NYC Bar Panel: It’s Springtime for Cannabis in New York
“The New York City Bar Association hosted an event Thursday called ‘Springtime for Cannabis: 75 Years After the LaGuardia Committee Report, What’s Next for New York?’ during which panelists discussed how New York should legalize, and what’s likely to change on the medical front. The panel came on the heels of a failed effort by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to legalize cannabis for adult use through the budget, and the momentum behind the effort has slowed. Cuomo and State Sen. Liz Krueger put forth similar plans that contain several key differences, mostly around equity and vertical integration. Now, New Yorkers are left to wonder when legalization will come together, what form it will take, and what to expect from efforts to widen the medical cannabis program.”
