Despite other legislators in New Jersey impeding Governor Murphy’s attempts to bring recreational cannabis and its commercial sales to the state’s residents, an expanded medical marijuana program should allow many more patients to access medical cannabis and make it more affordable.

Notice of the Division’s public conferences was published today in the New Jersey Register.
