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.

That because they want to keep arresting blacks they realize once they make it legal jails will not be filled
whoo elseon August 13, 2019 at 10:30 pm
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.

LEGALIZE IT NY!!!!!

Legalization should be NYs number one priority
Augustus Stoneon August 13, 2019 at 10:35 pm
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.
Willisthehyon August 13, 2019 at 10:35 pm
Omg why would people not want that omg they’re 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.

Joe Hon August 13, 2019 at 10:41 pm
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!

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.

People who want to smoke weed are already smoking it. Let them grow it themselves so they know what they’re getting.

Nick Moraitison August 13, 2019 at 10:53 pm
Someone’s not being bribed enough so legalization gets tanked. Nice!
Justice For-All312on August 13, 2019 at 10:56 pm
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.

cody minecrackon August 13, 2019 at 11:11 pm
We have medicinally legal over here in pa. It’s 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 who’s going through cancer stuff that’s gotten really bad. The amount of hoops you have to jump through makes me violently ill. She can’t 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 ‘them’ for a change. Just legalize this damn plant and end the headache already. I’m no fan of cannabis myself. I personally think it’s 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. Водка помогает.

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.
