FUAC Proposal On Funding Recreational Marijuana !

CUOMO PROPOSES FUNDING FOR RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA STUDY
By Barry Wygel | January 17, 2018 @7:06 PM


Part of Governor Andrew Cuomo's latest budget proposal includes requesting funding for a recreational marijuana study.

With New York quickly being surrounded by states legalizing the drug, Cuomo wants the Department of Health to look at the impact those surrounding states would have on New Yorkers and look at the impact on the roads, health and criminal justice system.

The exact parameters of the study have not been determined. Assemblyman John McDonald, a pharmacist and advocate for medical marijuana, was surprised by the announcement.

"I think it's appropriate and right to study all the components," McDonald said. "Don't just look at it as an opportunity to raise revenue from a tax perspective; look at the impacts on society both now and long-term."

The funding and approval for the study would have to be passed by the legislature.

One would think other states have studied it ad nauseam. .. Cannot we just use their studies rather than spend millions .

This is a trap, encouraging people to use marijuana openly. NYS gov't is fully aware that Federal law prohibits users from purchasing, possessing and owning firearms. Don't think for one minute that they won't use that info to relieve you of your firearms, and your 2A rights, perhaps even mandatory random drug testing for PP holders etc. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I would love to see that go to court.

What is there to study? Sounds like maybe he was high when he thought of that.
Here's Cuomo:
*hits blunt* "Someone should study the effects of this stuff." *hits blunt again* "Wait, does this mean I'm studying a study?"

just filled out a grant for 1.2 mil $$$ on recreational Ammo use Study ... going to be good times FUAC!!! ..

 

[SomeSoldier]

No we need a panel to study the affects but we need a commission to hire the panel. Oh we need a select committee to hire the experts to hire the commission to hire the panel. Then we need a secure location to do the study because weed is illegal and dangerous.

What fun is that?

 

[Deplorable Me]

If you're going to use it, stay off the roads and stay home. I do suspect many elected officials will be openly stoned on the job if this passes.

And for God's sake, stay off the Internet.

What fun is that?

Yep, no way to steer a bunch of tax dollars to your donors for a pointless study that way.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Personally I'd start handing it out at 0600 all day long on election day. Keep the stoned and stupid off the streets for 24 hours.

Banning weapons and making felons out of hundreds of thousands? 11:30pm on a Thursday. Want to legalize marijuana? We need a multi year study first.
