The measure, passed on the final day of the legislative session, would allow patients diagnosed with severe illnesses like cancer, AIDS, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis to have access to marijuana distributed through state-monitored dispensaries.

Gov. Jon S. Corzine has said he would sign it into law before leaving office next Tuesday.

Obama, Gov. Corzine and the communist democrats want America’s youth to smoke drugs and collect welfare and rely on government for their food stamps, section 8 house and welfare money. The USA is going to go to trash because of these corrupt sick politicians. May HKBH save us from these sick sick communist corruptors.

China is rejoicing at this drug induced American sickness. Soon the Communist Chinese will be buying all the American businesses and real estate with their trillions of dollars and the drug induced American workers will be their minimum wage slaves. The democrat party of sickness has triumphed.
