A typical medical marijuana farm.

 

Governor Andrew Cuomo has put the kibosh* on plans to legalize medical marijauana in New York this year. Cuomo said that the matter is complicated and requires more study.

 

Democratic lawmakers have attempted to pass similar bils in 2005, 2007, and 2008. A bill would be difficult to get through New York’s Republican majority State Senate, especially after conservative outrage over the state’s recent legalization of same sex marriages.

 

State Senator Diane Savino of Staten Island still plans to introduce legislation early this summer to legalize the drug for medical purposes. Savino lost both parents to cancer and sent a letter to Governor Cuomo last summer urging “compassion” on this issue. “Anyone who has watched a loved one struggle with a debilitating illness would do almost anything to help alleviate their pain,” she wrote.

 

71% of New Yorkers approve of legalizing medical marijuana. The drug is available with a doctor’s prescription in 16 states and the District of Columbia.

 

* “Put the kibosh on” was a sly reference to drug slang for smoking a marijuana cigarette laced with DMT, a powerful hallucinogenic. Did you notice it?
