In the Weeds

When New York State legalized recreational cannabis, officials did so with the promise to give those affected by the War on Drugs the first opportunity to sell cannabis legally. But while the state has celebrated the growth of its newest legal economy, many feel left out — no one more so than non-citizen immigrants. Producer Iggy Monda takes us through the streets of New York City to talk to formerly incarcerated business owners hoping to find a place in the industry, city and state officials who believe New York is on the right path, and experts who say immigrants should probably stay away from cannabis altogether.
