    i never forget men, i tell you for real, you gotta pay me attention, i never forget the first day i smoked marijuana with a neighboor, man i felt a thing not even the 2nd time i smoke marijuana again, is a thing you don`t understand, if everytime you smoke marijuana, you feel that sensation, i even saw colors men, the first time i smoked marijuana with a neighboor i saw blue colors in the ambient, marijuana and drugs have something so good is a dream, but narcos and people in street laboratories gotta study it to really enjoy and not waste youre time

    The smell of cannabis is very aggressive and too strong that you can smell it from far away compared to cigarette. I really hate the smell of it, but it’s really hard to avoid it whenever going to a big city.

    New York Jewish Week

    ‘Meet the Rabbi who is helping bring legal cannabis to New York “

    By Jacob Henry 

    As New York gears up for a new landscape of legal marijuana, one Rabbi will bring his experience retailing weed to help others “squeeze more out of life.”

    Rabbi James Kahn is part of a company  that is one of the first to be licensed to open a cannabis dispensary in the state. He helped run a family-run marijuana business in Washington, D.C. and is the executive director of Liberty Cannabis Cares, the social impact arm of Holistic Industries, a prominent dispensary business in Maryland. 

    Kahn has partnered with Marquis Hayes, a Bronx native and former drug dealer who got out of prison in 2007.

    “Suffering is not a mitzvah,” Kahn said.

    He added that “while cannabis has not been “at the forefront of the modern Jewish age, the cannabis industry is full of Jews.”

    A current exhibit at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, “Am Yisrael High: The Story of Jews and Cannabis,” also explores the extensive Jewish presence in the weed industry, legal and not.”

    Born and raised in Brooklyn eny im 34 now we used harrassed for weed by cops getting assaulted and going straight to the bookings for a nick bag bag then in the early 2000s they should’ve been legalized it but I’m happy they did cause now i smoke freely lol definitely in front of cops because now weed is basically our cigarette in all reality

    The one good thing NYC has going for them. Crime would plummet if the majority of the city used it often.



  18. @LuisRamos-ft4ck on August 7, 2024 at 8:10 pm

    Marijuana has fallen there’s no more creativity in caring for the plants everything is about money rushing the flowers and adding chemicals to grow at a faster rate, grow your own know what you put in them what’s better buying food outside or homemade

    I’d rather be sober these days and rise above the braindead masses.



  22. @freckhefner4019 on August 7, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    I’m a be real with you I’m born and raised in Harlem New York I remember the days when you could go to a little local spots in the hood and pick up two for 20$ or 3 for $15 the good old Dime bag, and Nickel-bag days it’s crazy to see how dispensaries have taken over the world. I remember when they used to lock everyone up for selling weed and a lot of the Jamaicans from the hood was deported back to Jamaica for selling that shit but now it’s like the US government got a hold of it and cut the middleman out and make billions of dollars every year isn’t that fucking ironic?



  23. @sisterlambert8073 on August 7, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    Smoking weed shrinks your arteries which then leads to a brain stroke do your research🙏💯

    the country is going to hell because of junkies like these people



  40. @Golden_God_Untethered on August 7, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    It’s all I smell everywhere I go and it’s making people dumber than they already are. 90% of people are extremely stupid and self centered in NY. Adding pot to the mix was a terrible idea.



  41. @Adrenaline_Dice on August 7, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    Hahah the karens in this comment section complaining about the smell of marijuana 😂😂😂 You guys suck

  45. @Andy224 on August 7, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    I find it quite sad that such a beautiful and great city like nyc is consumed by a weed addiction disease



  46. @TheNewb187 on August 7, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    lol i go to brooklyn ny and the weed prices are stupid high people buy it illegally over legal, but there are not many dispos from where i was, and i didnt even smell much weed lol.



  47. @louielouie22 on August 7, 2024 at 8:41 pm

    Worst as far as selling it. The wrong people are in charge of the weed game. It’s a fact that when one buys weed they smell it to test it’s quality. In NY and I’m sure other places, you have to show your ID 2 times before they let you in where you’ll have to show it again when you enter. Then, we don’t get to smell it because it’s "sealed" in a jar. I mean, the least we can do is smell the damn quality since we are paying 400 dollars for weed!!!! I’m staying under ground. Forget this racket.



  48. @Ano_Niemand on August 7, 2024 at 8:44 pm

    Are there also smoking lounges in NY?



  49. @jackpwade on August 7, 2024 at 8:45 pm

    What does all that smoke do to global warming? Second hand smoke? All the Liberal complaints? Don’t exist if they do it
