NY Health Department Report on Legalizing Marijuana

In the not too distant future, it may become legal to use marijuana for recreational purposes in New York State.

With neighboring Canada and Massachusetts, and several other states in the union already legalizing the drug, New York lawmakers are considering what the pros and cons of also legalizing the drug would be.

The pros outweigh the cons, according to a comprehensive report on regulated (legal) marijuana that was put together by the New York State Department of Health.

In this podcast, Johanne Morne talks about what those pros and cons are, the financial benefits the state might realize, and what the next steps will be in considering legalizing marijuana.
