STATEMENT FROM BRONX DISTRICT ATTORNEY DARCEL D. CLARK RE: New York State Marijuana Laws

  "The time has come for the state legislature to seriously consider decriminalizing marijuana and providing a uniform approach to vacating marijuana convictions. Decriminalization would ensure fairness for residents of the Bronx and throughout New York State. The piecemeal approach to enforcing marijuana laws county by county creates disparity and will not change the underlying fact that marijuana is still illegal.”
