Medical Marijuana Registration Starts Tomorrow in New Jersey

The state's first legal dispensary will open next month

New Jersey patients with doctors' recommendations to use marijuana to treat certain health conditions can register for identification cards beginning Thursday as the state prepares for its first legal dispensary to open next month.

"It's the first time the department will be interacting directly with potential patients and their caregivers," state Health Commissioner Mary O'Dowd told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
