Corzine Will "Absolutely" Sign Medical Marijuana Bill

Will smoking weed soon be legal (for medicinal purposes only, of course) in the Garden State? New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine sure hopes so and he isn't alone. On Monday the New Jersey State Senate passed the "New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act" by a 22-16 vote. The bill proposed by Sen. Nicholas Scutari (D-Union) would permit terminally and chronically ill patients to get permission to grow, possess and smoke weed. In total patients could possess up to six plants and one ounce of weed, according to the bill.
