So you’ve heard the news? Recreational marijuana is now legal to buy in New Jersey as an adult.

On the first day of sales, more than 12,000 customers bought nearly $1.9 million of recreational cannabis. But what if you don’t live in New Jersey and want to bring it home with you — is that legal?

We talked to local law enforcement to give you a clear answer. The short answer is no.

Yes. Any adult ages 21 and over can purchase marijuana from approved dispensaries in New Jersey. You’re also allowed to possess up to six ounces of marijuana in New Jersey. Emphasis on, “in New Jersey.” These new laws only apply to adults inside the state of New Jersey. If you leave the state with legal New Jersey weed, you’re subject to other state and federal laws.

No, it’s illegal. Very illegal.

Even if you live in New Jersey, you can’t leave the state with your stash. In New Jersey, the law allows for approved businesses to grow and sell cannabis to adult consumers within the state. That’s as far as you can go with your legal Jersey weed — otherwise it becomes illegal.
