Can You Legally Travel With Marijuana From NJ into PA?

Marijuana has been legal in New Jersey for a few years now and now we’re starting to see more and more New Jersey residents getting on the trend.

I feel as though everywhere you go in New Jersey, there’s a dispensary close to you. They aren’t quite as popular as liquor stores yet, but I would argue that in due time they will be.

With more and more dispensaries popping up in the area, it means that there will also be a lot of advertising going oon to try and get new customers to come in and give some of the products a try. Marijuana use was recreationally legalised back in 2021 and it has become super normal too everyone in New Jersey now.
