Finally, the Legislature has produced a bill to legalize recreational use of marijuana in New Jersey, a move with solid support from the governor and the public.
Sadly, it is a complete dud, a sloppy piece of work that does almost nothing to repair the damage done by this misguided war on weed, to make amends for the undeniable racial bias of police and courts in the ban's enforcement.
This wreck needs to be hauled back to the garage for an overhaul. The danger now is that the Legislature might rush to get it done during this session, which ends in two weeks. That would freeze this injustice in place, as if it never happened.
