The boys in blue are free to smoke some green in the Garden State.
Off-duty police officers in New Jersey are allowed to get high on the state’s legal weed without facing discipline, according to acting Attorney General Matthew Platkin.
Platkin sent a memo to police chiefs Wednesday detailing the policy — which allows officers 21 and older to consume cannabis in all forms while off the job — a week before recreational pot hits the shelves in the state, according to the memo.
“[Police departments] may not take any adverse action against any officers because they do or do not use cannabis off duty,” the memo states, as a reminder to comply with the Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy.
The memo adds that a weed-tainted urine test isn’t cause for firing a cop.
