Rutgers University turns down Governor Christie’s proposal for producing Medical Marijuana
Jul 26, 2010 Online Issue
Governor Chris Christie recently sent a request to the states largest university, Rutgers, requesting the facility to become exclusive to the
state’s medical marijuana corp. Christie suggested University grow the substance and be distributed by the state’s teaching hospitals. Even though the state legislature has approved a plan allowing patients with specific chronic illnesses to access the drug, Rutgers has denied his request stating, marijuana is still an illegal drug and would jeopardize millions of dollars in federal funding to the school.
The new law has not yet been implemented and has been delayed until January so state health officials can work out all the details.
