In New York City, the land of delivery services, kind bud is never more than a phone call away. If you have a good connection and a little coin, scoring pot in the city is like ordering in sushi. Having a reliable “delivery service” should be high on every stiletto stoner’s priorities list. For those of you who don’t live in New York City, I recommend you move here.
By using a service, stiletto stoners can eliminate potential embarrassment and legal risks one faces when buying pot on the street by having the goods delivered directly to your home or office. This is the favored way to obtain marijuana amongst New York City’s stiletto stoners and other members of the cannabis cognescenti. You don’t have to hunt down an unreliable dealer.

I am ashamed that I, a card carrying member of the New York Cannabis Cognoscenti, did not know this. Decriminalization means there is “no prison time or criminal record for first-time possession of a small amount for personal consumption. The conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation.” (NORML)
I always thought New York State had some of the most punitive drug laws in the United States. I would like to give shout out to New York Magazine and writer Mark Jacobson for bringing us a brilliant piece titled The Splitting Image of Pot. Mark Jacobson, fellow smoker and journalist extraordinare, shares a valuable bit of 411 with New York Magazine’s readers:
“possession of 25 grams, or seven-eighths of an ounce is not a crime in New York State and has not been since the passage of the Marijuana Reform Act of 1977, or 32 years ago.”
Can this be true? Seven-eighths (7÷8) of an ounce is a lot of bud. So ‚six-eighth of an ounce of marijuana (see stash photo below) is not a crime in the Big Apple. Just one more reason to love NY.
