In January, Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a plan to legalize recreational marijuana in New York State. The proposal has led to a debate.
We sit down with members of Roc NORML, a group that supports the decriminalization of cannabis; and members of local law enforcement, who who say legalizing marijuana would negatively impact traffic safety and impose additional costs to police departments.
In studio:
- Steve VanDeWalle, deputy chief of Roc NORML
- Jason Klimek, legal advisor for Roc NORML
- Patrick Phelan, Chief of the Greece Police Department and board member for the New York Association of Chiefs of Police
- Thomas Dougherty, Sheriff of Livingston County
