Although New Jersey Medical Marijuana laws was enacted many months ago. it appears that administrative decisions are impeding it application.

Recently, the Department of Health and Senior services (DHSS) enacted a proposed form of regulations to control the law. The regulations which are comprised of  about 98 pages of text, include restrictions not contemplated by the statute. 

Some of those restrictions  included a limitation on the THC content of the marijuana/pot as well as  the strains of the marijuana/pot to be sold.  They are also requiring qualified physician to inform qualified patients of the potential additive effect of marijuana/pot. These new rules and regulations have been seriously criticized by the sponsors of the statute, medical marijuana/pot advocates and people potentially qualified for the medical marijuana/pot.  Indeed, recently the New Jersey Assembly enacted a Resolution condemning the DHSS efforts to place impermissible limitations on the medical marijuana/pot statute.
