The state Legislature today is scheduled to make a decision on marijuana legalization, with the landmark bill to legalize, tax and regulate weed scheduled for votes in the Senate and Assembly.
Either the legal weed bill will go up for a vote, putting New Jersey on track to legalize marijuana as soon as the coming days.
Or Gov. Phil Murphy and top Democrats won't be able to secure enough "yes" votes, admitting defeat and putting off marijuana legalization until later this year.
"This is still going to be close," Murphy said last week. "We're not there yet."
