At a town hall meeting in Jersey City sponsored by the Coalition for Medical Marijuana, about 20 people showed up to find out how the law will work.

 

Some were patients, like Crohns Disease sufferer Eric Schwaglih, who wanted to know if his doctor in New York City can authorize him to register in New Jersey's new program. (He can't.)

 

"If my doctor remains in New York, that could be a problem," Schwaglih said.

 

Another questioner asked if health insurance will cover the cost. (It won't.)

 

There were several questions about when medical marijuana can be legally sold. August or September appears to be the earliest possible date according to Ken Wolski, co-founder of the coalition.

 

"My biggest fear is that there's going to be an unreasonable delay in the implementation of this law," feared Wolski, who should know, after saying he served 25 years in the state government bureaucracy.

 

The reality is that under the law, the state has at least six months to come up with the rules for running the program, and picking the six non-profit Alternative Treatment Centers authorized to be the first to grow and sell the marijuana. The law specifically prohibits patients from growing their own, or buying it anywhere other than at an accredited center.

 

Then the ATCs still have to set up shop, including growing their marijuana, presumably from seed.

 

After those first six ATC's start operating, private businessmen and women can apply to open their own outlets.

 

Tim Snyder is interested in doing that. Currently an IT project manager, he has already researched much of the law.

 

"I think it's kind of a neat time to get in on the ground when there's a lot of excitement, a lot of interest and there's probably a lot of support," Snyder said.

 

That kind of attitude has advocates excited.

 

"The folks who are gonna be serious about this aren't just business people, they wanna see patients get served by this program," said the coalition's Chris Goldstein.So how long will it be befor it starts a long time it seam

Governor's proposal would make state first to run a centralized production and distribution systemGovernor Chris Christie's administration wants to see marijuana grown at Rutgers University agricultural center and dispensed through hospitals under New Jersey's new medical treatment program.

 

New Jersey became one of fourteen states authorizing medical marijuana under a law that passed in January. If the amendment is passed, it would become the first state to operate a centralized production and distribution system.

 

Roseanne Scotti, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance of New Jersey, in a report on NorthJersey.com that the proposed changes would limit economic growth from the medical marijuana industry. "Why go back to the drawing board, especially when seriously ill people are waiting?" she asked.

 

Prime law sponsor Senator Nicholas Scutari (D-Union) said state health officials approached him about changes in the law. He understands that Christie "wants to make sure this is strictly controlled-but he doesn't want to see this as becoming too restrictive."

 

Scutari also plans to introduce a bill Monday which will grant the Health Department ninety more days- from October to January- to write the rules and make the program operational. Christie's administration had sought up to a year's delay.

 

Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer), another key sponsor, said he liked how adopting this law would give Rutgers "a great opportunity academic-wise... to be the cutting edge of developing new strains of marijuana that deal with illness."

 

Bob Goodman, executive director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station at Rutgers confirmed that the state had contacted him back in March about forming a partnership in the medical marijuana program.
