New York State Decriminalized Marijuana Over Twenty Years Ago

I am ashamed that I, a card car­ry­ing mem­ber of the New York Cannabis Cognoscenti, did not know this. Decrim­i­nal­iza­tion means there is “no prison time or crim­i­nal record for first-time pos­ses­sion of a small amount for per­sonal con­sump­tion. The con­duct is treated like a minor traf­fic vio­la­tion.” (NORML)

I always thought New York State had some of the most puni­tive drug laws in the United States. I would like to give shout out to New York Mag­a­zine and writer Mark Jacob­son for bring­ing us a bril­liant piece titled The Split­ting Image of Pot. Mark Jacob­son, fel­low smoker and jour­nal­ist extra­or­dinare, shares a valu­able bit of 411 with New York Magazine’s readers:

“pos­ses­sion of 25 grams, or seven-eighths of an ounce is not a crime in New York State and has not been since the pas­sage of the Mar­i­juana Reform Act of 1977, or 32 years ago.”

Can this be true?  Seven-eighths (7÷8) of an ounce is a lot of bud. So ‚six-eighth of an ounce  of mar­i­juana (see stash photo below) is not a crime in the Big Apple. Just one more rea­son to love NY.

Stiletto Stoner (Photo: Marie Claire)

After read­ing this recent Jezebel post on “Stiletto Ston­ers”, I had to remove the site from my Blogroll. Is the fact that women are smok­ing pot really shock­ing? In the post, Jezebel’s Senior Con­tribut­ing edi­tor Tra­cie (spelled like a strip­per) Egan writes,

“In a absurdly-titled arti­cle titled “Stiletto Ston­ers” in the Octo­ber issue of Marie Claire, writer Yael Kohen reports some shock­ing news: Suc­cess­ful, edu­cated women in their late 20s/early 30s, with demand­ing careers are smok­ing pot!” Read the rest of this entry »
