SARANAC LAKE — New York legalized recreational marijuana for adult use Wednesday, and local residents spoken to on the street were mostly stoked that it’s now legal to smoke.
Some said they do not use cannabis but support legalization for legal and taxation reasons. Others said they partake daily and were glad their use of the drug is legal now.

Locals spoken to Wednesday all said they believe legalization has been a long time coming. That said, some had questions about how the state will keep use of cannabis safe.
“I don’t have a lot of strong thoughts either way, actually,” Sue West of Bloomingdale said. “I’m not really opposed or really in favor.”
