<title>New York Judge&amp;#8217;s Plea For Medical Cannabis</title>
<description><![CDATA[A sitting judge who is still hearing cases made his support for marijuana as medicine public in a moving op-ed piece in the <i>New York Times</i>. Gustin L. Reichbach, a justice of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three and a half years ago. He has survived far longer than his doctors anticipated. And on Wednesday, he further demonstrated his strength of character and conviction by publicly endorsing medical cannabis.

<title>Gov Nixes Potential Medical Pot Bill in New York</title>
<description><![CDATA[It looks like New York State will have to wait another year (at least) before medical marijuana legislation has a chance to pass. While a bill that would legalize pot for medicinal use is forthcoming in the New York Legislature, Governor Andrew Cuomo publicly acknowledged this week that he would not sign such a bill.
&#160;
According to Gov Cuomo, the cons outweigh the pros regarding medical cannabis. Cuomo went on to state &ldquo;There are tremendous risks &hellip; I think the risks outweigh &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/7622">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Marijuana Arrests Drop in NYC</title>
<description><![CDATA[Back in September New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly issued an internal order cautioning NY cops not to make arrests for possession of pot in public view if the marijuana was found in pockets or bags. This policy change came about after Kelly was pressured by protests over New York City&rsquo;s staggering number of minor marijuana arrests.
&#160;
Possession of up to 25 grams of pot in NYC is a civil violation. However, when the pot is not concealed, it becomes a criminal offense. &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/7437">More</a>]]></description>

<title>NYC Tenant Fights Eviction for Pot &quot;Odor&quot;</title>
<description><![CDATA[New York may not be the most pot friendly city. After all, there&rsquo;s no state medical marijuana law and the NYPD likes nothing better than running you through the system if they catch you with a joint. Most NYC tokers opt for a lower profile &ndash; particularly when smoking outdoors. However, most view their home as their sanctuary. A place where they can kick back and smoke a bowl after a long, taxing day of battling tourists, traffic and overcrowded subways.

<title>NYPD Must Stop Improper Marijuana Arrests</title>
<description><![CDATA[The NYPD has long had a reputation for overzealously pursuing marijuana arrests &ndash; particularly if the possessor of said marijuana happens to be young and black or Latino. NYC arrests more people for marijuana possession than any other city in the world and 90 percent of those arrested are black or Latino.

Recently public display of marijuana became a news item as forward thinking city council members attempted to close a loophole in NYC law by reclassifying &ldquo;the public &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/7309">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Council Members Aim to Change Racially Biased Marijuana Arrests in NYC</title>
<description><![CDATA[New York City&rsquo;s overzealous pursuit of marijuana possession arrests has been well documented. The New York Civil Liberties Union notes &ldquo;New York City now arrests and jails more people for possessing marijuana than any city in the United States, and more than any city in the world.&rdquo; In fact, more than 350,000 low-level marijuana possession arrests have been made since 2002.
&#160;
While the sheer number of arrests is staggering, the racial inequity is undeniable. Nearly 90 &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/7249">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Pot Smoking Parents Face Custody Battles</title>
<description><![CDATA[After finding roughly 10 grams of marijuana in a woman&rsquo;s home in the Bronx, police tipped off child welfare. In New York, possession of such a small amount of pot is a civil offense, so no charges were filed against the woman. Nonetheless, child welfare removed her 10-year-old son and 8-year-old niece from her home, placing each in foster care.
&#160;
The ensuing investigation revealed that the marijuana belonged to the woman&rsquo;s boyfriend (she tested negative for drugs), yet her &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/7246">More</a>]]></description>

<title>John Butler Trio, Terminal 5, New York City, NY</title>
<description><![CDATA[With spacey guitar finger work, John Butler Trio<b> </b>eased the crowd in with &#034;One Way Road&#034; the first single off&#160;the band's most recent studio album (<i>April Uprising</i>, 2010) to open their second night at Terminal 5 in New York City.
&#160;

Alternating between slide and his own unique style of finger-picking on his 17 and 18-stringed guitars, Butler, also the lead vocalist for the band, cruised&#160;into the anthem-like (to HIGH TIMES listeners, perhaps) tune &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/blog/nycjamgal/7221">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Cuomo To Study Medical Marijuana Legalization</title>
<description><![CDATA[New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced last week that he is &ldquo;studying&rdquo; the possibility of legalizing medical marijuana, an open-minded approach given his personal opposition to legal medi-pot &ndash; a stance that has not changed.
&#160;
&ldquo;We have proponents of the policy. I know New Jersey's looking at it. We have opponents of the policy,&rdquo; Cuomo said. &ldquo;We're talking to both sides of the issue, if you will, and we're reviewing it, but we don't have a final &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mmiller/7213">More</a>]]></description>
