New York: Recreational Marijuana Legalization 2019

This is a story I haven't heard people talk about much.
Governor Cuomo of New York, plans to legalize the use of recreational marijuana within the first three months of 2019.
I received the news from the governor's email news letter.
There's a link, and the contents of the email.

Fellow New Yorker,

This morning I laid out my agenda for the first 100 days of the 2019 legislative session.

As the federal government seeks to undo generations of progress, New York must lead and there’s no time to wait. With the new Democratic majority in our State Senate we have the opportunity to pass this ambitious plan to ensure the promise of full, true, justice for all.

This 2019 we will:
Ensure a Progressive Tax System
Cut Middle Class Taxes While Fighting to Repeal SALT
Protect Quality, Affordable Health Care
Codify Reproductive Rights
Enshrine Gender Equality into Law
Combat Gun Violence
Launch a $150 Billion Infrastructure Plan
Fund and Restructure the MTA While Easing Traffic in New York City's Business District
Ensure Education Equity
Pass the Dream Act
Launch the Green New Deal
Ensure Clean, Safe Drinking Water for All
Improve Our Democracy
Increase Trust in the Democratic System
Protect Public Sector Unions
Keep Housing Affordable for New Yorkers
Pass the Child Victims Act
Protect LGBTQ Rights
Legalize Adult Use of Recreational Marijuana; and
Ensure Fairness in the Criminal Justice System
We ask for the support of all New Yorkers to turn these bold ideas into law. Add your name as a co-sponsor of my 2019 Justice Agenda.

As New Yorkers, we declare independence from the federal government's repugnant policies. We reject the nationalism, racism, misogyny and discrimination coming from Washington.

Help us pass our progressive agenda and together New York will restore true democracy, fairness and progress. Add your name now.

Now is the time for New York to stand up and deliver on the promise of progressive government. There’s no time to wait.

Ever upward,

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo!
