The New Jersey State Senate is expected to vote on the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act, Senate Bill S.119 on February 23, 2009. This bill if passed, would allow for qualifying patients with written certification from a physician to apply for a registry identification card allowing them to use marijuana as a medicine.
The bill would allow patients with a registration card and a designated care giver, if any, to collectively possess up to 6 marijuana plants and one ounce of "usable marijuana". Usable marijuana is defined in the bill as "the dried leaves and flowers of marijuana, and any mixture or preparation thereof, and does not include the seeds, stalks and roots of the plant".
Thirteen states have already legalized medical marijuana and New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine has said he will sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk.
The Chronic Report fully supports the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act and strongly urges all New Jersey residents to contact their representatives telling them you support this bill.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws has setup a web page to make sending this message as easy as filling in the blanks. You don't need to think of what to say or even know who your Senator is they will automatically send a pre-written email to the right people based on your zip code. You do not need to change the wording of the email if you choose not to but adding a personal touch is always nice.
Let your voice be heard. Although you might not change the mind of anyone already dead set on voting no on S.119, if you can push even one person who is sitting on the fence on this issue down on to our side it may be the difference in getting this bill passed!
