Although New Jersey has legalized medical marijuana use since 2010, a recent executive order greatly expands the conditions for which individuals may apply for medical marijuana.  Previously, medical marijuana was approved to treat specified conditions, such as cancer, HIV/AIDs, and any terminal illness, among others.  Effective March 27, 2018, the New Jersey Department of Health has added five new categories of conditions that may be treated with medical marijuana.
