2. Your post title is a little misleading

I thought you meant New York state, not New York City.

3. Nope - "de Blasio instructed police to issue summonses for smoking weed". n/t

4. You do know New York is a state right?

And pot is not legal in New York. You can't even smoke it for medical marijuana ?

5. It is not legalized

It will be treated like a traffic offense. If you are stopped for speeding you have broken a law and could be taken to jail to post bond and/or await trial, but the procedure is to give you a ticket which you must either pay or show up in court to contest.
Pot will be treated the same way; you get a citation with a fine but you are not taken in.

6. Cuomo v. De Blasio. Vote Nixon in the primary!!
