Marijuana as Medicine in New Jersey
Show #1501

Due Process takes an in-depth look at the law that made New Jersey the 14th state in the nation to allow the use of medical marijuana. In Sandy King's opening mini-documentary, we meet an ALS sufferer who helped lead the fight for medicinal pot - and we're in the State House for the critical vote and the compromises that made it possible. In Raymond Brown's studio discussion, we explore how the new law is supposed to work - and the strict controls designed to keep New Jersey from becoming another California, where medical marijuana has meant de facto legalized pot for recreational, as well as medicinal use.

Studio Guests: Powell Stevenson of The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey and Roseanne Scotti, the Executive Director of the New Jersey Drug Policy Alliance.
