"and says that public cannabis consumption should be prohibited “unless at locally regulated consumption sites.”

“I have been convinced that we can establish a regulatory framework that keeps our streets safe, rights the wrongs of the past and gives economic opportunity to communities hit hardest by the war on drugs,” de Blasio said in a statement to The New York Times."

The mayor’s letter spells out what he thinks a legal marijuana industry should look like.

“We’ve seen these kinds of new industries spring up before. Legalization can follow two routes. In one, corporate Cannabis rushes in and seizes a big, new market, driven by a single motive: greed,” he wrote. “In another, New Yorkers build their own local cannabis industry, led by small businesses and organized to benefit our whole diverse community.”

“Tragically, we know what happens when corporations run the show,” de Blasio wrote.

The report calls for a ban on vertical integration in the marijuana industry and says the current medical cannabis providers should not get preferred treatment when it comes to adult-use licensing.
