A couple of important votes in the mid-term election haven’t received a lot of attention on the East Coast, but they may point the way to where New Jersey is headed in the near future.
On Nov. 6, voters in three states approved marijuana legalization: Utah and Missouri voters approved legalization of medical marijuana, while Michigan became the first Midwestern state to legalize the recreational variety.
New Jersey is considering both issues right now, and what it decides could have an impact on workplaces throughout the state.
Though medical marijuana has been legal in New Jersey for some time, the Christie administration kept tight controls on distribution. The Murphy administration’s goal is not only to increase access to medical marijuana but to legalize recreational use as well.
