As we all know, NJ has currently proposed some pretty shitty laws for medical users. Only 6 stores in the whole state, leaving lengthy drives for cancer patients, no home growing, leaving your only option the often overpriced dispensaries with a 10% cap on THC. the entire bill in its present form can be found here----
The agency proposal follows: http://www.state.nj.us/health/documents/medical_marijuana_proposal.pdf
it is a 111 page pdf, but if this effects you, THEN READ SOME OF IT. it is split up into patient information and ATC information.
Everyone in NJ or even near it should do themselves and everyone else a favor and SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE LAWS. The NJ assembly and senate have already defied christie's attempted even stricter laws in response to the will of the people. Now is the time to do something, do not let it slide past with 10% thc caps and no home growing, along with a 2 oz a month limit.
STARTING NOW!!!!! I propose we all flood the above address--Submit written comments by April 23, 2011 to:

and give our opinions. please try to be lucid and clear and direct. I propose a couple ideas here feel free to use them. I do not think we can be shooting for the moon, but some of these are reasonable.
1. Allow patients to grow 6 Mature plants and 12 overall. Include strict rules about door locks and security systems if you want.
2. Remove the cap on thc. Every other drug is dosed as prescribed by a doctor, We should instead seperate under 10% strains into a slightly different category. Doctors could decide if the patient needed the higher dose or not.
3. Allow ATCs to use edible forms of THC, and to educate about vaporizing buds, as traditional smoking is not ideal for patients.
add whatever you want, the point is ACT NOW. Otherwise we will get stuck with some bullshit. our representatives actually care more about what we think than what the governor thinks for once, we need to take advantage of this.
