Source: Medical marijuana “high-ly” likely to pass in New York
The Empire State may soon join over 20 other jurisdictions in the country that have embraced medical marijuana, lending critical relief to chronically-injured patients.
The New York State Senate is now deliberating a bill that easily passed in the State Assembly last month. Negotiations are sensitive and ongoing, but passage appears to be within reach. The Governor is likely to sign any proposed legislation into law, despite professed reservations, sources say.
“It’s looking good,” a source working on the legislation tells Brooklyn Brief, who did not wish to be named due to the sensitive and ongoing nature of the negotiations. “We believe it will be taken up right before the end of the legislative session and we’re hopeful it will pass.”
