On May 18, 2018, the front page of this newspaper and an editorial in this column announced a new Daily News stance: It was long past time to allow taxed and regulated marijuana sales here. On this day loosely considered the annual marijuana holiday, we hold to that position but must sadly reiterate: New York State has royally botched the rollout of adult-use cannabis. Catchup efforts are too little, too late.
This week, Gov. Hochul began a “Why Buy Legal New York” ad campaign promoting legal weed stores — which is to say, the measly five legit storefronts in the city, none of which are in Brooklyn or the Bronx. They are islands of by-the-rules sellers in an ocean of more than 1,600 gray-market dealers.
