Cannabis businesses are chomping at the bit in anticipation that New Jersey could be the next state to legalize recreational marijuana, an MJ trade association official said.
State lawmakers advanced a bill to the full Legislature for a vote, which could take place before year-end.
“A lot of people have been doing the groundwork, making relationships (and) forming teams since this last summer,” said Scott Rudder, president of the New Jersey CannaBusiness Association.
He added that he’s seen everyone from mom-and-pops to multistate operators gearing up for the market.
