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.

    There may be fire code issues.
“No smoking” means no smoking of anything.

    That stuff can make you schizophrenic, especially given how strong the stuff is today.HAHAHAHAHA!!! Flippin' funny. You should quit watching Reefer Madness. It was a fictional portrayal. Not a documentary.

    So much for pot being for ‘recreational use’. If one has to light up and smoke before or during their workday that’s more like an addiction/dependence issue.
Same goes for alcohol or other non prescription drugs for medical conditions. Those with low ambition, low self control and discipline will wind up as losers kept in that condition further by the devil weed.

    Of course they are. Want to keep the public numb, sedated and uninterested.

    New Yorkers are getting exactly what they voted for. 
Wonder what the stats are on traffic incidents with high drivers?
To: PGR88
    They’re not into pornography, just child and human trafficking.

    Yes, they tell us pot is harmless and does nothing to impair cognition, contribute to crime or cause additional traffic accidents. Doesn't promote cancer either and is not a gateway drug. 
 IOW, they're full of sh*t.

    "Those with low ambition, low self control and discipline will wind up as losers kept in that condition further by the devil weed."
And if they couldn't get "devil weed", they'd find something else. As proof, look at the people who huff spray paint.

    Communism relies on people having low-ambition.
Those who actually do have ambition know the only way to achieve anything will be through the Party.

    "Communism relies on people having low-ambition."
Absolutely. Communism also makes it difficult or impossible for anyone to achieve anything, regardless of their ambition. Unless of course, their ambition is to be an apparatchik.
