‘Marijuana Refugees’ Leave NJ For Colorado

March 11, 2014

Tweet

When your child is sick, you’ll do just about anything to make them better—including moving halfway across the country to get them the medicine they need. For some families being called “marijuana refugees”, it makes little sense to remain in a state where medicine is promised and not delivered. Instead, they’re moving to a state where a variety of medical marijuana can be found, without having to go on the black market and risk arrest. [Read more…]

If you were to be caught in possession of marijuana today, you would be charged with a crime. It’s considered a disorderly persons offense and carries a possible jail sentence of up to 6 months, along with fines reaching $1,000, not to mention a criminal record.

Gov. Christie Vetoes “Good Samaritan” Drug Use Bill

October 30, 2012

Tweet

The Good Samaritan Overdose Response Act was written to prevent overdose deaths. It was passed by the legislature this year and was expected to become law. But, Governor Christie vetoed the bill, much to the dismay of many lawmakers, drug treatment experts, and families who had lost loved ones to drugs. He said it was a “free pass” to criminals.
