Real work can begin on creating New Jersey s legal adult-use marijuana market. The panel charged with guiding and overseeing legal weed held its first meeting Monday. I m thrilled that we ve finally arrived at this historic day, the inaugural public meeting of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission, said CRC chairwoman Dianna Houenou.
Houenou, senior policy advisor to Gov. Phil Murphy, said the CRC aims to develop a national model for sensible, fair oversight. This will take time, she said.
During the meeting, members elected a vice chair, approved a logo, and voted to transfer authority from the Department of Health to the CRC for activities related to medical marijuana, which launched for patients in 2012.
New Jersey officials have begun work on setting up the state’s new recreational marijuana marketplace after voters approved the law change in November. But there are still many hurdles to clear, said Jeff Brown, executive director of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission, during the agency’s first official meeting Monday afternoon.
