Trenton – The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on Friday to discuss issues related to the state’s implementation of the recreational cannabis law, Senator Brian Stack and Senate President Nick Scutari announced today.
The hearing will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 23, 2023 in Committee Room 4 of the State House Annex.
“New Jersey legalized recreational cannabis over two years ago, but the state still suffers from a lack of retail dispensaries, a lack of product variety, and high cannabis prices, which often force consumers to the black and gray markets,” said Senator Stack, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “We have also been concerned with the lack of diversity in the cannabis marketplace, especially in the retail space.”
The committee will take testimony from cannabis industry representatives, experts, and social justice groups, and the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission, which is responsible for overseeing the state’s cannabis marketplace.
