Illinois will begin legal marijuana sales on Jan. 1.
law allows adults 21 and older to purchase about an ounce. Those previously convicted of possessing or selling less than that amount will have their criminal record expunged.
In New Jersey, lawmakers earlier this month passed a measure to place the question of legalization before state voters in November. The move comes after a year of legal-wrangling in Trenton, where lawmakers disagreed on areas like taxes and the expungement of criminal records. “And, when they do, we will take a critical and long overdue step for real criminal justice reform,” Murphy said.released in October found that 58% of New Jersey residents said they support legalization, while only 37% said they oppose it.
As in New Jersey, lawmakers in Connecticut this year failed to come to a consensus on a legalization bill. Some state officials, including Gov. Ned Lamont, have called on lawmakers to continue working on legislation in 2020.Advertisement
