Would Getting the ‘Green’ Light Be a Big Boost for New York?

It’s been years in the making, but New York might finally legalize the use of recreational marijuana. Albany lawmakers are closer than ever to striking a deal.

NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez, and Gloria Pazmino discuss the details of the tentative agreement and explain how legalization could affect New Yorkers, especially in minority communities.

They also weigh in on the race for mayor, as the field is shrinking and the frontrunners are starting to throw punches at each other.

We want to hear from you, especially what you think about cannabis legalization:
