New York officials reach agreement to legalize marijuana
Weed all about it!
New York State officials have reached a deal to legalize marijuana, legislative sources told The Post on Wednesday — just hours after Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it “essential” to the state’s social and economic well-being.
The reform measures will be included in the laws to be proposed as part of the state budget on April 1, the sources said
The deal would allow New Yorkers over the age of 21 to legally buy and possess up to three ounces of pot for their personal use, with licensed sales to begin by December 2022, sources said.

Infanticide first. They drugs to sear the conscience
Bread and Circuses
...err
Weed and Bread and Circuses
If street is cheaper...after the state taxes it, it’ll be just like prohibition...and peddled underground.
Oh no 🤦🏻♀️
They won’t use the funds wisely.
Just find yourself a nice south window.
Different States have different schemes. I wonder if NY has provisions for cultivation for personal use. That seems to be a big variable in he cost of street weed. Dispensaries will probably get more of the boutique strains, which would be in demand, and unavailable on the streets, except through illicit channels from growers.
Because we don’t have enough potheads killing people on our highways now....
Because contractors need to have even more problems finding drug-free employees. ...
It’s in the article. It does...complicated...
It’s all about the money Cuomo can generate. He said the same thing about same sex marriage...lotsa money in it.
Bread, circuses and dope.
As if NYS wasn’t dopey enough.
The fools will overtax it and since it will become legal a black market will peddle it to avoid taxation. With all the Turd Worlders in Gotham they can expect that to happen for sure. The city has gone to hell anyway so weeding up the inhabitants just adds to its corrupted circus show.
Good.
I’m just here to watch weed Karen heads explode. 🤣
Recreational stoners could even cultivate up to a dozen plants per household
hmmmm, a good bent plant could put you over...
dumbass combover-style repubs have been wrong on weed since day 1 and we’ve all paid dearly as the party has turned off tons of voters over this insignificant issue.
”Because we don’t have enough potheads killing people on our highways now....”
People who before legalization were responsible enough to not use pot because it was illegal, will after legalization be responsible enough to not drive high because it will remain illegal.
“Because contractors need to have even more problems finding drug-free employees. ...”
Contractors need to wise up and stop testing for weeks-ago pot use.
“since it will become legal a black market will peddle it to avoid taxation.”
Whereas now NY users get it from the Pot Fairy?
