Advocates continue push to legalize marijuana in New Jersey

Submitted by Marijuana News on Mon, 03/23/2015 - 02:54

TRENTON — Dozens of people gathered Saturday near the New Jersey Statehouse to show their support for legalizing marijuana.

Several people were openly smoking the drug during the rally, but apparently none were arrested.

The event drew a diverse crowd of roughly 200 people. Many said they wanted to show their support for legalizing or decriminalizing pot, while others said it should only be given to people with medical conditions that could be eased by the drug.

The event was led by Ed Forchion (FOR'-chun), a pro-marijuana activist known as NJ Weedman. He renewed his calls for lawmakers to legalize the drug, saying it should be treated like alcohol.

New Jersey issued its first standards for edible forms of medical marijuana last week. That could clear the way for the state's three dispensaries to start making and selling the products.
