Hurricane Mary Jane: Cannabis Legalization and New York City Politics

In January 2019, before anyone could know that cannabis legalization in New York would crash and burn – notwithstanding control of both houses of the legislature by the Democrats – Crain’s New York Business published my opinion piece projecting political challenges to successful cannabis legalization in New York City.

Welcome to my blog

My name is Noah Potter.

I started this blog in 2010 with the goal of establishing the field of “psychedelic law.”

If the psychedelic experience is fundamentally distinct from default modes, then there must be legal forethought for integrating psychedelic substances into contemporary societies.

There’s a law for everything so, if psychedelics will be legal, then there must be laws for them. There must be psychedelic law.

In 2012 I deconstructed the DEA’s legal theory for the permanent prohibition of cannabis, Madmen Rule You, followed by The Meaning of the DEA’s Recent Victory in ASA v. DEA in 2013.

I proposed fundamental principles for a regulated psychedelic markets in early 2018 Psychedelic Markets of the Future.
