“Hey . . . Jose . . . bring me a lid of Colombian Red to 724 evergreen terrace”
Wait . . . is this actually legal? Apparently yes. And New York is ramping up an entire “regulatory body” to monitor door-dash style home delivery of marijuana. See link above. It's really, really true.
NYC of course, is the place with a $3 Billion budget deficit this year. But thank God they found enough money to launch and administer pot deliveries, eh?
NYC also has a homeless population of +/- 100,000. How do they even count this? And can you get uber-pot if you sleep in the subways? Just asking.
Okay – homelessness doesn't do it for you? How about NYC's murder rate – it hit a 20 year high this year. A bunch of those were in subways. Wait – sorry – I agreed to drop that topic. So, so sorry.
Well, NYC is also the place with an “official” high school graduation rate of 75%, but only a 7% dropout rate. Where are the rest of the public-school students? Missing and presumed dead? Lost in the subway system? Okay . .. okay . . I'm done with the murders on the subways. It's over.
Back to the pot deliverers. If you had told me that the city was setting up a bureaucracy to administer liquor deliveries, I'd still be outraged, but at least able to process this. There are a bunch of rappers, Hedge fund operators, and politicians who might need extra bottles of Cristal for a "Succession" style gathering but find it inconvenient to send Greg from their party out to fetch it. Deplorable, but understandable. But you can zip right around this inconvenient speed bump in your quest for living large, and get pot delivered straight to your penthouse. Or your rent controlled, slumlord-owned walkup.
My take? This is possibly the unfortunate end result of people who refuse to come back to the office and work. You can't spark up in your cubicle, for sure.
How does the NYC government even find itself in the middle of this crap? Not by accident, I guess. There probably were “smoke filled room” meetings between pot dispensary moguls and politicians where “something” was offered up as an inducement to legalizing same day home delivery of Aurora Cannabis Inc (listed on the NY Stock Exchange - ticker symbol "ACB"). If only we knew what that was, and who paid it, eh?
Hmmm . . I guess some things are just unknowable. Like the cosmic nature of dark matter, and dark energy. Now . . . dark pot delivery deals.
Maybe the weed delivery persons could be tasked at keeping an eye out for murders in progress, or those tens of thousands of missing public-school students? So the tax dollars spent "regulating" this farce won't be totally wasted (pun alert), eh?
