Daily News | Why New Jersey’s weed is so expensive | Morning Newsletter
Compared to the marijuana laws right across the bridge, the problem of the high cost of legal weed in New Jersey is small.Cannabis is decriminalized in Philadelphia, meaning that buying or consuming small amounts won’t result in arrest. But selling recreational cannabis in Pennsylvania remains a crime.
The Lair in West Philly proudly advertises itself as a “420 social club” and a vegan cannabis lounge. It markets itself as a Black-owned business where people have been able to buy and consume marijuana in a safe and comfortable environment for the past three years. But back in February, the Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigations and the Philadelphia police launched a nearly month-long undercover investigation of the space, according to court records The Inquirer reviewed.
They set up surveillance and deployed two confidential informants to purchase marijuana at the site. In March, they applied for a search warrant to investigate “evidence of drug trafficking” and a judge signed off.Agents confiscated a range of marijuana products, including “pre rolled blunts” and “bulk weed,” and a variety of baked goods, including “multiple cupcakes.” They also confiscated three firearms.
