Medical use:Legal
Recreational:Yes

New Jersey is also a member of the fully rec club. The state allows dispensaries to sell up to the equivalent of 1 ounce of cannabis to adults 21 and older. You can choose from dried flower, concentrates, or edibles, but they can only add up to 1000mg of THC in total. The cool thing is that New Jersey has also decriminalized possession of up to 6 ounces of marijuana or about 17 grams of concentrates. Like many states, the medical program is a little more lenient with how much you can use and have at a time. Patients with a valid prescription to possess up to 3 ounces of usable cannabis.
