Legislation has been introduced in the Assembly that would move over into its own bill an amendment to downgrade penalties for psychedelic mushroom possession.
Senate adds random drug testing and tests for any suspicion to the bill, which evisions new industry of certified 'workplace impairment recognition experts.'
Senate votes 29-4 to decriminalize the posession of up to 6 ounces of marijuana. Assembly schedules a Monday voting session, but no word if a vote is planned.
As it's written now, New Jersey's proposed law for adult cannabis use does not block workers in certain professions from smoking or ingesting marijuana on their own time.
Sponsors of the legislation heard no shortage of complaints and suggested changes from colleagues and industry advocates, but plans seem to still point to votes by the full houses before the end of November.
