Gov. Cuomo: 'Let's legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana'

[Bigfoot]

NEW YORK (WBEN) -- "New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is singing a different tune these days on legal pot."

"Last year, the governor was firmly against legalization. Now, he's including it in his agenda for the 2019 legislative session."

Gov. Cuomo: 'Let's legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana'

"In addition to pot, Cuomo also called for an end to cash bail, and wants to pass New York's DREAM Act to offer tuition subsidies to undocumented immigrants. He wants to make Election Day a state holiday."

Whichever the way the liberal wind blows.

Makes it easier to slowly disarm and sweep away your rights keeping peasants under control with chemical and natural drugs

 

[Kwalsh]

He is looking at all that taxable income he can steal.... i mean use for upstates benefit

 

[S&W Fan]

God damn, the pusher man.

 

[Karpteach]

I think it’s a good idea. These jackasses smoke the shit anyways. This way you tax it and make it legal. It’s almost like drinking alcohol. Tax the crap outta them.

 

[stokes]

Its gonna happen with or without Cuhomo.I just hope they dont put any shops near me.In Leicester Mass,where they opened one of the first recreational use shops,the town is in an uproar over the massive traffic thats associated with the shop.

I agree with above posts. It’s thenliberal drive and the tax revenue. I think the did such a good job with getting people to quit smoking that they lost so much tax revenue that they are now scrambling for it.

It would probably be easier to just slip people roofies at the voting booth.

Yeah. He's passing so many anti smoking laws do why pass this? I'm sure there's gotta be SOME adverse health effects to smoking. He's so transparent you can count the corn in every piece of shit he's made of.

 

[Twogunwilly]

Good, it's plugging up the local paper and courts. Now with the time saved they should round up all the farm workers around here and see who's who. Haven't seen many American farm hands on farms around here for years unless they speak meximala

 

[Deplorable Me]

Andy flip flopped on this. People will wonder if he's stoned or stupid. Reality is; BOTH.

so are the DemocRATS

 

[Darth]

Good. Looking at the actual issue and not who said it, I have yet to hear a competent argument for continuing this war on drugs charade.

Lets legalize all federally controlled items

Select fires, Suppressors, SBRs ect.

 

[Sneezy]

everyone here should contact his office and complain. He's trying to override Federal Law. Not that I really care but with the anti 2A laws he has a penchant for ignoring the Feds and there is no penalty for it. Unless it's road signs.....

We need to speak out.

DO IT NOW!

Tell him they are both illegal and you won't stand for it.

Hell yeah!!! Let's have a rally!!!

 

[That_FNG]

So the governor wants to tax marijuana now?

 

[BDinPutnam]

Hey FUACface how about we legalize adult use of recreational firearms?

 

[libertysnake]

It's still illegal at the federal level, so it doesn't matter what the fuck this idiot does. The only reason why Commiefornia gets away with legalization is because the federal government has no balls to enforce laws it's responsible for -- such as the bill of rights.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I think not even 2 years ago he was outspoken against it.

Now he's all for it.

Here's an article from just last year.
Cuomo says he remains opposed to recreational marijuana

The guy has no vision for what he wants or thinks. He has no personal integrity of fortitude. He is a power hungry puppet. He can't flip flop fast enough of he thinks it will give him more votes and power. Screw him. FUAC. He has no compass other than what his liberal handlers tell him is in his interest.



Uggh.



For the record, I'm fine with legalization. I don't think it ever needed to be illegal in the first place, and no I don't even use it. Just treat it like alcohol. There are plenty worse things that people already do. I'm all for giving people freedom to do as they please do long as their actions don't harm others.

If it becomes legal how does that work for drug screening at the workplace?? I guess a legal substance will be found if tested or do they stop testing for the marijuana part of it?

I bet official "random" testing for like DOT rules would still treat it like it's illegal.

The issue to my knowledge, is that when they test for cannabis it stays in your system a d shows up in a test up to a month later. You nigh only be impaired for a few hours but can still test positive weeks later when if your sober at that time. That's going to get tricky.

Sweet, Ill grow 100 acres of it and undercut the state prices.

I don't believe they'll be able to screen for marijuana during the hiring process anymore since it will be legal.

The problem arises in my opinion when there is some type of workplace accident. If an employee is driving for company business, whether it's a forklift or tractor trailer, and there is an at fault or judgement accident. Also legal is alcohol, but not when operating heavy equipment or motor vehicle. Easy alcohol test is field sobriety and blood test. Alcohol present, guilty.

Marijuana testing can disclose residual presence from 2, 3 even 4 weeks prior. Accident today does not necessarily mean impaired today.

How would this work?

Employers would still have the right to hire whom ever they want. Me the employer, I would ask if the applicant smokes weed. The applicant says yes, I don't hire. All legal.

Do they ask if people drink? That is discrimination against the pot business!! lol

 

[Bigfoot]

Why would people not continue to get their weed as they always have (their personal connection) and avoid the more expensive taxed weed... The black market isn't going anywhere.
