New Jersey State Senate: Photo Credit
On Monday, March 25, the New Jersey Legislature chose not to vote on the adult use cannabis legalization bill that has been the subject of debate for several years. The vote was delayed due to the lack of support for the bill. This is certainly a roadblock to adult use cannabis in New Jersey, but the efforts to legalize are not over. Legislators will continue to debate the merits of cannabis legalization in the hope that the outstanding assemblymen and senators will change their positions and vote in favor of cannabis the next time the bill is presented for a vote. Alternatively, the issue of cannabis legalization could be put to a ballot question, which would give New Jerseyans an opportunity to make their “voice heard.”
This blog will continue to follow all of the legalization efforts in New Jersey.
