This has been a great week for marijuana.
First the year began with upwards of $1 million worth of weed being sold on the first day of legalization in Colorado, now New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has reportedly seen the light and will announce an executive action that will allow limited use of medical marijuana in the state.
Be advised that New York's medical marijuana plan will be extremely stringent:
None
The New York Times reports that while the state aims to begin providing medical marijuana this year, it's still too early to pinpoint when, exactly, patients will be able to indulge. The Times also notes that Cuomo changed his mind about medical marijuana in New York because he's convinced his plan can truly help those in need.
It also doesn't hurt that he's up for election and polls have shown overwhelming support for medical marijuana in the state.
