The New Jersey Legislature approves a bill that would allow ill patients access to marijuana.
The legislature of US state of New Jersey has approved a bill to legalize medical use of marijuana following long discussion about abuse of the material.
The state would be the 14th that would allow patients with illnesses such as cancer to buy up to 2 ounces (57 grams) of marijuana a month at state-monitored dispensaries.
The bill was passed in both houses: 48-14 in the General Assembly and 25-13 in New Jersey's Senate.
Outgoing Democratic Governor Jon Corzine said he would sign the legislation and make it law before leaving his position next week.
The approval comes after years of lobbying by patients' rights groups and advocates for less restrictive drug laws.
Meanwhile, some lawmakers expressed concerns about abuses of marijuana.
Other US states that permit medical use of marijuana are Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. [/quote]

I think we will get pot doctors who will give out cards for stupid shit like they have in California. At least I hope we do.

Nope they tightened the bill so it's only given out to people with life debilitating illness. Some diseases they don't even support they just give it to people who are really sick. It's like chemo but fun.
Fuck. Well at least its a step in the right direction, and those people who truly need it will get some relief.
It's the same in New York too it's not that super exciting.

Yeah. It is a step in the right direction though.

WTF I didn't hear shit about new york what I miss?
And I totally agree that it's a great leap in the right direction. People at Norml seriously work hard for changing things
Now we just need to get people to realize its not just for the terminally ill, but that it can be used to treat other diseases such as insomnia,depression, etc. Marijuana is an amazing all-purpose drug.

Yup no one is going to argue with you here about that.
I'm actually doing a report on it right now lol. My parents found my rough draft on the counter and they were like wut.
I told my mom
"mom, do you know what historic event happened today?"
-"what?"
"nevermind"
-"tell me!"
"medical marijuana bill passed"
-"so?"
"idk"

needless to say she didn't care.
My tech teacher was talking about it with us.He was like they finally got some common sense and legalized it for medical use. He was talking to me and was like,"Yeah you can get up to 2 oz, which they say can roll like 240 joints or something assuming you roll them all the same size as your joints." I was like WHAT.
2 ounces = 56.5 grams
You can roll a blunt with as little as .5 grams and have a very decent high. That's 113 blunts. That's a little more than 3 blunts a day.
I don't know about joints, don't like them, but I guess it should be around the same.
It was just my tech teacher like acknowledging that I smoke and not giving a shit. Our class talked about smoking for the entire period. He knew all the slang and shit. I think he smokes =D

Finally, someone else who feels the same way. Everyone around here always puts up joints to be the crowning achievement of smoking pot. Fucking sucks IMO. Sloppy and out-of-date.
honestly I prefer blunts to joints. to me joints are a waste of weed.

is there a difference in the high between a joint and blunt? i'd find out if I could but i can't roll for shit
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;19605671]is there a difference in the high between a joint and blunt? i'd find out if I could but i can't roll for shit[/QUOTE]
Well, in general, a blunt will have more weed in it than a joint, so the high will be much stronger if you smoke a whole blunt as oppose to a whole joint.

You should be fucking happy to be healthy idiot.
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;19605671]is there a difference in the high between a joint and blunt? i'd find out if I could but i can't roll for shit[/QUOTE]
eh, kind of. the wrap for the blunt is tobacco and if you don't smoke tobacco you will get a buzz off of that. But I prefer blunts because they don't burn as fast or run as much as a joint.
Whoever said Medical Marijuana is legal in New York dosen't know what they're talking about. I live in upstate New York and trust me it's not legal, AT ALL. I hate my state.

It's heavily implied that he is joking and doesn't actually want a life-threatening illness.
joints give me the same has as a bowl does, but for blunts the high seems powerful and stronger. probably because the weed burns slow and the tobacco leaf is making you feel light headed

What about depression?

Sorry, but no way. Last time I read valid medical reasons I'm positive depression wasn't on the list.

Yeah but it's idiotic joke.
