There are five medical cannabis dispensaries in New Jersey, and three of them have had their business pages terminated by Facebook, stopping what activists call “an integral place” for a consumer to be updated on what strains would work best for respective conditions and where they could find lower prices for those strands. Compassionate Sciences in Bellmawr, Garden State in Woodbridge, and Breakwater Treatment and Wellness in Cranbury all had their pages terminated this week.
Apparently, they were shut down because Facebook’s policies specifically state that you cannot advertise drugs, tobacco, or guns. Also, the medical cannabis Facebook accounts were shut down even though they have been legally allowed to work in New Jersey since 2011. The shutdowns are similar to actions taken by big social media names in another part of the United States. In 2015, Facebook even took down the page for the Harborside Health Center, a dispensary in California, even though it is now back up.
“It’s doing a real disservice to the patients of New Jersey,” Peter Rosenfeld, a board member of the Coalition for Medical Marijuana – New Jersey, stated. “They’re treating it like they’re selling marijuana illegally when it’s a fully sanctioned nonprofit that’s controlled and regulated by the state of New Jersey.”
However, Arielle Aryah, a representative for Facebook, stated in an email Wednesday to The Associated Press that the accounts were “removed for violating our Community Standards.” Over 5,500 patients have signed up for the medical cannabis program, but only three hundred have actually participated. Amy Marie Keller, 40, of Roselle Park in northern New Jersey, reported that she used to check one of the dispensary’s pages all the time. Keller has Variegated Porphyria, a condition that does not allow her blood to take in much oxygen and can result in both chronic pain and seizures. According to her, knowing when the strands that helped her out were available was extremely important.

My Story . . . .
As a natural born skeptic, I spent countless time and energy researching all the available treatment options aside from what my oncologist recommended. I was DETERMINED to cure my cancer, and knew there was something out there after witnessing a number of people who not only survived, but thrived and went on to live fulfilling lives cancer-free. In addition to reading about Rick Simpson Oil, and watching the Run From the Cure video, I also spoke with people who had actually used the oil, and it was shocking to hear one after another how effective this medicine really was. I just couldn’t believe there was a cure out there and how wrong it was that this information is not being shared with the public!
Treatment Regimine:
I have a pretty big tolerance for marijuana, so I started off with a full grain of rice sized amount of oil instead of a half grain. I gradually increased the dosage every night until I reached a full gram each night. The standard protocol for Rick Simpson Oil is ingesting a total of 60 grams over the course of 2-3 months, but I had 70 grams in total for safe measure. I used the excess as a topical skin care treatment, attacking the visible brown spots on my face and neck.
3 months later, my cancer was in full remission. Within 4 months, I am cancer-free and officially received a clean bill of health from my doctors. What they don’t know is that the majority of my treatment was using the Rick Simpson Oil. I did use some of the medication they prescribed, but it was in combination with the oil.
I am elated I want to continue sharing with people who are experiencing what I went through that there is absolutely hope and a cure out there. They just need to be proactive and aggressive with treatment, not wait until it is too late. Get your medication at Phoenix Tears via Email: (phoenixtears44@gmail.com)
In addition to being an effective cancer fighter, there are some nice side effects that come from using the Rick Simpson oil, for instance, I no longer need to take any pain killers. Just one or two drops of the oil will ease the pain and help you sleep like a baby. Best of all, its natural . . . Thanks to all the staff at Amsterdam’s Garden who guided me throughout this journey. You guys are awesome!
