Title should read 1200 stores selling deltaTHC-8 weed...

Yeah, no... the majority of weed at these places is just weed.
I'm skeptical of vape products, anything flavored, anything with "crystals" of kief role, and even edibles. Because I can't look at it and know the difference.
But plenty of these places are selling high-quality bud.

No, it’s definitely delta and synthetics. Many articles written about extensive testing and sampling done. I ordered from a delivery service and it was all synthetic but advertised as weed and dabs

That doesn't make a ton of sense since Delta-8 products are restricted in New York and marijuana is legal.
It's easier to just grow weed than to produce illegal K2 or Delta-8 and sell it in bulk.
As for dabs? Yeah, if it isn't flower I can visually review, I don't really trust it.

It's easier now to grow it because it is legal in NY, but for the last three years it's been all imported or illegally grown delta-8 that they stocked up on. Do you think the people growing BS weed just tossed out all their plants and started over? They are just selling the bunk to bodegas. The real controlled farms have no reason to sell to bodegas they have a shitload of medicinal and now recreational customers. Personally I prefer buying from a farm that grows prescription weed than some joker growing his own shit in a basement in SI. Why bother now that the good controlled stuff is so easy to get?

"The real controlled farms."
Are you just imagining that 100% of black market weed is fake because it doesn't come from legal grow houses?
That doesn't make any sense.
People have been growing illegal weed in enormous bulk for a long, long time. That didn't just go away.

Lol. Yeah I guess since it’s restricted it’s impossible 💀

How is it MORE possible than something that ISN'T restricted?

You think the same place that are carrying counterfeit vapes,edibles and pre rolls will have high quality bud? If you think mold,pesticides or some E. coli,on your bud is high quality then enjoy 😉

I think it's the same level of trust you put in the guy who sells you weed who gets it from who knows the fuck where.
Very few people on the black market buy directly from their source.
I am not sure why I should trust my delivery guy any more than the local weed store. They both are questionably sourced.
There seems to be a few they are awaiting license that are more legit and bill you for "consultation."
Overall, the situation here is about as obnoxious as DC, but with fewer excuses for it.

I trust my “delivery” guy because he’s a friend of mine for many many years and he’s a smoker too so he wouldn’t want to poison himself along with his customers… his menu doesn’t have a million things on it,just the stuff HE grows with love and maybe a few others that he trusts. I know not everybody can have that kind of connection but start with buying bud from somebody that actually smokes. And avoid the name brand pre rolls,vapes and edibles because majority of that shit is counterfeit. For example,majority of the jeeter pre rolls are fake if not all that’s sold here in nyc including the vapes. I would just stay away from pre rolls,vapes and edibles in general for now. Buy only bud… use your eyes,nose and taste buds to determine if you smoking shit or good quality grown bud. Look for white ash,smooth tasty inhale and smooth exhale. I barely cough from good bud and I admit that I made mistakes early on with purchasing vapes and I’m paying for it now and probably will pay more for it down the line… i cough like crazy but regardless of how fucked up my lungs are good bud or good concentrate (not hotdog water) and I barely cough.

Your assumption that the people inside the smoke-filled weed shops in Brooklyn with ring cameras and locks don't smoke weed is... something.
I am not speaking of Manhattan bodegas that also sell poppers and moon pies.
Also, I said I only buy bud.
My experience is that my delivery service has worse flower than some of the new popups.
