Marijuana now legal in NY after Cuomo signs bill

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill legalizing recreational marijuana Wednesday, making New York the 15th state to do so after lawmakers approved the sweeping measures Tuesday.

The bill makes it legal to possess small amounts of pot, launches programs to help communities that bore the brunt of the national and state drug war, and eventually allow marijuana sales to people over the age of 21.

    So do I still have to take a drug test for marijuana ?

    Ya are too hyped😭 eighths in shops are gonna be $80 a eighth $565 or more a ounce. Big Corps are gonna monopolize the market with the help of the feds so they all get the big dollars. Cops can still search your vehicle nd having weed without receipt or legal packaging is still illegal.

  25. Woody Allen on June 14, 2021 at 7:52 pm

    My hope is that all lowlifes who get stoned die soon. Almost as a way to help with overpopulation. I don’t apologize for sounding blunt. Oh…. and also for the bad (good?) pun.

  33. Cosmopolis Nouvelle on June 14, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    whistl living on Thompson & Spring back in 2010 a fire broke out in a building down the street, unfortunately a cool photographer not only had her apartment wiped-out because of another tenant accidentally starting the fire, her whole stash of plants went up in smoke and she was arrested…… I know she has a story to tell. Keep the peace and remain high New York!

    Don’t fall for growing it. They’re saying 2024 or 25. Good way to make millions off people thinking they can grow



  41. CJ Russ on June 14, 2021 at 8:13 pm

    Honestly, I think New York should have coffee shops like Amsterdam. Good for tourists too.



  42. Rob Sterling on June 14, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    How nice of NY to finally legalize herb in NY, but your right to bear arms is being infringed upon.



  43. 40 Love on June 14, 2021 at 8:14 pm

  49. WillGaming on June 14, 2021 at 8:17 pm

    Most of the people in power are pure evil. I dont trust them. They condemn pot smokers as if they are satan himself, and now expect us to forgive them for making a plant illegal? F them
