Editorial: Gov. Christie should heed father's plea for medical marijuana for young patients
By The Times of Trenton (NJ)

The father of a toddler who suffers dozens of seizures a day for lack of the medication that could help her met with the one man in a position to help his daughter.
Brian Wilson consulted not with a doctor but Gov. Chris Christie, whom he cornered at a diner during one of the governors re-election campaign stops.
In that face-to-face and emotional meeting, Wilson asked Christie to sign legislation removing roadblocks for children benefit from medical marijuana.
Please dont let my daughter die, governor, Wilson said after Christie promised a decision by today saying that he would do what he thinks is best for the people of the state.

So, after the state legislature rewrites the bill and passes it he said he will sign it.
