Monthly Public Meeting Agenda
Lawrence Twp. Library (Mercer County) Room #3
Tuesday, August 10, 2010; 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
7:00 PM: Call meeting to order. Approve June 2010 minutes. Discuss:
On 7/23/10, Rutgers University declined the request from the Christie administration to be the sole producer of NJ’s medical marijuana. Doing so might jeopardize millions in federal funding, the dean of the biological school said. See CMMNJ’s press releases and media comments.
In June, Christie signed a 90-day delay in implementing the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act. This law does not need any more delays or trial balloons. The DHSS will tightly regulate the ATCs. Highly qualified private citizens are ready to take on the risks in order to serve patients. The medical marijuana law should be implemented as it is written without further delay. Strategy session. Funding for media blitz? Faces of ATC operators?
Pardon update on MS patient John Wilson who’s appealing a 5-yr. medical marijuana sentence.
