Ed Forchion

Ed Forchion aka NJ Weedman says the charges are frivolous — and the American Civil Liberties Union says he's right.

Weedman's appeal of his 2010 conviction on marijuana possession could come before the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Fifteen years ago I said I was never going to take a plea. Since then I've beaten the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office twice. And now Mercer County has lined up for their ass whoopin'."

TRENTON — Perhaps not surprisingly, a business run by a guy who calls himself "Weedman" was found full of weed, authorities say. The high-profile raid Wednesday of the well-known marijuana activist's restaurant resulted in the arrest of 11 people, including NJ Weedman himself, and the seizure of about $19,000 in marijuana, officials said Thursday...

Trenton police also shut down the restaurant in March, which resulted in Weedman filing a federal lawsuit.

Forchion probably knows Christie will not be partoking in public any time soon.

t's fair to call pro-pot activist Ed Forchion a friend of New Jersey 101.5 — he's a regular caller to multiple shows and has been for years. But Ed recently got mad at his longtime friend.

Ed Forchion, also known as NJ Weedman, called Jim Gearhart this morning to discuss the rally he had last Sunday in support of Senator Nicholas Scutari's marijuana bill.

The debate rages on over whether or not to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana vs. an out and out legalization of the sale and use of recreational pot - along the lines of what is allowed in Colorado. Either way, we seem to be heading toward the day when lighting up a “j” in public will not get you a visit to the police station...

Ed Forchion, better known as NJ Weedman, sent a press release over to Jim Gearhart this morning where he discusses his current court case, as well as running for office here in NJ.
