Key takeaway.... they sell weed at deli's in NYC?
That's interesting. Around here it's all thru a licensed shop.
NY's legalization process has been a mess. It's been almost 3 years since it was signed, and the majority of dispensary licenses outside of a small handful of open ones are still in paperwork purgatory, so in the meantime, the grey market has picked up the slack.
Deli is a loose term, a lot of them are basically bodegas with cold sandwiches.
They got Aminita mushroom gummies in the corner stores in Boston! Head shops are also selling vape carts.
No way? Like Muscarine gummies? Now that's crazy I want some (for science).
If you do it, pay close attention to what's supposedly inside it. Both muscimol and ibotenic acid are supposed to be hallucinogenic, and both muscimol and ibotenic acid are in fly agric mushrooms. However, muscimol appears to be fairly non-toxic while ibotenic acid is neurotoxic and can cause scarring to the brain (sciencists apparently use it to cause brain lesions in rats for testing purposes). Despite this, from what I've seen it's hard to find edibles that don't have ibotenic acid.
Also, note that I said "supposedly" a lot. I tried a chocolate bar that supposedly had muscimol in it once. I felt a little odd the first time I tried it, but that was the full extent of my experience (I tried eating half the bar at one point to see if I just have a high natural tolerance, but that had even less of an effect). Additionally, I think I read a company recently got caught selling gummies that were just straight-up psilocybin.
Ah thanks for the info!
Lol, I got some straight up psilocybin gummies all professionally packaged, I had a packaged molly chocolate bar too!
Maybe thats what they call weed shops? Or its a weed shop who realized the importance of capitalizing on munchies, and the food got more popular than the pot
In the entire state of NY, not just the city, pretty much every independent gas station or corner store sells D8, black market vapes, gummies, etc. It's pretty much unenforced statewide
Hows that work? I assume its not on shelves. Do you just need to know the secret menu? Ask for it directly? Is there a code? Or do they treat it like normal merch and cops just ignore it?
Yeah no it's just chilling there on the front counter behind glass. No prices listed. If you're a cop they tell you it's not for sale and it's a decoration. If a cop is parked outside they put it in a paper bag, tape it, and tell you to not open it until you're out of view. No proof of sale, no crime committed.
You've never seen "~~How High~~ Half Baked?" or any Dave Chappelle stand up?
Are you thinking of Half Baked?
Yeah, for some reason I always get those two confused. I knew it wasn't right.
For some reason your memories of the events are hazy…
