Rutgers just says no to pot growing for NJ TRENTON, N.J. -- Rutgers University will not be getting into the marijuana-growing business. New Jersey's largest university has declined a request from Gov. Chris Christie to become the only grower of the state's medical marijuana crop. The university issued a statement Friday saying marijuana's status as an illegal drug would jeopardize millions in federal funding to the school. The state's legislature approved a plan to allow patients with certain chronic illnesses to access marijuana. Christie suggested the marijuana be grown by Rutgers and distributed by the state's teaching hospitals. Implementation of the law has been delayed until January to give state health officials time to work out details This will give prohibitionist Governor Christie another chance to delay the law going into effect,watch and see.
Why would it delay the law going into effect? This was suppose to be the delay. He's quickly running out of options.
