Today Governor Phil Murphy posted on his Facebook page about historic legal marijuana laws he passed. While OCSN has not reviewed the full text of all legislation passed today, we can see what he shared with the public as posted below. While addressing all seven checkpoints he hit on is a bold beginning, let us not remain complacent with the progress in legalization of marijuana in New Jersey. We need to make sure everything is done as best we can, and it doesn’t become a patchwork of broken restrictions like our medical marijuana program currently is.
MURPHY: New Jersey’s broken and indefensible marijuana laws are no more.Today, I signed historic legislation to:
Legalize adult-use cannabis
Decriminalize marijuana possession in small amounts
Limit the use of previous marijuana convictions
Create a regulated cannabis marketplace
I’m grateful to all our legislative partners who put so much into this process.I thank all the allies across the spectrum of social justice, and the many leaders of our communities of faith, who joined us in this work.
We now have laws that will:
Usher in a new industry based on equity
Reinvest dollars into communities
Promote both public health and public safety
It’s a new dawn in New Jersey, and I am proud that we did this together.I thank every New Jerseyan who supported the constitutional amendment this past fall.Your overwhelming support spurred us to keep working, to keep talking, to keep our eyes on the goal line. Thank you.As our new cannabis marketplace begins to take shape, businesses will be formed, and jobs will be created.Starting immediately, those who had been subject to an arrest for petty marijuana possession will be able to get relief and move forward.
He needs to smoke more dope
Still broken because you can’t grow your own
Russell Scott it will come
Ray Luedtke maybe eventually but it’s not legalized until there is no regulation on it. State only cares about the money
Russell Scott ha sure you can!
Russell Scott can’t tax on what you grow
Freddy Pantso not “legally”
Glenn Ehrhardt exactly
Glenn Ehrhardt this state will come up with a yearly permit to do so
Getting desperate for reelection?????????
Michael Rosell guarantee this idiot will be re-elected
Anthony Gentile hate to say it but I think you’re right????
Anyone who gets angry at this post is a loser
Anthony Lamberti Honestly yea. FUCK Murphy, but credit where credit is due.
Good start,but remember, where Cannabis goes, so should DUI laws for Cannabis. Living in CA,c we see thousands of accidents for stoned driving every year.
John Coluccio That is a very good point, if you want to smoke at home, thats your business, no problem but you are going to get those who get stoned and decide they got the munchies and get behind the wheel, If you want to smoke at home , no problem but people are going to get these rights and abuse them in that manner
Nah i don’t believe thousands
Fake news!

A promise made, a promise kept. You have to take the good with the bad no matter who is in office. As they say you can’t satisfy everyone.

Underage possession should have a higher penalty, not lower.
Michele Viv that’s ridiculous. Worry about kids getting their hands on alcohol and pills instead. Those are the killers, not pot.
Worry about your own kids my guy!

You passed nothing, the people passed it.

The same legislation that’s been on his desk for 3 years.
Amazing. There still fighting it. Still studying it. They can’t get their heads screwed on tight after all these years but, they can shovel that vaccine out like no tomorrow. The vaccine hasn’t been tested, but, it’s being used.
Hiw much is the car insurance going up?
