Albany, N.Y. State legislators are nearing a deal to legalize recreational marijuana use for adult New Yorkers, but there’s currently an “impasse” on how to to deal with impaired driving and traffic stops by police, said Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins.
“It is a matter of when, not if. We are extremely close; we have continued to have negotiations and really have ironed out a lot of what we think would be important in terms of making sure that we do this right,” Stewart-Cousins said Tuesday during a news conference. “We have reached a little bit of an impasse right now, and it has to do with impaired driving there.”
