NJ Weedman runs for State Assembly
Peaceful pothead Edward “NJ Weedman” Forchion is using his newly regained freedom to run for New Jersey General Assembly in the Nov. 6 election.
“I think I am popular in the city,” Forchion, 54, said Friday inside his newly reopened NJ Weedman’s Joint restaurant across from Trenton City Hall. “I have the best name recognition of the candidates.”
Indeed, Forchion’s name appears on the ballot as an independent candidate running against incumbent Democratic Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, who was appointed to the seat earlier this year by a few hundred Democrats.
