Medical Marijuana Advocate Zito Hopeful of Scutari’s Leadership
Jo Anne Zito of the ‘Coalition for Medical Marijuana – New Jersey’ believes that the new year will be a good one for the state’s medical marijuana patients, equity, and also for social justice. She cited the departure of Senate President Stephen Sweeney, replaced by Senator Nick Scutari, as a reason to be optimistic for 2022. “There is cause for hope,” Zito told Insider NJ. “Scutari is a little bit better on cannabis. He seems to definitely want to remove the felony issue, maybe make it a misdemeanor.”
