Assemblyman Joe Danielsen (D-17th), is sponsoring a bill that would revise the requirements to authorize and access medical marijuana.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy plans to open six more dispensaries to help better serve New Jersey’s expanding medical marijuana demand.
Since the start of Murphy's term in January, the program has enrolled over 25,000 patients and caregivers, and covers medical conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, Tourette’s syndrome, terminal cancer and more.
Danielsen, a lifelong Franklin Township resident and chairman of the Assembly Oversight, Reform, and Federal Relations Committee, has been leading discussions on New Jersey’s medical marijuana program since March.
“My priority starts off with patients, medicine, solution, social justice component, and profit,” Danielsen said. “Those are my priorities.”
