Legal weed in New Jersey? Not so fast.
New Jersey's rush toward legal marijuana has slowed to a crawl.
Gov. Phil Murphy's first 100 days in office came and went without a legal weed bill passing the Legislature. Then, on July 1, Murphy signed a state budget that does not anticipate non-medical marijuana sales in the next year, forcing the administration to strip out $60 million in revenue that it had anticipated from taxes on the drug.
