Remember this was not in the original medical bill for jersey. It was an amended by Chris Christie along with the 3 strain limit(So that leaves us with if your lucky at least 1 Sativa, 1 Indica, and 1 CBD rich strain; remember thats if your lucky sadly its typically 1 100% Indica, 1 Indica-dominant hybrid, and a Sativa-dominant or 100% if lucky). No MEDibles &/or tinctures (later changed to only for children after major backlash from press), no concentrates. He also assigned the head position to someone with what kind of work experience? You guessed it; law enforcement not someone from say a medical background or any profession that doesn't engrain its employees to look at marijuana and its users as drug users and fiends and not patients or those who favor it to alcohol or a long day.
He put all these restrictions/hurdles in play to discourage entrepreneurs(backers)/true activists from joining the movement/industry that comes with medical marijuana. He wants people to stick with street bud that can go for cheaper and probably its no less than 12% if its anything decent. His requirements for getting a license are so complicated and requires more security(8cameras, remote monitoring, full time security guard, etc). He also requires children to get a prescription from no less than 3 doctors, not forgetting the fact there are less than 500 doctors statewide participating. He just wants to keep that staunch image of a man of the people who cares about your kids and the evils of drugs when the truth stares him in the face. Fuck career politicians. They'd be tried and hung for treason in a perfect world.
