NJWEEDMAN RELEASED FROM SLAMMER

After over a year in state prison, the NJWeedman, Ed Forchion, has been
released.

Forchion, who was sent to jail on a charge he was in possession of 25
pounds of marijuana, was released into the state's Intensive Supervision
Program, a form of probation.

Forchion has spent much of the last decade campaigning for the legalization
of marijuana.

He has run for Congress and Burlington County freeholder, getting thousands
of votes both times.

He has also lit up joints in courts, in congressional offices, and most
famously, in the State Senate chambers.

He has been the subject of newspaper and magazine articles locally,
nationally and internationally, and he has also written a book (as yet
unpublished) about his life as well as a series of comic books based on his
adventures as the "NJ Weedman."

Forchion told The Trentonian not to expect any of those exploits in his
immediate future, as the state will be keeping a closer eye on his behavior.
