NJ State Senate to Vote on Marijuana Regulations

New Jersey state senators are planning to vote Monday on a measure to start the process of nullifying Gov. Chris Christie's proposed regulations for medical marijuana.

The resolution would defy the first-term Republican governor.

Some Democratic lawmakers say Christie's regulations are so strict that patients who need marijuana to ease pain, nausea and other symptoms might not have access to it.

Christie says he wants to make sure the legal marijuana isn't used recreationally.

Among the issues are rules that would limit the potency of the legal pot and ban treatment centers that distribute it from offering delivery services.
