The Murphy administration expanded the program this spring to add five new qualifying medical conditions: anxiety, migraines, Tourette syndrome, chronic pain related to musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic pain of visceral origin. Approximately 7,000 patients with these medical conditions are already participating in the program.<\/p>\n<p>Patients can choose from more than 100 different strains available at six dispensaries in Montclair, Woodbridge, Cranbury, Bellmawr, Egg Harbor Township, and Secaucus. Three Alternative Treatment Centers have requested satellite locations.<\/p>\n<p>During the 40-minute lecture, Dr. Elnahal will discuss various medical conditions that are appropriate for treatment with medicinal marijuana as well as the various forms of medicinal marijuana available at New Jersey\u2019s Alternative Treatment Centers.<\/p>\n<p>He will also provide an overview of New Jersey\u2019s Medicinal Marijuana Program and the reforms that have been made under the Murphy administration. In addition to the five new qualifying medical conditions, registration fees have been reduced for patients and caregivers, dispensaries are adding satellite locations, and mobile access is available so patients, caregivers, and physicians can register, make payments, and upload documents on their smart phones and tablets.<\/p>\n<p>This Grand Rounds lecture is open to medical students, residents, fellows, faculty, and other clinicians.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Grand Rounds: &#8220;Giving the Green Light to Medicinal Marijuana&#8221;<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Presented by: Shereef M.
