A 3251 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies that unlawful gifting of marijuana or cannabis is prohibited under "New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act."

This bill clarifies that giving away cannabis for promotional or business purposes (when it's actually part of a sale) is illegal under New Jersey's cannabis law. It defines such "gifting" as transferring cannabis outside of a legal sale in a cannabis retail store for promotional or business reasons. These transactions are now considered violations of the state's drug law, subjecting offenders to penalties similar to distributing marijuana. The amendment prevents businesses from using "gift" transactions to bypass cannabis regulations. This clarification is part of New Jersey's Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act.
