N.J. celebrates its first legal 4/20 by lighting up joints in Trenton

After years of calling on New Jersey to legalize weed, Garden State activists, entrepreneurs and medical marijuana patients took a victory lap Tuesday celebrating outside of the Statehouse by lighting joints and taking a sigh of relief.
4/20, the unofficial weed holiday of unknown origins, has a new meaning in New Jersey this year. Two months ago, Gov. Phil Murphysigned laws that decriminalize up to six ounces of marijuana and outline a legal cannabis industry for people 21 and older.
But work remains both to set up the industry and ease access for medical marijuana patients, who have long complained about product shortages and high prices. There’s still stigma, too; many cities and towns are contemplating ordinances that would ban weed businesses in their borders, even though nearly municipality in the state voted in favor of a ballot question to legalize marijuana.

Good Wednesday morning!
Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign can breathe a sigh of relief. Rival GOP gubernatorial candidate Phil Rizzo did not qualify for matching funds.
That’s according to a letter I received last night in response to a public records request, after the Election Law Enforcement Commission met on the issue behind closed doors but
WAYNE All sales of marijuana are forbidden within local limits under a new measure supported this week by drug-control advocates and the township s top law enforcement officer.
But some critics of the zoning law, adopted by the governing body in an 8-1 vote, argued that such a ban would inconvenience a vulnerable segment of the population: those who take the drug as medicine.
At a virtual public hearing that began Wednesday and ended after midnight, callers from across the state admonished the Township Council for putting the sick and dying further back in line.
Among them was Edward Lefty Grimes, an activist from East Hanover.
