According to New Jersey 101.5, cannabis-infused products like cookies, brownies, gummies or anything that "resembles food"—aside from lozenges—will not be permitted for sale in the state.
While the industry is frustrated with the state's lack of licensing approval, the article states that some groups seem OK with the state's infused products regulations.
The president of the New Jersey CannaBusiness Association, Edmund DeVeaux, said in the article that the CRC's regulations were not surprising, as they were implemented to "balance citizen concerns."
"This is an opportunity for people to get used to the notion of legalized cannabis without having to worry about the children or seniors and them accessing edibles, sweets, anything that contains THC, whether intentionally or accidentally," DeVeaux said.
