Bill To Decriminalize Marijuana Possession Introduced In New Jersey

Contact Officials - NORML: "Bill To Decriminalize Marijuana Possession Introduced In New Jersey
Bipartisan legislation to reduce marijuana possession penalties was introduced on Wednesday, June 29, in the New Jersey legislature.

Assembly Bill 4252 removes criminal penalties for the possession of 15 grams or less of marijuana, replacing them with civil penalties punishable by no more than a $100 fine. The bill has seventeen sponsors led by Assemblymen Reed Gusciora (D-25) and Michael Patrick Carroll (R-15). This is the first time that legislation to significantly reduce penalties for adults who possess and consume marijuana for non-medical purposes has ever been considered by state lawmakers."
