US NJ: Editorial: End Delays For Medical Marijuana

Herald News, 31 Jul 2010 – STOP BLOWING smoke. It’s time to inhale. Cancer patients, people with AIDS, victims of Lou Gehrig’s disease and others have waited long enough. They were supposed to be allowed to smoke medical marijuana starting in October. Thirteen other states already allow it, and New Jersey became the 14th back in January, when the Legislature passed the nation’s strictest law and then-Gov. Jon Corzine signed it. But then Governor Christie pushed back the start date to January 2011, in a move befitting a prosecutor, because he wanted "to do it the right way," his spokesman said.
