This is directly from the state of New Jersey medical marijuana “checklist for Physicians” 1. Certify that patient has a qualifying medical condition for medicinal marijuana, 2. Select a 30, 60, or 90 day effective period. This time frame determines how many days a patient may purchase medical marijuana before being reevaluated. Upon expiration of the selected timeframe, you must re-assess the patient’s condition and determine whether to continue their use of medicinal marijuana for an additional 30, 60, or 90 day period.

If your local liquor stores sales a handle of Jack to a 20 year old, are they doing any harm? Most likely not, but if they get caught they are in violation of the terms they agreed to when they obtained their liquor license. With enough repeated violations, they could lose their license and no longer be able to sell alcohol. Not much different than the “good doctor” in New Jersey.
