Decrimilization in NJ

Edited by dom12, 18 May 2012 - 07:10 PM.

Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer) already does. He’s proposed a bill to decriminalize marijuana, up for consideration today. It has 18 co-sponsors and is said to have made it further in the Legislature than any similar measure so far. It would make possession of a little bit of pot the equivalent of a traffic ticket, with a small fine that brings no criminal record

So far, Gov. Chris Christie hasn’t taken a position on this bill, but he made drug treatment for nonviolent offenders one of his top priorities this year. As a former federal prosecutor, he should see this as another way to keep low-level offenders out of prison and save taxpayer dollars.

Treat pot the same way we do alcohol, with education and treatment. Not by calling the cops. What didn’t work for bootleggers won’t stop the stoners.

it was passed unanimously. its all on Christie. dont fuck it up..

Not yet. This was only an important panel hearing. The bill needs to pass the legislature before going to Christie.

A small, but important victory today.

Contact your state representatives through this link and tell them to support this bill.

Jersey brah checking in. Also wondering when this will officially be voted on.


Hopefully Christie does the right thing. I actually feel like it has a good chance of passing. So tired of driving around with a gram or less being worried about being pulled over.

don't have to worry about driving around with weed anymore as well
