After years of politically-driven delays and prolonged court battles, more than 500 cannabis entrepreneurs virtually gathered earlier this week to imagine what a multi-billion-dollar industry could mean for patients and the New Jersey economy.
Retired NBA star and cannabis mogul Al Harrington, who is a New Jersey native, spoke about his goal to foster 100 Black millionaires through the cannabis industry.
NJ marijuana advocates huddle on next steps, including home grow
TRENTON – Recreational marijuana is now legal in New Jersey – on the books, though not on store shelves for a while. But its advocates are already talking about next steps, including what many see as the missing link: the right to grow marijuana at home.
Bill Caruso, an attorney and New Jersey United for Marijuana Reform steering committee member, said he’s “very confident” medical marijuana patients will soon gain approval to grow perhaps up to six plants at home for their own use.
“The ability to allow patients the function of achieving the relief they need through some limited medical home grow isn’t really scary any more to a lot of people,” Caruso said.
