Murphy's announcement on Twitter comes just three days after state regulators green lighted permits for seven facilities that already sell medical cannabis to begin retailing recreational marijuana.
New Jersey regulators gave a green light this week to seven facilities that already sell medical marijuana to also sell recreational cannabis.
Three of the seven facilities, known as alternative treatment centers, are in the northern part of the state. Three are in the south, and one is in central New Jersey. There are about 130,000 medical marijuana patients in the state, with an estimated roughly 800,000 potential recreational consumers, and fewer than 800,000 estimated"tourism" consumers, according to the commission.
"We remain committed to social equity," Cannabis Regulatory Commission Chair Dianna Houenou said in a statement."We promised to build this market on the pillars of social equity and safety. Ultimately, we hope to see businesses and a workforce that reflect the diversity of the state."
