Reply to comment by ExperienceNo7751 in Prices on Marijuanna in NJ are over 500% higher than in California. by ExperienceNo7751

Supply regarding dispensaries, not their inventory. We have 20ish dispensaries for 9 million people. When I visited Jasper in Alberta last fall they had 4 dispensaries for 5000 people. Prices were pretty cheap.

And if people weren't buying the prices would be lower. So clearly wrong about demand.

Enjoy the city. When I walked from Penn Station to 51st a few months ago I saw 2 dispensaries, 4 "smoke shops" that also sold weed, and a guy in Times Square who set up a table on the sidewalk full of weed. All were illegal.

They’re not “illegal” in the city (minus the guy with the table), they’re operating in a grey area while the state figures out the structure, they have “future permits”. There are some REALLY good shops on 7th avenue near Times Square with security and quality goods at good prices. They can’t be too illegal if actual cops are assisting the private security with entry and exit control.

Of course they can be. Just like all of the state programs are illegal at the federal level. "Not currently enforced" is not the same as legal.
