New Medical Marijuana Bill Would Open The Door for More N.J. Patients

Expect more dispensaries and more growers in New Jersey, as long as a new bill gets passed.


New legislation designed to "significantly increase" access to New Jersey's medical marijuana program would allow more dispensaries and cultivation centers to open and permit more medical professionals to refer their patients, NJ Advance Media has learned.

The bill was introduced Tuesday by Sens. Joseph Vitale, D-Middlesex, Nicholas Scutari, D-Union, and Declan O'Scanlon, R-Monmouth, in response to Gov. Phil Murphy's call to reform New Jersey's medical marijuana program.

Vitale told NJ Advance Media the bill would allow the Department of Health to expand the medical marijuana program by issuing licenses to new dispensary operators to meet the increased patient demand.

 "It is our belief that this legislation will significantly increase access for patients, caregivers and providers, and additional forms of medical marijuana that may better suit a patient's need," Vitale said.
