New Jersey lawmakers released their latest proposal to legalize recreational marijuana in the state.
A joint Democrat-led Assembly and Senate committee is expected to discuss the package of measures on Nov. 26.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The proposal provides for legalizing an ounce of marijuana for adults 21 and older, setting up a five-person cannabis commission and taxing cannabis sales at 12%.
- The draft also permits local governments to apply up to a 2% tax on cannabis.
- Gov. Murphy’s office didn’t respond immediately to the new legislation.

How craft cannabis businesses are catering to consumers' desire for high end, small batch products.
Put this tax on clothing not pot which is too expensive already and needed for medical use by some,the same SIN tax mentality they put on alcohol and cigarettes and constantly keep rasing,is absolutely wrong and will end up being a disaster down the road.
