Lawmakers announce deal on bill to legalize recreational marijuana in NY
Lawmakers in New York have announced a deal on a bill to legalize, tax and regulate recreational marijuana in New York State.
The State Assembly and the State Senate will vote on the legislation next week.
The legislation would legalize recreational marijuana sales to adults over the age of 21. The bill would also expunge criminal records for anyone with a previous marijuana conviction.
It would also allow users to grow their own plants at home and allows people to possess up to three ounces of cannabis and 24 ounces of cannabis concentrate.

I’m glad it’s better than drinking you know how many family’s and family members would still be alive if weed was legal and not beer, not to forget to mention it helps with ADD ADHD when all you want to do is relax and so chores around the house like laundry,
Finally
ALCOHOL IS WORSE.
Lmao..It only took almost 100 yrs
Why is the white middle aged lady even talking?
Raise your children better or better yet, just don’t reproduce.
It only took corporate Dems and ALL Republicans to allow the state to go completely bankrupt first.
I love marijuana and I’m 16 you guys crazy
Is this lady stupid
1) marijuana does not intoxicate you like for example (alcohol) 2) Its not a drug 3)You should be locked up if you’ve ever spread misinformation about cannabis
Drug dealers get extra charge for selling to children and but children with Medical cards and other benefits because of seizures and epilepsy should be able to buy it fairly
Get your weed card kiss legal gun ownership good bye
*24 grams of concentrate* not oz……I wish it was oz 😂
It’s about time. And release the people arrested for anything to do with possession of Marijuana
Without punish or public scrutiny for having seizures
It’s legal! 🎉 🎈 🎊
Praise "The Lord"
Hahaha
Shut up, you fake as$ parent, her child is probably addicted to skag. Wake up USA, legalize all narcotics. Peace 7
Its good to note opponents reactions to our success
The dislikes are pharmaceutical companies and workers
Well done indeed lawmakers as well as Governor Cuomo thanks for all y’all services stay safe 🇺🇲
hey hey hey heyyyyyy, smoke weed everyday.
Here’s how you fix that. If you’re under 21 and get caught no jail no probation but they still get a ticket just like if you got caught with alcohol. If that lady thinks teens can’t get get alcohol but can easily get pot she’s the one smoking crack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 on a positive note I can’t wait to start growing 🤪😉😉😉😂🤣
This is where parents are gonna have to make sure they pay attention to their children, that’s all.
Dam we can only carry in oz in cali yall got it good 3oz hahah
I hope that bill will go to garbage they trying to destroy our CHILDREN this not freedom this is foolish we have CORONAVIRUS let’s fight that
Legalization of marijuana and medical marijuana
ganja gun
That’s awsome for the people who voted in favor.
If he passes this bill, I’m for putting Cuomo and De Blasio in prison. Chances are, we’ll find out they were sponsored by drug dealers.
People complaining on how kids can easily get weed now because it’s ‘legal’ but even when it was illegal its was still easy to get it
It’s the people’s right not some soccer mom or politicians. I want my freedom back.
This goes to long island officials-Dont be stupid..lets act as if you all have a brain 🧠.1) People will travel further if needed. 2) instead of walking to a dispensery up the street-people will be force to go drive n get it, n believe me they will roll up n drive home smoking.😴3)most important be a good parent n talk to your kids.
It’s all becoming legal because they finally figured how to genetically modify it. Have fun smoking gmo eighths for 60 bucks and stuck inside your house because of the scary virus with a 99.7 survival rate
GOOGLE POT FARMER POEM $$
I got out my pipe and stuffed it with pot
You better believe, it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter and thumbed up a flame
Then sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
I tried alcohol; and smoked cigarettes
Though, they did nothing, but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis and couldn’t walk around
When I rolled her a joint, she danced on the ground.
I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
But, after I smoked some, to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
So I searched for some ground I wouldn’t have to buy.
I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Then, got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where the wild birds nest
And found me the meadow I thought was the best.
I dug up the ground and sowed all my seeds
Then said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
The mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.
Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in my camouflage suit
And used a corn knife to chop down the loot.
I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
Then came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, and stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.
In less than a week my crop was gone
But I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!
THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !

Time to learn how to nurture a green thumb.
Lovely to see indeed first of all no disrespect to the parent PTA but that is definitely not true by making it legal it will be impossible on the grounds that if that was so a lot of dealers would be in jail for selling to children and they would be on the front Page News.
Second of all it’s most likely the children who allegedly had marijuana they most likely stole it from their parents who obviously need to do a better job understanding teaching boundaries as well as understanding how to lock their marijuana up so their children can’t get it from them as well as explain to their children that marijuana is not legal until 21 just like alcohol.🇺🇲💯🤟🏽🌹🤝💜
Its ok if they keep it in the city
Yeah Amen wahoo 💖
Be on the lookout for DUI’s, I have a feeling its gonna go through the roof. Be smart America. Don’t give them a reason to make it illegal again.
They’ll tax and regulate it so high, the black market will prevail.
And shakes
Anyone who believes drug dealers are selling weed without proof to minors is clearly acting in Bad Faith.
What did she say about,”oh drug dealers can now sell to our children!!”. Drug deallers have always been selling to our children, except now your kids dont have to seek out the sketchiest person in their town, they can ask anyone. Are kids have been illegally obtaining and smoking harmfull cigarets starting at very young ages, and now your concerned about cannabis? Lets also make something very clear, the war on drugs was declared by ronald regan specifically to attack people of color, specifically mexicans and black people. Not because he had any evidence or science to back up the claim that weed was bad, he outlawed it because, in his mind he was seeing a huge influx of people of color in america and he didnt like it. So he gave it a funny name marijuna, it sounded mexican, told the american public it was as bad as heroin, put it on the list of bad drugs right next to heroin. With no evidence or science. And if you find me the scoence he saw i wanna read it over thank you. Cannabis should never have been made illegal in the first place. And btw, prohibition, THE prohibition on alcohol in this country that started in 1920. Just a few years prior weed was made illegal, with no evidence to support negative claims. Both were outlawed. Guess which one we re legalized. The one everyone was smuggling, going to speakesys to enjoy. All the way up till 1933 when alchohol was legalized again. But you know what else people were enjoying during prohibition. Weed cause it was also outlawed. So you explane to me why we are ok with drinking alchohol, knowing our kids can easy get to it. 4,300 on average deaths of alchohol poisoning of kids under the age of 21 annually. But you think its more acceptable then weed which hasnt killed a soul.
I am sure that you will find good solutions to all your health problems on the Weedborn website 🙂
The same people who want to opt-out of rec-weed-sales r the same people who are headed to gamble their life away do to ny- legal casinos..lol.smh
No child shall possess marijuana and they get put in juvie for buying to children
Stupid… dumbing down of America continues.
To the stupid ignorant lady at the end saying that it’ll make it easier for children to get weed, all of the studies show that you are dead wrong. All of the studies show that more children smoke cannabis in states where it’s illegal as opposed to legal states. So that entire argument is a complete lie.
Spin, spin, spin the propaganda
This is another Lotto fiasco, gimme for graft and ever increasing, feudal school taxes for another generation of brainwashed, woke idiots who can’t compete in the world job market.
Next scheme, legalization and taxing pedophilia. Why not, sniffy Joe the fraud is filling the market with their commodity coming up over the boarder.
Its illegal to sell to children still
