Why would anyone want to legalize a drug that has been shown in several studies to cause severe mental health issues due to long term use it is banned for a reason.

Which state is not prominent?

First of all New York is not a prominent state. Homeless all over, drugs and crime and people leaving by the bunch. If you are talking about cannabis going on the commodities market remember sell 'HIGH' buy low

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about marksust6 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

This stuff stinks like a skunk. People need to get high that badly?

BigTye777 CNN rolls poop joints.

People want to feel good after so much time feeling bad...I get it. Cannabis just makes me so lazy though I personally had to give it up because I wanted more from my life and I didn't want to waste my life being couch locked all day long. Definitely shouldn't be illegal...

the s*** stinks and it's gross!

Unfortunately not every state has a governor that’s has 9 sexual assault accusers - they need the distraction as much as NewYork 😉

You can only hope!

good move

Weed criminalization and the so-called 'war on drugs' are just systemic tools to keep funding the penal/industrial complex. They're not slowing down usage; they're only excuses to keep bodies behind bars and paychecks in the pockets of judges, cops and prison employees.

In states that have legalized it, there is still illegal weed - why? Because they went a bit overboard on taxes, which makes the price very high, so the illegal sellers come in.

The whole fucking world is in shambles right now, aur inko weed ki padi hai! Sahi hai!!!

Meu deus que beck feio

That’s a no brainer.

Using that crappy stock photo to represent cannabis is like using a moonshine jug to represent 20 year old scotch whiskey...

No recreational dispensaries planned for up to 2 years because they haven't settled on a plan in NY. I guess they haven't had time to think about it since the 60's? Fucking loser government here in NY.

can we have entire list of 'prominent' states?

Just like how 1st responders get vaccinated first, DMV workers should get the weed first

Translation: “Federal legislators do not have the tenacity to do the right thing, so we have to embarrass them into it.”

I just hope they not only expunge criminal records but release prisoners whose only crime is marijuana. Businesses also need to drop pot from the drug testing. What people do after work or on the weekend is none of their business.

I'm moving to NYC

More crimes and shootings for the city.

If NY opens up cannabis, TN will just retrench against even medical marijuana. Oh. Yeah. they just did anyhow.

I hate being a criminal because I don't want to take opioids for my chronic pain! Why is this still up for question? if you don't want to consume it don't. I don't like drinking so I don't drink no one else has to give it up.

I don’t think any state, but New York, cares what New York is doing these days.

All of a sudden y’all are coo with weed? Could it be that most of us minorities partake in the sticky icky and you want our money and votes?

Doubt it.

Once the politicians realize what a tax cash cow pot is they'll be on board. Once the industry has a heavy presence in the lobbying game and they can line their pockets they'll be all in. They are nothing if they're not opportunistic

The only crime here was committed by whoever rolled that doobie

Italy runs it's Cannabis through State Run Stores They Removed the Middle Men and Gangs and no one is shooting up the place for Marijuana Time America get on Board

That’s not how you light them. Or roll them.

Time to get high...

Weed, Shrooms and cocaine should be legal.

Yeah...it makes you wanna do like...nothing man.

Whoever rolled that joint should have deferred to someone who knows how lol.

Cannabis has tremendous medicinal and psychological benefits it never should have been illegal.

The whole west coast looking at this headline...

Why New York? CALIFORNIA, the most populous state has legalized Marijuana fully....as have 15 other states. In fact all but 6 stated have legalized to some extent, medicinal, decriminalization included. NY is part of them.

What happened to Killamerica Harris saying she would decriminalize weed again a KKK dumborat clown lie's

Lol cuz California, Illinois and Colorado aren't prominent enough states...

Follow our (Canada’s) lead and legalize, NATIONWIDE! ✌🏼😎🇨🇦

So couldn't find a picture of well rolled joint? That is one ugly blunt

Chris Rock once joked that weed will be legal when white people have figured how to make money out of it.

Cocaine next. 'Used responsibly.'

No wonder so many are screwed up and warped in their brains today from the pot they smoke combined with the fake divisive propaganda from the leftist media, leftist politicians and the leftist schools

You have to be high to live here. Numbs the taxation without representation from most state lawmakers.

OCCHIO ALLA LEGGE

New Mexico is about to become legal as well

When India ... Waitng

Should be legalized in bihar

As Long as it isn't being done at work, & or your having bong parties in public, So what if someone is smoking a joint in public, People suck in Cigarette Smoke and or exhaust fumes all day, So what if they smell a little weed. And for the Record I don't Smoke, Drink, or Do Drugs

We have all loved and lost, wonder and hope for new love to come; In My Mind is about all that and more. They say the heart was made to be broken, wasn't it? Sometimes you fall in love, sometimes you find yourself searching for it. Either way we have al

You’re kidding, right? NY is SO FAR BEHIND the rest of the country re legalizing weed.

I sure hope so.

Too many ignorant souls have no idea how cannabinoids can improve our society.

Stoners take over the world...

the dumbing down of society ..

Was California not prominent enough?

Cannabis only smells. garbage.

Yes please. We need this in MN.

The state did a bill in 4 days... full of political payback to help CuomoIsNotGoingAnywhereDarlin Glad 2 see it legal and people let out of jail cannabisLegal

NY not so prominent anymore

That's the most obvious statement anyone could make. You're doing great...

Hopefully

Beginning of the fkn end what next legalising all fkn drugs this world is fkd up and it’s getting worse

The Right Wing will say no, but are happy to partake 😆

HHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRR BIG STATE IF MAKE LEGAL WILL MAKE WEED FARMS MONEY DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRR great news there cnn. try telling us what happens if you pee in the wind next

I think Florida is next.

I have noticed a lot more of the smell coming from cars - not good for road safety.

Except NY is years behind CA, WA, and OR. Showing your East Coast bias again, eh CNN?

The left supports abortion what makes anyone think they care about these kids in the “migrant detention centers”

Although I am dead set against the government telling us what to do in our lives.... legalizing cannabis just seems like a bad idea on so many levels...

hey POTUS on April 20th of this year, you should sign an executive order legalizing it for all 50 states on a federal level

Police defunded: Major cities feeling the loss of police funding as murders, other crimes soar Explore the Fox News apps that are right for you at

After the mass of people leaving NYC ...they have recoup money from the peoples wallets somehow ..best solution I guess....hope it can be sold at the airport....that place is stressful

Yuck

🔥

Get ready Florida!

Um Ca. Pretty prominent state. In top 5 largest economies in the world, population of 40M, tech center of the nation, agricultural bread basket of the nation. But sure NY being late to the party with do it. When Ca has been taking on the Feds on this issue since 1996 but sure NY

Biden can’t wait to fire all the people in New York who smoke

Porra olha esse pão apertado kkkkkklj

They better bring those prices down. You can still get it cheaper on the streets.

It's legal on the entire West Coast. California is much more 'prominent' than NY except among our East Coast centered media.

Don't let Joe wise see this

If one had to live in NY I guess it would be needed

Hopefully it does. America needs some 420.
