THE COURIER POST
December 27th, 2010

Edward "Weedman" Forchion, a perennial political candidate in Burlington County, says he will keep running for office until lawmakers get themessage that sticky ickies should be decriminalized."The law is wrong and I am right," Forchion said by phone from Oakland, Calif.

"The state of New Jersey has made a mistake in classifying marijuana as just a criminal substance."

Forchion says he uses marijuana for medicinal and religious purposes. Pot is frequently used for healing and ritualistic purposes in Rastafarianism, a religion he practices...

The state Democratic committee got Forchion kicked off the 3rd congressional district ballot last spring by challenging his signatures. The Legalize Marijuana Party candidate admitted he wasn't very focused on his campaign."It wasn't high on my list of priorities,"he said.

Forchion vowed to run for office again next year in order to keep his name in the news. He said the current dispute in the State House over a restrictive medical marijuana bill was a sign that views about pot have relaxed.
