Hunterdon County Democrat, 20 Aug 2012 – TEWKSBURY TWP. — Only a handful of patients initially signed up for New Jersey’s medical marijuana program. Township resident David Barnes, who qualifies for the program due to a debilitating digestive disorder, was not one of them, despite his desire to participate. In the past year, while waiting for the program to begin, Barnes has been to the emergency room four times after experiencing seizures. Meanwhile, his doctor of more than 15 years — who signed up a year ago with the physicians’ registry — experienced his own health problems and was forced to retire from practicing medicine.
