well.. i don't think NY will be first to legalize, but as soon as Cali and other border states get proper regulation other states can observe the sudden influx of cash and pleased citizenry..
when weed was first prohibited it took a handful of states to agree - then the rest followed slowly.. it was the same when alcohol prohibition ended - some states held out until like 1986... wiki - "
Kansas did not allow sale of liquor "by the drink" (on-premises) until 1987."
i sure hope it doesn't take until 2067.. i really do...
