The cannabis industry in New Jersey is anticipated to rapidly expand with the passage of the personal use cannabis law in 2021, allowing for a massive increase in the cultivation and production of cannabis. Other states and countries have been addressing the effects of the increase in cannabis cultivation and production for decades. New Jersey has the benefit of evaluating other jurisdictions' issues resulting from legalizing cannabis for personal use. Since this is a new industry for New Jersey, as it was for California, Colorado, Maine, and many others, there are going to be some "growing pains."
