Drug will be dispensed at 6 centers, no home delivery
An agreement has been reached on state regulations for medicinal marijuana that will attempt to ensure the program will have adequate safety and security controls, Gov. Chris Christie announced Friday.
The agreement was worked out between the Republican governor, state health officials, and Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer), the sponsor of the medicinal marijuana legislation.
The key changes in the regulations as a result of the bi-partisan agreement are:
Six Alternative Treatment Centers — two each in the north, central and southern regions of the state, will be permitted and each will be able to both dispense and grow medicinal marijuana.
Home delivery and satellite locations for the Alternative Treatment Centers will no longer be allowed.
