New Jersey will begin adult recreational cannabis sales and use starting next Thursday, according to a release from the state's cannabis regulatory commission
According to the release, the commission will issue licenses to seven alternative treatment centers — including 13 retail dispensaries.Early last year, Gov. Phil Murphy signed the legislation decriminalizing marijuana use for those 21 years and older, CNN previously reported.That signature came on the heels of a 2020 ballot measure that saw New Jersey vote to legalize recreational marijuana.
State lawmakers, unable to drum up enough support to pass a bill to fully legalize marijuana, agreed to place the question directly to voters:"Do you approve amending the Constitution to legalize a controlled form of marijuana called 'cannabis'?"Public Question No. 1 amended the state constitution to legalize cannabis for personal, non-medical use by adults 21 and older, with the state commission that oversees the medical market also regulating the personal market.
