CMMNJ blog:
CMMNJ BlogspotCMMNJ, a 501(c)(3) public charity, is a non-profit educational organization.
CMMNJ’s current medical cannabis goals include home cultivation rights; insurance coverage; and hospital & institutional access.
Home Cultivation: Allow registered New Jersey patients to grow a few plants each for cost savings and consistent supply, with minimal impact on the legal industry. Visit the website and sign the petition at Let Patients Grow NJ #JeffsLaw. Home cultivation bills for the 2024 - 2025 legislative session:
S1393/A846: Authorizes home cultivation of medical cannabis.
A414: Legalizes possession of six marijuana plants for personal use.
S1985: Legalizes six plants for personal use and 10 plants for medical.
Insurance Coverage for Medical Cannabis:
Insurance coverage for medical cannabis will reduce healthcare costs. Cannabis stabilizes multiple conditions in individuals, requiring fewer medical interventions. Insurance coverage will save money and produce a healthier New Jersey.
Medical Cannabis Insurance bills for the 2024 - 2025 legislative session:
S1944: Costs of medical cannabis to be reimbursed by Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund, PAAD, Senior Gold and VCCO.
S1943: Requires workers’ compensation, PIP, and health insurance coverage.
A898: Subsidize medical cannabis in Medicaid or NJ Family Care.
Hospital and Institutional Access:
New Jersey patients who are in hospitals, nursing homes, state institutions, group homes and hospice are unable to access medical cannabis even though they need it, qualify for it, and are entitled to it. Patient outcomes would improve, and health care costs would be reduced if these patients had access to medical cannabis. Implement the Jake Honig law’s Institutional Caregivers!
