14th State to Legalize Cannabis

What is happening? New Jersey joined 13 other states in legalizing the recreational use of marijuana/cannabis. New Jersey did not allow public consumption of recreational cannabis.

Why is this important? Legalized sales began on 4/21 at 13 locations throughout the state. Law enforcement is being paid on their off time for security and note that shops look like e”Apple Stores” and are good neighbors to their communities.

How will this be important? Local governments in New Jersey are looking forward to the local portion of the cannabis excise tax and the local sales tax revenue from those who travel to the 13 locations for purchase.
