Brick Councilwoman Rips Activists Over Marijuana Song
As Grimes sang, "Keep your cancer home, dear," Pontoriero sat up and looked at him. After the song, she spoke up, and called the song offensive, saying it implied the township has banned the use of medical marijuana.
"It's offensive to me as a Stage 4 cancer victim," said Pontoriero, who has been battling a rare oral cancer for two years. "I don't want anyone watching who may be a cancer victim to think they cannot partake in medical marijuana." You can watch the exchange below; it begins 1 hour, 49 minutes into the meeting.
