The marijuana trend is growing in New Jersey as more and more towns are giving businesses the green light to start offering recreational marijuana sales.
Lawmakers tell the acting attorney general that police remain wary of approaching young people with marijuana under the marijuana decriminalization law.
In 2021 alone, the New Jersey Poison Control Center assisted in the medical treatment of more than 150 children who were exposed to cannabis edibles like gummies or cookies.
Though the state's legalization law doesn't include a prohibition, a growing list of police departments say their officers can't use marijuana while off duty.
