New York Republican Assemblyman Steve Katz is vehemently against marijuana, even medical marijuana.  He  apparently drew this position while stoned.

Last week, Katz was ticketed for doing 80mph in a 65mph zone.  He also possessed marijuana in his car.

Katz, who is on the state’s mental health committee,was ready with an answer:

“This should not overshadow the work I have done over the years for the public and my constituency. I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest.”

Questioned by a reporter about whether voters might draw conclusions from the traffic stop, Katz said, “That’s exactly what I want them to do.”

He then added that he has voters right where he wants them – fetching him a large bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos at the gas station grocery section.

Thanks to PolishSpring and Brian for the heads up.
