Decriminalize the recreational use of Marijuana in the State of New York


Decriminalize the recreational use of Marijuana in the State of New York
The Issue
Colorado and Washington recently passed laws to decriminalize the use of marijuana. The law allows citizens to have a certain amount of marijuana with out being arrested for having that amount of marijuana. I think that if marijuana was decriminalized it'd provide a massive boost towards the economy. Marijuana also has quite a few of medical benefits like it's been proven that it's less dangerous then tobacco and there are studies saying that the cannabinoid has slowed down the process of cancer cells.
