County Officials Begin Discussion on Expected Marijuana Legalization in New York State
MAYVILLE – The
Chautauqua County Board of Health held its monthly meeting Thursday and near the end of the session Jamestown legislator
Elisabeth Rankin had asked if health officials had any thoughts on the renewed call to legalize recreational marijuana in this year’s proposed state budget. The governor is calling for legalization to help boost revenue through a cannabis tax.
Rankin wanted to know specifically, if the county were given the option, would health officials take a position on whether or not to allow cannabis products to be sold in the county.
