New Jersey will become one of a small batch of East Coast states to legalize medical use of marijuana. The measure has made it through both state houses of legislature and awaits Gov. Corzine's signature. Just nine months from now patients who suffer from chronic illnesses like AIDS, Lou Gehrig's disease, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis will be able to get their hands on the green stuff at one of six locations, says the Times. According to the NY Post, ID cards will be handed out to patients with "debilitating medical conditions." The cards can be used to collect marijuana and to ward off suspicious cops. And though they call it the Garden State there won't be any home growing or toking up in public; New Jersey's medical marijuana practices are set to be some of the most stringent in the nation.

I see how it is. The first and only time I can think of in Gothamist history where the article is solely about New Jersey and commenters aren't here bashing the hell of the state.
It says a little something about the people who are usually here bashing New Jersey.
Uh. You're the first commenter, moron. Fuck New JErsey and their stringent rules, and their bashing of California. Californie, TODAY, will begin proceeding to fully LEGALIZE mj. Take that, douchey NJers.
heywoodjablowme?
Maybe because this one of the rare times that NJ has done the right thing (well mostly, the law is quite limited and restrictive), and before NY. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'm sure there will be something worthy of bashing New Jersey about tomorrow.
But for today, New Jersey is showing a little compassion. (Hopefully the judge will take this into consideration in that horrible case of the MS patient who was convicted last month).
I like how you are trying to legitimize your obnoxious, small minded provincialism as if it were based in reality & fact; not just your nauseating false sense of superiority.
NJ could pass gay marriage, Medical Marijuana, find the answer to world peace & you would still be a provincial NY'er who dislikes their neighbor across the Hudson.
People from NY with personality & self esteem deficiencies will always use their zip code as a crutch.
If you are going to be an asshole............ Be an asshole. Don't try & justify it though.
We could go back to bashing "Jersey Shore".
Go ahead, they're all from NY anyway.
haha: So true... nice one.
ooops! facebook user did a faceplant. NICE
Ah, SP again throwing out the cheap insults. You're so charming, Simon.
This post was up for almost an hour and not one slight against NJ, and instead 15+ likes. But thank goodness that Gothamist record was crushed and we were all enlightened by your thought-provoking comment.
You asked for it.
And do I know you? How do you know my name?
Nope. I just have a good memory. You might too if it weren't for all the weed.
That's creepy as shit, dude.
seriously. stalker alert!
*hits the bong*
what were we talking about again?
If you really must know. SP was an ass to me in the past. I responded by asking if his user name stood for "Small Penis". He responded by giving me (and every other Gothamist commenter) his real name, first and last.
I tend to file away this type of information for the next time "Small Penis" calls me a moron or something equally as trollish.
Why do the seagulls fly upside down in NJ?
They can't find anything worth crapping on.
What do you get when you cross a Jersey guy and a monkey?
A retarded monkey.
What's the difference between a Jersey girl and a comb?
The comb has teeth.
What do you call a smart guy in Bayonne?
Lost.
More please!

Like there are no stereotypes about New Yorkers! (mostofwhicharetrue)
you've really outdone yourself there. bravo!
Haha! Classic!
ha! Your post says more about you than it does about NJ, but as long as it makes you feel good about yourself, then bravo.
LOL! I have a fan club! I do remember this now, thanks for reminding me. Wow. You are a resentful little bitch aren't you? Jeez. That's not really something to be proud of. You Morbidly Idiotic Hateful Orgasm-less Whore.
No, Simon. Not proud. Just a human being. And, sadly, other than possibly being a bitch every now and again? There's nothing remotely true about anything else you've called me. However, I do think I was onto something regarding the whole small penis thing. ;]
I bet you're also very good at the "I know you are but what am I defense," Middle-aged Incontinent Hairy Obnoxious Woman.
More air pollution, NJ?
Naw, naw, good for you.
THAT'S all you got?
HA.
Hey don't fault mordical, he thinks a walk in central park in being in the wilderness.
i may move to nj--pavonia/jersey city is pretty close.
and my reason would be: "permanent chronic debilitation caused by being stuck in new york over 20 years."
right now, i'm learning to fake "AIDS, Lou Gehrig's disease, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis."
AIDS is a hard one.
I love NJ!!
Now get your asses 2gether on the Gay Marriage bill and be truly progressive.
I hear Discovery Health will be doing their own version of Jersey Shore, "featuring hot guidos and guidettes dealing with their debilitating medical conditions".
they'll probably cast new yorkers for that one too.
Ohhhh my neck. Ohhhh my back. Ohhh my neck and my back! This is good news for NJ, but if the dispensaries charge as much as the ones in Los Angeles do, you might as well just keep your current connect.
