CMMNJ’s 20th Anniversary with New Board Members
WHO: The Coalition for Medical Marijuana--New Jersey, Inc. (CMMNJ)
WHAT: Celebrates its 20th
Anniversary with New Board Members
WHEN: March 10, 2023
WHY:
There is still much work to do.
The Coalition for Medical Marijuana--New Jersey, Inc. (CMMNJ) celebrates the 20th
anniversary of its first public appearance by welcoming three new members to
its 11 member Board of Directors: Nichelle Santos and Jeff Booker, co-founders
of CannaCoverage https://www.cannacoverage.net/, and Valisha Desir, Esq. https://www.linkedin.com/in/valisha-desir-esq-a62b6743/, a cannabis industry lawyer.
CMMNJ’s first public appearance was at the White Dog Café in Philadelphia on March 10, 2003. It was one of the final outreach efforts of Cheryl Miller, the wife of CMMNJ co-founder Jim Miller. Cheryl found that marijuana was the only drug that relieved her muscle spasms, and she was a tireless advocate for the right of patients to use marijuana therapeutically. Cheryl died of complications of multiple sclerosis (MS) on June 7, 2003.
CMMNJ was instrumental in getting the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act introduced into the legislature in 2005 and signed into law in 2010.
In 2014, CMMNJ endorsed, and began a successful campaign for the legalization of marijuana, calling it the best way to get this essential medicine to the most people.
The CMMNJ Board’s post-legalization goals for medical cannabis include:
- insurance coverage;
- home cultivation rights; and,
- hospital & institutional access.
