New Jersey Legalizes Adult-Use Recreational Cannabis

Posted on

Governor Phil Murphy recently passed three laws on Monday that create the basic structure of recreational cannabis use in the state. Citizens over 21 years old will be allowed to carry up to six ounces of marijuana and purchase it once the marketplace is set up. Additionally, police are barred from stopping a minor on suspicion or smelling marijuana and are only allowed to give out warnings. The new provisions also prevent officers from arresting minors on alcohol possession, limiting action to the same warning system. However, missing from the provisions is any guidance for employers on how to alter existing drug policies for employees.
