Out of state lawsuit by a greedy piece of shit. Entire republican western NY State dragging their obstruction asses in every way they can. Butt hurt maga cult pretending weed is more dangerous than the booze, tobacco and meth they suck down like a toilet.

NYC at least had a pretty convoluted application process where the city couldn't decide what interest group to favor as well. The entire process was just generally fucked. Also doesn't help that Cuomo got kicked in the middle of the push

The most recent vote on the MORE act saw

217 D- YEA

202 R- NAY

When it is voted on in the Senate it will be fillibustered for sure...by the R.

And it will see

48 D- YEA

48 R- NAY

It will fail.

But if it did not fail (as in: if some R's defect from the republicult hive mind...which they won't...but if they did), then when the bill got to Biden's desk he would sign it.

It is not the Democrats or the President stopping the legalization of Weed.

I wondered the same thing. I was in NYC in May, seeing these sketchy pop-up stands with huge bags of weed rolling and selling blunts in tourist-heavy areas, but when I went to a "smoke" shop there was no THC to be found. Was pretty confused since I knew it had been legal for a while.

Weird. I was in Manhattan in September and was able to buy right at the smoke shop.

Do smoke shops tend to sell THC products? The majority I've been to in California (which is not a lot) have told me to go to the dispensaries.

A friend in CA just told me that he bought an $8 1/8th the other day.

There are sales on sales every day. Making it recreational will make more competiton. Better quality lower prices!

I consistently buy $20 quarters that test over 25% THC here in Long Beach

fluxtable t1_j2ax12f wrote

I'm very particular. I like indica dominant 20% THC with a good flavor. Usually end up circling around OG strains.

My neighborhood dispensary in Portland is 4 blocks and always has an option for me. 8ths range from $10-14 with my neighborhood discount. They give my dog treats too.

Legal market > black market all day.

A lot of places have a thing where if you wear the free shirt they give you to pick up you can get a $1 J. There’s endless deals of all manner going on

I work at a dispensary in Denver and we have ounces as low as 79. Much cheaper for shake or popcorn. Most expensive is 250 but it's always on sale for cheaper than that. And it's great quality. Love this state.

GamerGrunt t1_j2a9sh2 wrote

Yeah they do. I just made a run to Michigan last night where they have ounces for $75 each! Used to pay about $200 from the weedman. Not to mention all the other goodies like edibles and concentrates.

There are places all over Oregon offering $40 ounces now but when it was first legalized and recreational sales started in 2015, all you could find was $12 grams and up.

gzlovesyou t1_j2ehvh5 wrote

As competition grows the prices will drop though

CmdrShepard831 t1_j2evxju wrote

Yep that's why we have the $40 ounces. This is also aided by lax growing laws that haven't really restricted the amount of growers available so we have a lot of surplus. The NY legislature can mess with this but prices should still come down over time.
