Another accurate headline could be “50th weed store set to open”

Frustrating that it’s basically down the street from the only other legal one in the city

When are we going to leapfrog and do the Amsterdam-style coffee shops? We could easily overtake California as the cannabis tourism destination but everyone has their head in the sand.

Sure. But people need to follow the rules like in Amsterdam. No smoking in public places or transit. Can smoke in the cafe or on your own property

I don't see a big deal with people smoking a joint on the street, if you do NYC ain't for you karen (looks like you don't live here?)

I don't think we need to be micromanaging people, people are fine. You should manage your criticality though

Cannabis tourists, the most annoying tourists yet!

I really don't agree, boring conservatives beat that out by a landslide

Lol have you been to Amsterdam? Plenty of raucous behavior every night of the week and no it’s not all tourists.

Ah yes, the legendarily calm and well-behaved people of Europe that have never had any single episode of getting a little goofy.

I look forward to the convenience, but I will so miss paying cash to a stranger in the street for illicit substances. Really gave my last trip there in September a little added gritty edge.

Is there any risk to buying from the unlicensed stores popping up all over? There are a few in midtown west and they all seem to be selling the same stuff.

I live here. I just think that people should be respectful to people who don’t indulge.

Yes there’s a risk.

Agreed but it's really a marketing thing to maximize profits. This is called "clustering" in game theory and it's considered the socially optimal solution for driving traffic to similar businesses

The risk is it's not real weed and you're wasting your money.
Vegas has the same thing happen. Weed is legal, but dispensaries have to be a certain distance from casinos. So these "weed" stores open next to casinos to try to get tourists who don't know the laws to come in. It's all fake.
At best you're getting that weird ass delta-9 thc, at worse you're getting nothing.

Actually at worst you’re getting nothing, but at best you’re getting much better weed than whatever is at the only legal dispensary for significantly cheaper.
Smoke shops all over the city are selling real weed. Might not be ‘legal’ but it’s pretty easy to tell.

2 biggest stores in Vegas are down the block from each other.

Lucky kids. Back when I was at NYU I didn’t know where to buy weed other than a sketchy guy in Washington Square Park. I always avoided those guys but I think my friend bought weed from them once in desperation.

This is so false lmfaoooo
16semesters t1_j455ry5 wrote
What part is false?
The places on freemont street in vegas literally can't sell weed. It's illegal.
And for NYC at the non-legit spots, you don't know what you're getting.
No part of that is false at all.

I saw a pretty cool marijuana...membership club?? in williamsburg a couple weeks ago.
Apparently you sign up for a monthly membership and that is some sort of work around to purchasing.
Pretty cool, felt very professional, welcoming, and safe.
All the weed was way too potent for my lightweight ass though

Exactly this! There is also another LEGAL one down on 8th street for a long time. So I went in to ask and they said THAT one is owned to someone connected high up in the city. So there you go. More BS.
It’s all about who you know to get the publicity!
The OTHER legal one is on Broadway just a little bit further south by the train station stairs. A 2 minute walk from there and was open way before.
The other is called city vibes on 8th close to 6th Ave, Sorry I forgot the name of the other place.
Guys, give your business to the 2 others and not this one!
