The debate for and against legalized marijuana is getting more attention this week here in Western New York.

There has been a series of "listening sessions" around the state and one will take place on Wednesday in the Buffalo area.

The purpose of these sessions is to garner input from community members and key stakeholders on the implementation of a regulated marijuana program in New York State. This input will assist the Regulated Marijuana Workgroup in drafting legislation for an adult-use marijuana program for the legislature to consider in the upcoming session.

This week's meeting/session will take place on Wednesday and you will need to register to attend.
