Cannabis in New Jersey is legal for both medical use and recreational use. An amendment legalizing cannabis became part of the state constitution on January 1, 2021 and enabling legislation and related bills were signed into law by governor Phil Murphy on February 22, 2021.
Efforts at legalization through a New Jersey Legislature bill during the 2018-2019 legislative session were unsuccessful, but in December 2019, the Legislature placed a referendum on legalization on the 2020 ballot. On November 3, 2020, Question 1 passed with 67% approval. On December 17 the New Jersey legislature approved a bill setting up a recreational marketplace. Disagreements between the governor and legislature over the lack of underage penalties in the legislation decriminalizing cannabis led to the effective date of cannabis legalization being delayed from January 1 until February 22, and police continued to arrest residents for marijuana offenses regularly during that time period.
