Gov. Christie has said that he will not move forward with the implementation of New Jersey's medical marijuana program until he gets an okay from the feds that no state employee will ever be prosecuted for involvement with medical marijuana. Those familiar with the Department of Justice say no assurances will be forthcoming, even though the feds (at least under this administration) are unlikely to do anything about it. Advocates are reluctantly considering suing Christie so he will move his fat ass and get this program implemented and some sick people will have some relief.

And hooray! Today Christie announced that, despite not having blanket promises from the feds, med growers can start 'em up. (CBS)
