Cannabis Journalism Spring 2019

Many residing in New Jersey today hoped to make history. Some were voting towards legalizing cannabis throughout the state however others were still moving towards stopping all future progress. Unfortunately, this was a no go. For today, because nothing good comes without a fight. We spoke about this topic today in class and while I was unaware of the work being done in New Jersey, we begun the class with the hopes of progress but we were informed halfway through that it had collapsed.

During today's course I realized that there are so many job opportunities within the cannabis industry. Its not something to take lightly and there has to be a way for states like New Jersey to want to keep fighting towards. Colorado has been seen as an experiment but its more than that. Its a state that allowed job opportunities to flow and most importantly it was a state that was not scared to set the new standard. History is rarely made on the first try…

We can bet that New Jersey will continue the fight so that they are able to legalize cannabis but also gain the ability to clear marijuana convictions.

New Jersey, keep up the fight.
