Nassau County Officially Opts-Out of Recreational Marijuana Sales

April 15th, 2019

The Nassau County legislature voted to officially opt-out of recreational marijuana sales in the event the legislature indeed passes a bill that would legalize recreational marijuana. This comes after Nassau County Executive Laura Curran suggested last month that she would prefer if Nassau were to opt-out of any program that would allow for recreational sales within the county. It is unclear if a bill will pass this year, the Governor has suggested it would not be done if not done in the budget. He has since suggested that he and the legislature have an agreement in principal to act this year.
