- When asked his opinion in January 2015 on Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo's pilot program for medical marijuana, George Pataki said, "I don't think it's a step in the right direction. I am not in favor of legalizing marijuana, but having said that, I'm a great believer that the states are the laboratory of democracy. Colorado just legalized it. Let's see what happens."[2]
- In a February 2014 interview on CNBC, Pataki opposed online gambling, warning that it could allow organized crime and terrorist organizations to launder money. Pataki also stated he believes it will "negatively impact families" and individuals shouldn't be able to bet their rent money in an industry that lacks the stringent regulations found in physical casinos.[3]
