That's wild to me. Not sure how I feel about it. Overall I like the idea of things not being criminal, HOWEVER, I do think some of the harder drugs cause such a loss of mental state that you are more prone to criminal activity. I dunno.
Its just so people addicted can get help from doctors and rehabilitation instead of jail

Finally good news comes in bad year

But, they say there is no chance it will pass in the Republican majority US Senate.

ICYMI: “The consensus of voters is clear. They do not want their fellow citizens targeted, arrested, and prosecuted for possessing marijuana, and these enforcement practices need to cease immediately." NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano

Rip Spencer Boston

This man right here was a legend. He was fighting for marijuana rights, for what he believed in, but sadly passed away a few days ago in a car accident, he was still young and dedicated over the last year being in jail and in court fighting for legalization, but nobody knew it would be his last year on this earth. We just wanted to give a shout out to Spencer Boston he was a soldier for his beliefs and an avid fan of pot. Respect to this man. RIP

"The findings of this study add to the growing body of evidence that easier access to cannabis for patients with pain may reduce opioid use and partially offset expenditures for both public and private drug plans.”

“People are starting to see the nonsense of this whole prohibition 2.0 as I would call it,” says Ann Caughran, the vice chair of NC NORML. “It’s exciting to see that there might be change, that there’s certainly change all around us.”

Good for NJ shops actually open much more NYC that go to cross the border to buy legal cannabis. Should had happened before I started AZ legalized thread. No surprise It took this long.
""It’s a big day for New Jersey, but legal controlled cannabis is not available yet,” said Chris Goldstein, a spokesman for #NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. “There are several things that must happen first. At least we’ll finally see an end to prohibition. But justice won’t be realized until the arrests actually stop.”

Implementation of legislative proposals seeking to legalize & regulate the adult-use #marijuana market in #NewYork state would yield over $700M in tax revenue & create over 50,000 jobs by 2027, according to estimates provided in a new economic analysis.

Where's Scotty?

Legal in NY. We will be able to grow but not until they establish a cannabis board and say it's ok. Probably at least a year out from adult use dispensaries.

Congrats NY! NH continues to pointlessly resist legalizing as all bordering states have switched over. All liquor here is sold by state owned stores 🙄.

On a trip through Farmington, Maine recently I passed about a dozen stores within a couple of miles. I was amazed.
