safe Act w/o a 3 day waiting period in an emergency session - Lanza's CT rampage created a emergency session in NYS - doh!

He also created a $85 court charge for all tickets written by state police and no longer able to plea down speeding tickets

but he wants more employers to hire ex-cons & felons - businesses will get a $2400 tax break for hiring ex-cons,

and they want to give illegal aliens id cards and EIC tax credits for ea. child - tax refunds to illegals who have never paid taxes @$3500 per child

yeah NY

Cuomo Jr. ain't no "lib". He's NY's answer to Evan Bayh..... another dumb little shit running on his daddy's name, but not remotely the same in political ideology.

And the funniest thing about that Katz guy..... is that he was baked and driving FAST.

Stoners are supposed to be driving slow, and think they're driving too fast, because of the paranoia thing.

Um, he is a "moderate" and has managed to piss off both wings of NY politics including numerous unions. And there's no way they're getting $3500 per child...

Not only was bozo driving fast, they pulled him over at 10 AM.

He is a serious stoner to be getting baked that early in the morning!
