I don’t know NYC grow laws but if you have a decent amount of money to drop (700-1000) like maybe tax season buy three months worth, and grow equipment.

After three months you just have to pay for soil and seeds. $90 can give you enough for of both to make 6-7 oz and that’s if you suck at growing and buy cheap lights etc.

But if you smoke less than 0.8 a day maybe not worth it. I was close to 2gs a day and it was one of the best decisions I made.
