I can't possibly imagine crossing a river to buy a 70 dollar 8th.

The line is because of the novelty and the tourists. New Yorkers aren't going to tolerate it. I can't imagine paying double so I can buy legally.

I don't think you're wrong here. I'm just saying that for the time being, licensed venues seem like they're not going to have any problem competing with the unlicensed spots. Maybe that will change further down the line, though, as more licensed shops open.

Yeah. But that's my point. You're looking at opening weekend numbers and assuming those will continue. I have no plans to pay double to buy legal.

I'm sure the legal dispensaries will do fine too.
