Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration is walking back its public plans for expanding New Jersey’s medical marijuana program after fielding concerns from state legislative leaders, a senior administration official said Tuesday.
“The medical announcement is on hold based on our conversations with the Legislature. We determined at the time being, we’re going to work on passing this legislatively,” the official told POLITICO. “That’s not to say at a later juncture we’ll not increase supply rapidly … [but] right now, we’re on hold. We’re all in on the legislative strategy.”
