The Murphy administration has yet to announce whether the governor will reappoint a vocal critic of New Jerseyās weed industry to the stateās Cannabis Regulatory Commission, and the delay is raising concern from social justice groups.
Charles Barkerās term as a cannabis commissioner is up this month, and the Murphy administration this week declined to comment on what the governor plans to do. Barker could not be reached for comment.
The Cannabis Regulatory Commission was set up to oversee the stateās rollout of legal weed and is in charge of issuing state licenses to businesses that grow, sell and manufacture. The commission also determines testing compliance procedures for businesses.
