Letter: Prosecutor Should Overlook Summer Shore Recreational Drug Use To Combat Heroin Distribution
The expressed opinions or views of this letter does not necessarily represent the opinion of the MiddletownMike blog:
Dear Editor,
As we approach another summer season on the Jersey Shore, many residents and visitors are going to be bringing commonly enjoyed substances such as cannabis, cocaine and MDMA with them to enhance those great summer nights.
But our current drug laws and police state mentality make tourism difficult and punish both consumers and local residents who supply these social tonics to other residents and tourists, supporting the local economy.
New Jerseyans should have a right to smoke a joint, pop a molly or do a line when they go down the shore. None of these activities are any worse than alcohol consumption, and our draconian drug laws disproportionately impact the future career opportunities of youth.
To encourage tourism in Seaside Heights, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato should suspend enforcement of laws against cannabis and club drug possession county-wide, while reallocating all drug enforcement resources to combat heroin distribution.

Is this a joke???
Marijuana use is a gateway drug and advocating breaking the law is inexcusable!
Take your silly ideas to California, I am sure they would love to get high and talk about their pipe dreams with you!
BTW- Marijuana is still illegal in this country even though Obummer refuses to enforce that law, which is a violation of his oath of office.
wrong again Eric! New Jersyans should not be free to use addictive substances and become slaves to drugs. We should be free to use our 2nd amendment rights which are being denied us here in NJ.
