Here we are over a year later and no closer to getting this done. The Repuglican dictators have proven time and time again that they are no closer to being caring, compassionate conservatives than Sara Palin is capable of being this country's President.
 
Govenor Christy has really put the brakes on here in NJ!! SO disturbing! I have an appointment with a shrink that prescribes it, hopefully my PTSD and Chronic pain will make me eligible. Then the trick is getting into the dispensary, I hear there is a 3 month wait!! :rollingeyes:
I'll let you all know how things go. OH, and BTW, it is now 4 years past the legal date, ridiculous!
Wish me luck!?
