In the latest in a series of surveys, New York State Sen. Fred Akshar, R-Endwell, is asking his constituents what they think about legalizing recreational marijuana.
“While I'm personally opposed to legalizing recreational marijuana, it's important for the people of the 52nd Senate District to have a chance to weigh in on this issue,” Akshar said.
The short survey asks constituents if they support or oppose legalizing recreational marijuana, and then allows them to explain their answer.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo included a recreational marijuana plan as a part of the state budget he presented earlier this month. If passed, sales of recreational marijuana could begin as early as April 2020.
