Overview

New Jersey Attorney General Grewal has directed municipal prosecutors to adjourn or dismiss low level marijuana possession cases. The directive does not apply to DUI charges in New Jersey. “Fairness demands that we suspend prosecution of marijuana possession-related cases while we await direction from the Legislature on the parameters for decriminalization of marijuana and legalization of regulated adult-use cannabis,” Grewal said in a statement. “It simply does not make sense or serve justice to proceed with prosecutions on charges that may be foreclosed soon through legislative action.”
