NJ state lawmaker warns of 'sex toys and oils with marijuana' if recreational cannabis is legalized

A New Jersey state senator is warning against products with marijuana, such as "sex toys and oils," that could be sold if the state decides to legalize recreational use of the substance.

State Sen. Ronald Rice (D) told NJTV this week that he believes marijuana is a gateway drug and claimed that when recreational marijuana is legalized, “the number of people who’ve never used any type of drugs goes up substantially in terms of drug use.”

“If in fact we legalize recreational marijuana, right across the street from my office they’re going to put up stores,” Rice told the outlet. “They want to call them dispensaries, but they’re going to be stores that do retail selling cupcakes with marijuana, candies with marijuana, sex toys and oils with marijuana, lipsticks with marijuana, all those kinds of products that kids can get and people can get.”

Rice has long opposed marijuana legalization and is the leader of New Jersey’s Legislative Black Caucus, which has similarly held up efforts to legalize the drug, according to NJTV.

I’m thinking it would be like regular lipstick, but with hash oil instead of jojobaoil.

sexpot.

There already are oils with marijuana. And cupcakes, candy, etc. Dispensaries check IDs at the door - nobody under 21 gets in.

This guy really needs to get a grip and find out what he's talking about before spouting off. It's downright embarrassing.

Current thinking is there is no such thing as a gateway drug.

Simply put, if there were actual gateway drugs everyone who took them would become addicted. This does not happen.

And it's fucking wonderful.

But for the record you have to be 21 to get it. So get it!
