New Jersey voters called for marijuana legalization in 2020, and now the government officially signed off on the start of legal recreational cannabis sales for adults.
You are now able to buy cannabis flower, concentrate, ingestible forms of cannabis that aren’t food, and drops or syrups.
But, you can’t buy edibles — specifically, any cannabis product “resembling food,” according to New Jersey state law.
According to Chris Goldstein, a New Jersey-based cannabis advocate for NORML, don’t expect pot brownies in the first months of legal weed sales in the state. “Are you gonna be able to get an awesome brownie? No. Are you gonna be able to get some sort of non-smokeable cannabis that you could eat? There’ll be something,” he said.
Traditionally, a cannabis edible (or “edible”) is a food item that contains cannabis in some form. Think “pot brownie” or “space cake.”
In New Jersey, lawmakers differentiate between cannabis products as:
Ingestible cannabis products: forms of cannabis that can be taken by mouth and are absorbed through the body’s digestive system. This includes tablets, pills, syrups, tinctures (and edibles, if they become legal).
Inhalable cannabis products: forms of cannabis that are intended to be inhaled through smoke or vapor. This includes cannabis flower, concentrate, and vaporizer cartridges. [Read more at The Philadelphia Inquirer]
