John Ray Wilson

A man with multiple sclerosis who was sentenced to prison for growing 17 marijuana plants at his Franklin township  home is now a free man.

Governor Chris Christie is not in favor of freeing John Ray Wilson, an MS patient who was caught growing pot in Somerset County. Wilson claims he was cultivating the stuff so he could smoke it and get relief from his painful autoimmune disease, but prosecutors still went after him, and a judge gave Wilson a 5 year jail sentence.

Tonight's Late Show lineup goes a little something like this. Never got to this one, and I’m dying to hear what you have to say about it. Do you feel that the “grow your own Pot-Guy” John Ray Wilson…the guy with MS from Somerset… should be granted clemency…...

If you remember, last night we talked about Chief Eric Mason of Cranford who was recorded in a phone conversation with his son saying he was having a good day because “he didn’t have to kill any white people”…and how it would have been received if the shoe were on the other foot...

Governor Christie has taken a strong position that instead of sending non-violent drug offenders to jail, they should be sent to a rehab facility for mandatory treatment, and he's recommending the state spend more than $2 million dollars to get the program up and running.

Leadoff spot…Schiano Skadoo…glad to see him go? Ethical questions: Should the Governor pardon the MS patient sentenced to 5 years for growing 17 pot plants? Also…Is it realistic to have a “bully free” town in NJ? Ridgefield is looking to be the first...

New Jersey medical marijuana advocates are decrying the state Supreme Court's decision not to hear the appeal of a multiple sclerosis patient who was busted for pot possession.
