NY state legalizes recreational Marijuana use
« on: March 31, 2021, 01:05:49 PM »
Cuomo is pulling out all the stops to get people to love him again.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/york-legalizes-recreational-marijuana-expunges-pot-convictions/story%3fid=76775175

Highlights:

  • New York is now the 15th state to allow recreational marijuana for adults.
  • Under the final legislation, New Yorkers will be allowed to possess 3 ounces of marijuana and grow up to three mature pot plants at home, with a limit of six per household.
  • Anyone previously convicted of possessing an amount of marijuana now under the legal limit automatically will be subject to expungement and re-sentencing.
  • Recreational sales might not start until 2022, as the state will take time to establish its regulatory framework.

Well boys, time for me to grow and smoke!

It's amazing they will let you grow your own.

Pot plants get huge.  They grow like a weed.  No need to buy.

This is huge for NY state, as medical Marijuana did not allow for herb sales.

Granted, for a few years now, NYPD were no longer arresting folks for smoking Marijuana in the streets, mostly a $50 fine if you didn't put it out when asked by officers.

Just remember if you get drug tested at work, you can still lose your job. Even if you are legally consuming it.

They need reform on that silly rule too.

Liked that stopped anyone in NYC from smoking before.  You could smell weed around any corner in nyc.

That’s crazy. Can you be fired for showing up to work drunk?

I have always thought medical professionals should be high when performing intense surgeries (so the stress is removed).

Who the fuck they think they are to tell you what you're 'allowed' to do? Act like they're doing you some big favor, giving you permission. Screw off.

They never had grounds to ban. This permission assumes an authority they never had. It's like a thief who stole your car expecting you to say thank you when he brings it back. It was never yours, asshole.

I don't even like weed and don't use any other illegal drugs.

Exactly how I feel, the audacity to dictate what you can do, especially with an innocent plant growing out of the ground! :D

I'm not impressed by most stoners but the weed high can be beautiful, man. It makes you stop and take in the present moment :D

It's pretty damn blatant.  Didn't he just announce free $27K for undocumented workers as well?  Playing to the lowest common denominator for sure.

I'm not judging but you have that Valium script, right?  :D

I'm seeing a lot of industry people on IG celebrating so and so many years of sobriety, meanwhile being on multiple narcotics. I'm all for doing drugs if it helps but some people have a weird concept of sobriety. Like PJ Braun who one day promotes Kratom and the next is celebrating sobriety.

It's New York state, where you need a license to do everything, including giving a manicure, lol. The state, which I lived in for a while, tries to mandate every aspect of life and the Stockholm syndrome residents keep voting for more restrictions. The reason Cuomo pushed the marijuana legislation is because he is now running for his political life and is trying to curry favor.

Alchohol is legal but if you showed up to work drunk you can also lose your job. That's why it's called recreational drugs and not occupational

Never smoked pot.

Never did any recreational drug.

Never been drunk.

Strongly try to avoid people too weak to handle life clean and sober.

Hard rock and metal and heavy iron is Fortress’ buzz

It’s the fun I have.

Hail and kill.

The difference being you could have smoked several days ago or upwards to a few weeks even and still "fail" a drug test.

Those people aren't showing up to work high or impaired and business/government should have little say in what people do on their free time

Oddly enough laws banning things are often the result of the will of the people.

The driving force of the Prohibition movement was various religious organizations, who believed that less alcohol consumption would decrease the amount of crime, spousal abuse, and raise the overall amount of piety in America. ... The prohibition and women's suffrage movements created an alliance.

I would like to think the school bus driver wasnt wasted in the morning.

if you are in a position of trust dealing with peoples lives then its not that unreasoinable to drug test staff

Although I believe people on welfare should also be tested so we know they are not sat at home being paid to get wasted.
