The Burning Question: How Much Does That NYC Green REALLY Cost? AKA My Quest to Find a Decent Deal on Reddit Without Getting High
Hey fellow budget-conscious botanists (or is that botan-ists?),
Let's face it, New York City is expensive. Like, "selling-a-kidney-to-afford-a-studio-apartment" expensive. This naturally begs the question: when it comes to the sticky icky, the chronic fantastic, how much lettuce do you gotta shell out to partake in the Big Apple?
I Journeyed into the Redditverse (cue dramatic music)
Well, my friends, I bravely ventured into the wild frontier of r/NYCtrees (because of course there's a subreddit for that) to uncover the truth. Let me tell you, it was an adventure. Here's what I found:
-
Dispensary Daze: Brace yourselves, folks. The legal route seems to be about as affordable as a round-trip ticket to Mars. We're talking hundreds of dollars for an ounce, with some folks on r/NewYorkMMJ complaining about prices as high as $400. Apparently, that designer packaging really adds to the overhead.
-
The Street Cred Chronicles: Now, over on the less-than-legal side of things, prices seem to be a bit more chill. We're talking $200 an ounce on the low end, with eighths going for around $25-35. But here's the thing, folks: you never really know what you're gonna get. Could be some top-shelf chronic, or it could be ditch weed that'll leave you questioning your life choices. It's a gamble, baby!
The Moral of the Story? (Besides Maybe Don't Do Drugs...or Maybe Do, I'm Not Your Mom)
Look, there's no easy answer. It all depends on your priorities. Do you want the peace of mind of a legal purchase, even if it costs a small fortune? Or are you willing to roll the dice on the street market for a potentially better deal?
Here are some parting words of wisdom from your friendly neighborhood internet stranger:
- Do your research: No matter which route you choose, a little digging goes a long way. Read reviews, ask around (discreetly, of course), and be cautious.
- Safety first: If you're going the street route, meet in a well-lit public place and trust your gut. If something feels off, walk away.
- Consider alternatives: Maybe it's time for a meditation retreat? Or, you know, taking up knitting?
**Ultimately, the decision is yours, my canna-curious comrades. But hey, at least now you have a better idea of what you're getting yourself into (financially speaking). Happy hunting!
