Sign our petition: Access for Patients, seeks to provide provisions to protect patient’s rights to affordable high quality medicine, as well as support for several key NJ bills concerning legalization, decriminalization, education, and social services! https://t.co/eesUROT9BP
Decriminalizing psilocybin is a huge step forward for NJ. Unfortunate that we are still in a stalemate for cannabis decriminalization/legalization. Once the dust settles @GovMurphy should consider decriminalizing all substances and providing quality mental health services, 4 free
The War on Drugs has really been a war on people—disproportionately criminalizing people of color.
If we want to right the wrongs of this failed war, we need to end the federal prohibition of marijuana and focus on restorative justice.

Cannabis reform is only a cornerstone in creating a social environment that is fair and equal to people of all races. Once that happens, the root causes of youth use may be ameliorated. besides those who would medically require cannabis, youths should be waiting to 21 to use
Recognize that using cannabis, or any substance,is often rooted in trying to heal self. SO,instead of continuing systems of punitive justice for youths using cannabis,how about we create a social system that will help to address their underlying reasons for using and help them.
Penalties for underage cannabis use/possession is a step in the wrong direction. Perhaps recognizing that youth who are caught with cannabis typically have a reason for use. This may not be known to them, but just as adults, they may use it to manage mental and physical symptoms.
@bussboy Hopefully both will pass. Fantastic to see the bill introduced, legislators are listening, all in all it was a great day for NJ cannabis. Now just time to push forward!
Congrats to @GovMurphy as cannabis reform takes a small step forward with new cleanup bill and homegrow. Do you think the changes are enough to finally make the will of the people into law? Or will continued penalties for youths be the death of legalization?
@mdb5683@MMJMark1@GovMurphy Legislators could potentially could bogged down discussing individual bills that could have been one comprehensive one. Although it could be a distraction, it is encouraging that there’s a bill for homegrown to throw support behind!
NJ we need to pay attention to AZ, Maine, IL, etc. Need more suppliers and provisions for med patients when adult use starts. And edibles education!
Arizona’s new recreational cannabis firms see strong sales, possible supply issues on horizon https://t.co/s70qZSx455

Patients of the #NJMMP , we are seeking your experiences and opinions. Data collected from this survey will be used to inform cannabis reform here in NJ!
Please fill out our Patient Survey 1 - https://t.co/zRvCen5qAD
@freedomisgreen Perhaps responsible social programs intended to divert youths from ending up in these penalty situations, education about cannabis use/harm reduction, economic support for minorities outside of cannabis reform, and access to healthcare. Then youths will stop turning to substances
in last #NJ 'cleanup' bill for #marijuana decrim/retail #cannabis big penalty change was trying to add back ability for courts/prosecutors to send under 21 y/o into drug treatment for small amounts of weed = a srsly bad policy
@boxbrown @GovMurphy We do not accept those goals as those are not the will of the people. Empower the individual. Corporate cooperation. Teenagers educated and risk reduction
Morning @GovMurphy ,hearing rumblings of some conditional vetoes potentially today for S21,A4952. Curious what exactly your looking for to pass?More specific language, detailed youth penalties?How about building a social system that reduces possibility of youth needing penalties
@Vallyygurl@News12NJ Which is an attitude that proper cannabis reform can begin to heal. For example ; my personal distrust results from an police interaction in high school involving cannabis. Imagine how these types of interactions affect a young person’s perception of authority
Today highlighted many reasons why we should legalize marijuana ASAP.
Read into this whatever you choose to.
We’re not financial advisors, we just like the stalks.
@NORML but @NORML the #stonks and #cannabis are part of the same revolution!people are tired of old,ineffective systems,and are demanding change through action.The people have remembered their power! Want #GME at 450,done.Want cannabis reform federally,organize effectively and it’s done
@nolongerbroken1@News12NJ Same. And the protection for patients is important. But as legalization advances, everyone who’s not a patient deserves same civil right of not being locked up or arrested for small possession/use of a cannabis. when it comes to minority youths and police..I don’t trust police
