    Everything this shitty city wanted and now they are regretting it. Crime , migrants , pot shops what a f*cking dump.

  7. @JPAGH on December 24, 2023 at 2:51 am

    I think that many of the Newest New Yorkers (you know who I mean) can take care of weed and more heavy stuff.
    A lot of them have hands-on experience from their previous life.



  8. @highlymedicated2438 on December 24, 2023 at 2:55 am

    Democrats thought they were gonna have a utopia 😆😆😆



  9. @larsini0 on December 24, 2023 at 2:57 am

    they did it to themselves. 11 licensees for a city of 17 million? bonkers



  10. @9reedybandz535 on December 24, 2023 at 2:58 am

    Lol 1500 shops more like 10000



  11. @TickTock-jo4to on December 24, 2023 at 3:02 am

    It’s mostly Indians running those illegal marijuana shops.



  12. @highlymedicated2438 on December 24, 2023 at 3:06 am

    Whats funny is all the dems were telling me weed was gonna be legal in there liberal state😀😀😀



  13. @user-yx2rv4dl9n on December 24, 2023 at 3:08 am

    Yup cause theres a lot o dough for the city in all those fines…



  14. @aliciabeth9758 on December 24, 2023 at 3:09 am

    What that woman said with her word salad about weed shops and threatening kids is the whitest thing I have ever effing heard.



  15. @joelvaca4590 on December 24, 2023 at 3:09 am

    HOW ABOUT YALL DROP THE LICENSING PRICE? NOBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT BUT YALL LAWMAKERS



  16. @CodingPhase on December 24, 2023 at 3:13 am

    2:19. Lol not surprised all the people who have licenses 🪪 are white owners 😅… smh … “black n brown sorry ya can’t sell it we do the selling around here”



  17. @fox7757 on December 24, 2023 at 3:14 am

    New bills won’t stop illegal cannabis shops that hide around the corner secretly.



  18. @EricLuna-lo6dp on December 24, 2023 at 3:16 am

    Worry about the wrong shit as always



  19. @asahisagoiboi3517 on December 24, 2023 at 3:17 am

    The NYC cannabis regulations are ridiculous. Why only have 11 stores in the whole City? Why not allow delivery like in DC where anyone with a record can sell. Its just ao stupid to me. I don’t even snoke anymore.



  20. @M4TTYN on December 24, 2023 at 3:21 am

    So will many of these shops go away? literally endless amounts they pop of left and right and using trade marked characters (few too many use rick and morty it’s nuts) so while being unoriginal and most seem to be always open hope most them go away.

    They surely serve the most upstanding & honest people for sure right!? lol



  21. @CodingPhase on December 24, 2023 at 3:22 am

    1:46 dudes face is priceless “like lady you in a weed store of course we got weed” 😂



  22. @user-yx2rv4dl9n on December 24, 2023 at 3:24 am

    Rigourous testing😂😂😂



  23. @Jinni99 on December 24, 2023 at 3:25 am

    They are protecting their racket before they launch, taking care of competitors, shutting down their property/lease opening the space to expand



  24. @majormauser on December 24, 2023 at 3:28 am

    So without them, the city streets will be lined with empty stores.



  25. @trippinface on December 24, 2023 at 3:34 am

    It grows from the ground from seeds and should be bought sold and grown freely. In Canada they sell high potency flower 3.5 dollars a gram.



  26. @stevexnycautomotive on December 24, 2023 at 3:34 am

    SHUT IT DOWN. Too many evil around the world and gain too must rights.



  27. @pipdash5135 on December 24, 2023 at 3:35 am

    All of this is B.S. NY has to create legal weed that can compete. Example top brands & stop over pricing the product. NY legal weed is grown outdoors which means is should be 50% cheaper then indoor grown weed



  28. @SOLDGREEN on December 24, 2023 at 3:36 am

    I heard Mike Conway is a pedo



  29. @rubenlaracuente8991 on December 24, 2023 at 3:37 am

    THESE LIBERAL CITIES ASKED FOR THIS



  30. @onesthegod1370 on December 24, 2023 at 3:40 am

  31. @eddyvideostar on December 24, 2023 at 3:40 am

    Releasing pot-holding criminals from the saturated jails is why they have decriminalized dubious individuals possessing it in the first place. Will they now throw countless upstanding entrepreneurs in the same saturated slammers?



  32. @tommybombadil8651 on December 24, 2023 at 3:41 am

    Idiots been trying to shut down cannabis sales for the last 100 years.



  33. @aokimi7190 on December 24, 2023 at 3:42 am

    noonr in their right mind would wanna buy from licensed stores until they drop the ridiculous prices on their products. 1/8th for 60$? or sometimes 80…lol no thank you
