Children's access is currently much more greatly restricted. Other states with medical cannabis programs allow equal access with very positive results. Demonstrating the need for cannabis treatments for children, there has been an increasing amount of media coverage about children with a severe, rare form of epilepsy reducing their seizures through the use of the liquid, non-psychoactive form of medical marijuana. This begins to make Gov. Chris Christie look like a laughing Cossack skewering babies for refusing to sign the bill. Governor, please sign this bill.
