“When New Jersey legalized adult use of marijuana, the legislature made it clear that they were creating a regulated market and restricting how that market works,” Greval said. “Some vendors did not wait for the establishment of these regulations. Instead, he decided to move forward on his own in a way not permitted by law.”
