We are committed to increasing the monthly limit on the amount of product that can be purchased from two ounces to four ounces.
Patients in hospice care will have no limit.
We will support legislation that allows patients to register at more than one treatment center.
We will also support amending the law to allow the use of edibles for adults living with dexterity or other issues.
A big thank you to the @NJDeptofHealth and Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal.
Our administration will be guided by facts and science, not politics.
It has taken eight years, and a change of administrations, for that simple principle to be restored.
We will begin the elimination of the requirement that doctors prescribing medical marijuana appear on a public registry, and transition to an optional listing for prescribing physicians.
Beginning today, New Jersey will finally have a medical marijuana program that is compassionate, progressive, and patient-friendly.

fyi @JustinZarembaNJ @PaytonGuion @SenatorScutari @stevesweeneynj@GovMurphy best way to serve cannabis consumers + medical patients w home marijuana cultivation? = regulate cannabis laboratories w walk-up testing + list chemicals (or not) allowed in gardens. Done. smh.
pols looking for more funding for opiate treatment every day, but we have resources. In Philly we waste 20%+ of treatments on "marijuana" mainly b/c folks failing THC urine tests on supervision. #Treatment4Profit https://t.co/5vZDmo5dXb
.@AsburyParkPress asks: "NJ marijuana legalization: Is home grow too much, too soon with legal weed?" Our answer, @byMikeDavis: It is not too much! For people with limited mobility or economic means, limited home grow must be part of the final bill. https://t.co/WVqMr8WMOL
"I've traveled here from Boston to urge the regulatory agency promote the participation of people that have been disproportionately harmed by marijuana prohibition" @shaleentitle@MA_Cannabis#LegalizeItNJ
Dr. Malik Burnett with @drugpolicy: "It is incumbent on the state legislature to remedy past wrongs to the communities that have been harmed by criminalization." #LegalizeItNJ
Roseanne Scotti of @DrugPolicy_NJ: Views cannabis as a moral issue, "An arrest for marijuana possession has been the gateway to the criminal justice system."
Among proposals from @AmolSinha - allow home cultivation of limited amounts for personal use, especially for people with limited mobility, limited means #LegalizeItNJ#LetPatientsGrow
We need automatic expungement of marijuana arrests, equitable access to the legal marijuana market, home cultivation for personal use, and reinvestment in NJ's communities. -@AmolSinha#LegalizeItNJ
