4TH DISPENSARY CAN GROW POT

(AP) - New Jersey officials have given a fourth dispensary permission 
to start growing medical marijuana, so it could start offering it to 
patients in the spring.

The Health Department issued the permit Friday to Breakwater 
Alternative Treatment Center in Cranbury Township, Middlesex County.

New Jersey has had a law allowing medical marijuana for nearly five 
years, but drafting state regulations and opening dispensaries has 
been a slow process. The first one opened two years ago, and since 
then two others have joined.

New Jersey picked six nonprofit groups to cultivate and sell marijuana.

About 3,400 patients are registered with the program, and 364 
physicians across the state are enrolled so they can recommend 
marijuana to patients.
