The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the largest union for workers in the public service endorsed medical marijuana at its recent national convention in Chicago. AFSCME represents a diverse group of service and health care workers in the public and private sectors including nurses, EMTs, bus drivers, child care providers, custodians and librarians. CMM-NJ is thrilled to have AFSCME join the coalition of organizations that support medical marijuana. Access to medical marijuana is supported by the New Jersey State Nurses Association (110,000 RNs), the American Nurses Association (2.7 million RNs), the American Academy of Family Physicians (94,000 members), and the American Public Health Association (50,000 members), among other groups. Access to medical marijuana also represents the opinion of 86% of New Jersey voters according to the latest poll http://www.drugpolicy.org/docUploads/NJMedMJPoll060806.pdf
