On Monday, April 12, 2021, New Jersey’s newly formed and seated Cannabis Regulatory Commission (“CRC” or “the Commission”) the body that will oversee New Jersey’s medical and adult-use cannabis programs held its first official meeting. Pursuant to New Jersey’s medical and adult-use cannabis laws, authority for oversight of New Jersey’s cannabis program was officially moved from the New Jersey Department of Health to the CRC. Now, the CRC’s work begins to structure the Garden State’s expanding cannabis industry which includes, among other things, issuing regulations and handling all aspects of licensing.

Jan. 7, 2021: A salesperson answers questions at a marijuana store in South Portland, Maine. Cannabis has rocketed to the top of the state’s agricultural crops.
It took more than four tortuous years and the creaky machinations of New Jersey Democratic politics before adult-use marijuana was legalized earlier this year. Now, the hard work actually began Monday with the first meeting of the state’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission.
The commission started the formidable task of constructing what is expected to be a safe and profitable $1 billion weed industry from scratch. That industry will be guided by a new regulatory bureaucracy created by this commission and given a mandate to mend the racial and social sins wrought by decades of biased and unjust law enforcement during marijuana prohibition.
