why is weed decriminalized in NY but still not medical?

No work gets done in Albany. Thats why...


oh and cuomo is against mmj

 

what this guy said

our governor came out against MMJ 5 days before the election, pretty ignorantly too I might add

also, we are quasi decriminalized. there is a loop hole. if the cops want to arrest you, don't worry they will. that law don't mean shit if the cops are being douchebags.. suffolk county cops fall under that category 95% of the time I might add, hell 5 cop cars sitting outside 7/11 every morning..

 

But what is being done about it? I mean, if this Cuomo guy has something against the benefits of marijuana, he should not be the one that makes this decision...Are his pockets lined with pharma money where he refuses to look at the benefits? Fuck that.

Its why I refuse to go doctors anymore, and I am pretty fucking sick...When you bring up marijuana, they say it is ineffective. No, it is not ineffective, it helps. Well, it is illegal...That does not mean it is ineffective, and something I am currently fighting all by myself ( I have been begging for help hoping somebody can point me in the right direction)

The Hippocratic Oath...Doctors are supposed to practice medicine ethically...They are failing, and many of us, who just want to be as healthy as we possibly can, and paying an awful price...I don't get it!!

I want to through my hat into the ring...I have info that could help New Yorkers, but instead, i have to sit back because I smoke weed? Fuck this...

Any help someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. I believe my story, and my work, could help...

 

Weird.. When I told my doc marijuana is the only thing with my IBS, she was like "Doesn't surprise me, I've heard it works wonders. I have other patients who do the same thing. If it works, keep on doing it." And we went on to talk about how it's BS that we don't have MMJ in NY.

Your cops must be douchebags. I've seen cops respond to a noise complaint, and the second they get to the door and it opens there's a distinct marijuana odor. They just told them to keep the music down and not annoy the people below them. Even the University cops at my school are pretty lax on marijuana.

Guess it's all about where you are. Upstate seems pretty chill.

 

yup cops where im at finding pot is like wining the lotto

 

Regulation takes effort, decriminalization takes none.

new york is so crooked

 

cuomos an asshat. also some cops ignore the decriminalized and still arrest people for minor shit. pigs..

 

Im going to take a wild guess and say your under 19 years old. I have interacted multiple times with Suffolk cops and they not only let me go, they let me keep the stash if I pass a sobriety test.

 

I'm from Niagara Falls NY. Been in western NY my whole life. Lancaster, Buffalo, Angola/Derby, now Niagara Falls. NY really sucks, lol. I'm not one to regret anything, not that I had a choice I was raised here, but it's nothing to go mad about, but now that I'm 20 I'll be moving soon.

Taxes, weather, cops, people, laws, I could go on and on why NY really is just terrible. 85% of people here are miserable. You go walking the streets and everyone looks insecure, depressed, or acting tough. There are a lot of fucked up people in NY lol, a lot of mental problems with people.

 

im not going to take a wild guess and say you are wrong, im not under 19.

 

We have the same scenario here in MN. The police unions were leaned upon heavily as the only stated reason/objection raised when medical legislation made it through all committees in the legislation last year, and then Governor Tim Pawlenty vetoed a version that finally made its way to his desk after major revisions which made it easily the most controlled mmj law in the land that would have allowed only dying cancer patients access/protection. He still vetoed it. Given his Presidential aspirations and "Christian" values he portends to represent, there was no way he was signing it into law.

The support is there from the public. It is not there from the politicians' political backers ($$$$.) Proof again the political process has been completely hijacked by our nation's campaign finance laws and controlled by those with vested interests in either framing control of cannabis to their benefit before laws are passed to make it legal, (seemingly, the Dems/progressives) or those who plain make money off of its prohibition at present (which, seems to fall more on the Republican side of the equation.) Its still going to be all about control and special interests, even in a regulated landscape just like any other commodity.

 

i feel you homie im in suffolk too. Undercovers come to my park where we chill regularly and do searches to fuck us over. i didnt even know it was decrimnalized

 

i live in the city, cops are everywhere, they will fuck you even if marijuana is completely legal on a federal level. its what they do. its all they know. they are watching you now.

 

this. hell my buddy got busted driving smoking with a roach and the guy just made him park his car and walk home (he was a 2 min walk away from home). They aren't dicks at all just dont be a smart ass with them.

 

what ya mean weed is decriminalized in n.y.?what u mean its legal.ant no way
