Legalizing Marijuana in NYS

I get where you’re coming from but it is legal. I never smoked cigarettes but I smoke a ton of weed.
I mentioned cigarettes for a reason. You have to tolerate it almost everywhere but city or state properties or a private one that bans it.
How many times have we all done the coffee cup filled with whatever going to a show. Or at the beach with sola (red cup) cup.
But there is always going to be that guy doing wherever and whenever he wants and that’s not right.
It kills me when I’m smoking in the yard and the neighbors kids come out. I have every right to stay out there and keep going. Out of respect I go inside.
To me that’s what killing us. No respect for one another. You have to be fair to your fellow man.
As far as legalizing it all it did was get folks that use to smoke smoking again as they had no source to get from.
Love this thread. And not directed at you Billy just replied to your comment.

It is legal in NY State, but not federally. That's what gets people confused. Anywhere you can legally smoke a cigarette weed Is legal as well. I've been on the boardwalk smoking a joint talking to a cop about it's legality.
Any site from NY you go to will tell you the same. Here's a little excerpt as an example.
It is now legal for adults 21 and older to possess up to three ounces of cannabis and up to 24 grams of concentrated cannabis for personal use in New York. Adults may smoke or vape cannabis wherever smoking tobacco is allowed under the smoke-free air laws, with a few exceptions.
Cannabis use is not allowed in motor vehicles (even if they are parked) or in outdoor dining areas at restaurants. Smoking or vaping cannabis in prohibited areas may result in a civil summons and fine.
It is still against the law for people younger than 21 years old to possess, sell or use any amount of cannabis. Also, no one may legally possess more than three ounces of cannabis and 24 grams of concentrated cannabis, sell any amount without a license, or drive while under the influence or impaired by cannabis.

the FDA and DEA have concluded that marijuana has no federally approved medical use for treatment in the U.S. and thus it remains as a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law.
This means that should you get involved with the Feds for reasons other than pot and they find it in your possession, they can charge you under the federal law.
Note also that TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.
