A bill to allow the use of medical marijuana in New York is a “terrible idea” because it’s really a backdoor route to legalizing pot, Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday.
“We all know what [medical marijuana] means,” the mayor said on his weekly WOR radio show.
“It means everybody’s going to qualify, OK? The worst thing is the hypocrisy of saying it’s medical marijuana. If you want to legalize it, then let’s have that debate. But that’s not what you’re talking about,” he added.
“It has nothing to do with medicine.”
