Weed is now legal in New York. The state legislature just passed a making the use of receational reefer safe and legal for all. Here are some details:
- Three ounces of cannibas or 24 concentrated grams are now legal.
- People can smoke in public only where regular smoking is allowed -- so not in many places.
- All marijuana convictions will be voided; forty percent of pot tax revenue will be reinvested in those communities that had the highest number of convictions i.e. black communities. The law aims for equity, not only legalization.
- A regulatory framework for the legal market and dispensaries is in the works -- although some localities can opt out of it if they want.
- Many jobs and billions in tax revenue are expected.
- The law is "tiered" so that no one company can become a weed monopoly.
