Brazen NYers are smoking weed everywhere—Saks, subway, US Open
NY Post ^ | 09/01/2023 | Jeanette Settembre and Joshua Rhett Miller

On a recent weekday afternoon, the high-end flagship’s shoe department smelled less like Manolo Blahnik leather and more like a head shop, a stylist told The Post.

“It’s jarring when you walk into a high-end department store where you used to smell Chanel perfume and now it’s weed,” the stylist, who requested anonymity, said. (The Post has reached out to Saks for comment).

But, she admitted: “Everywhere you go in New York City smells like weed. It’s not just Saks — it’s at Bloomingdales, at the movies … there’s no high-end anymore.”

Indeed, brazen New Yorkers are lighting joints on the F train, ripping vape pens on the Hampton Jitney and firing up at upscale restaurants like Carbone and Nobu 57, observers told The Post.

Just exactly what the fascist far-left wanted. The Russian Soviets had their vodka to shut the people up. The American Bolshies are going to use weed to shut the American people up. Keep them high, dumb and happy with a bag of weed and a bag of Doritos.

The Chinese know how to destroy us...because it nearly destroyed them. And it's working like a charm. Why do you think drug dealers get the death penalty in China? Meanwhile, we're legalizing everything in sight because our leaders hate us. And many of them are in the pay of China.

In college we had a math teacher who was going to grade on a curve and I had a little talk with him after class beginning of the semester and told him that 80% of the students in this class smoke weed and I’m not going to have my grade averaged in with dumbasses. He gave me a load of crap because he didn’t want to change and I audited that class.

The Leftists in New York City have no issue with those they look down on smoking marijuana everywhere, except when the peasants dare smoke it in department stores that cater to the wealthy, and at tennis matches attended by the wealthy.

A cloud of skunk weed covering a schoolyard in a low-income neighborhood? Good with that, just collect the tax revenue and keep those "lowlifes" sedated.

A slight hint of marijuana at the U.S. Open tennis match? Get these dirtbags out of here. This is a "nice" place. They don't belong here.

Seems you can’t light up a cigarette anywhere but, you can light up marijuana everywhere.

Very interesting you can get absolutely high right in front of a cop but, drink alcohol in front of them and they will turn into 6” belt wearing, over sized black hat, Pilgrims on you....

Doesn’t matter - smoke or vape whatever you want. Enjoy the lung damage and inevitable cancer.

Government has taken over all the vices that used to be illegal and that were run by mafia

gambling, marijuana, heroin. I don’t see them in pornography, but I imagine “taxing and regulating” prostitution will come soon

There are some libertarian Freepers, and when marijuana is discussed, they give us the libertarian view of the subject.

I live in Whiteytown, USA, and the other day, I was walking down the street and caught a whiff of weed. Walked a bit further and their was a black dude on his porch, upwind.

Not that I don’t see whitey smoking weed, sometimes.

Pretty soon, the paharmacies will come out with a "patch" or "gum" or the like to break the marijuana habit....

You know...like they came out with the same for cigarettes...plus vaping was supposed to be the cure...plus patches, gum...etc etc...

All these "replacements" are VERY expensive.

"Brazen NYers are smoking weed everywhere"

That explains everything.
