NY Did It!! Legal April 1st New York State officials have reached a deal to legalize marijuana, legislative sources told The Post on Wednesday — just hours after Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it “essential” to the state’s social and economic well-being.
The reform measures will be included in the laws adopted as part of the state budget on April 1, the sources said
The deal would allow New Yorkers to legally buy and possess up to three ounces of pot and even grow plants for their personal use, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Plans call for a 9 percent state tax on retail sales that could generate $300 million a year in new revenues, the Journal said.
