+  with link to the checked `us-new-jersey-possession-protections-2021` entry).
+- Consumption lounges: CRC-approved proposed rules via Ganjapreneur (bot-blocked, search-sourced;
+  corroborated by second snippet). MJBizDaily also bot-blocked; Apr-21 date corroborated by
+  AP/Leafly/Asbury Park snippets.
