Cuomo to push for legal marijuana Reid Wilson © Getty Images Cuomo to push for legal marijuana New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) will back legislation to legalize and regulate marijuana for recreational use, his latest effort to join neighboring states with legal markets. In remarks this week, Cuomo cast the effort as a move to reform the criminal justice system, and an acknowledgement of trends set by other states. He said a legal and regulatory structure for pot sales would eventually raise $300 million for state coffers. Recreational marijuana, I think this should ve been passed years ago. I think too many people have been imprisoned and incarcerated and punished. Too many of those people are Black, Latino and poor, Cuomo said Wednesday. I ve supported it for years. I ve tried to pass it, but this is a year where we do need the funding, and a lot of New Yorkers are struggling. So I think this year will give us the momentum to get it over the goal line.
