Sen. Nick Scutari said, “The regulations are making it impossible to implement the medical marijuana statute that was signed into law.” He is talking about the bill he put in place that was signed into law making medical marijuana legalized in the state of NJ. The rules have become so strict that people think the program will fail. They also think it’s a ploy for Gov. Christie, who is against medical marijuana, to show that the program won’t work. Scutari says the overly restrictive rules that are being implemented are making the program unworkable.

He was tired of law enforcement looking for individuals who smoke marijuana versus looking for real criminals, such as the ones that carjacked him.
