New Jersey just recently passed a medical marijuana bill through the legislation. The provisions in this bill are severely strict, for instance, Patients with specified diseases such as cancer and glaucoma must demonstrate severe or chronic pain, nausea, seizures, muscle spasms or wasting syndrome to qualify. Is it not enough that these people are suffering, now they have to prove it to the state in order to get a better alternative treatment. They call this bill the “Compassionate use Act” however compassion is no were to be seen in the bill. Gov. Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor, said he supported the concept of the bill but remained concerned that a loophole could lead to abuses. No bill or law can ever be perfect, there are always loopholes. The ability for a patient, particularly disabled patients, to grow in their own private residence is a huge benefit. To take that away would mean your forcing these sick people to have to travel to get their medicine…THIS IS WRONG

NJ’s Unfair MMJ LAWS
The istrain guide
A new application for the iphone or ipod touch that acts as a digital cannabis index. It includes a picture of the strain, a description of the smell, taste and look, a list of the medical properties associated with each individual strain, and a live news feed that recieves only cannabis related news. The strain database is updated every week, so theres a never ending list of strains. The first version of the app is free, however the second version (coming soon!) is 99 cents; this includes zoom capabilities, a section to write notes on each strain, and a search bar. So be one of the first among many to be apart of the istrain guide movement!!
