4. New Jersey will be next state to legalize recreational marijuana.
"New Jersey is most likely going to legalize adult-use cannabis, becoming the second state after Vermont to do so through legislative means, and the first state through legislative means to create a retail market for it," predicts Joe Lusardi, President & CEO of Curaleaf. Indeed the New Jersey legislature is closer to passing marijuana legalization bill, S-2703, which would make it legal to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and consume it at home or in specifically designated areas.
