Nat'l GOP: Gov. Christie Wrong on Medical Marijuana

The American Conservative on our law, currently in limbo:

The law as enacted - and signed by former Gov. Jon Corzine in January - is already the toughest among the medical marijuana laws passed by 13 other states in recent years. Christie's heavy-handed modifications are most definitely a reflection of his aversion to it from the start. He already sought to delay the program's implementation for a year. This might sound like minutes to Washington bureaucrats, but for a patient wasting away from AIDS or suffering from chemo-inducing nausea, it could very well be a lifetime.

This might be the future - citizens work hard to change things democratically, in this case, marijuana reform, and politicians and institutions that don't like it, get their revenge in the rule-making process, which is not so democratic. Nor very liberty-loving.
