NEW JERSEY LEGALIZATION PRESSURES NEW YORK
As New Jersey begins its journey into cannabis legalization, New York is feeling the pressure to revisit the measure in its own legislature that has been stalled for years. New York has experienced a sharp wave of emigration during Covid as lockdowns closed local businesses, effectively robbing the city of its normal hustle and bustle charm. Many New Yorkers have opted for living in New Jersey while continuing to work in the big apple and access to legal adult use cannabis is only going to drive that trend further.
