New Jersey lawmakers pass medical marijuana law

[1n3utron7]

Damn so were wud u get it from ???? nd  kelspeed1972 ....... stfu u homo

[Kelspeed1972]

Noooooooooo! Marijuana is from Satan. Look at all of the people who die from it and the liver damage it causes!

[HelpTheHemp]

@Kelspeed1972 No one has ever died from marijuana :)

[Kelspeed1972]

@HelpTheHemp no one's ever been strangled (be it on accident or on purpose) from a piece of hemp rope?

[HelpTheHemp]

@Kelspeed1972 You make a logical point so let me rephrase my statement. It is impossible to die from an overdose of THC. Better?

[1n3utron7]

can anybdy tell me why if u cud get Medical marijuana now in jersey .. why there r noo dispesaries yet ??

[HelpTheHemp]

@1n3utron7 Gov. Christie fucked everything up! Rutgers University was originally suppose to cultivate the marijuana for dispensaries under the bill Corzine signed right before he left office. FUCK CHRISTIE!

[NY811]

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT IS PASSED THERE? CAN I GET MEDICAL MARIJUANA THERE TOMOROW FOR EXAMPLE IF I GET PHYSICIANS NOTE. NEW JERSEY REPLYS ONLY THX

[HelpTheHemp]

@NY811 Nope. Gov. Christie fucked everything up.

[KennyForresto]

The more old people die, the more marijuana becomes legal.

[SolarWinds63]

The only bad thing about pot and hash is the paper use a pipie.

[bigsammieking]

People are worried about it being more available to kids !? Would they rather these patients be on Oxy's (read pharmaceutical heroine) and that be more available to kids?

[AskidMARK4u3]

Mantua Township is a joke

[Chris1178R]

Just give up people. Maybe if everyone shuts up about it. They'll Legalize it! lol

[JackSmith07]

anyone who thinks pot should remain criminalized should be executed. actually they should be tortured to death.

[SS2GOGETA]

lol its so much easier to get herb compared to getting someone to buy you booze.

[megatroll]

All drugs will be legalized in the future, because in long term it's the only reasonable solution. Everything else will only lead to more chaos.

Apart from the fact that no state, no government, nor any other formation of human interest should have the power to allow or disallow any other being what to put in your body.

I'm just afraid humanity will have eliminated itself long before it reached the mental state of mind to realize this.

[cgp537]

Thank the lord! very happy with NJ decision! Now lets get everyone else to follow the good example NJ and the 13 other states have set and legalize Medicinal Marijuana! I'm tired of having to hide the fact i need to smoke to gain an appetite and feel better. The conflicts and hassle of getting herb is just annoying!

[ohprballer]

when is this gonna happen in florida? if they do that here, i hope it ends the making and sell of meth.

[Simplysick408]

cigarettes kill thousands of people a year ...that fat bitch with all thjose joints hanging around his neck is not really proving a point..i can go to the store and buy 700 cigarettes for 30 bucks ....cigarettes kill marijuana doesnt!!!!

[HelpTheHemp]

@Simplysick408 On average 460,000 people per year die directly from tobacco products.

[AUX999]

Colorado has some of the best laws. They just ok'd the opening of over 380 dispensaries in Boulder....time to ski!

[dablacktruth0501]

there Is Nothing Wrong at All With The Gahn-JaH Pharmaceutical Drugs Kill More People In The United States 20-30 years Old then Crack, Heroin, Weed, Crystal Meth , And all other Street Drugs Combined! But That Doesn't Get That Much Media Attention Because The Pharmaceutical Companies Got financial Ties With The Media! Plus The War On Drugs Is A War On The people! Not Drugs. The U.S. Has The Highest Prison Population In The Word! 60% Of Inmates Are In For Drug Related Charges! Legalize it!!

[justaquicklook]

This makes Al Gore and his hatred for plant life very angry.

[TehSkywalker]

2:16 he can't even make joints :)

[zaczattack]

What the fuck are they talking about it would be more accesable. I'm 15 and it's harder for me to get alcohal than it is to get weed because weed is unregulated and isnt sold at stores. And also for those who thinks it's a bad thing for teens to smoke weed, would you rather have them inhale some airisul and fry there brains and be permanantly brain damaged or dead, or would you rather have them smoke something that is less harmful to your body than coffee?

[mikeyoliveri]

@zaczattack thank you dude!!!

[zaczattack]

@mikeyoliveri haha I'm looking at this comment again and I can see how much my grammar has improved in one year. But the comment does get the point across. If you leave it up to black markets to sell the drug, their going to sell it to anyone because they are already breaking the law. If our brain dead politicians could put 2 and 2 together, they would have it legalized for adults. Ron Paul 2012!!!

[holytroz]

2:10, thats such bullshit coming from someone that clearly has no experience with mj, my joints r much fatter ;)

[blomstersenter]

I never understood why they are so concerned about marijuana, but not stuff like vicodin

[holytroz]

amen

[caribbeancognac]

Good for you, New Jersey. You should be proud that you are helping those suffering from horrible pain.

[shadowpirate100]

Business-Government collusion is a dangerous fact that compromises democracy. It is criminal that they suppress the truth. Why does the media continue to ignore Medical Marijuana?

While this type of study cannot conclusively prove cause and effect, the combination of this new study and existing research , which for decades has shown that cannabinoids are fairly potent anticancer drugs — raises a significant possibility that marijuana use is in fact protective against certain types of cancer.

[AUX999]

@shadowpirate100

Who cares? Legalize it, decriminalize it as quietly as you want. As a medicine and for recreational use.

[VulcanXL]

I'm proud that our nation is at least recognizing Marijuana as a medicine, but I do wished they'd just allow it normally like Alcohol&Tobacco can be used. I can't complain though, because this is still a very big step, now people need to be educated on the real truth of Cannabis.

[BobMarleyLurks]

@VulcanXL

They will soon

[jpee1979]

marijuana is a god given plant.. I guess gods the true criminal?? Stress is the number #1 killer of all americans... all we need is a little Relaxation and MJ does wonders!!!!

[JHVH1]

They are so scared of a drug that has no direct ties to harming anyone. Alcohol kills way more people in more ways than one and is easier to get.

[graphicbrew]

I am so happy. My mom suffers from MS and we live in NJ. It's about time something good happened with the law.

[njstarfish67]

silvertongue- huh?

[Lorielknight]

Alright,, enough! I have had it with Republicans who tell us what to do and whats right and wrong. Not all of us are bible beating bigots who think because something is taboo in their church then it must be taboo for the rest of the world. If the govt was smart, they would legalize the whole damn thing. From you growing to smoking in your own home. Just charge a tax on the licence so they make their money and get us out of debit!

[C0leman]

Don't they use common sense? I love how they say it will be in the hands of people who shouldn't have it. Well, as stated below do drug dealers ask for I.D. cards? No, dispensaries will...AND this is just for medical purposes. It's not like some healthy kid off the street can walk into a dispensary and buy an ounce...(Hey I'd love that but let's look at reality for a second)

[AnaboliX]

lol worried about kids having access to medical marijuana? really...? hahaha

Ok what about alcohol and ciggs thats over the counter all over throughout towns and cities...

[Brainstormhaze]

My dealer doesn't ask for I.d.

Give that a thought. I'm not saying underage kids should be smoking weed,the point I'm trying to make is it's easier for me to get weed from my guy than it is through my state.The war on drugs is a joke.

[cornbredthegreat]

@Brainstormhaze truly lets keep wasting more money on a failing war, or effort. fuck, lets legalize, save our economy, and save our youth from unnessecary jail time.

[360NickFlip]

I think that if weed helps sick people then non sick sould b able to get high. There is not a single bad thing about weed so legalize it already

[fatchicksaresexytoo]

binplhh...you are an uneducated mess. just because you enjoy prescription drugs doesnt mean that everyone else does...lay off the pharmies and get some medi marijuana

[binplhh]

Cannabis is not even that popular among kids these days. They prefer legal drugs that were prescribed for their parents (or them for that matter). It's sickening that so many brainwashed people feel like they really must be heard and when they get to the microphone they offend human intellect. "Legal marijuana will bring carnage to society" and dumb sh!t like that. Read some unbiased books before you open your mouths.

[elderlyjr]

Where the fuck is NY on this issue??? I fucking hate NY! Good for NJ!!!

[HerbmosaBeachLocal]

i think feds are gonna crack down n try to intimidate them in the beginning.

[cozmikgate]

Kids inhale computer duster and other inhalants and die.They take opiates and sleeping pills and drink ,people are really worried about weed? Get real

[snranddmr]

Its so funny how the polititions act like they care for our health but yet people die every day from cigarettes and pills that the goverment sells that have worst side effects then what its tryin to cure. but haveu ever heard of someone dyin from mj? No exactly its not bad the side effects are hungry happy and eventually sleepy and its not a gateway drug all you people that are against mj you obviousley never smoked before. try it I bet youll have a different precpective after.

[yboris]

LOL! 2:42 "the minute you tie in profit motives and drugs together you are going to have a problem, we are going to have people getting this marijuana ..." as if without dispensaries there is no profit from selling marijuana :P

[WVCannabis]

LOL me too. prohibition is what causes the "profit", and causes "drug dealers" which causes the easy access by our kids and grandchildren. So what is the difference between my opiate prescriptions that pharmaceutical companies and politicians are making huge profits and a grower of medical marijuana? the profits change hands AND I will get healthier when I'm allowed to use MMJ instead of the synthetic pharma's that are making me sicker.

[RapGodzilla]

Legalize it NOW! and a message to all the dumbasses that think Marijuana is bad go do your own research and not believe these fuking politicians. watch the Movie Union the business behind getting high if you dont have money to rent watch it online search it on google videos

[RapGodzilla]

and MJ's is proven not to be "the gateway drug" cuz studies have shown that only 1 out of 104 people that smoke mjdo coke and less than 1 out of those 104 do heroin and that wouldn't happen also it just ends up being in the hands of drug dealers that sell hard drugs have MJ also so hence it's probably easier to obtain coke than it is to buy a fu kking pack of cigs.

[yay78900]

I think mj is the gateway drug... for the legalization of all drugs, since prohibition always has the same result for any substance. In my opinion, if someone can't control their own drug use, then it is their own irresponsible fault. Personally, I feel similar negative side effects from cocaine, too much caffeine, and my prescribed adderall and ritalin... all obtained in very different ways

[WVCannabis]

MMJ is the gateway to get me off of highly destructive and highly addictive pharmaceuticals.

[EclipsedMind]

hahahahaha that is so jersey....i know thet one dude in the background from face book...

[RapGodzilla]

Exactly what i am talking about "

silvertongueddevil36 " it's soo much wasier for kids to obtain it from the streets the dealer isn't gonna check his ID's and what is that BS about risks wanna talk about risks let's about all the risks there are in pfizer drugs and every other pill these newschannels make us take. i'm outti

[egkg75]

:54 why the fuck did he kiss the floor??? I think he has hiv too so I mean come on dude haven't you learned about germs yet.

[silvertongueddevil36]

why do these people always say the same thing? the children, the children. it must be nice to live in oblivion.kids today eat these damn pills an die;but weed is the real demon. i'd like to see what thier kids are poppin behind thier backs.they don't know cuase thier noses are too far up thier ass!!! check your medicene cabinet holier than thou.

[njstarfish67]

To those who oppose the legalization, any care giver has access to any of the patients drugs. People buy it on the streets and it may be laced with who knows what. I am glad NJ finally recognizes the pain of MS to be as real as the pain of any dibilitating disease.

[silvertongueddevil36]

@njstarfish67 the usa the ussr lets swap places they have our freedom we have a long dont do that list.what a trade!

[briguy1555]

hahah see it should be like this everywhere it doesnt hurt anybody

[yay78900]

2:33 Want to get rid of the profit motive? End the drug war. But you dont want to end the drug war, because the war is profitable for evil greedy control freaks like you.

[silvertongueddevil36]

@yay78900 obama-we don't want mom and pop dispensories.reallly? i thought free enterprise started this nation!
