Marijuana Legalization

Have you tried the vodka brand that comes in juice box that looks like it's Hi-C? Or the new 'Capri Stun', that mixes gin with the juice? They're delicious! And aren't confusing or marketed to kids at all....

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law this week that now legalizes adult, recreational-use marijuana in the state.

Advocates for criminal justice reform hope it will also help redress the inequities of a system that has locked up people of color for marijuana offenses at disproportionate rates.

Discussions to legalize marijuana in the Empire State have been on-going for year. Could legalization be close to happening?

The governors from several Northeastern states say they want to work together to regulate marijuana and vaping.

Legalization in Illinois also means that nearly 800,000 people with criminal records for purchasing or possessing 30 grams of marijuana or less may have those records expunged.

Cuomo and top lawmakers insist there's still time to legalize marijuana, or to strengthen rent regulations before New York City's rent stabilization rules expire this summer.

Education advocates are urging New York lawmakers to leave the discussion of recreational marijuana out of the state budget process.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday he's "no longer confident" an agreement to legalize recreational marijuana in New York will be included in the state budget that's due by April 1, raising the possibility that approval of retail sales of pot won't get passed by the Legislature this year.
