Cuomo anticipates that he’ll have better luck next year. He said the rates of taxation and pricing, minimum buyers’ age, maximum volumes allowed and the forms in which the drug can be marketed are issues that should be coordinated with New Jersey, Connecticut and other nearby states.
“Because if New York’s system isn’t competitive, then they’ll drive to New Jersey where you could possibly get something that you couldn’t get here,” Cuomo said Tuesday during an interview on WNYC radio. “You don’t want people driving distances and then driving back.”
