New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat who promised this issue in 2017 when he ran for governor, signed marijuana legalization into state law......

Quote
More than three years after he took office with hopes of legalizing marijuana in 100 days, Gov. Phil Murphy signed three bills that together launch a marijuana industry in New Jersey and put an end to thousands of arrests.

Republicans objected strenuously to the bill and New Jersey’s powerful Policemen’s Benevolent Association called it “anti-police”. Meanwhile, some of the state’s leading Black lawmakers, including Legislative Black Caucus Chair Ron Rice and Sen. Nia Gill (both D-Essex), said the legislation didn’t go far enough to hold law enforcement to account.

Yes, they are bastards in the system, but you still need them to handle violent crime. They don't need to be making stupid drug arrests...
