cmmnj.org Chris Goldstein 6-4-2009 medical marijuana testimony

On June 4, 2009 the New Jersey Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee passed the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act 8 to 1 with 2 abstentions, forwarding the bill to the full Assembly for a vote this fall. The vote showed the strong support among legislators to put in place a state regulated therapeutic cannabis program. The Senate version of the bill passed a floor vote 22-16 in February
Chris Goldstein testified on behalf of CMM-NJ at the 6/4/09 hearing and asked that the committee pass the bill in 2009 without trying to perfect the language. Instead he said, " New Jersey should follow the example of New Mexico." That legislation allowed the NM Department of Health to decide and promulgate the rules on distribution and the registry card system rather than have it defined in the bill.

Chris Goldstein, the latest addition to the Coalition for Medical Marijuana New Jersey!

In my estimation, Chris is the bridge between the CMMNJ and our stated goals. Every medical marijuana organization should have a Chris. The Coalition was well represented at the Assembly hearing that day.

Jim Miller, co-founder of CMM-NJ
