Our allies at the Drug Policy Alliance are announcing the addition of new sponsors to medical marijuana legislation that will be introduced in the New Jersey State Assembly and Senate:

Medical Marijuana Closer in New Jersey
Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham, Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak, and Sen. Jim Whelan (who sits on the Health Committee, where the bill will initially be heard), have all signed on. With Sen. Nicholas P. Scutari as the prime sponsor in the Senate, these new additions make for a total of four sponsors in the Senate and seven in the Assembly!

As we build on this momentum, it is important to urge your local representatives and the members of the Assembly and Senate health committees to commit to the compassionate, common sense response to suffering by sponsoring A804 / S119. The more sponsors we have on this legislation, the better chance we have of making medical marijuana a reality in New Jersey.
