Bill would ban cannabis consumption in public places

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:46:43 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- New York is one of 23 states that legalized recreational cannabis use. As the state continues opening dispensaries, Republican lawmakers have proposed a bill to prohibit smoking in public. Some say, the bill doesn’t stand a chance.  "Today's marijuana is not your grandfather's pot," said sponsor of the bill, Senator George Borrello. Right now, smoking pot is allowed anywhere you can smoke tobacco. Borrello's bill would ban the consumption or smoking of cannabis in public places unless a municipality opts in. Contaminated Superfund sites in the Capital Region He said since marijuana has become decriminalized, he’s received countless complaints from constituents about the smell and public intoxication. "So this is about creating essentially an open container law like you have for alcohol only for marijuana and I think it’s desperately needed right now," said Borrello. Last year, the Governor signed a bill to ban smoking cigarettes and marijuana in public par...
