It was approved for serious medical conditions:
publish.nyc.indymedia.org | New York Assembly Approves Medical Marijuana Bill (http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2007/06/87284.shtml)

"Assembly Health Committee Chair Gottfried's (D-Manhattan) bill -- A4867-A -- would allow patients with life-threatening conditions to use marijuana according to their doctors' recommendations. The state health department could also add other serious conditions. Patients would be allowed to cultivate a safe supply their own medicine (up to 12 plants) or have a caregiver do so for them. They could possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana.
The issue has tremendous support from the medical community and the public. A 2005 poll found that 76% of New Yorkers support allowing the medical use of marijuana, including 72% of Republicans. Medical organizations representing the state's medical schools, the state's nurses, and the state's physicians have voiced their support for allowing medical marijuana."

Read about this in the newspaper and online the other day. So it got approved? Does that mean we are gonna have the medical marijuana cards in NY too, or are they implementing a different system?
