MURPHY4
(Trenton, NJ/77WABC)-TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A bill that would legalize marijuana in NJ advanced out of a state Senate committee on Friday. The bill, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Nicholas Scutari, said Friday he thinks the legislation has enough support to pass before the full legislature today.
That’s when Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy faces a deadline to act on different legislation already on his desk to legalize the recreational marijuana market for people 21 and over.
Gov. Murphy has publicly supported the legalization of Marijuana for those 21 years of age and over; however, the Governor has voiced concerns about too much grey area regarding laws concerning people between the age of 18 and 21 who possess or illegally use Marijuana.
