“It's not a 'war on (some) drugs' it's a war on minorities to replace outlawed slave labor with prison labor. Alcohol is in fact the most dangerous drug on the planet, because no other drug turns its user into a fat, stumbling, belligerent moron but alcohol. All these outlawed naturally growing drugs are far, far safer than alcohol, and the US government has been brainwashing the public for nearly 100 years so they could create a market they themselves have a monopoly on: prison.

"And so what was the genesis for the early state marijuana laws in the Rocky Mountain and southwestern areas of this country? It wasn't hostility to the drug, it was hostility to the newly arrived Mexican community that used it."”

“Why is it that these conservative types who want less government are always the ones, once they are in government, to cram their restrictions down everyone's throats, insisting they know what is best for all of us? It makes me sick. Oh, wait, I already am sick... I have inflammatory bowel disease, so I would qualify for medical marijuana if PA ever makes the proposed bill a law. I'm not holding my breath. I sure hope PA lawmakers have more sense than NJ lawmakers, but it's not likely.”

“There is soo much I want to say..but to keep it short.. I'm tired of hearing the whining from Christies office.."Do it right, or do it now" what is that? That excuse is no longer acceptable. "We don't know how to do it right.." The Law has been passed..the time has expired. I would like to delay my next seizure until thier earliest convenience, but I can not. How hard is it? Accept the help offered, the resources are vast and available. And here's the kicker..no matter what you do..you will NEVER have to recall it because it accidentally killed someone.
It is ALL about the money not the "right or wrong way to grow and distribute" it's how do we keep all the money for ourselves. How can we best capitalize on the opportunity. Like they care whether or not people are in pain, or withering away from meds eating up thier insides or side effects that take you completely out of the game, or maybe having a seizure and losing everything..”

“Chris Christie, a vicious little tool and toady of the Feds.”

“I think it is a viable means to help people that are ailing. Chris Christie is not the enemy... responsibility is what slows down the wheels when it comes to introducing a social change to New Jersey. N.J. is not California or Arizona... We will have Medical Marijuana, and it will be done in an effective manner. Stay positive...”

“NJ is still waiting for regulations from the state. As you already know, the DHSS has asked for a 90day extension which was granted by amendment to the bill. No doubt you have heard the latest plan from the Christie Admin. which would call for the cultivation and distribution of cannabis to be controlled by the state. Gov. Christies plan is to use the State University at Rutgers for cultivation and University Hospital for distribution. Clearly, this delay is an example of the arrogance of one man asserting his will and personal values on the voters of NJ. We will continue to be vigilent and vocal. At this juncture all we can do is speculate as to what these cretins have in mind. In either event, we know going forward it will be a struggle, with the sick and dying still not allowed access to this most useful medicine.
This is clearly a move to keep the bill from ever seeing the light of day. He and his cronies are compassion-less. Meanwhile, the sickest continue to suffer, go figure?”

“I fully expect that when Octobers deadline nears the Governor will chuckle, his belly will jiggle with delight as he requests another delay in the laws implementation because in his words we are being stonewalled by federal regulations and he simply needs more time so that a secure system can be invented...Also the sponsors of this legislation Gusciora and Scutari who never really took their bill that seriously have effectively thrown in the towel because they are afraid of the Governor and dont really want to get him mad with their pestery little bill. As the Governor said at his first meeting with advocates and the public - Cant we slow this down! Well Governor you did it, congratulations to you.”
