The state's Cannabis Control Board is considering relaxing the ban on legal pot shops being closer to each other than 1,000 feet.New York’s legal-pot disaster just keeps on getting more disastrous: But judging by this latest brainstorm, OCM is still a dysfunctional madhouse.
No shocker, really: The progressive goofballs in charge there completely bungled the state’s legal weed rollout by favoring former crooks for licenses, which resulted in serious litigation, along with myriad other shenanigans. They followed the law and went through a Byzantine process to get the state’s stamp of approval on their biz.
The bad execution, which resulted in lawsuits by would-be licensed sellers, and the specious, pie-in-the-sky hope that somehow legalizing pot would increase “equity” were insults added to the injury. But what New York must have is real enforcement against the illegal shops and strict controls on the legal ones.
