New York City Law Decriminalizing Public Display of Cannabis Now in Effect
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio giving an example of how much cannabis will be allowed in public.
Under New York State law, the possession of up to 25 grams of cannabis is a ticketable, not an arrestable offense. However, for years police in New York City have continued to make thousands of misdemeanor cannabis charges annually, based on cannabis being in public display (which in most all instances was due to police forcing people on the streets to empty their pockets). The new law changes this by making it a simple ticket for having up to 25 grams of cannabis in public display (although smoking in public will remain illegal).
The new law is expected to stop tens of thousands of arrests annually.

I think marijuana should be legal to have as long as it was an ounce or less. I am 64yr. young and I have probably broken my bones about 35 times and the only thing that helps me is marijuana. Who knows there might be something in it to cure all health. Thanks lol
