On the only sunny day of Memorial Day Weekend, beachgoers got a glimpse of the fight over legal weed in New Jersey: "Gov. (Phil) Murphy: Put kids before profits! Don't legalize pot!"
That message was carried by a banner plane across the Jersey Shore, spotted in Asbury Park, Manasquan and Island Beach State Park, where the governor's official residence is located.
The stunt was organized by New Jersey Responsible Approaches to Marijuana Policy, the state's offshoot of anti-weed advocacy group Smart Approaches to Marijuana as a way to remind Murphy — who has vowed to legalize weed this year — that "legalizing recreational marijuana is a dangerous public health policy," Smart Approaches to Marijuana founder Kevin Sabet said.
