Marijuana Legislation Now On the Table in New Jersey
Spread the love
New Jersey is plainly excited about the prospects of offering legalized marijuana to the state and visitors. New Jersey marijuana legislation was introduced today to legalize adult-use cannabis and Phil Murphy will follow-through on all of his marijuana promises to the voters.
He would likely sign off on nearly any legislation that legalizes recreational marijuana in New Jersey unless it is not liberal enough. New Jersey could make a lot of money from the sale of marijuana. New Yorkers would be more than happy to take the short drive down to its southern cousin to buy legal marijuana.
New Jersey lawmakers kicked off the new session by again introducing legislation to legalize marijuana.
Democratic state Sen. Nicholas Scutari introduced the measure allowing the recreational use of marijuana on Tuesday, the same day the new session of the Democrat-led Legislature convened.
Incoming Democratic governor Phil Murphy campaigned on legalizing marijuana. GOP Gov. Chris Christie is a vocal opponent.
