New report details failures of New York's legal cannabis market rollout

A new report released Friday says the cannabis rollout in New York state was a failure. According to a review that was ordered by Gov. Kathy Hochul, inexperienced leadership and an underspent budget are just a few of several missteps by the Office of Cannabis Management. CBS New York political reporter Marcia Kramer has the story.

    Legalize cannabis federally now. What’s legal to possess and consume in over half of the populated areas of The United States should not make you a criminal in states still being governed by woefully ignorant prohibitionist politicians. Cannabis consumers in all states deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!………………..

    Reverse the laws back to medical only. And that will stop all this illegal sales.

    Cannabis should be absolutely just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. In every single state. No exceptions. It’s so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational, stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?…..
