New York Agrees To Legalize Recreational Marijuana | NBC News NOW
Weed being a gateway drug is just objectively false. Conservatives should take a look at how painkillers and other opiates are gateway drugs to OTHER opiates lol. Nobody consumes THC then turns around and says, let me try opiates. No, they consume opiates and then want more OPIATES. (i.e. heroin)
I remember this guy in Highschool. He lost his part time job and his girlfriend was starting to get disinterested in him and he resorted to selling pot. Tough times.
As New York is looking to collect money from the legalization of cannabis they should be held liable for cases of CIP and the associated costs of dealing with it.
🐷🐽🐖🥯🍩🌰🍪🍩🐷🐖🐽
The gateway drug argument always seemed off to me, if you smoke weed your more likely to try another drug vs someone who doesn’t very true but that doesn’t take into account that the person who smoked wants to put a substance into their body regardless what’s available, it’s not the weed that makes someone want to do another drug it’s the person
Its only labeled as a gateway drug because the government lies and categorize it in the same level as heroin and worse than cocaine really enough of the lies living of people misery now want to cash in and only one to sell is conected to government legalize period alcohol is 10 times harder mind altering man made substance than the God given plant ..
No more arrests for pot just arresting people’s pockets for pot FOH
French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday announced that a ‘limited lockdown’ will be imposed across the nation to curb the spread of coronavirus disease (Covid-19.Y’all should develop an online income means and focus more on bitcoin. I have been into bitcoin for a while now.
New York better be careful or they will start having the same problems that Colorado has…
Oh wait, Colorado has less problems than most other states since the legalized cannabis in 2012!!!
Seriously, after 100 years of completely unjust prohibition laws it is time to celebrate!
Now I guess for the next 18 months only black And Hispanic people are gonna get locked up from weed until the legislation completely passes the bill I can almost guarantee that
Lmao wow
Good.. how can I get a grant to start a dispensary?
We need a cookies store out here, please lol
#GoNewYork
WHOLE EAST COAST is going green.
I need Federal legalization so everybody can just eat a f****** pot gummy and calm the f*** down.
NY legislation: Well we’ve been stuck inside, and we’re going to be stuck inside for probably another year…ah what the heck let’s give the New Yorkers something that’ll help them pass the time! And OUR time!
They expect us to forgive them because they legalize now?? How about you dont legalize it and decriminalize it you P.o.s
The weed they’re showing is mid like show some good weed this trash weed isn’t worthy of the news
This is so dumb…
This Country is going down big time, and it’s really upsetting.
Meanwhile in Uk…
Can you talk to the UK to legalise adult recreational use please 🇬🇧😂😂😂
LOL Cuomo is so desperate…sorry buddy, but I am still buying my one-way ticket to my home country out of this godforsaken state
To ask *directly* and get a *simple* answer, does marijuana treat depression and anxiety? Do people with either or both do pot to be at peace and feel less stress? I know very little about drugs and I’m working on a short story where my miserable teenage character does *_some_* kind of drug he shouldn’t.
Trying be Amsterdam lol 😂
Cuomo is like “These mf’s need weed so they can forget about all the allegations against me. This should help my approval rating also!” Yeah right. BOYCOTT THIS MAN!
"you’re too late Spiderman WEED has been LEGALIZED!"
– the Green Goblin
In 2020 NY closed my gym and left all the weed/smoke shops open for 6 months
All this was done for my "health and saftey"
Hoping to be able to go south to florida someday without being harassed at the border
Cuomo is pushing anything in hopes NY will forget he was the reason why so many senior citizens died of COVID. Do not let him think that.
We had legal weed for a while now in W.D.C. No noticeable problems I could see. Unfortunately, synthetic weed… "Spice" already had a foothold. Very damaging. Very different chemical from Marijuana. Dangerous stuff just so people can evade drug tests for work. Nightmare War on Drugs Insanity.
WHEN WHEN!!!!! I HAVENT SMOKE IN SOOOOOOOOO LONG!
LETS GO
PURRRRR
New York and all other states banned flavored electronic vapes. if you ask them why ? They say we need to protect our kids and generation ( Actual reason to protect Phillip Morris’s profit )
But same New York and other 14 states Legalized using marijuana… So what happend to our kids and generation ? ( Actual reason is to make 350 million dollars state income per year )
People in those states MUST BE more careful when they are driving because there will be many marijuana smokers on the same road who gets high after smoking… Roads are horrible, buildings are horrible, parks are horrible, beaches are horrible sittuation in NYC…Anybody cares ? Only United States of Nobody cares….You know who is the enemy of the USA ? Answer : USA
Only allowed to possess 3 ounces… still gotta strong arm.
Why they rolling up stems in the paper?
I got a friend who says that if you are a gun owner that this legalization for marijuana is bad for you

The tax on legal pot is so high that its going to make black market weed more desirable. I will continue to patronize my guy on the corner.
It maybe to late in my lifetime but I offen think what a loveing peaceful world it would be with weed in it 🌴😎❤️
In the philippines if u use marijuana you are criminal 😔😔
