🧠 Know the Law Before You Light Up
Cannabis is legal in New Jersey, but there are rules. Understanding age limits, possession laws, and where you can (and can’t) consume is key to staying safe—and legal.
🔞 Who Can Legally Use Cannabis?
Cannabis is for adults 21 and older—period.
Dispensaries check ID, and underage possession can mean fines or community service. Just like alcohol, no exceptions.
🚫 Where Not to Smoke
You can’t light up just anywhere. Here’s the breakdown:
Public spaces like parks and sidewalks: Nope
In your car (even if it’s parked): Still nope
At work: Depends on your employer
At home: Yes—if the property owner says it’s okay
Stick to private spaces to avoid fines or worse.
📦 How Much Can You Legally Have?
Possession: Up to 6 ounces for personal use
Purchases per visit:
1 ounce flower
5 grams concentrates
1,000mg THC in edibles
📌 Pro tip: You can’t legally grow your own—yet.
👮 Penalties: What Happens If You Break the Rules?
Underage use: Fines, classes, and community service
Public use: Fines or even jail time for repeat offenses
Too much weed on you: Confiscation and penalties
Driving high: Big fines, suspended license, possible jail
The law takes impaired driving seriously—don’t risk it.
