Marijuana legalization stalled in New York and New Jersey as support dwindles
Just a few months ago, New York and New Jersey appeared to be on the way to legalizing recreational marijuana. Now, efforts in both states appear to be falling apart. Vivian Wang, a reporter for the New York Times, has covered the issue and joins CBSN with more.
FAKE NEWS!
That because they want to keep arresting blacks they realize once they make it legal jails will not be filled
If it goes legal, that means no more arresting black folks & im sure they both dont want that to happen. Thats how greasy NY & NJ is.
Greed often gets in the way of progress
LEGALIZE IT NY!!!!!
Legalization should be NYs number one priority
OMG blackberry kush. The sweetness of it. The smell and taste. I don’t mind being a sober guy smelling heaven everywhere I go. Better than watching druggies and junkies. Need to avoid hardcore drugs and need to do heavy crackdown on it. Cannabis is safer by far than any other drugs. Might as well legalize and avoid the harm and cause of junkies. Just watching people fall, it’s sickening and hurts a lot. Need to avoid it and have countermeasures to avoid people getting hurt from drugs, besides its better than having all these meds with all these side effects.
Omg why would people not want that omg theyβre stupid
As most of you know, I volunteer with church groups to identify and cure people of the marijuana epidemic that is ravaging our great nation. There are people on this thread that have clearly fallen prey to this insidious hard core drug. With the HOAs blessing I would like to start an intervention, with the HOA approved bible of course. We will need to set up a location away from our beloved community as these interventions can become violent when an addict isn’t ready to accept the lord and savior into their lives. God bless all HOA members and never give up this necessary fight.
What a joke Murphy is.. We gotta wait until 2020 election ..it will be on the ballet when u vote for the president… Doesn’t matter though the black market prices are still cheaper…
NJ sucks.. Murphy u suck.. πππππ
I failed a drug test for a job n was told come back in 90DAYS! But I can go buy guns and prescription pills as I please. Why is a natural growing plant illegal
Just as I suspected a year ago…. the greedy thieving New York State politicians would be squabbling over who will get the MONEY for the next ten years!
How to use the money hmm lets see,Fix the damn roads, Fund school systems etc.
I will smoke anyways.π
$neaky Scumbag Cuomo used legalization only to get elected now backtracking as predicted.
We need to start forums about this topic and do non violent protest how does quam and Illinois come out the blue and get approved but we been fighting for years on this topic being from NYC and now living in nj
Illegalize alcohol, legalize weed. And boom, less problems
New bill introduced to NYS Congress, looks like it will pass the Assembly and it MAY pass the senate, once the 2 or 3 senators blocking it realize that everyone else is voting for it.
We do provide high quality medical marijuana and vapes DM if you need some +19203415377 call or WhatsApp
People who want to smoke weed are already smoking it. Let them grow it themselves so they know what they’re getting.
But they legalize killing babies!!!
The war on weeds. Dandelions are next.
Legalize it
Someoneβs not being bribed enough so legalization gets tanked. Nice!
Legalizing it would only help stop the unjust arrests for marijuana.
Now they will be able to continue to criminalize people that get caught with it.
don’t believe the hype CBS is a anti marijuwana new group

Gee thanks a lot _black people_
If God put it on this planet it should be able to be used.

My body my choice
THANKS GUYS!!! Now I can CONTINUE to suffer with chronic fatigue and CONTINUE to not be able to do anything I used to like to do due to a brain injury while sledding! THANKS USELESS MONSTERS! π
This china girl said she wants white males dead, she should be taken off the show
This lady is a racist pig. She should not be on TV show or working for NY times.
We have medicinally legal over here in pa. Itβs crap, yea total garbage. It literally takes 9 weeks just for me to become a caregiver and receive my card. Taking care of my mother whoβs going through cancer stuff thatβs gotten really bad. The amount of hoops you have to jump through makes me violently ill. She canβt eat, sleep, or use the bathroom without pain. 4 months to receive a card that we needed 5 months ago. Had to resort to.. illegal means.
The crime is done by our government when they restrict people from getting the medicine that they desperately need. I hope someone sues the crap out of βthemβ for a change. Just legalize this damn plant and end the headache already. Iβm no fan of cannabis myself. I personally think itβs a disgusting habit (yea, yea I down straight vodka not the point lol).
I guess Pennsylvania will just have to wait till 2032. We will be the last state to legalize; think about it really. Too many Dutchy Amish like folk not ready to embrace change over here. I ask around, morale is low. My 2 cents on this… I have a date with a bottle. ΠΠΎΠ΄ΠΊΠ° ΠΏΠΎΠΌΠΎΠ³Π°Π΅Ρ.
Ptas are stupid
Political leaders in New York and New Jersey are dragging their feet on marijuana legalization issues.
Guns are legal weed isnβt
Fire them old people; get a new state Congress.
CAN WE JUST LEGALIZE IT ALREADY!!! WE’VE WANTED LEGALIZATION FOR YEARS CAN WE JUST DO THIS!!!!!
Sad how people are still doing time for bud in NY and NJ. In Cali they get all the fun in the sun. Meanwhile on the east coast you go to jail for the same stuff. They can even open stores out there… NJ & NY is my home but right now they wack AF!
I hate new York everyone is getting weed from somewhere mine as well legalize it cause ima just go get it anyway also all you can do is take it away that’s about it
How much is that so called "journalist" being paid to advertise that Special K cereal over her top left shoulder (right side to us viewing) ?????
So they arenβt doing it because the money wonβt go to βthe blacksβ? Seems racist
Love it!
somebody isn’t getting their cut, or what they think should be their cut, so Nobody Gets Anything. that is the mentality of an 8 year old. Legal Weed generates HUGE Amounts of Money, ahem, 10million in tax revenue in the first month it was legal in Colorado. Huge $$
Romaine Lettuce has killed more people in the last 20 years than Weed.
CBD is a great alternative/additive to pain meds and seizure meds. (You should still stay on your RXs if your issues are uncontrollable)
Sativa would be the strain that would be like your Red Bull energy drink and Indica would be like say, your Over The Counter Excedrin PM products? Marijuana is legal medically but not recreationally in Ohio.
New York is such an oppressive place to live.
Murphy u won’t get my vote every again.. You are a typical lieing banker..
