NJ on Track to Legalize Cannabis
New Jersey is on track to legalize marijuana within the next hundred days. The countdown began last night when New Jerseyans elected pro-legalization candidate Phil Murphy (D) to replace Governor Chris Christie, who could not run for a third term in office.
Murphy repeatedly championed legalization on the campaign trail, including his address following his victory in the New Jersey primary last June, where he argued that repealing prohibition was primarily an issue of social justice.
The criminalization of marijuana has only served to clog our courts and cloud peoples futures, so we will legalize marijuana, Murphy said. And while there are financial benefits, this is overwhelmingly about doing what is right and just.
Assuming this happens, and I see no reason why it wont, it indirectly creates a lot more freedom for many millions of New York City and Philadelphia residents like myself.
Seems like were entering a golden age for cannabis.
