Ten months after the medical marijuana law was passed, with a poll now showing 82 percent of New Jerseyans favor it, you’d think suffering patients would be getting relief. But passing the bill was the easy part. Now the Legislature has to force Gov. Chris Christie to implement it.READ FULL ARTICLE: Legislature is right to kill Christie's pot rules
Coalition members hold diverse opinions, but we all agree:
New Jersey healthcare professionals dispense potentially lethal drugs every day. We trust them to do so very carefully, and solely to benefit their patients. Common sense and compassion demand that doctors should control non-lethal marijuana medicine for those who truly need it. To make this important change a reality, your voice is needed.
The New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act was introduced in the State Senate in January 2005 by Senator Nicholas Scutari (D-Linden). A companion bill is pending in the Assembly, sponsored by Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Princeton) and Assemblyman Michael Carroll (R-Morris Township).
Please contact your representatives in the Assembly and Senate, and tell them what you think. It's the most important thing you can do to help the bill become law. http://www.cmmnj.org/
The Coalition for Medical Marijuana – New Jersey (CMM–NJ) was founded in May of 2003 to support the legalization of marijuana for use by patients under a doctor's supervision.
