It’s lit..literally.
New Jersey approved a constitutional amendment legalizing marijuana for adult use, persons 21 and older.
With the historic vote, New Jersey reportedly “became the first state in the Mid-Atlantic region to adopt legal cannabis, creating a potential $2 billion market and making it likely that criminal arrests for marijuana will be curtailed.”
To my friends in NJ, the constitutional amendment was passed for marijuana legalization, but that DOES NOT mean you can’t get locked up. Full legalization may not go into effect until January 1st 2021.

“New Jersey voters have mandated an end to cannabis prohibition, and they have voiced their support for building an equitable, just market in place of unfair and outdated drug laws,” said Axel Owen, campaign manager for NJ CAN 2020.
New Jersey joins eleven other states that have fully legalized marijuana.
We are still patiently waiting to see who will become to next President.
