New Jersey just quietly moved to decriminalize marijuana, at least for the rest of the summer.

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal has requested all municipal prosecutors adjourn all marijuana offenses until Sept. 4 as his office develops “appropriate guidance.”

The move comes less than a week after a back-and-forth between Grewal and Jersey City officials, who announced their own plans to decriminalize weed — charging those caught possessing weed with fines violations akin to a traffic ticket and dismissing others.

In a scolding letter sent the next day, Grewal told Jersey City municipal prosecutor Jake Hudnut that he did not have the “legal authority” to decriminalize weed. But the two sides met yesterday, resulting in Grewal’s memo issued Tuesday morning, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop said in a news release.

“This is a huge win for Jersey City, the state of New Jersey and, most importantly, the people who would have been impacted by the creation of a criminal record due to as simple marijuana arrest,” he said.

Progress toward New Jersey marijuana legalization, at one point anticipated to happen as soon as July 1, slowed down during budget talks last month but is expected to heat back up near the end of the summer. [Read more at Asbury Park Press]
