So legal marajuana is really that important to NY, out of all the other important issues, that it’s a top priority.

This is a good thing. Anyone interested in acquiring marijuana right now is able to, easily. Why let neighboring states reap the benefits.

Yup. They can cloak it as a "justice" issue but it's about $. NJ, MA and Canada (3 borders) legalized it. Learn a lesson from Massachusetts and their old blue laws. People flooded across the border to New Hampshire for Sunday booze and while there bought a gun, ammo, tattoos, smokes, gas and soon enough NH slapped up tax free designer outlets and malls for their shop happy neighbors. MA took a bath for their puritanical leanings. NY already the red tape capital of the world. Might as well start legalizing now. We should have a dispensary open and running by 2030.

Doesn't seem to bother them when the neighbor states reap the benefits of lower costs for cigarettes, gas, clothes and food...

I know right? I would have went with school choice, unemployment upstate, the boondoggle that the MTA and Port Authority are. But who knew it was smoking pot.

Normally I’d agree but, with NJ going forward and the legislature turning Democratic, it’s gonna happen.
