Any safety concerns?

There’s a bunch of suggested evidence that more people dying in traffic accidents are found with THC in their blood after legalization than before. Law enforcement will tell you impaired driving with marijuana is a much bigger problem than it was before.

Did marijuana use increase?

Use among adults has risen. Some new people who weren’t previously using might start.

Has law enforcement been able to reduce its focus on marijuana to concentrate on other crimes?

There’s not as many reductions as you might have expected. Tracking the product in the commercial system is very onerous.

We dedicated money for a Drug Enforcement Task Force to respond to concerns about a possible spike in black market marijuana activity associated with legalization.

What do you see and smell?

Public consumption is a little more conspicuous. In public places, you’re pretty used to catching a whiff of marijuana now. People have just gotten used to it.

How do you have a debate with 23 candidates?

A partial answer may emerge tonight when at least 16 candidates for New York City public advocate participate in a 7 p.m. forum at the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn Heights.

The candidates will be lumped into four groups, and each group will have about 25 minutes to talk.

The public advocate’s duties are murky, the strength of the office is questionable and its funding has shrunk. But two of the four people who have served as public advocate have gone on to bigger things: Mayor Bill de Blasio and Letitia James, who in January becomes the state attorney general.
