New Jersey State Senate passes Medical Marijuana bill 22 to 16

I just watched via live web feed the New Jersey State Senate vote on and pass the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act. Senate bill S119 was passed by 22 yes to 16 no votes. If passed by the state Assembly this bill would allow for qualifying patients with written certification from a physician to apply for a registry identification card allowing them to use marijuana as a medicine.

You can view an archive of this historic session of the New Jersey Senate at http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/media/live_audio.asp discussion and voting on S119 begins at about 28:35 of the video.

The bill will now move to the New Jersey State Assembly for a vote.
