Your taxpayer dollars are set to go up in smoke.

Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to roll out the green carpet for budding pot dealers with a scheme to let them dip into the public purse to start businesses when the state legalizes marijuana.

I hope my home sells soon so that I can move out of NYC and out from under any influence of this economy-sized anal orifice. First of all, I do NOT want a penny of my tax dollars going to facilitate people growing pot. I do not want pot legalized, so that I have to share the road with drugged up idiots drifting into my lane or misjudging distances under the influence and slamming into my car. They are already champions of that here in NYC, and there is not a distinct need to facilitate them doing so. Also, please note that RIGHT AWAY, commie DumblASSio has to attack the "1%" and single out his beloved ghetto thugs as deserving an unencumbered shot at the big bucks to be made growing and selling dope. The commie wants making it possible for people to dope themselves out of reality "an agent of economic justice". Not for them is the tried and true method of working hard to get what they want---he wants his ghetto thugs HANDED a living.

I wonder if religious groups will file a suit against using public tax monies to fund growing dope and facilitating its use. And sure, they will ban its sale to kids less than 18, but does anyone believe that this will be enforced? This is exactly what the soulless dummocraps want---everyone to be drugged up so they won't notice what their dummocrap politicians are doing with their tax dollars. A populace of the pathetic, who need to dull their senses and drug themselves silly just to get through the day. Our enemies will clap their hands with glee at the prospect of just walking in and taking over while the druggies exchange, "Hey man, whaaaat?" as the only response they are capable of. This is the way to maintain the U.S. as a great nation, right? Encourage everyone to drug themselves senseless.

De Blasio is like my stoner friends in their 50s and 60s. All they’ve thought of since they were kids in the ‘60s and ‘70s is pot being legal. It’s been a decades-long obsession with them.

The rest of us have had more important things to worry about, and really couldn’t care less.

Is this guy mentally retarded or is he scamming the tax payers?

Why should the government need to subsidize pot growers when NYC could sell growing and distribution licenses out for 500K a pop and have 300 people in line the next day to buy one.

Some will say it would keep the ‘small guy’ out, but the ‘small guy’ will just partner with other ‘small guys’ pool money together and buy one as well.

This guy is DUMB or a crook

Maybe Bill de Blasio makes more sense if you’re stoned.

Just kidding.

I do not understand how NYC can vote for him. He makes Bloomberg look like a centrist. (pretty much just kidding there, too).

the reason he wants it is because the govenrment gets to tax the crap out of pot once it’s up and running

DeBlasio will give every dollar to "MINORITY" and "IMMIGRANT" "entrepreneurs". Because RACIST investors who expect bigoted, white-privilegly things like "a business plan" and "profits" won't give it to them!

Yeah, that's exactly why Cuomo wants it, too. He sees it as a cash cow and as a way to ingratiate himself to the millennial voters. So the MTA gets fixed by stoning the public and turning NYC into a bunch of drugged out zombies. That's the only way they could raise the necessary money. Never mind ditching the sanctuary city and sanctuary state statuses and kicking out the worthless illegals feeding heavily off the taxpayer teat...no, they have to drug the public and put everyone at risk of increased traffic accidents, industrial accidents, medical accidents, etc.

Almost makes me want to wish his entire progeny gets hooked on pot or worse. Because he is promoting that behavior, so he should suffer the consequences 10-fold. Just another sick lib.

What kind of potheads has De Blasio hired? They need $10 million bucks to grow some weeds? Sounds like your typical big government operation.

Sounds like a great idea to people who have been smoking pot for 40 years.

You are correct of course. But you will see “Oreo” entrepreneurs by the dozen, black on the outside white on the inside.

After watching a documentary about re introducing oysters into the NYC harbor area I would say one of dipstick’s priorities should be increasing the sewage treatment capabilities for the city.
