The use of medical marijuana in New Jersey was approved in January. Then-Gov. Jon S. Corzine signed the bill. Gov. Chris Christie has said he approves of the bill, which limits marijuana use to patients who are very ill and suffering.
The problem is that the governor is delaying implementation of the bill. There is no reason to do that.
The delay means a longer wait before some people will be able to get a drug that they need. When the bill was being considered by the Legislation, there was much testimony from ill people — some in wheelchairs — who spoke of how marijuana eased their pain, or in the case of cancer patients, stimulated their appetite.
The legislation offers many safeguards to prevent people from getting the drug who are not very ill. Having a head cold, for instance, does not qualify. The Christie Administration should move to implement the bill that is now law as soon as possible. There should be no unnecessary delays.
