Just read a post in the MMJ forum that had a link to a Chicago Sun-Times article on this subject
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1...-pot05.article . It looks like it has passed the committee which means it still has to be passed by the full Senate and Assembly. The article makes it sound like a "done-deal" but these things take time and our Gov't. moves at a snail's pace.
The NJ Bill was introduced on 1/08/08 and was not voted on in the State Senate until 2/23/09. So it took over a year just to get it to a vote. Luckily it passed but we still have to clear the Assembly and it is not even on their calendar yet.
Write to your Legislators. You'll get it done.
