OCM admits calculation of cannabis shops from schools didn't follow the law

The state created a $15 million fund to relocate impacted businesses, but some say that won't be enough.

$15M of our taxes is going to help relocate pot shops because the gov can't measure distance properly.

So the store licenses will not be renewed and the pot store owners will sue the state and WIN...

Just another example of D E I at work...

Freaking morons. I love it

Why in the world does it matter if they're close to schools?

"Wanna get some grass?"

"I would, but that shop is like 600 feet away!"

Talk about virtue signal.

So I'm confused. Why does a weed shop have to be a certain distance from schools? Weed is good, yes? If the state sanctions it's sale it must be OK. Cunty Whorecul has the safety of NY'ers as #1 on her priority list, so why not have a weed shop next to a school?

"If private Santiago wasn't in any danger......then why did he have to be transferred off the base?"

Maybe they're worried about 21 year old's leaving school to buy pot during lunch?

Because having it close to where kids gather would influence them into participating in drugs.

Unlike gay porn books and bibles right there in the schools which don't influence them at all.

Make it make sense.

During their 5th grade recess break?

When I went to high school, there was weed IN the school. Usually in some of the students lockers or pockets. Cigarettes too. Smokin' in the boys room. I'm just saying.

The law was stupid to begin with. They were supposed to use the rule that applies to liquor stores which uses the property line. Someone in Albany saw the problem, realized that there was serious revenue to be raised, and passed this law through the illiterate morons who do not read anything with clarity and detail.

Let's face it. Anything bad becomes good as soon as the state figures out a way to fleece the public.

And that’s an example of why it should be allowed??? J/k.

They want to allow a rather large grow operation to come into my town around homes. It will stink. They need a variance to do this because it’s residential zoning. Plenty of open buildings around me in commercial areas do it there.
I don’t think legalizing weed was wise and solved zero issues. I hate the smell of it and now I smell it everywhere. People smoke it while driving all the time and I see it regularly. No one was getting locked up for it in NYS anyway and now they are enforcing weed laws more than before with licenses.

The regulations around it are stupid. They allow weed to be sold but you can’t sell other food there. Don’t they know about the munchies.

Nah, it's just an example of how stupid the issue is.

I was recently told that a person in NY can purchase weed and or alcohol online and have it delivered to their home address. But not cigarettes for some reason, cigarettes are a no-go, but weed and alcohol are okay. That doesn't make any sense. IMO

I'm a proponent of freedom, so I'm fine with the above, but cigs should be allowed too.
And of course, ammo too. I can remember having ammo shipped to my door, with no ammo BGCs involved. But I'm straying off topic again, so over and out.

Those shops were in direct conflict / competition with the sale of weed in school, hence the need to move them.
Back when I was in high school we had a designated smokers path out in back of the cafeteria. The high school was less than a 1/4 mile from town. One could basically walk out onto the smokers path, do a hit or three and walk into town to the bakery, connivence store or McDonalds during lunch and be back in time for class, if you were so inclined. Most of the time we would just ask some over 18 person to buy us a sixer and we would skip the rest of the day and go to whoever’s house that had both parents working and hang out.
aaah the good ol days of high school.

For some reason they hate tobacco and love weed. I think they portray weed as a great equalizer and make it seem like big business isn’t profiting off weed. They will come to hate weed when studies are done and more big business gets involved. It’s only a matter of time.
