Cuomo’s plan to legalize marijuana may have hit a roadblock
Gov. Cuomo’s plan to legalize recreational marijuana is stuck in the weeds.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said the legislation is complex and may not be approved as part of the state budget due April 1, but would be dealt with later.
“Being honest and saying six weeks may not be enough time to come up with regulations, deal with economic impact on communities and the criminal justice aspects, somehow gets reactions of outrage instead of understanding and acknowledgment of the commitment to get this done,” Heastie said in a Thursday tweet.
