ACTION: CONTACTING LEGISLATORS!

Make legislators aware of these bills ((A846 (S1393), A3867 (S1985), A898 (S2828), S1943, & S1944))/ Tell them and their office to become familiar with them, support them, and tell Senate President Nicholas Scutari it's time to allow them to be posted for hearings to help patients access life-saving medicine they need but cannot afford or that ATCs may not sell. Many patients need specialized cultivars not favored in markets geared toward adult-use sales.

Patients should not have to wait on adult-use market expansion for this access especially since 'home grow in every state has shown to have no impact on the business market' and only 30% municipalities have opted into the market.

Growing any number of plants is a felony with a potential five year sentence and patients need legislators to take action on this to help patients better access their medicine and control their conditions.

The people want education not criminalization!

Cannabis Regulatory Commission Executive Director, Jeff Brown, declared, 'This is the year that New Jersey does a billion dollars in cannabis sales.' while New Jersey boasts some of the highest priced medical cannabis in the country. Not supporting patients home growing is simply disrespectful.

IT'S TIME FOR LEADERSHIP to do what's right and post these bills for hearings so that legislators may be properly informed on the issue!
