New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a piece of medical marijuana legislation yesterday making treatment slightly more accessible to children meeting specific requirements. The law not only removes the limit on number of strains of cannabis to be cultivated by growers, but it affords children the ability under certain restrictions to digest edible marijuana products.

Governor Christie initially vetoed the bill upon its passing across his desk on the grounds that “at least two physicians — a pediatrician and a psychiatrist — sign off on a child’s marijuana use” and a three-strain limit on the types of marijuana grown, according to NJ.com. The Governor, however, opted to keep his two-physician-approval while expunging the three-strain limit.

Edible marijuana–which comes in the form of tablets, capsules, baked goods, and beverages–can now only be obtained by minors with dual approval and parental supervision.

As per CNN, the bill passed with a 70-1-4 vote and will be enacted soon into law.

Governor Christie was quoted saying that his only fear is going “down the slippery slope of broadening a program and making it easier to get marijuana that wouldn’t necessarily go to other people.”

Medical marijuana and widespread legalization, once a popular topic among the far left and patchouli-scented hippies during burn runs, is now a national item becoming recreationally legal at the state in Washington and Colorado. Recently Attorney General of the United State Eric Holder made it abundantly clear that the Department of Justice will now enforce the regulation of marijuana in those states rather than the users, essentially ceasing federal crackdowns on tokers in those particular states.

The new law was originally proposed by Union City parents of a two-year old with “Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy for which anti-seizure medicine is ineffective, according to Democrats’ statement this week.” Medical marijuana has been proven to help temper some epileptic symptoms in some people.
