\nNew York, NY \u2013 <\/span> As the Empire State of New York became the 15th state to join Washington D.C. in legalizing marijuana, JAY-Z is speaking out in favor of Governor Andrew Cuomo\u2019s recent autograph on bill S.854-A\/A.1248-A<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Hip Hop mogul is the proud owner of his own cannabis brand, Monogram, and he sees plenty of opportunity on the horizon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe news<\/a> of cannabis legalization in New York is incredibly exciting. It represents a long-overdue opportunity for New Yorkers, for the cannabis industry, and for social<\/a> equity and social justice,\u201d JAY-Z told TheGrio<\/a><\/em> in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen first- hand the harm inflicted for generations against Black and minority communities by the war on drugs right here in New York. Today, I\u2019m proud to see my home state join The Parent Company in paving the way for a thriving and equitable cannabis market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Parent Company is reportedly California\u2019s largest vertically integrated marijuana business, counts Meek Mill and Rihanna as investors and Hov serves as its Chief Visionary Officer.<\/p>\n

JAY-Z echoed similar sentiments in 2016 when he partnered with The New York Times<\/em> to deliver a diatribe against America\u2019s purported \u201cwar on drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (March 31), Governor Cuomo signed the bill that through the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), enables records to be immediately expunged for individuals convicted of anything less than 25 grams of marijuana. Additionally, the state projects it will collect $350 million annually in tax revenue (with 40 percent to be directed to the education system), allowing for the creation of 30,000 to 60,000 jobs in the process. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a historic day in New York \u2013 one that rights the wrongs of the past by putting an end to harsh prison sentences, embraces an industry that will grow the Empire State\u2019s economy, and prioritizes marginalized communities so those that have suffered the most will be the first to reap the benefits.\u201d Governor Cuomo said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was one of my top priorities in this year\u2019s State of the State agenda and I\u2019m proud these comprehensive reforms address and balance the social equity, safety and economic impacts of legal adult-use cannabis. I thank both the Leader and the Speaker, and the tireless advocacy of so many for helping make today\u2019s historic day possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
