TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A state judge is set to hear arguments from medical marijuana advocates who say the courts should take over New Jersey's slow-developing program.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in a lawsuit that was filed last year arguing that the state government was working against the program.
Since the suit was filed, the first of six proposed alternative treatment centers has opened in Montclair.
Lawyers for the state say regulators have done their jobs, but the groups in charge of getting pot to patients have struggled to find sites.
