This is the kind of attacks on any ganja consumer not specifically protected by SB 94 that we can expect if Senate Bill 94 is permitted to move forward. Delaware has a functioning affirmative medical necessity defense that SB 94 will gut. Patients not on SB 94’s short list should expect the mistreatment we see in this New Jersey case if it passes.
Sen. Lesniak observed, "Without compassion and a sense of moral right and wrong, laws are worth less than the paper they're printed on."
From the judge's pretrial rulings in this case, I gather that New Jersey does not recognize a "medical necessity" defense against drug charges, which can be used even in states that do not explicitly allow medical use of cannabis.
