Opponents, Proponents Talk Legal Weed In Queens
The legalization of marijuana in New York State is gaining momentum, and there are concerns on all sides.
Proponents and opponents gathered at a community in Jamaica, Queens, Saturday to talk about the implications of legalizing cannabis for recreational use. Among the concerns was where the money from legal weed will go -- to local communities, to businessmen, to the transit system?
State Sen. James Sanders called the community meeting. He’s opposed to legalization but wanted wanted to know more about the abuse – and cash – it might bring, so he called people together.
