EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
Many people are not yet familiar with the real benefits of marijuana as medicine. Some of the populace still considers it just a way to “legally get high” while medical schools rarely, if at all, teach future doctors about medical marijuana. However, scientific research in recent years has begun to demonstrate the value of marijuana as medicine. Credible groundbreaking studies show positive results in the treatment of multiple medical conditions, such as Epilepsy, Cancer, AIDS, Arthritis, pain, and more.

Employers Can’t Discriminate Against Medical Marijuana Use, NJ Court Rules
The Supreme Court of New Jersey ruled this week that an employer cannot fire an employee for using medical marijuana outside of the workplace. The case centers around a funeral home employee who was prescribed marijuana to treat cancer in 2015. After a car accident for which the employee was not at fault, the funeral home demanded a drug test and fired him for testing positive. The court ruled that this was in violation of the Laws Against Discrimination. These results only apply in New Jersey but set an important legal precedent.
