NYC Council calls on state to legalize medical marijuana

Message: 

The New York City Council sent a strong message to Albany Wednesday when it overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for the state to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. The Council passed Resolution 94-A by a whopping 44-3 margin (with one member abstaining from the vote).

Please add your voice to the New York City Council’s and urge state lawmakers to pass an effective medical marijuana law.

Sixteen states, plus the District of Columbia, allow medical marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation. Shouldn’t New York be one of the next states to demonstrate compassion for seriously ill patients? Please take action today!
