Courier-Post, 24 Nov 2012 – It is very promising to learn that Colorado and Washington State legalized marijuana for all adults, as the result of voter referendums on Nov. 6. Recreational marijuana will now be controlled, taxed and regulated by those states in a way similar to alcohol. Legitimate businesses will be licensed to sell marijuana. New Jersey arrests approximately 25,000 people per year for marijuana offenses and has a 9.8 percent unemployment rate. It is time that New Jersey legalizes marijuana to create jobs, reduce crime and lower taxes.

Star-Ledger, 30 Oct 2012 – State Sen. Robert Singer (R-Ocean) seemed misinformed in a recent news release regarding medical marijuana. In the release, Singer argued that because President Obama long ago broke his promise to stop federal Drug Enforcement Administration raids on state authorized medical cannabis providers, New Jersey may need to reconsider implementation of a medical marijuana program.

Burlington County Times, 02 Oct 2012 – 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.
