recreational marijuana

The message is not to not consume marijuana at all, but just to recognize that once a person has pot in their system, they are legally impaired.

But the same dilemma still exists from before these new rules were presented: Those who garner licenses may not be able to do anything with them if they don't have the cash to move their plans forward.

Demographic indicators such as gender, racial and ethnic background, and income level did not vary greatly when it came to who would approve of marijuana sales in their town and who would not, but geography mattered a bit.

Jersey drivers can also look out for "version 2.0" of the Take Control of Your Destiny campaign, targeting distracted driving, in April.

The majority of owners and employees at entry-level microbusinesses must be from the town or neighboring town of where the business would be located.

A global pandemic. A nationwide debate about police misconduct. Murder hornets. "Tiger King." Not even halfway done, the events of the year 2020 have changed our world, maybe forever. In November, New Jersey and America will decide who will be in the White House, leading us for the next four years...

A proposed constitutional amendment will be before voters next November, after it barely achieved the needed three-fifths supermajority in the Legislature.
