The Press of Atlantic City, 12 Oct 2010 – No one expected New Jersey’s medical-marijuana law to be the kind of loose, wink-and-a-nod dispensary system that exists in California. Fact is, that’s precisely what supporters of the measure said would not happen. And that’s what makes the angry outcry over the new, restrictive rules announced last week by the Christie administration seem a bit overwrought. Are they strict? Yes. Are they so strict as to make medical marijuana unavailable to people who need it? We don’t think so – but those critics have a 60-day public hearing process to make their case. And the Christie administration should be open to tweaking the regulations if that case is made.
