NYPD memo tells officers not to stop New Yorkers smoking marijuana in public [View all]
A recent memorandum from the New York Police Department (NYPD) advises officers not to stop residents who are smoking marijuana in public.
The memo shared with The Hill on Friday outlines how officers are to approach the drug after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed recreational weed into law for adults aged 21 and over on Wednesday.
Under the law, residents can have up to three ounces of cannabis and 24 grams of cannabis concentrate on them outside of their homes.
The memo was first reported by CNN on Thursday.
