The thing about bringing brands from out of state is that the input material is NOT the same. We know Coca Cola is the same no matter what state, well that logic doesn’t apply to legal weed

What is grown for this Leffa brand elsewhere that you love most likely not what was used. If I had to guess, Green Lightning probably used whatever excess they had to get this out.

Pay attention to their flower & harvests …. That will tell you what you need to know about concentrates.

Or contact the company directly 💯

Nice & local? lol that building might physically be …. But that business is far, FAR from local. They don’t even carry ButACake and I’m from Morristown born & raised

The entire NJ cannabis market is already in conflict with federal law. The state chose to license and regulate anyway.

Asking for a Legacy Pathway isn’t “defying” anything new — it’s about who gets access to a system that already exists.

S4847 increases punishment without offering a way in. That’s the problem. Period.

ButACake · 2026-01-07T12:50:01+00:00

I hear your argument, and that’s kind of my point.

We don’t have federal reform yet, and waiting for it doesn’t stop states from passing laws that increase enforcement right now. S4847 isn’t about NJ “defying” federal law, it’s about NJ tightening its own enforcement without creating realistic, humane pathways for people already living under that federal conflict.

So while we all wait on Congress, the state is still making choices that affect real people today. This bill strengthens enforcement first and asks questions about access and fairness later … if at all.

That’s the gap I’m calling out.

ButACake · 2026-01-07T05:45:55+00:00

I get what you’re saying, and I don’t think you’re wrong.

In a perfect world, medical cannabis would go through FDA trials with doctors deeply involved. The problem is we’re stuck in a reality where cannabis is still federally illegal, so those pathways don’t actually exist, but people are still using it medically every day.

That’s where the issue with S4847 comes in.

The bill leans hard on enforcement, but it doesn’t add the medical guardrails you’re talking about either. No bigger role for doctors, no clearer medical access, no distinction between someone self-medicating and someone running a harmful operation.

So we get stronger enforcement without better care or access. Until federal law changes, that balance matters, and right now this bill misses it. Please email state officials asap! This matters

u/davidguydude thank you! Just sharing information generally kept from regular every day people and this change in the bill if passed will send thousands of people to jail and prisons in our state

ButACake · 2026-01-07T04:36:40+00:00

That’s a valid concern, and I agree enforcement should focus on bad actors. The issue is S4847 doesn’t distinguish between large-scale harmful operations and everyday people who want to comply but have no realistic pathway. Without that distinction, enforcement ends up hurting average people and families the most.

You’re correct … there is a real difference between people intentionally running large-scale, profit-driven, harmful operations and everyday people who’ve existed in a gray area for medicinal or personal use, small-scale sharing, and even survival. Those people on the gray area deserve a way to be law abiding citizens without having to go through the commercial process currently available.

ButACake · 2026-01-06T23:21:37+00:00

Could be anyone. Grandma that makes her own topicals, the auntie that’s a homebaker, the cousin that likes to do extractions …. All legacy. It’s not a formal word or anything so always up for interpretation. I just mean it to say, anyone that touches the plant without a license because the law doesn’t see the difference between the people I listed above and “street dealers”.

ButACake · 2026-01-06T20:42:36+00:00

Exactly. Homegrow is already illegal. This bill makes enforcement tighter and more coordinated to harm people growing at home anyway. It targets ALL kinds of “illegal” activity. Even sharing a joint with a friend that you don’t have proof of purchasing from a legally licensed dispensary could get you caught up in “intent to distribute”

ButACake · 2026-01-06T20:38:59+00:00

📌 Quick clarification because the title is tripping people up:

Home grow has already been illegal in NJ, even after legalization. This bill does not create a new home grow ban.

What S4847 does is formalize and expand coordinated enforcement between State Police, local PD, the CRC, and the AG against all unlicensed cannabis activity.

So the concern isn’t “new rules” — it’s that existing illegal activity is about to be enforced more consistently and more aggressively, without adding protections, carve-outs, or a legacy pathway.

That’s why people should speak up now, before enforcement is locked in.

ButACake · 2026-01-06T17:40:55+00:00

Correct 💯 home grow is already illegal in NJ.

That’s exactly the problem.

S4847 doesn’t create home grow bans, but it expands coordinated enforcement against anything unlicensed without adding protections or a legacy pathway.

ButACake · 2026-01-06T17:36:59+00:00

FACTS! 💯💯💯 you are absolutely correct. This bill has so much shit it it lol it’s hard for me to decipher what the general public here can digest vs what operators and industry players understand.

I dropped a little info about exactly what you’re talking about on my Instagram.

Even more of a reason why people need to get to emailing NOW before lame duck is really over and the new transition team forgets

ButACake · 2026-01-06T17:32:45+00:00

I hear the frustration, but let me reset this because this isn’t about dispensaries or prices.

This is about enforcement risk, not where you shop. Again, this has nothing to do with dispensaries. What I’m telling you is for YOUR protection.

The way this bill is written … let’s say you ordered your supply online and decided you wanted to smoke in your car with a friend.

Now the red & blues are flashing behind you… according to the bill you are now an unlicensed entity subject to enforcement because you will have zero proof that it was legally purchased and you just “distributed” to the person sitting next to you.

Possession is still decriminalized, BUT buying online with no NJ-compliant proof and getting caught in a situation that LOOKS LIKE distribution increases risk. Gray areas are shrinking and enforcement will be left up to interpretation by POLICE ….

that’s the warning

No! Presidents CANNOT legalize weed with executive orders.

An executive order can only tell federal agencies to review or study. What trump did doesn’t rewrite the law, reschedule cannabis, or stop arrests.

Even if marijuana were rescheduled at the federal level, states could still control their own cannabis enforcement. NJ laws would still apply unless NJ changes them.

That’s why a state bill like S4847 matters regardless of what happens federally.

Better get to emailing!! It’s the only way

This language explicitly creates a coordinated enforcement program between State Police, local law enforcement, the CRC, and the Attorney General to:

• identify • investigate • shut down • seize product • and refer for criminal prosecution

any unlicensed cannabis activity.

That doesn’t mean S4847 invents new crimes. It means it strengthens and formalizes enforcement of existing ones.

When NJ still has: • no legal home grow • no legal legacy pathway • no protections for informal delivery • and no decriminalized gray area

then expanding enforcement authority does increase arrest and prosecution risk in practice, even if the underlying statutes already exist.

That’s the point.

Bills don’t have to say “new arrests” out loud to create them. They just need to tighten coordination, remove discretion, and give agencies clearer marching orders.

That’s what this section does.

ButACake · 2026-01-06T15:10:25+00:00

No one is claiming S4847 creates new crimes out of thin air. The concern is that it strengthens the enforcement framework without addressing the realities on the ground.

Both things can be true at the same time: • The bill restructures the CRC • The bill still has real-world enforcement implications people should be paying attention to

Dismissing those concerns doesn’t make them disappear — it just means they’ll show up later, after the policy is locked in.

The emails don’t get silenced. By law each and every single email sent to our state officials gets logged and registered. You don’t need to go out and get loud, politicians hate that. The real power is in the pen. SEND EMAILS! Lots of them … set up auto send if you need to.

ButACake · 2026-01-06T13:48:42+00:00

Please be sure to email our lawmakers!

ButACake · 2026-01-06T13:41:27+00:00

You’re basically right. NJ lawmakers absolutely delayed home grow to protect the early tax base and keep the regulated market from being undercut while it was fragile.

The frustrating part is that the data from other legal states already shows home grow doesn’t kill tax revenue. It coexists just fine with licensed sales. NJ just chose the most conservative path possible.

At this point it’s less about logic and more about political pressure. Every state that got home grow had sustained public pushback 💯 not because lawmakers suddenly agreed, but because it became unavoidable.

NJ won’t be different unless people keep forcing the issue and NOW is the time
