“#Eric Adams only Dem with quality of life concerns about pot<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was the only Democratic mayoral candidate at the debate Thursday night who expressed reservations about the impact on New Yorkers\u2019 quality of life amid a new state law legalizing recreational marijuana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m concerned about the marijuana laws altogether,\u201d answered Adams, a former NYPD captain, at the WCBS-TV\/Ch. 2 forum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can impact on how you respond, it can impair your judgment, so when we talk about legalizing here and how it\u2019s going to be rolled out in the city we need to have clear instructions,\u201d Adams said. <\/p>\n

Debate panelist Lynda Lopez asked the five leading candidates who participated in the event if they would enact bans for public places including apartment buildings to shield adults and children from second hand marijuana smoke.<\/p>\n

While there is no citywide ban on smoking in private residential buildings, there is a law against tobacco use in their common areas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Only Adams and entrepreneur Andrew Yang said they would regulate where people could smoke pot in housing complexes. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe should designate particular areas particularly in large apartment buildings that are app<\/a>ropriate for smoking marijuana and not. Families should not be in a position where they\u2019re concerned about the impact of second hand smoke if they\u2019re just walking in their own apartment building taking their kid to school,\u201d Yang said.<\/p>\n

Yang added that he was \u201cthrilled\u201d that the state legalized pot.<\/p>\n

But civil rights attorney Maya Wiley, former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia and City Comptroller Scott Stringer said pot and cigarette smokers should be treated exactly the same. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s absolutely no reason to treat smoking a marijuana cigarette different from smoking a regular cigarette,\u201d Wiley said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI completely agree with Maya on this we need to treat them as we would treat regular cigarettes,\u201d Garcia said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with Maya and Kathryn, we have to make sure second hand smoke is dealt with just like cigarettes,\u201d Stringer chimed in. <\/p>\n

The state law already allows people to smoke pot in public where smoking tobacco is permitted. However, smoking weed is not permitted inside schools, workplaces or cars.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
