Medical Marijuana Expansion Passes in New Jersey Assembly
The measure eventually discontinues the sales tax for medical marijuana, but it does allow towns to apply a transfer tax of up to 2% on dispensed cannabis.
Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy hasn't weighed in specifically on the bill, but has said he has mixed views on lawmakers' efforts now to focus on expanding medical marijuana. Murphy himself has taken regulatory action to expand the number of illnesses treatable under the program, among other changes.
