Medicinal marijuana to be legalised in Victoria

Locally-grown medicinal cannabis will be legalised in Victoria, under a controversial State Government move to ease the suffering of people with serious medical conditions.

N.J.'s newest medicinal marijuana dispensary offers patients another option

BELLMAWR — Before Monday, Megan Asman used to have to take a whole day to get down to Egg Harbor in order to get medicinal marijuana.

The 31-year-old Cherry Hill resident has been part of the state's medicinal marijuana program for about a year, and for about a year she had to make time for that long day.

However, Asman's trek turned into more of a quick errand Monday, which was the opening day for Compassionate Sciences Alternative Treatment Center, the first medical marijuana dispensary on the western side of South Jersey.

As a medical professional, I feel medical cannabis is no exception.

Hundreds of opioid addicts are being treated with medical marijuana in Massachusetts, with advocates touting the new therapy as a life-changing alternative to a deadly epidemic — and facing down critics who contend they are peddling junk science.
