One of the residents of the state, even before the law to legalize marijuana was approved, published in Twitter a post with the following content: “I've spun three victorious joints and I'm ready to celebrate. And if it (the law - Ed.) Does not pass ... three joints are ready anyway! "

However, as writes Inquirer, New Jersey residents will have a long way to go.

The approved amendment is the formal consent of state residents to legalize marijuana, but the legalization process itself still needs to be spelled out in law. The amendment only indicated that the state's sales tax on marijuana products would be 6,25%. The rest should be decided by the Legislative Assembly of the region.

The New Jersey constitutional amendment, adopted on November 3, will enter into force on January 1. After that, the Legislative Assembly of the region will start developing the relevant laws.

Recall that the law on the legalization of marijuana in New York will be submitted to the state budget in January 2021, and the reform will come into effect on April 1. About this earlier сообщил Chief Adviser on Marijuana Legalization, Governor's Office.

The state legislature has yet to decide how to regulate the industry, including through the Cannabis Regulatory Commission, whose members have not yet been appointed.
