Speaker of the House Joe Shekarchi
Both the outgoing and incoming governors as well as the Senate President have indicated that marijuana for recreational use will likely be legalized this year. They also believe legalization has been adequately studied and the time is right. Essentially, moving from medicalization and decriminalization to outright legalization will be an endorsement of another addictive substance in addition to tobacco and alcohol.
However, House Speaker Joseph Shekarchi has said he will convene a study commission before deciding whether to proceed. Perhaps this is because he is aware that the issue has never had the benefit of a thorough, evidence-based, independent and objective study.
