Delaware’s Democratic Governor Reaffirms Opposition To Legalizing Marijuana, Which He Says Can Be A ‘Gateway’ Drug
The Democratic governor of Delaware says he remains opposed to legalizing marijuana for adult use, in part because he believes that cannabis can be a gateway to other drugs in certain cases.
During an interview with WHYY and Delaware Public Media on Monday, Gov. John Carney (D) was pressed on the fact that neighboring states are pursuing cannabis reform and was asked whether his longstanding opposition to legalization had waned in light of that regional shift.
“Look, I just don’t think it’s a good idea,” he said, adding that when he served as lieutenant governor, he spent years “trying to convince Delawareans to live a healthier lifestyle,” and he feels marijuana use does not fit into that effort.
“We spend all this time and money to get people to stop smoking cigarettes and now we want to say it’s okay to just smoke marijuana recreationally,” Carney said. “Look, I don’t want to sound like a prude about it, I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“If you talk to the parents of some of these folks that have overdosed and passed away, they don’t think it’s a good idea because they remember the trajectory of their own sons and daughters,” the governor said. “And I’m not suggesting that that’s always a gateway for all that, but if you talk to those Attack Addiction advocates they don’t think it’s a very good idea.”
Too late, John-boy. You sound like a prude. An ignorant one, at that. This is what happens when you send your kids to Catholic schools, folks — indoctrination by a criminal cabal of kiddie diddlers.
He’s not that smart, or, more precisely, he’s just not interested in stuff. Didn’t think it was possible to be bored all the time. But he’s both bored and boring.
Oh, and he’s not a Democrat. Time for a Real Democrat in 2024.
if you talk to those Attack Addiction advocates they don’t think (legalization) a very good idea.”
I doubt that is even true.
He is just not putting much brain power into this.

“the wave of COVID-19 that swept through TruNews was a demonic attack on the network for having Milo Yiannopoulos on the program after ‘Satan’s favorite sodomite’ became ‘ex-gay’ and a Christian.”
Maybe she should join Scott Walker in South Carolina. Her message could well resonate down there…as could Walker’s.
