class=quot;p1quot;Lawmakers in New York City have voted to legalize the use of medical marijuana Friday, reports The Verge. The users would not be able to smoke the herb, the most popular way to consume, rather they have to satisfy themselves by consuming via edibles, tinctures, pills, or inhaled through the use of vaporizers. Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is going to sign the legislation, posted a amp;lsquo;no smokingamp;rsquo; term as his primary demand. amp;ldquo;I believe this bill is the right balance, and I commend the members of the Legislature who worked so hard on this measure,amp;rdquo; Cuomo said in a statement. The list of conditions that it has been approved to treat is also fairly short. Patients with cancer, AIDS, Parkinsonamp;rsquo;s disease and other named ailments can turn to the drug for relief. The law will be passed as soon as the governor signs the legislation but the implementation could delay as long as 18 months. New York is going to be the 23lt;span class=quot;s1quot;rdlt;/span state to legalize medical marijuana, where only Washington and Colorado allow recreational use of this herb. - News Next bd
