While New York lawmakers move to ban e-cigarettes, calling them a "gateway drug," State Senator Heather Steans and State Representative Kelly Cassidy, among others, want to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Marijuana is an illegal controlled substance WELL KNOWN to be a "gateway drug." 

Lawmakers see this as a tax windfall. but taxing marijuana will only drive the cost up, causing the black market to thrive by selling it cheaper, JUST LIKE COLORADO.

Their misguided attempts will put more impaired workers in the workplace, more impaired drivers on our roads and more drugs into the hands of children. 

Take ACTION: Please send a message to your state representative and state senator to urge them to oppose any and all efforts to legalize marijuana. Ask them to oppose HB 2353. Tell them you don't want more impaired workers in the workplace, more impaired drivers on the road or more young people being sucked into a life of addiction.
