TRENTON - New Jersey residents over 21-years-old will be allowed to purchase recreational marijuana in the Garden State next week, according to Governor Phil Murphy.

Call it a coincidence, but the newly-reelected governor said New Jerseyans can purchase pot without a medical marijuana card starting on 4/21."This is a historic step in our work to create a new cannabis industry," Murphy said.The news comes about a year after the state's regulatory commission started operating, and a year and a half after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question to permit recreational marijuana for people 21 and older.New Jersey is one of 18 states, along with the District of Columbia, that have legalized recreational marijuana.

There also are 37 states, including New Jersey, that have legalized medical marijuana.Three of the seven facilities, known as alternative treatment centers, are in the northern part of the state.

Three are in the south, and one is in central New Jersey.To get approval, the centers agreed that the coming influx of recreational buyers won't interrupt access for patients.

'Implicit bias': DSU filing civil rights complaint after lacrosse team searched for drugs in Georgia
DOVER, Del. - A traffic stop turned drug search has taken yet another turn amid accusations of racial profiling.Delaware State University, a historically black college, will file a formal civil rights complaint against the Liberty County Sheriff's Department after the lacrosse team was stopped in Georgia, according to Tony Allen, the university's president.Allen says the deputies performed a "constitutionally dubious stop and search" of the lacrosse team and their bus as they drove home on April 20.The team was pulled over in Liberty County for an alleged minor traffic violation. Deputies then boarded the bus to announces they would be conducting a search."If there is something in there that is questionable, please tell me now because if we find it, guess what? We’re not going to be able to help you," one deputy said.Allen claims the stop and search was a violation of rights for every passenger on the bus, as well as the driver."Our first and most immediate concern was our students and coaches mental and physical well-being," he said.Allen says he has been in contact with Liberty County's sheriff, whose recent comments have raised several questions.Recently released body camera footage shows the deputies and drug-sniffing dogs searching the team's luggage and personal belongings.

New Jersey recreational marijuana sales expected to begin 'within weeks,' report says
(Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images) TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey officials have given approval to seven companies to sell recreational marijuana to adults meaning sales could start within weeks, according to The New York Times. The move comes more than a year after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question to legalize adult use of the drug.Early last year, Democratic Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation to set up a recreational marijuana marketplace. At the time of the signing, Murphy explained that by establishing a recreational marijuana marketplace, the economy statewide would flourish as new jobs would be created.On Monday, New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission, made up of five members, gave seven medical-marijuana companies final approval to start selling their products to all adults, according to NYT. The development makes New Jersey only the second state on the East Coast to fully authorize cannabis sales to all adults. The seven companies are permitted to begin selling recreational cannabis for adult use as soon as each company pays more than $1 million in fees associated with the expanded licenses and meets other requirements to obtain the license. ___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
