Absolutely there should be no one in jail for any amount of cannabis. Should have never been made illegal in the first place.

[@lonersins]

it's illegal because of racist laws and it's still illegal smh 。

[@tommydoolittle1080]

Honestly as a NY grasshead I'm not too excited about this 'raise in price' as well as taxes... I'm pretty happy with that 10$/pergram and 25$/3grams and such that dealers around here do... and the herb isnt reggie, its loud af strains. All I'm saying is, when it gets legalized I rly hope the pluggos keep at it, cuz I rly dont wanna sacrifice these low black market prices 😂

Be on the lookout for DUI's, I have a feeling its gonna go through the roof. Be smart America. Don't give them a reason to make it illegal again.

[@flitter5400]

I would like to see the evidence that suggest people who are stoned can't operate a motor vehicle safely. I mean it to be honest I feel like you're more impaired from a nicotine buzz. I'm obviously not advocating to smoke and drive I would just like to see a real study done on it.

Regulation will bring in big companies, and push out the black market. Best thing you can do is buy stock in these companies.

[@jiujitsu94]

[@S-K69]

The black market will not be pushed out. When I go to Colorado I still buy off the street. Better prices and better quality.

[@ultra100able]

People will still buy in the black market because the prices are cheaper , and no tax , , and you dont have to have your drivers license scanned like when you enter a dispensary .

[@TheOblivion2025]

@@ultra100able Yes! I absolutely plan to continue to get from the "Street". NYC just wants our tax money. But don't get me wrong I'm glad its legal. I just won't be running out to buy triple priced bud.

The place where I live has the most cannabis users per capita. Thats right . People in nova scotia use the most cannabis worldwide. We hold that record . Everything is fine here . What does that tell you ? It tells you someone is not telling the truth. The roads are terrible and sometimes the weather is too but society isn't coming unraveled at the seams as some would have us believe.

Lol as a Coloradan looking to travel to NYC who gets 8ths for 25 and ounces for 125 for below (otd tax included) you guys are really in for a treat. But when it does become legal expect wages and rent to go higher. The entire economy will be transformed.

@@walterdominiquez6876 bro the best way to grow medical cannabis don't need to be spend a dime on it in Somalia all we use is charcoal, banana peel, ash, seed spouted teas river warer, crushed eggshell, all the left over fruits as compost beside the plant grow mint, neem plant, garlic, green onions, last but not least have some ladybugs on the side now all those stuff we have them growing in our farms so ye all I spend is my time with those lovely ladies u don't have to spend 100s of dollars for bottled nutes when u can get to the same result without it plus I go now and then to the beach collect seaweed is organic and free so ye bro I don't spend anything in growing cannabis that's how it's

Why for so long have people gone to jail and have arrest records for having a plant? What if alfalfa made you feel good to chew it? Whould they ban that? Would people go to jail? Pot has been in our society for so long, is this war with law enforcement ever going to end? How long will law abiding people continue to be arrested for this ridiculous charge of possession of a plant that is never going away?

Knowing people that go to trashy jails for months just cause they were selling a few ounces to PAY their RENT. It’s really been a sad thing to watch, the quality will go up because “your friend” can source it here from a professional grow operation, instead of “it comes from Cali” or where ever the stink packs come from. Some people can tell what they’re smoking, some people can’t, it’s a gift

[@tammysvlogs2293]

If it was illegal at the time oh well!! It was a crime. Get a real job!!

[@Smorgasvord]

I'm pretty sure there are very few people in NYC who are actually paying their rent by selling little nicklebags here and there. Anyone who's selling only weed is doing it just to have some spending money on the side, not to "PAY their RENT".
