From a Rupert Murdoch NY paper:
Get ready for an NYC reeking of weed and crawling with unstable potheads
It’s reefer madness all across Gotham, following the state Legislature’s legalization of marijuana.

At the very end of an absolutely brain dead article, you're greeted by this amazing blurb about the author:
Another favorite...
Let's see Seth, off the top of my head.... Rush Limbaugh. That took my pot-damaged American Mind less than half a second. Rush did so much heroin he made himself deaf. That qualifies him as a "serious drug addict". I'll set aside the fact Seth doesn't seem to understand why people laugh at the gateway drug theory just to marvel at him somehow completely forgetting about the fucking opioid epidemic.
Seth... I'm not mad that you're a nerd who hates weed. It's kind of funny. I am mad that a man with a room temp IQ gets paid 6 figures to write absolute dogshit articles in a publication maaaaybe 20-25 people read called "The American Mind".

Article is trash, Not really much more to say. I have a love hate relationship with the NY Post. I have a feeling the author is very uninformed or likely dosen't beleive half of the dribble he wrote.

I hope the article was just Seth trolling and trying to trigger. If he honestly believes this nonsense, he shouldn't be allowed to live on his own. That's how stupid it is. Maybe part of the problem is, there's just not a good way to advocate for prohibition without lying and humiliating yourself. But Seth really leaned into the dumbfuckery on this one. You hate to see it.

New York Lawmakers Approve Governor’s Key Marijuana Regulatory Appointees To ‘Jumpstart’ Legalization
The new governor of New York wants to “jumpstart” the implementation of marijuana legalization—and so Kathleen Courtney Hochul took a major step on Wednesday by making two key regulatory appointments, confirmed by the Senate during special session, to oversee the state’s cannabis market: "One of my top priorities is to finally get New York’s cannabis industry up and running—this has been long overdue, but we’re going to make up for lost time.”
Sen. Liz Krueger (D), chair of the Finance Committee and lead sponsor of the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) that created the state’s legal cannabis law, said she is “extremely pleased” with the two appointments: "The process of implementing MRTA has been delayed too long, but finally we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.”
As it stands to date, adults 21 and older can possess up to three ounces of cannabis or 24 grams of concentrates in New York—and they can also smoke marijuana in public anywhere tobacco can be smoked—but there are not any shops open for business yet, other than medical.

As legalized marijuana moves in NY, Savino cautions overtaxing will drive buyers back to underground dealers
NY Governor Kathy Hochul has said one of her “top priorities” was to get the state’s cannabis industry up and running. Under Hochul, four appointments have been made to New York’s newly formed Cannabis Control Board and Office of Cannabis Management.
Sen. Diane Savino (D-North), a long-time proponent of medical and recreational marijuana, said Hochul is “definitely committed” and is pleased that appointments are happening, moving the state one step closer to having a put-together program: “We have to figure out how do we make people do something they haven’t done before, which is walking into a store and buy it.”
Savino believes all appointees should visit other states and speak with industry people, advocates, and small business owners and entrepreneurs to analyze what went right and wrong: “One of the reasons why I suggest they go and meet with other states is because many of the other states ignored that problem and they have wound up in a scenario where the illegal marketplace is thriving. That’s not helpful. You can’t overtax and over-regulate so much that people won’t walk into a dispensary when they [can] call their guy and they bring it to the front door.”
“I’ve spent so much time working on this issue and I’ve seen so many states put forward these plans to create programs that are supposed to achieve social equity and combat the illegal marketplace and none of [the other states] have met those benchmarks.”

Probably would have been an easier article if they just said, anywhere you're allowed to smoke a cig, you're allowed to smoke a joint. If you can’t smoke a cigarette there, you can’t light up a joint. Despite the article taking a “all these places you can’t smoke weed” approach, we have one of, if not the least amount of restrictions as to where you can smoke weed. As far as I’m aware anyways, I don’t make a true habit of studying other states consumption laws
A bunch of people were passing around joints in MSG this Saturday, nothing new there tho lol

Come full, leave hungry.
Probably just coffee/beverages/packaged snacks.
Honestly don't want to share many of my ideas here.

I've heard of them for years as well as restaurants with secret menus.
I personally have not gone to any myself though.
Can't say I've been to a pot supper club myself either. Actually I've never even heard of one.
Lots of secrecy in the restaurant world but I'm not aware of much - at least, as it pertains to weed.
Theres a bunch of "weed trucks" around, but I really don't think they're legit whatsoever. Just seems like a super gimmicky way to grab some cash from unsuspecting & hopeful stoners. Probably all D8 product

yeah, i watched the inaugural meeting yesterday, it's already on youtube, the only relevant section was Chairperson Wright's opening remarks:New York's cannabis board holds first meeting, amends medical program

the transfer of NYS cannabis business from DOH to OCM, now at /cannabis.ny.gov/,
anyone who can prescribe a controlled substance can now prescribe cannabis,
maximum amount of cannabis expanded to a 60 day supply, previously 30 day,
cannabis providers can now sell whole flower, not just the "ground flower" rubbish the dispensaries push,
the $50 registration fee for patients and caregivers is permanently waived,
also, nothing about adult use cannabis.
but this is a good deal - i've been paying $150 first time, $125 updates for the NYS med cannabis card, so now my gp will prescribe the card! Anyway, it's much better to go out of state for product, picked up a $75 zip of shake & trim at one dispensary.

Yeah, I figured that was being overly optimistic. Likely just low quality CBD flower
