State Senate votes today on bill to legalize medical marijuana

TRENTON – The state Senate is scheduled to vote today on a bill that would decriminalize marijuana use for some medical purposes in New Jersey, and one of the bill’s sponsors said he was taken aback by residents’ reactions to the proposal.

“I’ve been pleasantly surprised that the overwhelming response has been positive,” said state Sen. Jim Whelan, D-Atlantic, who is sponsoring the measure with Sen. Nicholas Scutiari, D-Union, Somerset Middlesex.
