The Record, 11 Aug 2012 – THERE finally is a small ray of sunshine for New Jersey residents suffering from such awful ailments as cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS and muscular dystrophy. Almost three years after it was approved, medical marijuana may become available to patients next month. The state Health Department this week announced that patients who qualify for the drug can begin registering to get it on the "Medicinal Marijuana Program" page on the department’s website. The registry will help connect patients with an estimated 150 doctors who have signed up with the state to dispense marijuana. As of Friday, 28 physicians in Bergen County and eight in Passaic County are participating.
