    New York absolutely needs to follow California's lead to fully legalize marijuana.

        100%. And we need to do so on a model that focuses on communities and small business, instead of concentrating wealth to a handful of politically connected dispensaries.

        Agreed. This coming from a non-pot smoker, who wouldn't go near it even if it were legal. There are more reasons to legalize it. It's also safer than various legal (and OTC) drugs.

        Yes, I am not a pot user. But I live in a state that legalized pot, and it makes sense. Plus, apparently cannabis oil heals without a high.

        Better for users if regulated, better for economy (tax revenue, legal jobs), reduces crime, and yes, healing properties.
