Legal weed is coming to New Jersey, and if all goes as planned, it will be delivered right to your door. After eight months of debate, Garden State legislators say that they are close to finalizing two bills, one to reorganize the state’s medical marijuana program, and another to legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older.
According to NJ.com, a group of state lawmakers has been working for the past few weeks to craft the comprehensive legalization bills, and are now only a “few minor tweaks” away from introducing the initiatives to the full legislature. The cannabis-focused working group hopes to convene a final state house vote and end prohibition by the end of September.
Since he took office in January, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has made cannabis reform a primary focus, already expanding the state’s medical market and pushing at every turn for legislative action on total legalization.
