Please protect medical marijuana patients in NJ!

Published: June 27, 2011

New Jersey’s medical marijuana program is in danger! Governor Christie refuses to implement the New Jersey Compassionate Use Act until he receives assurance from the federal government that they will not prosecute state workers. Sounds like another example of Gov. Christie moving the goalposts to continue to delay implementation. The federal government has never prosecuted state workers in any other medical marijuana state — and it isn’t going to happen here. We can't let federal bullying deny sick and dying patients their medicine.

Our allies at Drug Policy Alliance, who worked hard to pass S. 119, are leading the charge and have prepared this action. Tell Governor Christie to fight for sick and dying New Jersey patients by moving forward with the medical marijuana program now!

Your many calls and emails helped New Jersey become the 14th medical marijuana state, and now it’s time to speak out again. We need to flood the governor’s office with messages from people like you. Please also forward this email to friends, colleagues and mailing lists, and post this link  on your Facebook page.

Please ACT NOW to ensure that seriously ill patients have safe access to medical marijuana with their doctors' recommendations.
