Lagana, Stack back marijuana decriminalization
State Sens. Joe Lagana and Brian Stack will back marijuana decriminalization.
According to a New Jersey Globe tally, that brings the number of state senators who opposed legalization but are backing decriminalization up to nine.
State Sens. Declan O’Scanlon, Robert Singer, Ronald Rice, Linda Greenstein and former Governor Dick Codey are also backing the measure, which Democrats are seeking as a stop gap while they await a vote on a 2020 legalization ballot measure.
