Taxing medical marijuana is immoral, GOP lawmaker says.
It is immoral to tax medicine. Period. Full stop.
That should be the message Gov. Phil Murphy tells Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin when they meet to discuss amendments to medical marijuana legislation. The people who rely on the drug should not be considered a source of revenue as they are now; they should be considered patients that are struggling to afford their medicine just like everybody else.
