New Jersey to Allow Medical Cannabis Telemedicine Recommendations
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) has signed a law allowing medical cannabis recommendations to be made via telehealth services. The state first allowed telemedicine recommendations for medical cannabis patients in August 2020 amid the state’s emergency response to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a joint statement, the bill sponsors—Democratic Assemblywomen Pamela Lampitt and Joann Downey—said the law utilizes “today’s technology to help provide easier access to this beneficial medication on behalf of the people who need it the most.”
