Marijuana legalization bills likely ‘dead’ as Sweeney rejects meeting with Murphy
Legislation that would legalize marijuana for recreational use in New Jersey appears to be dead — at least for now.
The Democrat-controlled Legislature no longer expects to vote this month on a package of three bills that would legalize cannabis for recreational use, expand the state’s medical marijuana program and create new ways to expunge old records of criminal charges, according to two legislative sources familiar with the discussions.
