ADMINISTRATION MUST PUT PATIENTS FIRST

This January will mark three years since New Jersey passed a medical
marijuana law. But to this day, not a single patient has received the
legal protections intended by the law or safe access to medical cannabis.

It's time for Gov. Chris Christie to stop making excuses and start
working to ensure that New Jersey's medical marijuana program becomes
operational.

The latest round of permit issues, again delaying the opening of the
Greenleaf Compassion Center in Montclair (which hopes to be the
state's first legal provider of the medicine), is nothing more than
smoke and mirrors from an administration caught in the draconian
ideology of reefer madness.

Patients must be put before politics.
