    Too bad black people are still out for revenge on whites ๐Ÿ˜†
    Holding pot legislation hostage.

    Lol ny doesnโ€™t have the climate for growing cannabis. Winters are too cold summers are too hot and humid. You can grow but itโ€™ll be trash. Only option is indoors and your high electric and horrible infrastructure will kill that along with your outdated expensive oil. If you think youโ€™re gonna grow in ny think again, only major corporations will be successful. The politicians need to setup their friends for kick backs before it gets approved

    Just do it

    Marijuana is not really illegal to grow or sell, itโ€™s the system they just want to control everything, mostly control the wealth.



  5. tim kahn on May 14, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    a big thing is how much is not spent putting people busted for weed in jail . in the u s a last year along over half a million people got busted. its not free having a wrong headed prohibition.

    The money is green like the cannabis and it doesn’t hurt people like alcohol it’s a no-brainer. A nanny state oh Government please can I do this can I do that such nonsense free country my ass hole.

    Weed is a psychoactive substance. It’s very harmless and if your already suffering from skitzophrenia or psychosis than you shouldn’t smoke it in the first place. Considering your in a psychological state of hallucinations and paranoia. Which could makes weed side effects worse. People really don’t understand weed, and it sucks that people keep trying to make it seem bad. Alcohol and Tobacco are very harmful substances. Both can cause mental problems and health problems or even death to selves or others. Let that sink in.

  13. mopthermopther on May 14, 2021 at 7:02 pm

    Marijuana is a bourgeois tool to keep the proletariat indolent.



  14. Subway Series on May 14, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    Sad that Cuomo is just using legalization as leverage in his campaign.



  15. delusive insanity on May 14, 2021 at 7:04 pm

    legalizing marijuana can save NY from debt, it can feed, shelter the homeless and rescue animals, secure our education system, it could create thousands of jobs and could save our environment from pollution. theres many reasons on why they should and to make life better for people who are unable to find work due to marijuana. its a simple plant grown from simple soil and water anybody could grow a plant its not rocket science. you dont have to boil weed stir it up put it in the microwave…… weed is as natural as it gets its grown from the ground. its gods gift to humans , wouldnt be here if god didnt want us to smoke it

    If pot is a money grab- great!! Grab it up! Its the red light cameras that are the real money grab.



  22. Alan Roberts on May 14, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    If cannabis is legalized for recreational use then people would be able to grow their own. Cultivating marijuana for yourself is the only way to know what kind of nutrients are going into it.



  23. MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CANNABIS 65 on May 14, 2021 at 7:10 pm

    Cannabis is becoming legalized worldwide recreational
