The lawmakers in the United States have finally reached an agreement. They are going to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana a.k.a weed in the state of New York. This is not a joke. This is not a drill.

There are at least 14 other states out there that already allow its residents to buy marijuana for recreational purposes, but NYC’s past efforts to legalize it had failed up until now.

The legislation would allow marijuana sales only to adults over the age of 21. As per the government, the Democrats who have a majority vote have estimated legalization could bring the state about $350 million annually. That’s a lot of moo-lah! Green in exchange of green.
For personal consumption, even the individual New Yorkers could grow up to three mature and three immature marijuana plants.

The state of New York would set about 9% sales tax on cannabis along with an additional 4% tax split between the county and local government. There is also going to be an elimination in penalties for possession of less than three ounces of cannabis.
Well, get your Bob Marley playlist and some munchies ready, ’cause you and your buddies can soon legally spark a blunt. What a day to be alive, yeah?
