The reality is that after years of delays and harsh over-regulation, NJ residents with serious illnesses and even state-issued marijuana ID cards continue to be arrested. Limited or no access is the issue.”

There is only one operational medical marijuana dispensary in New Jersey and it is not open on a regular basis.  The dispensary is GreenLeaf Compassion Center in Montclair, New Jersey.  Patients cannot grow marijuana so any card-caring patient who possesses pot not purchased from GreenLeaf Compassion Center is subject to criminal arrest.`
