Katherine Tammaro (Partner-New Jersey) provides an analysis and potential prognosis for the November 3, 2020, ballot question on the legalization of adult-use marijuana in New Jersey. Her article, "The NJ Cannabis Legalization Ballot Question: Get Out the Vote by Staying at Home?" in Law.com's June 25, 2020, issue discusses New Jersey's efforts to provide easier vote-by-mail and safer in-person voting options for November 3. The article notes that in advance of the election, the majority of New Jersey registered voters polled were in favor of adult-use marijuana. Katherine concludes that given the efforts to get out the vote in New Jersey, it appears that adult use will pass, and the New Jersey legislature will then have to resolve details such as licensing, taxes and past criminal records.
