[Excerpt]
Marijuana-legalization advocate Ed “njweedman” Forchion may be heading
back to jail.
On Thursday, a grand jury indicted the Pemberton Township resident for refusing to submit a DNA sample, which under a new state law is required of all state prisoners and parolees.
Forchion, who was convicted in October 2000 of possessing 40 pounds of marijuana, has challenged the constitutionality of the law in federal court. Since he was released from state prison in April 2002, Forchion believes it is an after-the-fact form of punishment that is also an illegal invasion of his privacy.
