New Jersey legalizes recreational marijuana
New Jersey has officially become the latest state to permit recreational marijuana use.
The New Jersey state legislature approved a series of bills Monday that regulates the sale of cannabis to anyone over the age of 21. Gov. Phil Murphy said he signed the bills later in the day.
"This legislation will establish an industry that brings equity and economic opportunity to our communities while establishing minimum standards for safe products and allowing law enforcement to focus their resources on real public safety matters,” he said in a statement.
Voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure last November that changed the state constitution to allow for marijuana legalization.
