(TRENTON) – Assemblyman Joe Danielsen (D-Middlesex/Somerset), chairman of the Assembly Oversight, Reform and Federal Relations Committee released the following statement Monday after the committee heard testimony on the impact of potential marijuana legalization:

“I want to thank everyone who testified for their input. This was a great start to the Assembly’s work on this issue, and I look forward to more debate in the weeks ahead. We heard several hours of productive and invaluable discussion that will prove helpful as we consider all arguments.
“We started as a blank state, and the committee received a great education, but it’s just the beginning. The committee will hold three additional hearings across the slate.
“All the hearings will be on Saturday – starting with April 21 at Rowan University and then May 12 at Bergen County Community College. A third location in central New Jersey will be determined.
