How wokeness turned New York into Weed City
[FoxNews] NY’s half-baked weed legalization gets mayor to send law enforcement after illegal dealers
They wanted the Black cop Democrat who promised to be just like a Republican instead of the genuine Republican. It turns out Black and cop don’t modify Democrat — those words are just window dressing for the same old NYC Progressive..
New York City is being overrun with unlicensed marijuana retailers. It seemed to happen almost overnight. Suddenly there were signs in front of smoke shops advertising pre-roll THC joints; there are edibles at many bodegas. Gotham is awash in weed. How did this happen? Wokeness. Allow me to explain.

Twenty months ago, New York state legalized retail sales of marijuana, but with a woke catch. As a form of reparations, the state decided to give licenses to sell pot almost exclusively to people who had been previously convicted of marijuana offenses.
