Pot users and businesses are at risk under our new president, and only saying that we want marijuana legalized isn’t enough. We need to share our stories—share why the plant and the culture are so important to us, regardless if it's for recreational or medical reasons.
MERRY JANE News ventured out and asked New Yorkers their thoughts behind wanting marijuana legalization, as you will see in the video above. But New York is just one piece of the puzzle, and we need to hear your voice next.
