Just a heads up, the result of the NJ ballot referendum on marijuana/cannabis DOES NOT mean that the possession of marijuana is now legal. The Constitutional Amendment will not take effect until January 1, 2021 and requires enabling legislation and regulations, which will set forth the legal amounts and
lawful locations for the sale, possession and use of legal cannabis.
