Andrew Cuomo, Likely New York's Next Governor, Opposes Medical Marijuana

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is generally thought of as a progressive, blindsided New Yorkers yesterday, when he publicly came out against medical marijuana legislation. Cuomo, who has admitted using marijuana recreationally in the past, said “the dangers on medical marijuana outweigh the benefits,” and compared legalizing proven medicine to legalizing prostitution. This is an incredibly disappointing move by AG Cuomo, who is out of touch with the medical community, and with the vast majority of his constituents.

If you live in New York, please help us reach out to AG Cuomo and explain why he is wrong for opposing compassionate medical marijuana legislation.
