While our governor may be a complete anti-pot zealot, it seems our elected representatives have a more forward thinking approach toward marijuana, both medical and in general.
Currently that page just lists the bills sponsors, people who I am glad are standing up for us.
Now is the time people, pick up a phone and get closer to not worrying about that eight in your pocket making you a "criminal".!
:weed-sign:
when the bill is posted, it will be listed here--->recently "Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D) of the 15th District of the New Jersey State Legislature, and Michael Patrick Carroll (R) of the 25th District, are the Primary Sponsors for Assembly Bill 4252,the first of its kind, to decriminalize aspects of the Controlled Dangerous Substances Act. " This bill has not yet been posted online, but the title of the bill is to "Decriminalize possesion of 15 grams or less" of pot. This is an incredible step foward from a state that currently has some pretty tough laws for pot. I personally know people who have been arrested for a half a fucking joint. This causes chaos in the lives of otherwise law abiding citizens. The current laws have a punishment of up to $1,000 fine and 6 months in jail for a first offense, whether you have a half a gram or two ounces, in addition to loss of driver's liscenses.
This is a law that needs to be changed, and once again, our assembly members are trying to lead the way. These people are on our side! we must take advantage of this, and hit these listed people with calls to thanks them for actually trying to change this fucked up state. Numbers are listed below for all current sponsors.
