New Jersey’s New Marijuana Laws Aim To Address Social Injustice | NBC Nightly New
I don’t understand what NY is waiting for?!!
This going to end the war on drugs and make prohibition easier for people to see we can reschedule our famous plant marijuana in America
Good for New Jersey
I’m so sure you can heal yourself. Just look for Weedborn.
Does this mean I can drive to New Jersey and buy a blunt legally?
another scare tactics republicans use for uneducated voters…
I hope their not worried about atheists entering the cannabis industry at all
Lol
I see weed and I click
Make it federal already.
Making Marijuana illegal is a stupid outdated law used to generate revenue for big brother at our expense.
No human has the right to tell me i cant have this harmless herb. Because "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I just got pulled over and accused of speeding 20 over in a 50 I was going 56 I have a digital speedometer so the cop immediately goes from that to claiming my car smelled like weed so he can search it made me and my friend stand outside in the cold while they tore apart my car just to find nothing illegal and give me a ticket for delaying traffic the cops in jersey will never stop using the same old dirty tricks that make everyone not want to be in New Jersey
This explains Corey Boogers eyes
A man lied, deflected your attention and left people spend more time in prison for a minor marijuana charge then a murderer !
The time for national legalization is now, don’t wait.
Jesus loves and cares about you so much so repent so That we all make it to heaven.
Like so more people can see this.
im currently high
It’s being done to destroy the dna!
About time!
To think while people overdose on medical approved opium and other scripted poisons
There are this people in this world to think weed is worse than death
1:34 so you want in on a multi-billion industry because you were busted, thats your business plan. Who raised you?
They need to let those that where arrested and lives ruined but it is no social justice how is a convict supposed to pay millions. They have a cap on grower permits?and million dollar buy in. It will fail cause out of stste venture captialist will push out poor people from having businesses. Its not real social justice for those who have suffered for decades with Cannibus convictions.
? Pot rots the mind.
Welcome to the 21st century Jersey.
It’s being done to destroy the dna!
Social injustice? What in gods name is that. You should have thought about that before buying it. What a joke.
People have never been arrested for weed its not a felony its always been a misdemeanor with a fine unless they were dealing it
Grass is illegal, cuz Biden is weak
0:21 What kind of blunt is that supposed to turn into 😂😂😂
Mariaewannaisigiealimallstatsunderfederallaw
Keep things moving forward and everything will get better! Stagnant water attracts mosquitoes!
NEW YORKS IS NEXT
Sloat gardening stores could benefit from this industry ESPECIALLY in San Rafael
I’m a long time smoker, but the law for minors is ridiculous..as a parent I’d want to know what my child is up to.. my decision to address it..
Marijuana is so legal. C’mon New Jersey get with the program!
Its about following the law! NOT "locking you up and then turning around and making a buck off of it!" The people are the ones who are voting and making it legal in most cases and then the states are following suit. They cant change all the laws overnight to accommodate all cases and people who want to smoke! .
Its might be able to be sold at slot gardening stores or homedepot you might be able to place in your front yard
Cannabis has nothing to do with Social problems they were ignorant before they used cannabis and they prey on each other calling themselves disrespectful names and selling dope that kills there minds. There is no hope for the weak!
😳🙄
And DISABILITY people are not documents about getting arrested for marijuana or and they wanted to try and call you mentally ill so be careful still
Jesus Christ!!!!

It is illegal to start with regardless of race. You made it legal so can curb off the majority race. So, you will do that to all crimes such as killings, robbery, … What a dumb excuse to make people drug addicts!
Until it’s taken off the federal controlled substance list there won’t be equal business opportunity for federal contractors
Should be legal in every state. It’s not like life will ever be same again anyway.
Legalize all drugs. Government has no right over peoples choices.
The dems are destroying the country on purpose but youll be to high to realise it
Being black is beautiful but the price we pay for it is racism
👏👏👏👏
