Just Announced: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo released a statement tonight that his state of the union speech next week will include an announcement of an executive order making medical cannabis legal.
After this comes to be New York will become the 22nd state where qualified patients will have legal access to cannabis as a therapeutic.
Wow, 5 days after Colorado went legit and did not go into Chaos. New York gave way to medical Marijuana, just a matter of time before Marijuana is reclassified as a schedule 2 or 3 drug, or it becomes legal and regulated all over.
Fall, dominos, fall!
Yayy finally never thought I’d see the day
Soon dry counties will be the minority. This is the “domino effect” NORML keep up the good fight.
Keep in mind before you all jump for joy…
cuomo is running for reelection. and a Politican will say nearly
anything to get reelected.
So very happy for NY. Gives hope for all americans for the day prohibition ends.
Iraq vets support this
Yeah! Thank you Allen and NORML for the Sunday update, you guys never stop working. Go New York!
@Azteca once the rest of the nation sees that all the scare tactics were wrong, I agree marijuana will be rescheduled.
If this is true, i’m going to ask my doctor at my next appointment to consider me for medical marijuana to help with my Spasticity. I have been doing stretches with a licensed PT for over six months, and have come a long way. But I hit a wall, and I don’t do well with medications. Case in point, I went to the hospital a few weeks ago for dizziness from a vitamin D prescription.
Weed the people – isn’t that nothing but positive tho, as public opinion has reached a point in which pro a ganja stance is politically favorable? The change of stance is political pandering; the subtext behind it is profoundly significant
Now I’m impressed. The Fucking Demoncrates and some Rebublicunts are finally noticing they can’t just verbally shit on us for their social profit. Now it only works half the time. They have to show some respect now.
Getting them to follow our consitution isn’t a win for the marijuana people/lobby (allowing something already not illegal, not a schedule one material, isn’t much of an achievement), and is a win for the whole country. On the other hand, this is an actual win for us.
Everyone bear witness to history at worp speed
Congrats it’s a good year already
Andrew, welcome to the 21 century! About time New York made some PROGRESS with the Use of Medical Cannabis. I am on Opiates and Steroid Injections for a few Spine conditions and pot helps with Pain and Nausea (from Morphine) , helps with appetite and sleep. God Bless!
Wonder what Eric Holder is up to lately?
“Weed The People says:
January 5, 2014 at 8:14 am
Keep in mind before you all jump for joy…
cuomo is running for reelection. and a Politican will say nearly
anything to get reelected.”
Simply because politicians will “say anything” in an election year is not a problem. They will say anything, hopefully do anything too, to get elected, which really means that they will do what we the people want for a change. Viva democracy.I don’t blame the politicians. If the people want something, they need to participate and let their voices be heard, because ultimately, even if only during election years, politicians will give the majority or the most vocal, what they want and believe in. So go ahead and jump for joy but don’t sit back. Make a call or write an email to your legislators. While I get a kick of some sort of seeing how this is a stepping stone toward tolerance and eventual collapse of the marijuana war altogether in NY, I really feel for those New Yorkers who have real medical needs that are not otherwise being met or are met with more dangerous substances. The evidence on wasting diseases and appetite is overwhelming. The possibility that it is an effective treatment for intractable childhood seizures is so hopeful. And, while not as crucial or heartrending, people I know with back, arthritic or other pain who really do benefit from this non-addictive (albeit with possibility for dependence, but no fatal or serious medical side effects)are avoiding addictive, potentially fatal and mind-numbing opiate pain relievers or even NSAIDs that carry far more risk and are contraindicated for many with gastro, cardiac or blood pressure issues).
Well, this might be good news, if Cuomo doesn’t change his mind.
His press release mentions that he will sign an executive order to make medical marijuana available at 20 hospitals in the state, and that it will be the “best, most-regulated, tightest-controlled system in the nation that will provide real help for patients.”
That was supposed to be the case in New Jersey, but Governor Christie has made it so tough that epileptic children can’t get CBD edibles,item Dravet syndrome. Anyone bringing the medicine from Colorado is risking a lot by transporting the medicine across state lines.
Christie is the type of guy who will shout down people pretty much Morton Downey Jr. Show style when he disagrees with them or doesn’t want to be educated by what they have to say, as in the way he did exactly that to Vivian Wilson’s dad and to a teacher on him about how he bashes NJ public schools yet has cut their funding. There are more cases of Christie shouting Morton Downey Jr. style at people where he simply comes across as a big mouth bully. Christie seems to have to contain himself just to keep the obscenities from slipping out of his mouth. I just can’t see this archetype personality getting elected to the presidency.
Back to Cuomo’s press release, which states that the Republican-controlled NY Senate was against MMJ, while the Democratic House was for it and that Cuomo’s stance was evolving.
Well, it’s evolved, so is the money collected in taxes on MMJ going into a special state fund that will dispense it to applicants in any jurisdiction? If yes, that would mean that cannabis money could flow to Republican-controlled voting districts, and that could make Republican state lawmakers more likely to vote to expand medical marijuana.
This should start the desensitization process in that once the public realizes the lies about cannabis are not true that the region can then move on to legalization in the counties and jurisdictions that want it. Those that don’t want it locally can still be for legalization at the state level so they can get their hands on the money from it, have their cake and eat it too, i.e. not have medical or retail cannabis in Rome, New York, for example, but yet get cannabis money to build a school or some other public works project. That may be the initial phase, however to encourage more jurisdictions to jump on the cannabis money train, it might speed up things to change the rules to make having it in the jurisdiction a requirement in order to get money from cannabis revenues, regardless of whether the revenues flow into the General Fund or into a special separate fund.
Yeah Weed the People, but even so, once enacted he can’t take it back regardless of if he gets re-elected. And what a good sign anyway that a politician would stand on a pro-marijuana format to get re-elected. Sure beats the “tough on marijuana” format of a couple of decades ago
LEGALIZE! (:
Mr. Cuomo is doing the same old song and dance on this issue. The controlled restrictions to the medical cannabis program he’s speaking of are just a way for him to gain reelection. He knows this is a serious subject to the people and he also knows that if he outright denounces or promotes medical cannabis he’ll split his base. He also know the the ballots initiatives and referendums process in New York could play a huge part in this. Some should ask him pick one side or the other on the subject. Ask him how much federal funding the state stands to loose if cannabis becomes legal. At least let the people vote. The city of New York is the largest site of constitutional rights violations in years with its “federally incentivized stop and frisk” program. Knowing this do you guys really think he’s going to just roll over. If he’s changing positions on the issue then he needs to state it in public, on camera, and in writing. Cannabis advocacy organizations like NORML and MPP are the kind of support that you need to support. Educate yourself about what type of power you have. It is important that you know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiatives_and_referendums_in_the_United_States
http://www.iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i%26r.htm
Initiatives and Referendums are powerful tools. These types of power were NOT just handed to you by the Constitution. They were created at a type when the country was being overrun by the greedy rich. Its called Direct Democracy. It gives you power to maintain freedom from tyranny. Use it.
Cuomo is only covering his tail. At this point the abundance of Americans looking to reclassify and fully legalize is well over 50%. He’s not a good fellow as his M.O. is to take guns out of everyone’s homes. Just remember one of the 1st acts committed by any Socialist or Communist Country . . . Disarm the Citizens.
So very glad to hear that Medical M.J. is going into effect. However it’s the “Recreational Use and re-classification from Schedule 1 that needs to happen. I agree with the other posters that it is just a matter of time before it’s legal across the board. It’s almost becoming amusing at this point. The wealth of research, confirmed statistics and the exploitation of 70 + years of B.S. fed to the American citizens . . . We wouldn’t be where we are without NORML for sure.
About time, I finally will be able to control my Crohn’s disease! Hope it’s on the list because I know my primary doctor will provide me with a medical marijuana card!!
That’s fantasticly awesome let’s get on the BALL FLORIDA !!!
Cuomo is a pure politician first, so I wouldn’t call this a step towards legalization. However, New Yorkers suffering through chemo and what not will have opportunities for relief they didn’t otherwise. For myself, I don’t think a 50 year old migraine sufferer will qualify. Yet.
But it’s a start. Baby steps.
Great ! Great ! Great . Let’s go Florida
Clearly there are politicians that recognize the absurdity of continuing to try and enforce and support unjust laws, and destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of people,unfairly arrested and sentenced outrageous sentences to non-violent minor marijuana users. This is insane!! “The War On Drugs Is A Failure”! by Ron Paul, Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, The Governor Of New Jersey,Chris Christie, and others, denunciation of “The War On Drugs” Check it out on link below, watch and enjoy.
ITS ABOUT TIME,
Fuk yeah!!!
TEXAS! Yeah right ! Some of them ‘good ol boys’ are still gettin’ confederate flag tattoos. They’ll need a coupla hunnerd years to get over weed. Funny, they could really use some good weed too. Might help em get over the black president. And gays. And wimen in power.
Did anybody catch the quote in the Times article where New York state law does not allow the growth of plants so Cuomo and the state health department may have to go to the Federal government or “law enforcement agencies” to supply the marijuana?! Now, I knew about the tax-payer funded federal cannabis “research” farm at the University of Mississippi since I was in college. But how blatant does organized crime get when “law enforcement agencies” have to control restricted supplies of mj to lethally ill patients? Does anyone else hear bad mob-movie dialogue going on in their head when they read this crap? Between Christie and Cuomo I can hear Tony Soprano in the backround telling the governors, “dont let supplies drop tha street price below $50 bucks a gram, or your campaign? Fuhghetabodit… Ill let evrybody know whose been financing your new cadillac escalade. I got EVrybaudy’s manos en la maza, capish? If I go down you goin wit me!”
Im afraid that the endgame of our legalization crusade is going to involve a very scandalous revelation that our DEA IS THE MAFIA. DOJ memos and executive orders are desperately trying to distance campaigns from years of organized corruption. We’re watching a great American cannabis tragedy unfold before our eyes. Each headline is like watching a Scorcese movie; like the narrative ending of Goodfellas freeze-framing on all the characters of prohibition banking on a pro marijuana image while desperately trying to restrict the supplies and keep the prices up for cannabis.
But while the Godfather theme plays violins for crime bosses from here to Mexico, not all the years of government propoganda or hollywood glamour can offer enough sympathy for the devil. America is standing together to face the police state. Now the weak must be strong. While we applaud your decision, we will not settle for your controlled commodities Cuomo; For our nation to heal from what injustice we are still too blind to see… The medicine and the prisoners must be set free…
So one question who’s in the gov,s
Ear advising his ideas.If he plans for
Frickin hospitals do distribute ,the green better
Be clean and med quality,lab tested,
Mother approved lol. Seeing it all go down
In CO.my main concern was quality of
Flower .so who is in his ear? Peace
Chris Christie has to earn votes. As do all elected officials. Stupid voters just give their votes away without requiring the polls actually work for us.
People are starting to notice auto-voting for a party is the fast track to corruption as they no longer have to work for your votes, they just get them regardless of the work they have done. This is how we have been ruining our country.
In New Jersey we had no one to choose from. Again it was a choice between cancer or aids and cancer won. But there still is no reason to be happy with these results. Aids would not help anyway. Who is coming out to vote for aids? And so we had the lowest turn out in our history. This is the new way the democrats and rebubs are splitting the vote. They pick assholes to run, so no one wants to vote and they can more easily manipulate a win or loss. Keeping the public out of the voting both anyway possible is the new target in of American politics.
@dk,
A few fun facts about Texas you probably didnt know:
1) last summer, the Democratic party endorsed marijuana decriminalization. Its not legalization, but its a far cry from the 90,000 Texas prisoners per year that are currently in for marijuana posession.
2) The executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project winters here in Austin and has teamed up with the Texas chapter of NORML to create a full time lobby to pass pro marijuana legislation.
3) %58 of Texans are for pro marijuana legalization.
4)The growing Texan latino voting population is pro marijuana legalization.
5) Mayor of San Antonio Julian Castro is a major contender for the 2016 presidential nomination.
6)Senator Cornyn, who is deep in the DEAs pockets, is up for reelection this year.
7)Austin could very well legalize in a similar manner to Detroit and Portland have in their purchased state legislatures.
8)Campaign alert: most Americans dont know about little 2 year old Alexandra Hill (Alexhillfund@facebook.com) who was murdered by her violent foster mother in Roundrock, Tx in February of last year after being taken from her parents when they admitted to smoking non-violent marijuana after hours. Lets put THIS in the primary debates: “If you are elected, will you continue the violent domestic cannabis policy of taking state custody of children from nonviolent parents in posession of marijuana and then placing them in unsupervised, potentially violent, private, state-funded foster care?” Copy and paste. Call your Texas representatives. Write KXAN. Lets get this question in the debates!
Very well said Julian. Things probably won’t change in godforsaken Idaho until dimwit Idahoans get smart, and vote Governor Butch Otter, and drunk Republicans out of office.
The problem with Cuomo is that he wants to get MMJ from seized pot stashes from the DEA and State Police etc… If this is the case think of how many law enforcement agencies are going to jump at the chance to be the highest donors of MMJ, while at the same time busting growers and sending them to prison for the very same medicine that will be given to patients. There has got to be new laws written so growers do not suffer these kinds of raids and harsh punishments and the police get off scott free for distribution.
Did I say something wrong?
Cuomo is planning on using a law from 1980 that will allow him to use seized medical marijuana from growers. The DEA and State Police will be distributing the medicine. How does this help the cause and education of NYS citizen’s? If anything all I can see is that Law enforcement agencies will be jumping at the chance to bust Mom and Pop shops to obtain kick backs from Albany to buy new equipment… Guns, helicopter’s, dogs etc… to harass it’s citizens with. Please tell me I am wrong.
Sorry Cuomo, This is too little too late.
This will only help less then 1% of NY’s sick.
Your plan will COST $$$, it does not make $$$$$..
ADD HEMP.
Ask the voters, WE want to follow CO lead.
Want my vote, and many others?
LISTEN TO US.
You have dragged your feet long enough.
I am retired and i will devote all my time to this.
Do it fast, before November, i will cross party lines to help vote you OUT.
Hopefully all goes as planned and Wed goes off without a hitch.I hope Cuomo adds children under the compassionate care for Ny because my 7 yr old suffers from severe Crohns Disease, I hear my baby cry from the arthritis and uvetitus from having Crohns,Our family spends thousands of dollars on treatments and medicines to control the flares and supposedly are there to help him get to remission only to watch my child suffer from bloody diarreah and hear the medicines not working.So at this point a little mmj doesn’t sound like such a far fetched concept. Charoletts Webb is working wonders for children in Colorado, hopefully they do what’s right and open that option to children here.mmj has shown to help with inflammation, pain and to help with the debilitating muscle spasms.There’s a doctor at Harvard who backs medical marijuana for children more law makers should listen to what this man has to say about compassionate care for all citizens.
Are you kidding, does Mr holder know
How ludicrous of a plan this sounds .
To dispense evidence from a conviction
Is illegal and downright stupid,to redistribute
Medicine of any kind shows lack of knowledge
And forsite of medical jane.Someone anyone
Needs to do something smart and fix or
Stop this from going down the wrong path.
Yes I agree FREE WEED and your prisoners
Then your thinking the right way
Colorado has done an excellent job
Thinking about the people wow huh
They have a sound system that does not
Include raiding the evidence room
And then let a Frickin hospital give it out
I see lawsuits a plenty soo call out the gov
Give him a couple hits of knowlage
What I can’t figure out is how George Orwell could foresee all of this more than 65 years ago (in 1948). It must be that he realized human nature is constant.
This is hopeful news for all kinds of suffering! Charles is right, we cannot give up the fight yet! Nothing is written in stone. Cuomo and other lawmakers need to see the full extent of what legalization can do for New York State’s finances for one. They also need to implement a user friendly policy of access such as in other states. It should not take a long time to get relieving medication, and it should be handled by experts in the field.
Signed, a disabled New Yorker living in chronic pain with multiple medical conditions not completely relieved by prescription medications and other treatments who has trouble sleeping and functioning, unfortunately one of a great many
In South Carolina there’s even talk for Medical Marijuana….
Just a small thing to consider about New York’s Medical Cannabis sources. There’s absolutely no way on earth that the state of New York could use seized cannabis for its program or any other program for that matter. The liability for such an act is huge. There’s no tell what chemicals were used during the growing or curing cycles of these plants. It would be a reckless act that would surely be capitalized on in a wrongful death lawsuit that the citizens of the state would pay for. They will have to get it from a controlled source like Mississippi that has documented traceability of the goods.
The problem is that the State police and DEA will be the main suppliers for MMJ for Hospitals. There will be absolutely no consistency in quality or even knowing if the medicine is organic “Chem” Free. So far this seem like a recipe for disaster. All I can see is more people being incarcerated for petty Marijuana charges and growers going to prison for at least a year for having a small operation. Someone needs to educate these guys in Albany about what works and what will be detrimental to patients and citizens alike. NYS is just trying to have a monopoly on the industry and crush any freedom that we want as citizens of New York. If hear knocking at the front door it’s the State Police coming to get medicine to distribute for profit, and throw you in jail for growing it!!! Voters stand up for your rights!!!
Jun 5, 2012 “N.Y. governor proposes decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana” Remember that? It didn’t happen! Not because of lack of public support, but because he and the 2 senate majority leaders didn’t follow through. This won’t be any different. Even if it passes, it is merely a stall tactic to prevent legalization.
FACT: 2013 poll showed 82% of NYS residents support full medical marijuana legalization. That support goes far this laughably antiquated hospital distribution program proposed.
In the past Cuomo has been outspoken publicly discrediting the legitimacy of medical marijuana and has blocked any NYS marijuana legalization bills.
NYS needs a referendum and initiative process. This would allow voters to directly vote on full marijuana legalization. The second best option would be to write and call your representative that you want them to support Sen. Krueger’s bill to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana in NYS.
Err, it would sound like Cuomo is looking to kill some medical marijuana patients with plan to distribute contraband to sick people. Is this for real? Is he really looking to do it this way? If so, he hoping someone dies and then he can just shut it down saying, “Well, I tried! Marijuana just isn’t safe.”
Well NY is going to lose me as a taxpayer. I’m not waiting anymore and take my working tax dollars to Colorado.
This is the bill he is resurrecting from the 80’s Pure evil for growers. It states that NYS can and will obtain MMJ from confiscated supplies from Law enforcement agencies. Do you really think New York legislature cares what it’s citizens think???

To Ray. This is what Cuomo wants to do!!! Do you think they actually care what NYS citizens think??? Albany is full of crooked politicians that want to grease the hands of Law Enforcement personnel so they will not be in their sights. Instead you will be.
§ 3397-f. Antonio G. Olivieri controlled substances therapeutic
research program; distribution. 1. The commissioner shall obtain
marijuana through whatever means he deems most appropriate, consistent
with regulations promulgated by the national institute on drug abuse,
the food and drug administration and the drug enforcement administration
and pursuant to the provisions of this article.
2. If, within a reasonable time, the commissioner is unable to obtain
controlled substances pursuant to subdivision one of this section, he
shall conduct an inventory of available sources of such drugs, including
but not limited to the New York state police bureau of criminal
investigation and local law enforcement officials. Said inventory shall
be for the purpose of determining the feasibility of obtaining
controlled substances for use in the program. Upon conducting said
inventory, the commissioner shall contract with the available source for
the receipt of controlled substances.
3. The commissioner shall cause such marijuana to be transferred to a
hospital for distribution to the certified patient pursuant to this
article.
Note the word CONTRACT!= $$$$$$$$ fOR BUSTING PEOPLE and padding the pockets for law enforcement agencies to buy more equipment training prisons etc… Police state here we come!!! God help us all in NY!
@Chris
Thanks for posting the link. All should read it. The governor can do better than offering a bad idea that has so little good for the patients and too much liability to the state.
Your most welcome. I would love to be able to do more to bring about a positive change in NYS.
Legal Medical Marijuana is a good start, however, this should be passed by our full assembly of elected representatives, not one man and his kingly decree.
NY needs a good lawyer ,, a voter anishative
Help from the Feds. This idea is makin my head spin
Don’t understand, we the tax payers hire
Those in office there’s got to b a way
PEACE
End the dictatorship! Protest Cuomo! Protest the Republican leadership! Legalize, tax and regulate recreational cannabis!
Demand the people’s voice be heard. Demand a right to vote on this issue. Demand an end to this tyranny. Demand any adult be allowed to grow at least 6 plants.
Just a little note: Cuomo can do this legally because New York state passed a medical marijuana law in 1980, being the first medical marijuana law ever passed.
He’s not circumventing the lack of a law by issuing an executive order, he is implementing an existing law using an executive order. Big difference.
I don’t know if I’ll get to say this very often about my governor, so I’ll just say, right on Cuomo. You’ve got my vote this year.
So let me get this straight. Cuomo is going to use police confiscated cannabis that has been lying around a evidence locker and give it to a sick patient.
Absurd! Program is set up to fail. Cuomo really is an idiot. It defies logic. When will these idiot Politicans stop it already. Wake up people.
Let the dominoes fall where they may. The war on cannabis consumers has destroyed far more than it has been touted to protect. Our law enforcement organizations have lost the support of the people so they went from protectors to predators with the flip of the budgetary restraits released by corrupt politicians and banker backers.
Well, that’s a Step in the Right Direction. Now we have to Push for Legal Recreational Use in NY.
I Live in NY state, and I for one would love to be able to live my life in peace, and stop worrying that what I do on a Daily Basis could one day land me in the Slammer again.
I served almost a year of time in WV for Marijuana Poss. alone. I was charged with poss. and intent to distribute. I just had four ounces of the Ganga. I smoke that in a Month. 😉 However because I had over the pussy limit of 14 grams. I lost almost three years of my life going through the “System”, The world needs to legalize so no more kids can be put through it. I was 19 when I got Caught. I was 21 by the time I was out of the Prison.
Live Love and Grow.
Be strong, be Strong, and Be STRONG AGAIN!

@ Collin,
You said: “. . .Just remember one of the 1st acts committed by any Socialist or Communist Country . . . Disarm the Citizens.”
With all due respect, you paint your picture here with far too broad a brush. This discussion would undoubtedly be more appropriate on another forum, a political forum, but I’ll just say that if you examine the opening stages of the various Communist revolutions, they all proceeded VERY differently. The Chinese revolution in ’49, for instance, bears little resemblance to Cuba’s a decade late. And no, the first thing Mao did was not to disarm the citizens, lol. Same with the Russian revolutions in ’05 and ’17–disarming the citizens was hardly their first priorities. I get your point, but, again, you’re painting with far too broad a brush. Anyway, back to the marijuana discussions, lol.
I can say a positive step for cannabis but on the other side the manipulation of this for political gain is too evident.
The atrocity that happened to @MarkSS (above) can, in the meantime, be made less likely for many individuals– in the 2007 Norml/MAPS research it was determined that a VAPORIZER delivered 46% of cannabinoid as opposed to 25% with H-ot B-uring O-verdose M-onoxide rolling papers. So instead of “smoking” 4 ounces in a month @Mark could have VAPED a little over 2. (Admittedly I don’t have a known high-use Medical need but I get excellent Inspirational/Occupational results from 2 ounces a YEAR (about 1826 single tokes) vaping with a Long-Stemmed One-Hitter.)
Hello Everybody,
Has anyone heard of C.A.L.M.ca.org ;Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana. WARNING! Do not go on their site. I made that mistake last night. Tonight I tried to get on and they will not let me on their site. There was a legal written document warning that said they are digging up all my information and they are going to do this,that and whatever. I don’t really care,I can handle the heat. But I understand a lot of people are scared of this kind of thing, and rightfully so. So don’t go there.
