NJ legal weed bills to allow 6 ounces of marijuana, set up taxes expected to pass today
After weeks of negotiations and years of debate, legislators today are expected to finally pass needed legislation that would make marijuana legal in New Jersey beginning Jan. 1.
The Legislature today is expected to pass the two pieces of "enabling" legislation designed to turn New Jersey voters' wishes to legalize marijuana into reality, allowing marijuana users to possess up to 6 ounces of weed and setting up the framework of a license and tax structure for the purchase and sale of legal weed.
