New Jersey Voters Set To Decide On Legalizing Marijuana
New Jersey would become the 12th state to legalize recreational marijuana
New Jersey voters will decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana next month, after the Democratic-led state legislature fell short of enough votes to get it done.
The ballot measure, if passed, would amend the state constitution to allow people ages 21 and older to use marijuana. It would also allow the state to establish a regulated market to grow, distribute and sell the drug.
All registered voters will be sent ballots this month that they can either mail in or drop off at specific sites. There is no early in-person voting in the state.
If the measure is approved, New Jersey would become the 12th state in the U.S. along with Washington, D.C., to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes. The state has already legalized medical marijuana.
