The New Jersey State Bar Association’s Board of Trustees convened in February to act on several measures.

The Board approved a request by the Cannabis Law Special Committee to change its name to the Cannabis and Psychedelics Law Special Committee, given the rise of the psychedelics industry alongside the growth of cannabis businesses in New Jersey. The name change brings the NJSBA in line with other bar associations that have formed committees on the topic, including the New York City, Oregon State, Colorado State and Washington State Bar Associations.
