New Jersey might become the next state to legalize medical marijuana, if Montel Williams has anything to do with it.

The talk-show host is scheduled to speak soon at a hearing on the pain-killing herb in Trenton, and he's already been honored by the D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project. The former Marine, who has multiple sclerosis, will also be on hand Monday at Capitale in NYC for the group's gala emceed by Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling and hosted by Susan Sarandon and Mary-Louise Parker.

The most surprising face in the long-haired crowd might be Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau, a medical marijuana supporter.
