Residents in Atlantic City are reacting to a post on a councilman’s Facebook page suggesting that he had been ingesting marijuana edibles.

“Everyday I try to get as much done as I can before these edibles hit me…Because once they do, it’s pretty much a done done.. Ima delete this in a minute..smh,” the Thursday post on the account of Atlantic City At-Large Councilman Jeffree Fauntleroy II, a Democrat, read.

The post was later deleted, and another one appeared close to a half-hour later.

You REALLY can’t make this up!😂 Our elected officials in Atlantic City working hard 😂 Eating THC “Edibles” #enough; #staywoke; #jeffreeshighagain; #frankfreeac Posted by Frank Free AC on Thursday, August 8, 2019

“I could care less..Everybody chill,” it read, apparently referencing comments he’d gotten in reaction to the post.

That second post was deleted, as well. Fauntleroy declined to comment about the situation.

Online reactions to the post were mixed, with some people disapproving and others saying there is nothing wrong with it.

“A fine example for the youth on our community,” one person replied about the post. “No wonder why...taxes are high! Some of our elected officials are.”

Another commentor who supports the legalization of marijuana and marijuana-based products, did not see a problem with what the councilman posted. “(I don’t care) about weed, it should be legal anyway (like it is in multiple states),” he replied in response to the posting.

Marijuana edibles are food products that are infused with cannabis. Medical marijuana is allowed in the state however, recreational use is not allowed.

No mention was made in the posts on Fauntleroy’s page as to whether the edibles referenced were medical.

On a state level, discussions about the legalization of marijuana may be coming back once again. Both Governor Phil Murphy and Senate President Steve Sweeney have said they would like to take another shot at passing legislation to legalize marijuana use outside of medicinal uses.
