Last Monday, New Jersey inched one step closer to a major medical marijuana makeover. According to NJ.com, the proposed overhaul would make it easier for people in need — and of all ages — to qualify for medical cannabis.
The Trump administration’s stance, as directed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, came even as cannabis advocates made inroads across several states. New Jersey is widely expected to legalize cannabis for adult use by the end of the year. State lawmakers in Pennsylvania and New York have kicked off efforts to put recreational use on the books as well. In Connecticut, a recreational use bill made it out of committee for the first time in April.
