In mid-December, the New Jersey Legislature passed the Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (CREAMMA), enabling a new adult-use cannabis market. At that time, political support for the Act appeared to signal that New Jersey was in the final stage of readiness to open the adult-use market; however it took an additional two months for Governor Murphy to sign CREAMMA into law and complete the required appointments to fill the vacancies of the five-member Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC).
On Feb. 22, 2021, CREAMMA went in effect. Now, with a functioning CRC, New Jersey is poised to activate its adult-use cannabis market. However, what comes next, and how long will it be until this new market is open for business? To answer these questions, this article discusses the licensing process timelines under CREAMMA.
