Governor Phil Murphy is expected to sign sweeping legislation that paves the way for adult-use cannabis and decriminalization. A-21(Quijano)/S-21(Scutari), otherwise known as the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act, or NJ CREAMA, passed out of both houses last week and is awaiting the governor’s signature. The NJSBA did not take an official position on the bill, but is monitoring the next step of promulgating rules and regulations and any follow up to the legislation.
“We’re moving closer to the long-overdue need to end cannabis prohibition,” said the bill’s sponsor, Assemblywoman Annette Quijano. “Once the legislation is enacted, it will be the beginning of a new era of economic opportunity, social justice for marijuana possession, and hope for a better future for thousands of New Jersey residents.”
