And then in 1998 Alaska, Oregon, Washington. Later medical marijuana was legalized in other states i.e Arizona(2010), Colorado(2000), DC(2010), Delaware(2011), Hawaii(2000), Maine(1999), Michigan(2008), Montana(2004), Nevada(2000), New Jersey(2010), New Mexico(2007), Rhode Island(2006) and Vermont(2004).

Hopefully as soon as possible. I hope this cartoon I drew will cheer you up. Liberty stands for freedom, and her presence is merely ironic rather than true in the police state that we find ourselves in as a result of these awful dehumanizing laws. In the 3rd world country that we find ourselves in. In the future dystopian 1984 that we find ourselves in, as a result of these dreadful laws.
What are the chances New York State will pass medical marijuana legislation in the foreseeable future?
I am from New York orginally, and both of my parents could benefit from a medical cannabis program. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there has been much progress. The most recent update I could find on this subject is from the Marijuana Policy Project's website:Source: http://www.mpp.org/states/new-york/Updated: August 2011"Despite the work of MPP, lobbyist Vince Marrone, and patients and advocates over more than eight years, seriously ill New Yorkers are sadly still waiting for a medical marijuana law. Although Sen. Tom Duane (D-Manhattan) introduced S.B. 2774, it is extremely unlikely that a bill would move without a Republican sponsor in a Republican-controlled Senate. S.B. 2774 did not even get a vote in committee this year. Its Assembly counterpart, A. 7347, passed out of three committees, but did not get a floor vote before the legislature recessed for the summer.Please write your legislators and urge them to support the swift enactment of medical marijuana legislation.Led by champion, Asm. Dick Gottfried (D-Manhattan), the Assembly passed an effective marijuana bill twice, in June 2007 (95-52) and June 2008 (89-52), but the Republican-controlled Senate did not call a vote. During the 2009-2010 session, after Democrats narrowly took control of the Senate, the bill, with new momentum, advanced through several committees. In 2010, the Senate included medical marijuana in its budget resolution, and victory was close, but then-Gov. David Paterson forced its last-minute removal from the budget. Ultimately, Majority Conference Leader John Sampson (D-Brooklyn) did not call a vote for S. 8427.Voters gave Republicans back control of the Senate, 32-30, in November 2010, and it will now be challenging to get a vote called. You can see how (and if) your state senator responded on our medical marijuana 2008 and 2010 candidate questionnaires, and you can also see how your Assemblymember voted if he or she was in office in 2008. As the legislature lags behind, public support for medical marijuana remains strong. A 2007 poll found that 55% of Conservative Party voters favor allowing medical marijuana. A February 2010 Quinnipiac poll found that 71% of all New Yorkers believe it’s a good idea to allow adults to legally use doctor-prescribed medical marijuana."Please email Nmamber@mpp.org if you are a NYS mmj patient who would like to see a change.
What is medical, semi-legal marijuana going to look like in NY state?
The law passed just yesterday by the NY Legislature is a complete political joke, and a ruse by Cuomo to make it seem that he's progressive. It bans "smoking" and only allows ingestibles, tinctures and vaporizing which defies all the convention wisdom as to safety and efficacy. Further it limits legality to prescriptions for only 20 infirmities. What's worse is that the law does not deal with how these ingestibles, tinctures and oils will be effectively manufactured or distributed. The law is a complete mess that will only lead to chaos and confusion.
