Medical Marijuana Doctor Raises Concerns about Montclair Dispensary

Montclair's Greenleaf Compassion Center, the only medicinal marijuana dispensary currently operating in New Jersey, is the target of questions by a Rutherford doctor, according to a published report.

Dr. Anthony Anzalone, registered to recommend medical marijuana since 2012, is sharing his concerns regarding months-long delays in getting appointments for patients and over what he considers a lack of medical oversight at Greenleaf.

Anzalone applied to join the center's medical board of directors and offered to make weekly visits to offer input but was "used by the center as a physician to direct patients toward," the article said, adding that Greenleaf officials did not comment.

Of the approximately 1,000 patients registered in the state's medical program, 127 have received medication so far, according to the New Jersey Department of Health.
