Mayor Bill de Blasio commended the state legislature and advocates for last night’s groundbreaking passing of the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, or S.854-A, in his morning briefing on Wednesday.
De Blasio said they “acted to right a wrong” in legalizing weed and worked to include the most impacted communities in the bill.
“Last night the state legislature made history,” said de Blasio. “I want to thank the leadership for being so conscientious over several years. Really studying the issue carefully, focusing on the right way to do things with a particular eye to addressing the mistakes of the past.”
