NJ Expands Medical Marijuana Program (finally)

[Root]

This just happened. I'm guessing in reaction to the sitting democrats opposing legal cannabis, the new left liberal governor is willing to expand the program to create de-facto legalization. Fine with me.

EXPANSION OF AUTHORIZED DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
The Commissioner concurs with the October 25, 2017 final recommendation of the Medicinal Marijuana ReviewPanel to grant the petitions under the categories of Chronic Pain Related to Musculoskeletal Disorders, Migraine, Anxiety, Chronic Pain of Visceral Origin, and Tourette’s Syndrome. A final agency decision was issued on March 22, 2018 to accept the Panel’s recommendations to effectuate theaddition of these debilitating conditions.


REDUCE REGISTRATION FEES
The Department plans to revise N.J.A.C. 8:64-2.1(1)(c) to reduce registration fees (from $200 to $100)

ELIMINATE THE PHYSICIAN REGISTRY
The Department plans to eliminate N.J.A.C. 8:64-2.4 and revise associated rules, which requires physicians interested in providing care to MMP patients to first register with the Department. In turn, these physicians were listed on the Department’s public website in a physician registry for patient convenience. The Department’s elimination of the physician registry will permit any New Jersey physician in good standing and in possession of an active controlled dangerous substances registration issued by the State Division of Consumer Affairs to authorize medicinal marijuana for their qualifying patients.

ELIMINATE 10% THC LIMIT
The Department plans to repeal N.J.A.C. 8:64-10.7(c) to remove the 10% THC limit for product sold

I think once this settles out in a few weeks I'm going to go get a NJ MMJ card. I'm tired of dealing with dealers.

The 10% limit was a by-product of the previous obese hypocritical right liberal governor. There is no new limit.

I'd be anxious that getting officially diagnosed with anxiety and prescribed MMJ would preclude you from being able to get a gun purchaser permit.

eg: from the application:
"(25) Are you dependent upon the use of a narcotic(s) or other controlled dangerous substance(s)?"

"(26) Have you ever been attended, treated or observed by any doctor or psychiatrist or at any hospital or mental
institution on an inpatient or outpatient basis for any mental or psychiatric condition? If yes, give the name and location
of the doctor, psychiatrist, hospital or institution and the date(s) of such occurrence"

I'm pretty low profile, but if it's my turn to take a stand, then it's my turn.

The answer to (25) is "no, I am not dependent". I might go with "Chronic Pain Related to Musculoskeletal Disorders" I won't be doing anything with this until May due to skiing and travel schedules.

Ya California's law is way better, it is for "any condition which medical marijuana provides relief"

I know girls who got it for PMS, and you can get it for insomnia.

End Gun Laws. End Prohibition.

Prohibition is the root of all evil.

That's like the tenth reason to leave NJ.

Though obviously I understand it isn't as simple as just move.

My wife and I talk about it often. The changing of NJ's maximum magazine round capacity from 15 to 10 is waking her up to the idea of freedom from NJ a little bit faster.

I'm also thinking about doing an FFL transfer of my arms into her name so I can pursue this. Like I said earlier, I really don't have the time to pursue this until mid-may. Hopefully things will be more clear by then. I've waited this long. Another 6 weeks or so is no big deal.
