New Jersey Medical Marijuana News
Apr 18, 2012
The Record, 18 Apr 2012 - THE PATH toward start-up of New Jersey's medical marijuana law has been a slow and painful march, beset by one roadblock after another. Already one of the most stringent laws in the nation, the Garden State version has been further hindered by Governor Christie, who was never excited about its prospects in the first place. Bureaucratic foot-dragging has dogged the process from Day One, as have repeated skirmishes with legislators about how the law should be implemented. Extensive paperwork has been thrown in at every turn.

Daily Targum, 08 Feb 2012 - Former Gov. John S. Corzine signed the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act in January 2010, effectively making the state the 14th in the country to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. Yet in the two years that followed, little progress was made regarding efforts to open up dispensaries or growing facilities within the state. Since the law's signing, state-approved centers beginning operations have faced a sluggish response from both the state's health department and a certain unwillingness to accommodate their facilities from N.J. townships. Only two out of the six centers have found homes thus far, including Greenleaf Compassion Center in Montclair, and more recently, Compassionate Care Foundation in Egg Harbor Township.
