New Jersey separates licensed cannabis protection from decriminalisation

The 2021 legislation protected adults holding up to one ounce of licensed cannabis, subject to lawful-source conditions. Possession over that amount through six ounces avoided a criminal possession charge, but excess could be seized, as the Attorney General later explained to police.[1][2]
