| 22 Jan 2021 | 12:27 New Jerseyans voted two-to-one in November to legalize recreational cannabis for people 21 and over. The constitutional amendment was supposed to take effect January 1. So, is it okay to light up? “Right now – no,” said Captain Keith Kimkowski of the Vernon Township Police Department. “We have to wait for the legislation to come out. We’re waiting for guidance because it’s going against how we’ve been policing for years.” The passage of a pair of bills – one to legalize and establish an adult-use marijuana industry, the other to decriminalize up to six ounces of possession – will make New Jersey the first state in the mid-Atlantic where recreational marijuana will be sold and taxed, similar to alcohol. But as of this writing, those bills are now three weeks overdue, as lawmakers duke it out with the governor over thorny questions like penalties for underage marijuana use.
