FDA Makes Sure Marijuana Stays Illegal New York has been seriously considering lowering marijuana possession penalties. We all know that most people smoke marijuana, yet 45,000 people have been arrested last year for possession alone. Most of those people are young colored men. Arrests, prosecutions and incarcerations can cost the state up to $75 million in taxpayers’ dollars per year. Regardless of what your stand is on marijuana, we are quite sure you would like to reduce the expenses that go into jailing somebody who had a joint on them in a somewhat inappropriate moment. Additionally, that’s not where those expenses end because rehabilitation is a major factor in every drug related prosecution. Gov. Cuomo will probably play a major role in the decriminalization of marijuana in New York as he wholeheartedly agrees with everything we just wrote.
