@SolarWinds63 I am all for it. but I don't want to be in a car with either... NO, you can't drive safely stoned! I can conduct my daily duties as a father, husband and provider but I would not risk driving for at least 4-5 hours after smoking.

Okay..... Pa. and NY lets get on with it.... As a person who suffers from chronic pain and is forced to medicinal addiction to narcotics I can't wait much longer. I use marijuana fewer then 10 times a year because I am a husband and father of 2 young children. I cannot risk arrest or jail. I will stand in front of any group of people who will listen that, YES marijuana works wonders when it comes to pain. Just as well with the anxiety and depression which accompany it . HELP ME!

@NY811

haha no, this is NJ brother. lawers here run this state like a dictatorship. it passed but its on delay because there are "more important" laws to pass

[NY811]

is the bill passed and can u get marijuana there today?

[playerjustin531]

think god im so glad to see this help from the gov

[SolarWinds63]

I hope NJ starts growing the oldest crop banned only in this country. Industrial Hemp... Politicians should stop fighting what people want. People go to jail over a stimulant that is less harmfull then booze. Would you rather be in a car with a falling down drunk or a person stimulated by pot? People who are on pot have there senses and balance. If pot is legal to all the war on drugs will end.... the state will save millions on prosecuting people with a roach or a joint.
