Vote against Medical Marijuana then get busted for possession. Ah, hypocrisy.

Anti-Weed N.Y. Assemblyman Steve Katz Charged With Possession

Westchester County Republican Assemblyman Steve Katz was pulled over yesterday morning for speeding and hit with a possession charge when an officer recognized the distinct smell of marijuana. "He was alone and cooperative," said the police, who ticketed him for a small baggie and going 80 in a 65 mph zone. Katz was oddly arrested twice for allegedly mishandling dogs when he worked as a veterinarian, but both cases were dismissed. Last year, he voted against legalizing medical marijuana, although maybe this will be his Portman moment. The assemblyman sits on Assembly committees for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, as well as Higher Education.

What was thicker when he rolled down the window, the smoke or the irony?

How bad do you have to be with handling dogs to get arrested for it - TWICE?

Should've seen this coming -- It's a little known fact that dog mishandling is the gateway to weed-smoking.

New pot must worked differently than old pot, which made you drive about 10 mph.
