The CRC will, according to the state, regulate New Jersey's medical cannabis marketplace and give oversight for the soon-to-be-established adult-use recreational cannabis marketplace. Medicinal marijuana has been legal in the Garden State since 2010.
Gov. Murphy established the CRC in 2019 and started making appointments once the state voted to legalize recreational marijuana in November of 2020.
In a statement Thursday, Murphy said that the commission will "act to ensure that the marketplace for adult-use recreational cannabis is equitable, fair, and inclusive of all communities.”
