Montel Pushes Marijuana in New Jersey

June 07, 2006


Television personality Montel Williams plans to tell Garden State lawmakers tomorrow how marijuana relieves the chronic pain he feels due to multiple sclerosis.

New Jersey lawmakers are considering becoming the 12th state to legalize marijuana if prescribed by a doctor.

Williams, 49, was diagnosed with MS seven years ago and turned to marijuana to relieve debilitating knee and foot pain after trying Oxycontin and a variety of other drugs.

Unfortunately there is opposition from county-level law enforcement officials who see the compassionate legislation as a “veiled attempt to legalize drugs.” But governor John Corzine promises to sign the law when it passes.
