N.J. Lawmakers To Vote On Medical Marijuana

CBS -- New Jersey could soon become the 14th state to legalize access to medical marijuana if legislators pass a bill up for vote Monday.The use of marijuana for any purpose in New Jersey is illegal, but that could all change for qualified patients. State lawmakers are expected to vote on a compromise measure that would allow residents with serious disease and medical conditions to use marijuana.
If passed, State Senator Jeff Andrews said New Jersey's medical marijuana law would be the strictest in the nation. The law would restrict patients to two ounces a month and would not allow patients to grow their own plants.A New Jersey resident with multiple sclerosis told CBS 3's Robin Rieger that she currently uses marijuana illegally in order to cope."It relieves my symptoms, my spasms," she said.The measure is expected to pass by the State Senate and full Assembly. If passed, Governor Jon Corzine is expected to sign it into law before leaving office.Source: CBS News (US Web)Published: January 11, 2010Copyright: 2010 CBS Broadcasting Inc.Website: http://www.cbsnews.com/URL: http://drugsense.org/url/KepXs3gcCannabisNews Medical Marijuana Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/medical.shtml

New Jersey
Are they planning for state government to grow the medical marijuana for patients?I can't imagine they are planning on distribution via the black market, but they are not allowing patients to grow their own. Hmmmmm?Acquisition solutions outside the black market, such as patient cultivation are a pretty obvious requirement of any medical marijuana plan.

I am happy that Governor Corzine will sign the Bill. I don't think Republicans generally think about the people.
