Imithetho emitsha ivumela ukuthengiswa kwe-cannabis yokuzonwabisa kumazwe angaphezu kwama-20, kodwa ihlala ingekho semthethweni phantsi komthetho womdibaniso, okwenza ukuba ukuthengisa ishishini le-cannabis kube nzima. Eli liCandelo 3 loluhlu,I-Spliff kunye nodaka.
Iivenkile ze-cannabis ezingavumelekanga eNew York zikhula ngathi-yiyiphi enye into? - ukhula.
Ukusukela ukuba umthetho osemthethweni wentsangu wokuzonwabisa upasiswe kurhulumente ngo2021, kuphelaezineAbathengisi be-cannabis abanelayisensi bavulile eNew York, xa kuthelekiswangaphezu kwe-1,400iivenkile ezingenalayisenisi.
Kwaye ngelixa ezinye zezo venkile zinokubonakala zingekho mthethweni, ezinye zinkulu kwaye zinomtsalane wokwakha.
"Ezinye zezi venkile ziyoyikeka," uJoanne Wilson, usozimali oyingelosi kunye nomseki weGotham, indawo yokuthengisa yokuthengisa enelayisensi ecwangciselwe ukuvulwa kwi420 iholide(NgoAprili 20), wasixelela. “Bayaphawulwa, bakwinqanaba eliphezulu, bangoosomashishini. Iyathetha kumoya woshishino ohlala kwisiXeko saseNew York. ”
Kodwa ngelixa uWilson enokuba nentlonipho ekrwada kwezinye zezo venkile, uyacaphuka kukuba ababotshwanga ngobuninzi.imithethoabathengisi abanelayisensi kufuneka balandele, okanye amazinga erhafu ukubaEzopolitikoUqikelelo luphezulu ukuya kuma-70%. Uye wathi izohlwayo kunye namanye amanyathelo athathiweyo ngokuchasene neevenkile ezingagunyaziswanga azanelanga.
“Bafanele ukuba bahlawulise isiqingatha sesigidi seedola,” utshilo uWilson.
Kodwa njengoko amagosa esixeko kunye norhulumente elinganisa amanyathelo angqongqo okuvala iivenkile, bafuna ukunqanda amaqhinga emfazwe-kwiziyobisi anokubonakala ngathi achasene nokusemthethweni kwe-cannabis. Sekunjalo, ngoxa ukwanda kweendawo zokugcina ukhula ezingenampepha-mvume kusenokubonakala kungathandekiyo njengeso sixekoiimpuku, bathi isisombululo siyavela. Eso sisombululo asinakufika kwakamsinyane kwiivenkile ezinelayisenisi, ebezilindeleke ukuba zixhamle kwinto entsha yokuthengisa i-cannabis kuphela ukuvula iingcango zabo kwiindawo ezixineneyo ziivenkile ezingagunyaziswanga.
Imbiza ngasemva kwendlu yam:ENew York, esona sixeko sinabantu abaninzi e-US, iivenkile ze-cannabis ezingagunyaziswanga ezingama-1,400 zinokungabonakali ngathi zininzi kangako. Kodwa loo nto ingaphezulu kwenani elipheleleyo leendawo zokuthengisa zamatyathanga amathathu aphezulu eNew York ezidityanisiweyo:

IDunkin' ineendawo ezingama-620 eNew York, iStarbucks inama-316, kwaye iMetro yeT-Mobile inama-295, ngokutsho kuka-2022.idathaukusuka kwiZiko leKamva leDolophu.
Iinzame ezidibeneyo:INew York inikeokubalulekileyokubafaki-zicelo abanezigwebo zentsangu ezidlulileyo kwibhetshi yokuqala yeelayisensi ze-cannabis ukuthatha oko uTrivette Knowles, igosa leendaba zoluntu kunye nomphathi wokufikelela kuluntu kwiOfisi yaseNew York yoLawulo lweCannabis (OCM), wasixelela ukuba "yindlela yokuqala yobulungisa yokusemthethweni. .”
Hlala usesikhathini kwishishini lokuthengisa
Zonke iindaba kunye nokuqonda abachwephesha abathengisa kufuneka bazi, zonke kwincwadana enye. Joyina ngaphezulu kwe-180,000 yeengcali zokuthengisa ngokubhalisa namhlanje.

Bhalisa

Ukuhla nzima kakhulu kubathengisi be-cannabis abangagunyaziswanga kubeka emngciphekweni wokuba sisohlwayo esiqatha ngokuthengisa intsangu ukuba i-OCM ithetha ukuyilungisa.
“Asifuni mfazwe yeziyobisi 2.0,” utshilo u-Knowles, kodwa wagxininisa ukuba nangona iarhente yakhe yayingekho “ukukuvalela entolongweni okanye ukukuvalela,” yayingacwangcisi ukungazihoyi iivenkile ezingenampepha-mvume.
“I-OCM isebenzisana namaqabane ethu asekuhlaleni ukuqinisekisa ukuba ezi venkile zingenampepha-mvume ziyavalwa,” utshilo u-Knowles.
USodolophu waseNew York u-Eric Adams kunye neGqwetha leSithili uAlvin BraggibhengezwengoFebruwari ukuba babejolise kubanini-mhlaba abaqeshisa kwiivenkile ezingenampepha-mvume.
Iofisi kaBragg yathumela ama-400iiletakubanini-mhlaba bebabongoza ukuba bakhuphe iivenkile ezingenazo iimpepha-mvume, kwaye belumkisa umthetho welizwe ugunyazisa isixeko ukuba sithathele ingqalelo inkqubo yokugxotha ukuba abanini-mhlaba bayabhuda.
“Asinakuyeka de yonke ivenkile yomsi engekho semthethweni isongiwe kwaye itshaye,” utshilo uSodolophu uAdams kwinkomfa yabezindaba.
Indlela ye-bong kunye namajiko-jiko:U-Jesse Campoamor, ogxile kumgaqo-nkqubo we-cannabis njengosekela unobhala wemicimbi karhulumente phantsi kwe-Rhuluneli yaseNew York u-Andrew Cuomo, yi-CEO ye-Campoamor kunye ne-Sons, inkampani yokubonisana esebenza nabaxumi be-cannabis.
UCampoamor, oqikelela ukuba inani leevenkile ezingagunyaziswanga likhule laya kutsho “kufutshane ne-2,000,” uthe iqhinga lokubhenela kubanini-mhlaba linokunceda, ephawula ukuba uLawulo lwaseBloomberg lusebenzise iqhinga elifanayo ukuvala uninzi lweevenkile ezithengisa iimpahla zomgunyathi.Chinatownngo-2008.
“Oku kuya kusonjululwa; umbuzo ngowokukhawuleza kangakanani,” utshilo uCampoamor. "Kuthathe iminyaka engama-20 ukuya kwengama-50 ukutshabalalisa ishishini lotywala le-bootleg emva kwe-Prohibition, ngoko ke akukho nto iza kwenzeka ngobusuku."
Kodwa uCampoamor uthe ukuba iivenkile ezingalayisenisi ekugqibeleni ziyavalwa, abathengisi abanelayisenisi abavula emva koko banokuba kumgangatho ongcono kunabo bambalwa “abahambisa imakethi” abavulelekileyo ngoku.
"Impuku yokuqala iya kufumana umgibe," kusho uCampoamor. “Impuku yesibini iza kufumana itshizi.”
