honestly, if the prices can’t compete with what the delis and dealers, i can’t imagine this working out. at least not for a while. i would go just to try the options, but if i can get something similar or better from my guy on the block, idk if i would care to make that transition. the main positive factor about dispensaries rn is that what they sell has more regulations and has way more quality checks. my guy is not going to care if what he sells me is moldy or unsafe, as long as i hit him up next week.

Their prices don’t seem out of line with the dealers who deliver high quality, if you’re ok with smoking whatever terrible weed your bodega guy has then yeah, you prolly won’t find the dispo worth it

hey now! only some of the weed is terrible lol

People need to consider the fact your local bodega guy is absolutely slanging bud grown with nutrients that are terrible for your body. I don’t think they’re malicious but that’s the biz

half the bodegas in the neighborhood buy from the same guy. he leveled up from selling outside the building to selling to the stores. they don’t know what they’re even buying half the time, just that it sells. and it seems that most people buy it out of convenience and because it’s cheap. deli tried to sell me shrooms once. i can admit to have been tight enough to have to buy bud from them… but shrooms… nah my guy. i ain’t touching that.

Sometimes you do what you have to do. No shame in that

No need to be hyperbolic. Most deli's sell perfectly decent weed, not terrible.

With all due respect you don’t know you’re talking about

And you do?
The weed at smoke shops is lightyears better than what anyone was smoking 20 years ago. The whole argument that only licensed shops sell good weed is a farce. Somehow they're magically able to grow weed better then anyone else? The weed this legal dispensary is selling from - where'd they get it from? Was none of that same supply being sold anywhere in NY before yesterday? C'mon.
Yes, there is some bullshit weed out there. That's not the average-priced, normal weed at a deli though. That stuff is perfectly fine and adequate for most everyone. The bullshit weed is the stuff that's so cheap it's too. good to be true. That market will still exist whether weed is legal or not and it is very far from the majority of what's out there. Saying only legal dispensaries are safe is fear mongering based on nothing but conjecture.

people said this about every black market dealer in every other city and the dispensaries there are still there. You said it yourself that people (me) wont buy from anywhere other than dispensaries because of regulation and quality checks and that's what keeps them in business.

i do have hope that it works out, it’ll hopefully make it more acceptable to smoke in public if the weed store doesn’t have a huge ass stoned looking donald duck in the front. i hate those places so much lol

lmao that shits ridiculous, i smell weed all the time around the city, pretty sure its widely accepted by at least the younger generation

You are ridiculous if you think NYS is going to offer you a better product than what’s coming into the state from Cali and elsewhere
They literally stopped checking for mold bc of how mismanaged the licensing process for dispensaries has gone

And legal dispensaries in New York can't get any products from other legal states it all has to be from farmers & cannabis brand companies from strictly within the state which is even more whack they can't get fire brands everyone knows and loves

Well, the risk you take is getting your joint or whatever you buy from guy in bodega or in park laced with K2 or who knows what. A big selling point to the gov't officials who voted to make it legal was that it would take that out of the equation - people getting sick, going to hospitals, or dying from laced weed. Which, as someone who works in a hosp, DOES happen. And it isn't pretty. But people have been getting weed on the streets forever so it won't fully stop. It will also still be cheaper so there's that. But making it safer was a big piece of this and I do like that aspect of it. Question for everyone is - how much is knowing what you're putting into your body actually worth?

The price seems pretty legit. If these places can get weed that’s California or Las Vegas dispensary quality, it is so worth it.

There’s a line around the block. It’s maybe not for you but it’ll work just fine.
