What are the medical-use cannabis regulations for New Jersey?
Medical patients with qualifying conditions (list can be found on the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission website) have been able to access medicinal cannabis since 2018 when outgoing Governor Jon Corzine signed the limited medical marijuana law on his last day in office. The program’s implementation was delayed under incoming Governor Chris Christie, a staunch marijuana prohibitionist, but was further expanded by the state’s current governor, Phil Murphy. While cannabis is now recreationally legal in the state, patients can choose to apply for a medical card, and can then purchase up to 3 ounces of cannabis in a 30-day period. No taxes will be collected on medical cannabis products.
