New York State Sen. Liz Krueger, along with four of her colleagues, has introduced SB 1747, the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act.

The bill would treat marijuana like alcohol, similar to the laws of Colorado, Washington, Alaska, and Oregon, allowing adults to use, possess, and cultivate limited amounts of marijuana with no penalty. The bill would also set up a taxed and regulated market for marijuana production and sale.

If you are a New York resident, please urge your state legislators to support SB 1747 and sensible marijuana policy reform.
