A New Jersey man approached Governor Chris Christie on Wednesday and urged him to vote in favor of the use of medical marijuana, citing his two-year-old daughter's epilepsy treatment, POLITICO reported.

"Please don't let my daughter die, Governor. Don't let my daughter die," pleaded Brian Wilson to Christie, who has a two-year-old daughter with Dravet Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy.

According to Wilson, a certain strain of marijuana eases his daughter's symptoms.

"I was wondering what the holdup is. It's been like two months now," Wilson said.

Christie responded with, "These are complicated issues."

Wilson reportedly said they were "simple" issues.

"No, I know you think it's simple ... I know you think it's simple and it's not," Christie said.

He also told Wilson that he will make a final decision about signing the marijuana bill, which was passed in the legislature in June, by Friday.

"I wish for the best for you, your daughter and your family and I'm going to do what I think is best for the people of the state," Christie said at the end of their encounter.

The bill requires three different doctors to sign off on a prescription for children and decides what can be administered to each patient. In addition, treatment centers would be allowed to produce an unlimited number of varieties and for edible forms of marijuana to be made, which is currently banned.

In July on his monthly "Ask the Governor" radio show, Christie explained his reasoning.

"I'm concerned about expanding the program," he said. "And I want to make sure that if we do it, we do it in a way that is helpful to children, does not reduce any of the requirements of the program; to make sure this does not go down a slippery slope of broadening the program and making it easier (for unqualified people) to get marijuana."
