Daily Targum, 08 Feb 2012 – Former Gov. John S. Corzine signed the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act in January 2010, effectively making the state the 14th in the country to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. Yet in the two years that followed, little progress was made regarding efforts to open up dispensaries or growing facilities within the state. Since the law’s signing, state-approved centers beginning operations have faced a sluggish response from both the state’s health department and a certain unwillingness to accommodate their facilities from N.J. townships. Only two out of the six centers have found homes thus far, including Greenleaf Compassion Center in Montclair, and more recently, Compassionate Care Foundation in Egg Harbor Township.
