It’s almost impressive how much of a debacle this has become.

Ye but that was expected by pretty much everyone, although I think they may have even surpassed those expectations lol

It’s not like we have roadmaps from other states, it’s not that hard to take what’s working annd what’s not from other states. Any competent and non corrupt politician could have this done a long time ago. These corrupt fucks will tell you delay is due to social justice aspect of legalization. It’s all fucking bullshit to cover up their corruption and incompetence. It doesn’t take 2 years to appoint board members and people they appointed? Fucking useless and not even subject experts. Shit show run by idiots.

Not enough people have had an envelope passed to them. It should be no more difficult than selling alcohol.

Even Illinois (the masters of corruption) was able to get it rolled out faster than this. Although all the licenses went to their friends and I think a couple of people got indicted.

The ineptitude isn’t even funny anymore. How do you fuck up selling weed in NYC?

Maybe too many people have had an envelope…

New York is the greatest state in the union, and New York City is the greatest city in the world; so great, that we cannot possibly learn anything from anyone else. Not a single other place has the problems we have and nobody has solved one of them.

Meanwhile there are two stores within 2 blocks of me openly operating as dispensaries and like 75% of bodegas are selling pot under the counter.

As someone who has bought marijuana in many different states, for many years, it is my personal opinion that the current grey market in NYC is the most convenient, affordable, and stress-free marijuana purchasing environment that has ever existed. I’m buying GAS, for less than it cost 10 years ago, paying with a credit card, in Midtown two doors down from my office.
The NY gov botching the hell out of this has been a blessing for us all. My heart goes out to all the legal producers who are getting fucked, but every day I pray another dumb regulatory hurdle keeps the status quo going because as a consumer, it fucking rules.

I agree that Its convenient and affordable but is it safer? Id rather have stricter laws knowing that what I'm getting is legit rather than spending $30/eighth on some shit that leaves me with an extended cough or headache

I have three stores I frequent depending on how much I want to spend and what I want to get. Would be nice to clean this all up tho

Could use some recommendations for a good Grey market shop, the one I’ve been going to in NoMad area has great bud but the prices are so high
Superrandy t1_j0jb22q wrote
Yeah same. I have a connect but you can really only buy larger amounts.

We need regulation especially with the vapes. Some of these guys are selling pure poison.

That's cool my dealer is cheaper and has better weed

They gave themselves a ton of lead up time to get this right and still couldn’t meet their own deadline, not surprising though
happybarfday t1_j0f85zm wrote
This shit is so dumb, the government are fucking over these businesses and themselves, meanwhile anyone who wants weed can easily get it almost anywhere anytime from a dealer or under-the-table smoke shop... what a joke.

Cali is making a killing in nyc bodegas!
bananagoo t1_j0fcgyy wrote
Seriously, even in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn you can get weed and oil in pretty much every bodega if you're a regular and they know you.

Plot twist: it's not weed from Cali. They're just saying it is
drummingwithpickles t1_j0gcdb9 wrote
I have a legit Cali nug reseller. Jungle Boys eighths for 2 x the Cali $$ still better than the Time Square nug

There are many brands, sealed, QR confirmed, etc. Just gotta poke around.

Wait until they find out that the levels of taxation are too high. Black market will flourish. Happened in California
