In almost every state in America, the old laws against marijuana have been rewritten. But when it comes to talking about it, most people seem to be following an old playbook: don’t ask, don’t tell.
That’s what “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil discovered when he took to the streets of New York to ask people if they use pot. Many were reluctant to discuss it despite marijuana use being legal in the state.
“Just say no to drugs,” one man told him. “That’s my official position.”
And when people do open up, as some did, it turns out that laws can change in an instant, but worries about being stereotyped as a cannabis user are a lot harder to shake.
