Reply to comment by [deleted] in New York’s first legal dispensary for recreational marijuana opens doors by GroundForcesWTX

Price. Sticker shops aren't paying the high taxes a legal place has too.

Im in Buffalo and fully expect to see sticker stores being targeted when they start opening the legal dispensaries here. The police in outlying suburbs (Cheektowaga) have already raided a sticker store/shut it down, so there is precedent.

What is a sticker store?

Marijuana is given as a “free gift” for buying something small and overpriced, like a sticker. Marijuana itself isn’t illegal, but the selling of it is.

Kind of like during early prohibition when bars would gift alcohol if you bought a more-expensive lunch.

Damn places I go to in NYC are just straight selling it, not including it as a gift with something else.

I was going to say it depends but then I remembered Oregon being for stoners is the meme.
