Marijuana Industry Has New Jersey Politicians Seeing Green
No one is laughing at Scutari now. Having also authored the bill that made medical marijuana legal in New Jersey in 2010, he's now the industry darling, and it shows in the amount of money lobbyists, cannabis companies and doctors have poured into his election campaigns.
In the last three years, the marijuana industry has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Scutari and other elected officials who are leading the charge on legalization, according to data filed with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.
