Legalizes possession of six or fewer marijuana plants, subject to enactment of legislation legalizing marijuana or cannabis for personal use.

This bill would legalize possession of up to six marijuana plants for personal use, but only if New Jersey enacts another bill (Assembly Bill 21(2R), the "Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act") that legalizes marijuana for personal use. It amends New Jersey's criminal code to remove penalties for possessing six or fewer marijuana plants, making such possession not subject to punishment. The bill directly affects residents who would be using marijuana personally once the main legalization bill passes. It would take effect upon enactment of Assembly Bill 21(2R), which is currently pending before the Governor.
