PRINCETON, N.J. — Public TV host Rick Steves came to Princeton Wednesday as part of a regional tour to advocate for legalizing and regulating marijuana.
He’s a board member of the marijuana law reform group NORML and a long-time supporter of overhauling drug laws.
Steves says that adults in New Jersey deserve the “civil liberty” of enjoying the use of marijuana.
His trip to New Jersey comes as Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy pushes for decriminalization and legalization in the state.
Eight states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana.
Steves operates Rick Steves’ Europe, based in Washington state, producing guidebooks on European travel. He also hosts a public television series.
He’ll be visiting Delaware, Maryland and Vermont as part of the effort.
