**DRUG DECRIMINALIZATION
**
How Governor Murphy has handled our "legalized" cannabis is a travesty. The state of NJ has consistently shown irresponsible spending of our ever-increasing tax dollars and the amendment passed in November of 2020 is proof. Vague standards and guidelines filled with empty promises that still today hasn't legalized cannabis in the slightest. You can't legally consume cannabis and you will still be arrested for carrying it. People with low-level, non-violent cannabis related offenses are still incarcerated and clogging our justice system today.
Nick believes that cannabis consumption in NJ should be completely decriminalized. It should not be left up to corrupt advisory boards to figure out how to steal money from us more effectively. In NJ, it should be legal to consume, grow, and carry this plant without penalty or tax.
Nick also believes that NJ should start moving in the direction Oregon has by decriminalizing small amounts of illicit drugs. The saved money from a decrease in drug enforcement can then be given back to the taxpayer or used to help facilitate healthy recovery from addiction.
