S 3332 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "University Hospital Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act"; makes appropriation.

S 3332 establishes a five-year "University Hospital Medical Cannabis Pilot Program" at University Hospital in New Jersey to provide medical cannabis treatment to eligible patients (residents registered with the Cannabis Regulatory Commission for conditions like cancer). The program requires University Hospital to create a dedicated research and treatment area, form an advisory council with patients and advocates, partner with academic/research institutions, integrate telehealth services, and provide innovative delivery methods (e.g., patches, inhalers). It mandates annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on program effectiveness, patient outcomes, and recommendations for continuation, with funding provided from the General Fund. The pilot aims to evaluate medical cannabis efficacy, reduce stigma, and inform future healthcare policy through clinical research and community outreach.
