Jake Honig's legacy on medical cannabis must be honored | Opinion
On July 2, 2019, Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act into law. The law set a new foundation for New Jersey’s medical cannabis program — one that is patient centered, compassionate, and scientifically focused. Since the beginning of the Murphy Administration — when only 17,000 patients were enrolled — the program has enrolled 63,000 new patients for a total of 80,000 New Jersey residents who are getting the help they need.
