The Legacy Market in NYC got a W(in)🏆 last Friday when Mayor Adams promised to not take a “heavy-handed” approach toward those who sell cannabis in the city.
Adams gave New Yorkers his blessing to smoke more pot. “Enjoy yourself, light up, but most importantly, spend some money. We want your money,” he said.

Adams attended The Cannabis World Congress and Business event and during his speech even joked that he was “a bit disappointed” that there wasn’t “a nice scent of weed” in the room and encouraged everyone to get high.
Adams said Friday afternoon that he doesn’t see a need for cracking down on anyone caught dealing ganja out of stores or on the street in the interim.
“There needs to be a system of not heavy-handedness, but going in and explaining to that store that, ‘Listen, you can’t do this,’ give them a warning,” Adams told reporters while attending a cannabis industry expo at the Javits Center in Manhattan.
Is This is the type of energy we want from our Mayors? Will more mayors take this approach on cannabis ?
What are your thoughts?
