Survey: Most New Yorkers Support Legal Weed But Not Near Their Home
As marijuana legalization in New York continues to be on the fast track, with Gov. Andrew Cuomo expressing his support, an issue of cannabis retail locations arises.
According to the Consensus Strategies study, 52% of New Yorker City residents oppose marijuana sales in their neighborhoods. The fight to find viable sites will be intense, Consensus Strategies CEO Patrick Fox said Wednesday.
Even though 61% of those living in New York State support the legalization of adult-use cannabis sales, the number of those willing to live near retail and cultivation facilities is significantly lower.
