Unfortunate for people who just want to walk down the street without smelling the stuff.

Is driving under the influence of pot even illegal?

Can police even test for it like alcohol ?

Just like cigarettes. I have to confess that the smell of marijuana, for me, is nowhere near as bad as the smell of cigarettes (I like the smell of cigars). It’s also significantly milder.

No, I’ve not touched Mary Jane since 1977.

Wait, what?

BATFE doesn’t care if it is legal in your state and prohibits gun sales and if you lie on the form can prosecute, unless you are Hunter Biden.

You can say the same about tobacco smoke. Criminalize the ultimate negative effects. Like car accidents caused by intoxicated drivers. Or those who use guns to murder. Not The objects. People have the right to liberty. Misuse would be the crime.

So... cigarettes are bad and to be taxed 500% to "discourage" smoking and not be sold to minors but smoking marijuana is good. Got it. Makes perfect sense to hypocrites.

The State of New York just publicly declared that cigarette smoking is not bad and as such the taxes need to removed.

After the initial harrumph, I imagine things will settle down, much as they did in Amsterdam. It shouldn’t take long for the social rules, etiquette, to evolve.

And the biggest anti-marijuana push will be to get minors to refrain from using it, with the simple logic that marijuana makes you stupid and slow.

One of the most effective such PSAs was a one hit wonder music video, called “Because I was high”, by Afroman. It seems to be a pro drug song until you realize that it is a lamentation that he missed out on the good things in life because of marijuana use.

Of course, there is a caveat to this that Democrats run New York, and they are masters at ruining things that should be useful, beneficial, and reasonable.

As a kid I used to smoke pot but that phase had long ended. Last year I tried one of my friend’s gummies they use for pain management. The THC in it sent me for a loopy trip. Not for me anymore. A little buzz from the wine now and then is about my limit for a ‘high’.

[SaxxonWoods]

Well, that will slow them down.

People can immediately possess up to 3 ounces, and it's legal to smoke in public.

But if you pull down your mask to inhale, you will be shot by the NYPD. Be sure to get the bong with oxygen mask attachment when smoking on the street.

[NWFree]

Big deal - we can have 8 ounces (half pound) of just the flower plus other derivatives in my red state.

[Political Junkie Too]

Legal to possess, but what about to sell?

Where are they going to get it?

This will surely solve all of New York’s problems.

[I want the USA back]

And they have started the “vaccine passport”.

[1Old Pro]

Maybe they should legalize fracking.

[BeauBo]

That was quite sudden.

Three hours of debate (at night) and signed by the Governor in the morning.

[jonascord]

What’s the big deal? I like my prey stoned...

[Brilliant]

Forget about those extra large sugary sodas though.

[Mr. Blond]

Can you drink in public?

I take water soluble CBD occasionally to help sleep and for minor pain. That said, I happened to be on the other side of town getting lunch and saw a CBD store advertising “Now Selling Delta 8”. Out of curiosity, I went in to see what Delta 8 is… I did not know, and was very surprised to see, they are now basically selling legalized recreational marijuana (available in most states) – just not as potent as the legalized medical (Delta 9). - Delta-8 THC
