Despite cannabis being legal in New York, a 33-year-old budtender at the Housing Works Cannabis Co. finds himself in Rikers Island facing cannabis-related charges in Pennsylvania, where marijuana remains illegal. Jumal George was detained during a routine traffic stop and is now awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania, where he could face a felony charge for possession with intent to distribute marijuana. The community has rallied around George, raising funds for legal fees and prospective bail. This case highlights the complexities of cannabis legislation in states where federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal.
