Nj medical marijuana

[RedLocks]

The law passed but one has to be dying or near death to be eligible.

basically, only terminal patients a type of sclerosis or two, some odd wording, then that seems to be it. Strictest bill in comparison to mmj laws of states that have passed already..

Just a lil info for those of you out there eagerly awaiting the date when you will no longer be persecuted for possessing your meds.

Qualifying medical conditions include cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, Crohnâ??s disease, etc. The physician must have an on-going responsibility for the patientâ??s condition. Patients will be issued ID cards in a program run by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS). Patients may designate a caregiver to assist them with obtaining and using the marijuana. The caregiver must also register with DHSS.

The marijuana will be obtained from Alternative Treatment Centers which will be set up in the north, central and southern parts of the state, with two Centers in each region to start. The Centers will be tightly regulated by the DHSS and the Department of Law and Public Safety, which will monitor the amount of marijuana dispensed at these Centers, much as it now monitors the way Scheduled narcotics are dispensed. New Jersey will be unique among the 14 medical marijuana states in that only the Garden State will prohibit home cultivation of medical marijuana.

Specific information about how to apply to the Department of Health to become an Alternative Treatment Centers will probably not be available until June or September of 2010.



stay tuned..

An unfortunate thread bumping..... Was afraid some shit like this was in the future of our new mmj law...

NJ: Governor's big medical marijuana concept is unworkable

[RedLocks]

uhh, kind of good news i guess?

NJ inches closer to growing its own medical marijuana

Now with the support of one more person for this proposed plan of Growing at RSU your children will possibly, maybe, if they're lucky, have access to Legal Medical Marijuana in NJ during their lifetime. What a anticlimactic victory for New Jersey's seriously ill!

I guess the words of Horace Greeley are in order here. "Go west young man, go west." :smokin:

This new "Act" isn't going to do shit for anyone, We'll still be judged unfairly at trials and in the public eye. The people who support this act are also the ones who have an enormous reputation to uphold and because of that,its going to be too hard to access marijuana legally,not to mention 90% of the public who support this act think the law will apply to them, which is wrong. The law will state that the only people allowed access to marijuana are those with psychically terminal diseases that only have about 30 days to live.If you have 30 days left to live, there should be no such thing as an illegal drug to you.The point is simple, Medicinal Marijuana isn't going to work here. People from california may have an easy time getting weed, but they still suffer at the hands of lawmakers when they are busted on a federal level, almost 80,000 arrests in california for weed last year. only 30,000 in NJ and weed is almost legal there. What does that tell you?

Until it's legal nationwide without any of this medical blah blah blah, we as americans will still be denied our right to freedom and religion. Even those who need it medicinally won't be safe to use it when the law is regulated.

I predict that once this law is in effect, more people will be jailed for using it medicinally then in any other state.

Plus, obtaining a prescription for it will be harder then obtaining a prescription deadly pain-killers.


I've tried to become part of any marijuana organization that supports legalization, but every time you try to join any of these so called "organizations" they ask for donations and donations only.What if i don't want to donate money,but rather, wish to donate my time and effort to the cause?No dice. they want your money and vote only.Assholes.


I,for one, struggle with extremely painful lower back issues; smoking marijuana practically eliminates the pain,and yet, im not going to die in thirty days so i will be denied the benefit of an easier life without persecution, and i still won't be able to find a job that will hire me.Smoking marijuana doesn't affect my work or work ethic in anyway, and yet, i wont be hired because i smoke marijuana and they WILL drug test me for it.I thought equal opportunity stood for equal opportunity, but i guess i'm wrong.
