Bill would allow legalized marijuana, but only if voters give their blessing
A bipartisan bill introduced this week would allow for possession of small amounts of marijuana — but only if voters approve a referendum on legalization.
Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen) proposed the bill, NJ A5138, which would ask voters whether they want to legalize recreational marijuana and possession of up to one ounce.
Schepisi, who introduced the bill on Monday, is not an advocate for legalization. In fact, she said, if the question ever gets onto the ballot, she would probably vote against.
