New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed Colorado for legalizing marijuana, claiming the state's new "quality of life" is not worth the revenue.
According to CNN, the governor made the comments when asked about Colorado's new law on New Jersey 101.5 on Monday.
"See if you want to live in a major city in Colorado where there's head shops popping up on every corner and people flying into your airport just to come and get high," Christie said. "To me, it's just not the quality of life we want to have here in the state of New Jersey and there's no tax revenue that's worth that."
Christie also said he opposes marijuana decriminalization and told a caller he won't be signing any pro-pot laws.
"You say it's going to come down the road," Christie said. "You know it may come down the road when I'm gone. It's not going to come while I'm here."
While he has vocally opposed most marijuana reforms, Christie has also expressed his willingness to explore legalizing medical marijuana in edible form for patients above the age of 18, CNN said.
"For the people who are enamored with the idea with the income, the tax revenue from this, go to Colorado and see if you want to live there," Christie said to listeners.
Aside from discussing marijuana laws, the governor is still battling the "Bridgegate" scandal.
Additionally, a report in the Associated Press claims he owes more money in legal fees than his campaign has on hand, meaning he will continue fundraising to pay off his debts.
