Weed

They might be a bit off about guns and about abortion in the US, but they are getting around to being sensible about marijuana. I read this morning that, since 2021, the stuff has been more or less legal in New York State, along with 15 other states.

How long will it take the truss? I would think it a fair bet that she is not unacquainted with recreational substances - so will she get on with reform once she has cut her ties with the white, male, elderly Tory faithful who are going to elect her?

PS: not sure how this new state law sits with what I believe to be the contradicting federal law.
