    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.
