It’s not like we have roadmaps from other states, it’s not that hard to take what’s working annd what’s not from other states. Any competent and non corrupt politician could have this done a long time ago. These corrupt fucks will tell you delay is due to social justice aspect of legalization. It’s all fucking bullshit to cover up their corruption and incompetence. It doesn’t take 2 years to appoint board members and people they appointed? Fucking useless and not even subject experts. Shit show run by idiots.

As someone who has bought marijuana in many different states, for many years, it is my personal opinion that the current grey market in NYC is the most convenient, affordable, and stress-free marijuana purchasing environment that has ever existed. I’m buying GAS, for less than it cost 10 years ago, paying with a credit card, in Midtown two doors down from my office.

The NY gov botching the hell out of this has been a blessing for us all. My heart goes out to all the legal producers who are getting fucked, but every day I pray another dumb regulatory hurdle keeps the status quo going because as a consumer, it fucking rules.

They gave themselves a ton of lead up time to get this right and still couldn’t meet their own deadline, not surprising though

Wait until they find out that the levels of taxation are too high. Black market will flourish. Happened in California

This shit is so dumb, the government are fucking over these businesses and themselves, meanwhile anyone who wants weed can easily get it almost anywhere anytime from a dealer or under-the-table smoke shop... what a joke.

In the name of equity, we should have the pols who slow-rolled the legalization smoke all the moldy stuff first.

I agree that Its convenient and affordable but is it safer? Id rather have stricter laws knowing that what I'm getting is legit rather than spending $30/eighth on some shit that leaves me with an extended cough or headache

New York is the greatest state in the union, and New York City is the greatest city in the world; so great, that we cannot possibly learn anything from anyone else. Not a single other place has the problems we have and nobody has solved one of them.

Meanwhile there are two stores within 2 blocks of me openly operating as dispensaries and like 75% of bodegas are selling pot under the counter.
