Sweeney: I'm open to exploring decriminalization
State Senate President Steve Sweeney said Tuesday he’s open to exploring a decriminalization measure now that New Jersey won’t have a legal cannabis marketplace for at least another year.
“I’m open to something,” Sweeney (D-Gloucester) said in an interview, adding that he’d want a decriminalization bill structured in a way that doesn't “make the black market so attractive that it becomes worse.“
