New Jersey: The 14th state?!

[xbizzarox]

New Jersey's legislature is considering a proposal to legalize marijuana for medical use in New Jersey.

The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens committee will take up the issue Monday.

The bill's primary sponsor is Union County Democrat Sen. Nicholas Scutari. He tells The Star-Ledger of Newark that he thinks the legislation is groundbreaking.

The proposal would make New Jersey the 14th state to sanction marijuana for medical uses.

It would require state health officials to approve case-by-case requests from doctors who recommend marijuana for patients with debilitating medical conditions. Approved patients would then be given a state ID card verifying their enrollment in the program.

The proposal could face a lengthy approval fight.

I'm really glad more and more states are thinking of legalization. I really feel that sometime during my life I can enjoy FULLY legal cannabis. No more being scared of FDA raids for clinics, dirty cops taking your medicine, and all the other bs that goes around. GL to your state man, it will be a long process, but very worth it in the long run :thumbsup:.
