MMJ Up for Final Vote Monday in New Jersey
Posted by CN Staff on January 08, 2010 at 18:44:25 PT

Source: Express-Times
New Jersey -- Coming down to the wire, both chambers of the New Jersey Legislature are scheduled to vote Monday on legalizing medical marijuana.The Assembly on Thursday amended its bill to reflect months of negotiations over its version and that of the Senate. An Assembly committee last June tightened the Senate version approved last February, removing such provisions as allowing patients to grow marijuana at home.
Monday marks the final voting day of the 2008-09 session, before the 214th Legislature begins its work Jan. 12. A vote by the full Assembly is scheduled to be followed by a concurrence vote in the Senate, staff from the primary Assembly and Senate sponsors' offices said today. "The goal of the legislation is really to make sure that patients had adequate access, that the program wasn't going to be abused and that we were doing the responsible thing for not only the patients but also the citizens of the state," said Mike DeLoreto, chief of staff for Assembly Deputy Majority Leader Reed Gusciora, D-Mercer.Timothy Prol, legislative aide to Sen. Nicholas P. Scutari, D-Union/Somerset/Middlesex, said he is optimistic the bill will pass. "We're looking to help those patients who need this medication, and this bill will provide that," Prol said.Gov. Jon Corzine has said he would sign the bill. Gov.-elect Chris Christie, who takes office Jan. 19, has also said he supports the measure, provided sufficient safeguards are in place.The version up for a vote Monday increases the amount of marijuana patients can possess to two ounces per month, up from one ounce in the previous Assembly version. Out is the original Senate provision to allow patients to grow six marijuana plants.It also tightens background checks on employees of six nonprofit dispensaries, to be spread across New Jersey with two each in the northern, central and southern regions, DeLoreto said. The state Department of Health and Senior Services would be empowered to license additional for-profit and nonprofit dispensaries.The bill charges the department with reporting to the Legislature every two years on how accessible patients are finding the drug.Doctors would be required to report their marijuana prescriptions to the state Division of Consumer Affairs the same as they do for other drugs considered controlled dangerous substances.Under the version up for a vote, medical marijuana would be available to patients suffering from seizure disorders, glaucoma, wasting disorders, HIV and AIDS, cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, inflammatory bowel syndrome including Crohn's disease, and any terminal illness where the patient is given less than a year to live.The bill would empower the Department of Health and Senior Services to approve more conditions for which marijuana could be prescribed.Newshawk: charmed quarkSource: Express-Times, The (PA)Author: Kurt Bresswein Published: January 08, 2010Copyright: 2010 The Express-TimesURL: http://drugsense.org/url/qdKTv4BCContact: http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/contactus/Website: http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/expresstimes/CannabisNews Medical Marijuana Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/medical.shtml

Washington Wednesday...
Monday: Lawmakers in New Jersey are scheduled to vote on the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act. This is the final day that lawmakers will be voting on issues from the 2008-2009 legislative session. This means that the bill must pass the Assembly floor, and then be rectified with the Senate version of the bill, before it can be sent to outgoing Gov. Jon Corzine for his approval. NORML’s local affiliates have spent months urging Assembly leaders to act on this legislation, and to expand upon several of its provisions.New Jersey NORML and the Coalition for Medical Marijuana — New Jersey have scheduled a press conference to take place in the Capitol Rotunda following the vote. If you reside in New Jersey you still have time to make your voice heard by going to NORML’s ‘Take Action Center’ here and/or and by going
to the State House in Trenton on Monday afternoon to show your support. (CMMNJ has reserved a room for patients and other out-of-town attendees who wish to participate in the day’s events.)Tuesday: Members of the California Assembly, Public Safety Committee will vote on Assembly Bill 390, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act, which seeks to regulate and control the production, distribution, and personal use of marijuana for adults age 21 and older. This vote will mark the first time since 1913, when California became one of the first states in the nation to enact cannabis prohibition, that lawmakers have reassessed this failed policy. (See my op/ed in today’s Sacramento Bee here.) A press conference is anticipated to take place immediately following the vote. You can read NORML’s prepared testimony here and here, and you can voice your support for this effort by going here.Wednesday: Washington state House lawmakers will hear testimony at 1:30pm in favor of a pair of bills seeking to significantly reduce state marijuana penalties. Members of the House Committee on Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness will debate two pending proposals, House Bill 1177 and House Bill 2401. House Bill 1177 seeks to reclassify the possession of forty grams or less of marijuana from a misdemeanor to a class 2 civil infraction punishable by a $100 fine. House Bill 2401 seeks to “remove all existing civil and criminal penalties for adults 21 years of age or older who cultivate, possess, transport, sell, or use marijuana.” This will be the first time state lawmakers have ever debated regulating marijuana production, distribution, and use by adults.NORML representatives will be testifying in Olympia on Wednesday (Read testimony here.), and NORML Advisory Board member Rick Steves will also be hosting a public forum on the topic at Olympia’s Capitol Theater on Tuesday evening. If you live in Washington, you can urge the Committee to vote ‘yes’ on one or both of these measures by going here and here.

I think the problem is more about the international countries in my opinion. If they saw too much being talked about cannabis and a person was from a country with harsh laws it wouldn't look good for Vancouver in this time of hosting the Olympics. If I'm right Marc Emery will be out way sooner then later.

Such a thing never occurred to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if you are right.Cleaning up the "Degenerates"... a seller of seeds.He may be a bit of a degenerate or something for all I know... but, from what I can see, he has only offended some powerful people's sensibilities. His so called "crime" was offending them. He hasn't hurt them or anyone. He hasn't stolen from them. They just don't like him. A lot. He broke their cannabis seed law. He disobeyed those in power that forbade him use of the cannabis/hemp seed. It's unjust, and it's wrong to put people in jail or prison... caging humans... because they feel that people have a natural right to use the cannabis plant and it's seeds, and stalks, and flowers, and it's oils and compounds, if they want to.It is a very unjust thing that he is being inprisoned for the sake of unjust, sanctimonious, and hypocritical laws.

Buzz up!By Paul Armentano Special to The BeePublished: Sunday, Jan. 10, 2010 - 12:00 am | Page 5EOn Tuesday, members of the state Assembly will vote on California marijuana
policy. The Public Safety Committee will vote on Assembly Bill 390, the
Marijuana Control, Regulation and Education Act, which seeks to regulate and
control the production, distribution, and personal use of marijuana for
adults age 21 and older.Tuesday's vote will mark the first time since 1913, when California became
one of the first states in the nation to impose criminal cannabis
prohibition, that lawmakers have reassessed this failed policy.It is high time that they do.Only by enacting state and local legislation on the use, production and
distribution of marijuana, can state and local governments effectively
impose controls regarding:• Which citizens can legally produce marijuana;• Which citizens can legally distribute marijuana;• Which citizens can legally consume marijuana; and• Where, and under what circumstances, is such use legally permitted.By contrast, the prohibition of marijuana provides California law
enforcement and state regulators with no legitimate market controls.This absence of state and local government controls jeopardizes, rather than
promotes, public safety.For example: Prohibition abdicates the control of marijuana production and
distribution to criminal entrepreneurs (e.g., drug cartels, street gangs,
drug dealers who push additional illegal substances).Prohibition provides young people with unfettered access to marijuana (e.g.,
according to a 2009 Columbia University report, adolescents now have easier
access to marijuana than they do alcohol).Prohibition promotes the use of marijuana in inappropriate and potentially
dangerous settings (e.g., in automobiles, in public parks, in public
restrooms, etc.).Prohibition promotes disrespect for the law and reinforces ethnic and
generation divides between the public and law enforcement (e.g., according
to the FBI Uniform Crime Report, 75 percent of all marijuana arrestees are
under age 30; African Americans account for only 12 percent of marijuana
users, but make up 23 percent of all possession arrests).AB 390 features fiscally conservative, common sense proposals that seek to
raise revenue, promote public safety and limit the access that young people
have to marijuana. These are goals that lawmakers and the public ought to
support.It's time to end 90-plus years of marijuana prohibition with a policy of
legalization, taxation, regulation and education.ShareThis

Ohio Decrim
Ohio is different. Growing 100 grams (almost 4 ounces) is a minor misdemeanor that does not result in any criminal record. 100-200 grams is a 4th degree misdemeanor. So, in theory, a patient, if doing a very careful continuous grow, could grow enough for medical purposes without exposing himself to extreme penalties.IF they only count the usaeble parts of the plant int he law. In most states, they weigh roots and all for these convictions so even a tiny plant would exceed the 100 or even 200 gram limit.

New York or PA
Actually, a lot of activity in this direction for Pennsylvania, although NY is further along.I wonder if decrim/legalization will beat medical marijuana to some of these states. I'm guessing that in five years many states will have either legalized or at least decriminalized cannabis. If decrim only, they will still need medical marijuana laws to allow patients and/or cooperatives to legally grow cannabis since most decrim laws only decriminalize possession, not growing.But we still have to see what's what in NJ...

If this happens in New Jersey think about what could happen in New York! At this rate we might just have half of the whole population of the USA onboard with medical marijuana in the not too distant future.Washington, D.C. might move on quickly now too.

I'll go way back and say what I felt about Marc Emery long before it happened. I knew that Vancouver would host the 2010 Olympics. I felt that because many people from all over the world would visit Vancouver that Marc was in danger of this very thing happening to him that did. I have never talked to Marc Emery and it was just my thoughts so I kept them to myself. Fast forward to now and I believe after the Olympics are over and a little time passes he will be returned to Canada and will be released in a shorter time then 5 years.If for some miracle he doesn't have to serve time in the states he will probably be released early.

Up to 28 degrees, now. The sun is shining. New Jersey's on my mind. The legislation isn't perfect... but it's a huge step in the right direction. I'm praying for Mercy.Marc Emery is on my mind. I'm still hoping for a rescue... a good rescue... even against all odds. I'm praying for Mercy for Marc, too.Feeding and watching birds.Dogs are amazed at snow, usually and it's great to watch.The more Grace and Mercy we all have towards each other and ourselves ... the more Grace and Mercy there is in the Universe and in All That Is ... and that's good.

dogs love snow
We got a 6 month-old american dingo rescue dog in September. A couple of weeks ago we had our first big snow in years. 24 inches. It was the dog's first snow. Boy, did he love it. He went porpoising through the deep snow, disappearing and reappearing as he jumped through it. He also ate it as he ran.He was kinda sad when it melted last week. Roughly 24 hours until the NJ vote. Look for us on the news at the press conference after the vote.

Oh, yes. I remember--like when Bush first became President? Clinton had signed off lots of wilderness as federally protected. Bush came in and, well, erased the whole thing.Still, an important test. I still believe that MJ and MMJ laws should be backed up enough that they could survive Republican conservatism. To this day, I see that as our biggest achievement--that MMJ survived Bush, and was legally and politically able to continually challenge the Bush Doctrine.

Another Political POW
'Prince Of Pot' Soon Off To PrisonUnder A Plea Deal Marc Emery Is Bound To Serve Five Years Behind Bars In The U.S. Vancouver marijuana activist Marc Emery is taking his last puff of freedom -- as the clock counts down on an extradition order that will send him to a U.S. jail for five years. Emery, founder of the B.C. Marijuana Party and publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, is currently out on bail waiting for Federal Justice Minister and Attorney General Rob Nicholson to sign the extradition order, which can be done any time after today.and...By 2005, the U.S. Justice Department got wind of the seeds coming into their country. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency raided Emery's business, and the Canadian government was asked to extradite him to America to face charges of conspiracy to produce and traffic marijuana and to launder the proceeds of crime -- charges that could have landed him a life sentence in a U.S. prison.and...Emery said he expects to be held at SeaTac Federal Detention Centre outside Seattle for several weeks following his transfer to the U.S. while officials decide where he will serve his sentence.more...http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v10/n026/a01.html

2 ounces
originally it was one. We fought for four. This is the compromise.Originally, I wasn't too worried about the details with Corzine as governor. The Department of Health is allowed to modify the rules to better meet patient needs. Corzine will sign it. But then Christie takes over. Christie gets to appoint the leaders in the Dept. of Health. So I'm guessing is he won't let the law expand any.

Comment #11 posted by rchandar on January 09, 2010 at 06:55:57 PT:
My Take
Okay, 2 ounces per month isn't very good, I will say that--that means about less than 2 grams a day, and what good are we if that's all we can have? Someone with terminal cancer or AIDS will feel pain all day, and probably will lapse back into extreme suffering by the end of the month. Picture a middle-aged woman screaming on the phone for whatever medicine is available and never mind the cost...But, this is a must-win for our side. The Northeast has traditionally been conservative about MJ, especially the two neighbors on each side. And the governor's a Republican, right? Big, strong message: we will work with any administration and demand just medical care. I'm glad this is happening early in the year--a lot of newspapers are putting down the Obama Administration and claiming that our values "can't change." So we get this done early, and work through the Spring. So that even after the November elections, and even in the worst case scenario, we won't get the same awful sarcasm from Rush Limbaugh "it's over!". Many of us, when the Repubs took back Congress in 1994, we're incensed by that comment. Back then, the only thing Clinton seemed to be concerned about was the "don't ask, don't tell" rider for gays in the military. We will show the other side that we have made a difference, and remain a contending force in the political equation.Yes, We Can!

Look at this statement! I think that it was the Mayor of New York's answer when ask if King Kong could come there for a visit?Is it the "no clue" syndrome or an attempt to put toothpaste back in the tube? Some of the smarter more crooked ones understand that their professions are on quicksand!
