Medical Pot for New York? Lawmakers Reach Deal with Cuomo

Governor Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers announced a deal on Thursday that would allow limited access to medical marijuana and make New York the 23rd U.S. state to offer some kind of availability of the drug for therapeutic purposes.

The program, which would bar smoking of marijuana but allow it to be eaten or vaporized, would be regulated by the state's Department of Health under the deal. It includes a "fail-safe" provision that would allow the governor to stop the program at any time, Cuomo told a news conference in the state capital Albany.

The plan still needs final approval in the state legislature.

"I always supported the concept of if you can get the medical benefits of medical marijuana to a suffering patient, clearly you would want to do that," said Cuomo, a Democrat. "My trepidation has always been the risk. This bill virtually eliminates the risk."

speaking from the NY front lines, i sure wasn't dancing in the street over this
i was resigned to what we were going to get, plenty of signals had been dropped in the press releases over the last year
i was actually hoping they would walk away from the deal on the legislative side, get somebody other than Cuomo to deal with, he's like a reformed prostitute on the church committee
such is life, it's a start

And I heard crime was pretty rampant in New York.
