Medical Marijuana Bill Advances in NJ

Source: philly.com

 

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey moved closer to allowing chronically ill patients to smoke marijuana to relieve symptoms of pain and nausea.

 

The Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee approved the medical marijuana bill by an 8-1 vote with two abstentions Thursday.

 

New Jersey would become the 14th state with such a law if it passes the Legislature and Gov. Jon Corzine signs it. Corzine has said he would.

 

The measure allows chronically ill patients to petition the state to allow them to use marijuana medicinally. Physician certification of their condition would be required.

 

Patients would be issued an identification card allowing them to grow six plants or access the drug at an alternative medicine center.

 

Critics say medicinal marijuana amounts to tacit approval of an illegal drug.

The bill passed in the committee and now goes to the full Assembly for a vote. If it passes, which is expected, it goes back to the Senate for a vote because of new amendments. The Senate should pass it because they already did in February and these new amendments make it "tighter" legislation, meaning more restrictive. After both houses pass the bill it goes to the Governor. The current Governor has stated that he would sign the bill into law.

The only thing that could stop this is if the current Governor loses re-election in November and the bill has not been signed into law. The guy running against the Governor is pro-law enforcement and it is unlikely he would support this bill.

I'm waiting to find out what the rules are for opening a dispensory. I want to be the first on the list approved!

i want to say congrats to the state of new jersey for passing their medical marijuana bill finally.It's a step in the right direction to allow seriously ill people axcess to a safer alternative medicine safer than most prescription pills.Hopefully,the same thing can happen in my state of Pennsylvania.They're trying to pass H.B.1393 right now!So I make this plea to anyone who reads this in P.a. to right your local state reps. to show your support.So we can medicate safely.
