Unless of course, you are a gun owner. Then you lose your guns.
This is why I said it's a start..
It needs to be "legalized" at a federal level. Especially for the fact that at the federal level weed is in the same classification of drug as heroin

One is out of high school .... Smoke weed or shoot a gun .... Choices choices ..
Yea, he decriminalized it so he can hand out tickets to create revenue instead of debt (people in prision). So this isnt to help anyone but the Gov, once again. FYNYS AND CUMHOLE.

Cops still going to seize the weed. Pay a fine and still lose your weed. Potentially lose your job. NY is a shit show.

Dude what? huh?
He is such an fool. Turning his speech into a racial inequality issue.
"Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by laws governing marijuana"
"we are taking a critical step forward in addressing a broken and discriminatory criminal justice process"

Not to be a downer but Im pretty sure it was always just a violation .Small amounts have been decriminalized since the 70s. He really did nothing but put his name in the news .Im not 100 percent on that maybe a Leo can chime in.

I don't care.
I didn't use it in high school.
I didn't use it in college.
I've never tried it.
I haven't had any interest in inhaling the byproduct of combusting plants.
That said, if it's going to be treated like alcohol, and those under the influence do not affect my life...fine, I still don't care. I'm not going to use it. But...to each his own.
Except it's not like alcohol, it's a parking ticket. Just another way for the state to revenue.
They'd get much more revenue by legalizing it for recreational use. This is NY, you know they'd tax the hell out of it.

Not what I meant. I was referring to potential for abuse and affecting others if operating machinery (like cars) under the influence.
I don't really care how it's regulated or taxed, either. If it's legal, it's just another commodity. People can be free to buy it or not buy it.

Except they don't confiscate your car for a parking ticket or your cellphone for texting while driving. Or lose your job when those show up on the police blotter.
They will take your phone as evidence.

Guys. I read the article but not the actual bill that I signed .
Are you aware that unlawful possession of marijuana was a violation BEFORE this bill was signed.
But does the author of the article mean criminal possession of marijuana which was a misdemeanor?

The legislation reduces unlawful possession of marijuana to a violation punishable by fine, and creates a process for individuals convicted of certain marijuana offenses to have their records expunged, according to the governor’s office.
“Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by laws governing marijuana for far too long, and today we are ending this injustice once and for all,” Cuomo said in a press release.
The bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law.

The new law just increases the weight limit for a violation to under 2 ounces. No clue if there is an "intent to distribute" clause.

So, not decriminalized at all, just a slight adjustment in the amount that they consider small fish.
Can FUAC do anything without lying about it ?

If you read my post thats the verification I needed from a cop . This was a political maneuver from cuomo he did nothing except make people think he did something and put his name in the news to make a bunch of liberals praise him as being so progressive.

Does it? Two ounces?
As far as intent to distribute, the criminal possession and criminal sale of marijuana are both misdemeanors in most cases.
Most criminal possession charges are because it was burning or in public view. Not the amount. You would need garbage bags full to get to misdemeanor levels based on weight.
