Monthly Public Meeting Minutes
June 9, 2020
Lawrence Library meeting rooms are CLOSED. CMMNJ meetings are Zoom Conferences.
June 2020 was the third fully virtual public meeting of CMMNJ. We advised Zoom meeting participants that there is no way to tell if their comments are being recorded. As usual, in the beginning of the meeting, participants introduced themselves and said a few words about why they were at the meeting. We extended our best wishes for everyone’s safety and health during this time of pandemic, social distancing and economic collapse.
“NJ CAN 2020” joins the effort to approve the ballot question on Nov. 3, 2020 to legalize marijuana (ACLU of NJ, the NAACP NJ, Doctors for Cannabis Regulation, NJ United for Marijuana Reform, the Latino Action Network, the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp, Law Enforcement Action Partnership, & the NJ CannaBusiness Association.) “Marijuana Prohibition Racism.” GOTV at Princeton U and Ken’s first public call for marijuana reform—an LTE from August 10, 1972. Use the momentum of a successful ballot victory in November to press forward our demands for social justice and home grow.

NJ MMP Update: ATCs are “essential services” that offer curbside pickup to patients. Jeff Brown: “More can be done.” DOH issued permits to Zen Leaf Elizabeth and Columbia Care in Vineland to begin dispensing marijuana. The state total is now 11 dispensaries (9 ATCs & 2 satellites) with 12 growing facilities to serve over 77,000 patients. Courts continue to halt the progress of 196 applications for 24 additional NJ medical marijuana licenses. While the DOH reports about 8K lbs of medical marijuana available, not all strains and premium buds are available.

Home cultivation for patients--sign the petition: Let Patients Grow NJ.com.
Also, visit the website: Let Patients Grow NJ #JeffsLaw. Per CA NORML: “Home cultivation hasn’t been protected by any CA legislator. It was in Prop. 215 and, in a limited way, in Prop. 64. In effect, many people still don’t have cultivation rights in CA because of local government restrictions, which courts have largely upheld.” #THEYSHALLGROW Jim Miller asked for spreadsheet help.
