ACRGF - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Commits to Recreational Pot Legalization This Year
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has set the legalization of recreational cannabis as one of his administration's top goals for 2020.
In his annual State of the State address, Cuomo framed the plan as part of a broader effort to more fairly balance the New York justice system. "For decades, communities of color were disproportionately affected by the unequal enforcement of marijuana laws," said the Governor.
"This year let's work with our neighbors New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, to coordinate a safe and fair system and let's legalize adult use of marijuana," he added.
