It has been a busy January for cannabis in New Jersey. As expected, since Governor Murphy took office, the Cannabis industry is off to an exciting and high-paced start. With various events around the state, it is evident the cannabis train has left the station and New Jersey is getting primed for the expected boom.

Governor Murphy immediately expanded the Medical Marijuana Program through executive order. However, full-blown legalization is something that must be done through the legislature.
It’s time for adults to take control of the program. As Murphy put it, it’s time we stopped allowing politics to trump compassion. @ohamkrw #nj #cannabis #marijuana #mmj #legalizeit https://t.co/wBMc2MLTSA

Murphy came out fighting for minimum wage, equal pay for women, and of course, medical cannabis expansion.
In the first 10 days, we:
✔️Promoted equal pay for women
✔️Took action on ethics
✔️Promoted $15 min wage, paid sick leave
✔️Supported small biz
✔️Spoke at #womensmarchnj
✔️Boosted ACA
✔️Began @NJTransit audit
✔️Expanded medical marijuana
More work to do.

Legalization will be happening soon. The expansion of MMJ last week was a strong indication that Governor Murphy is not wavering on his committment to push forward with legalization.
A marijuana legalization bill is slated to be introduced in the state Legislature on February 1st.https://t.co/OqFK3W1ILG#legalcannabis #legalizeIt #NJ #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #mmj @GovMurphy

However, the legislature must consider many factors. Limits on dispensaries could have limited effects on the black market if residents have to pay more and it is difficult to obtain because of traveling long distances.
#NJ is at #risk for being led down the wrong path..Several #lawmakers support a cap as low as 100 licensed dispensaries in the state. This is dangerous as clear & compelling correlations exist between the # of legit dispensaries and the black market. #njhttps://t.co/4Whga0LkGg

Or making the funding more difficult…
In NJ, a state that already has legalized marijuana for medical purposes, this “could stall or even end efforts” in the state “to help those patients from getting non-opioid alternatives to serious medical issues” #cannabis #nj https://t.co/c9kuwS9Q8X

In other news… making the Democratic response to President Trump’s State of the Union is Rep. Joe Kennedy.
.@RepJoeKennedy @joekennedy voted against:
* Shielding state medical marijuana laws from DEA
* Increasing military veterans’ medical cannabis access
* Protecting kids who use non-psychoactive CBD extracts for seizures
Terrible pick by Dems for State of the Union response. https://t.co/TY5neNpCRM

Fighting the Opioid Epidemic With Cannabis
Although many prohibitionists refer to cannabis as a gateway drug, here are some examples of how it is actually the exit drug and has many medicinal benefits to help the opioid epidemic.
Cannabis can be used to help get people off of heroin. It is an exit drug not the gateway drug you think it is. https://t.co/2cwdARzol1
