ALBANY – For the widow of Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s State of the State announcement Wednesday that New York will permit limited use of medical marijuana was a bittersweet moment: “sweet” because Reichbach would have strongly approved; “bitter” because he isn’t here to see it.
“I can’t stop thinking about how Gus would react to this moment,” said Ellen Meyers, who lost Reichbach to pancreatic cancer in July 2012, when he was 65. “I think he would be absolutely ecstatic that the governor is behind it. This was something really important to him.”
