Kinnelon police said long-term effects of chemically-altered marijuana are still unknown.

Penalties of being caught in possession of the drug include a fine of up to $25,000 and a possible three- to five-year prison term. With the ban, according to New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa, synthetic marijuana will continue to be …
