In New Jersey, it is still a major crime for a legal medical cannabis patient to grow a few plants. But I want to thank state Sens. Troy Singleton, D-Burlington, and Vin Gopal, D-Monmouth; and Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, D-Mercer; for sponsoring legislation to change this situation.
Senate Bill 3420 and its Assembly companion, A-5363, would allow New Jersey’s medical cannabis patients to grow a small number of plants to help supplement their needs. The limits would be four mature plants and four immature ones per medical patient.
