Now when Bloomberg infringes on your second and fourth amendment rights, at least you won't be arrested for a very small amount of pot. He's still hardly an FF.

I actually don't like Bloomberg.....you can't have a fycking cheesburger or sugary drink in NYC, but a doobie is fine?  LOL. 

Those two things are unhealthy; weed isn't.

Blomberg was indeed persecuted by the Nazis himself, but that still doesn't excuse his earlier service on their behalf.

This guy really is a textbook New Democrat, isn't he? Continually sell out left-wing economic principles and get American liberals by being on the forefront on social issues. He's very impressive.

drug control is an economic issue.

I see that the virgin nancyboys of the Atlas haven't done in-depth reading on marijuana use. Have you guys heard of vaporizers or edibles?

Still doesn't change the fact that he's just the equivalent of a standard European conservative.

Someone has no clue about New York or Cuomo!

He didn't mention anything about the political spectrum in New York or Cuomo's place in it.

So what? He is wrong.

Cuomo is trying hard to win over the DeadFlags of the world.

You know, when you're starting to reefer to yourself in plural, you're getting banned, just like it happened to the jmfcsts.

Reefer, lol

I care more about aid to homeless children than the right to smoke a joint. He's a socially liberal Chris Christie.
for a lot of people being arrested for marijuana has been a de-facto death sentence. what about all the people that have been sent to prison and subsequently got aids from being raped or were otherwise fatally assaulted by in mates? or all the people whose homes have been wrongly targeted by drug enforcement and subsequently shot by them? or people killed in the crossfire? this isn't just some issue that effects stoners, if it was i wouldn't really give a sh**t.

Yeah, their main schtick was supporting the death penalty and being "tough on crime."  Bizarre forum caricature of Cuomo is more like the Gary Hart/Jerry Brown "New Democrats."  Of course I fail to see how a minor tax cut while raising rates for high-income individuals in the highest-tax state in the country makes one a "conservative."

how many people are homeless at a given moment anyway? not to trivialize it but i'd wager that the amount of people arrested for this is probably a lot higher.

not only that but a lot of new democrats tended to be very pro censorship, think clinton (take your pick), tipper gore, lieberman, etc.

I'm still not sure as to how supposedly conservative Cuomo is since I haven't heard many details on that, but I will point out that this gives him the same position on the issue as Sarah Palin.
