Aye Oh, New York Legalizes Recreational Cannabis, Sets Up to Be the East Coast Kingpin of Weed

In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has taken the lead by signing a legislation passed by lawmakers to legalize recreational marijuana. The New York Senate voted on the said day 40-23 to pass the legislation, and later the state assembly voted 100-49 to favor the bill. So New York becomes the 15th state in the District of Columbia to legalize cannabis for recreational purposes. Gov. Andrew Cuomo described the day as a “Historic day” and one that creates a path towards securing marijuana as a legal entity.
