I voted for Mayor Bloomberg 2 elections ago because I thought he was a free thinking politician. And of course I was wrong, he is honest, but not much of a free thinker... Honest because he freely admits he has tried and enjoyed marijuana... Not much of a free thinker because he uses the same old tired arguments against legalization like, it will lead to harder drugs (So does sugar), the stuff nowadays is more powerful than it used to be (More powerful than a stomach full of beer?), blah blah blah.
In an article in the Daily News, Bloomberg said he was against legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes but he is ok having the debate about legalizing marijuana outright. His reasoning was that everyone knows what happens with medical marijuana, everyone qualifies...
I don't trust Mayor Bloomberg when he says he would welcome the debate to legalize. I do believe he would debate the issue, and has, but I do not believe he would approach the issue with any kind of intellectual honesty. Meaning, no matter what comes out of the debate, Bloomberg has no plans to allow the people of New York City to get their medical or recreational marijuana from anywhere but the Black Market.
