I visited NYC in November 2019 and was walking with friends a block away from Times Square. We walked into a dispensary and bought some pre rolls. I wasn’t ID’d and no one asked for my age.

Was this not a legal dispensary?

You bought some delta-8 for sure. Which, ironically, is now illegal in NY.

Delta 8 itself is found in small amounts in "normal" weed. It's also just conveniently converted from CBD with a process of basically dissolving the isolate in a solvent and heating it. Obviously there's some room for error but we also have solvent processes for all major oil extracts. Delta 8 is not sketchy, the companies selling it grey market without any sort of testing are.

Agree, a lot of it is sketchy. If you're ever in a position where you need to buy it ask for the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for what you're buying. It will show what's in it and if there is anything in it that shouldn't be.

Not as sketchy as normal weed now. I’ve seen so many PGR buds lately in my area

I mean, they do but it's so little that you're basically right. I think the max in my state was .9% delta9.

The one I went to was a smoking “club” pay for membership then buy the goods. Technically not legal but not illegal at the time either.

The only way you know it's weed is if you see an intact bud not broken up. It will be sticky if it's not too dry and you might see a shine to it.

No. But the enforcement is lax so storefronts and street vendors have setup shop in a NY minute.
