County Police Departments Unprepared for Legalization of Marijuana

by Karina Gerry / Apr 15, 2021

UTICA, N.Y. (WUTR-TV)-- Oneida County sheriff Rob Maciol does not hide his disdain for the new legalization of marijuana bill. During the latest Board of Legislators meeting, the sheriff spoke passionately to the board about his concerns. Maciol does not believe that the county or state is prepared to handle what is coming, mostly because he believes the state legalized the drug before learning from mistakes made in other states.

I’m going to be honest with you, we’re not prepared for what is coming our way.”
