Recreational pot in NY may not have the votes
There has been broad support for recreational pot among top New York state lawmakers, but now some are questioning if there are enough vote for it to pass in the Assembly.
“There may not be enough, and there may not have been, and there may not have ever have been. There was never a vote count taken on this,” Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, a Democrat from Kenmore, told WGRZ.
Last week, lawmakers tweaked the current legislation to decrease the amount of pot a person could legally have and to raise taxes on what was originally proposed.
