Legalized Recreational Use of Marijuana May Soon Become a Reality for New York State – But Not Its Title Underwriters

I’ll admit it – I may be among New York State’s nerdiest lawyers. You see, despite my advanced age, I’ve never used marijuana! Hey, it’s illegal, right? And, if Gov. Cuomo is correct, it’s a gateway drug, too, and I sure don’t want to become a drug addict!

Actually though, now, the Governor may be reversing course a little, and it seems New York State may, sometime during this legislative session, legalize recreational marijuana use. Just Google “NY Marijuana” and you’ll have access to a plethora of information, explaining the political pressures and rational arguments behind the shift.
