Pot Users Relying on Home Delivery

NEW YORK — In a city where you can get just about anything delivered to your door _ groceries, dry cleaning, Chinese food _ pot smokers are increasingly ordering takeout marijuana from drug rings that operate with remarkable corporate-style attention to customer satisfaction. An untold number of otherwise law-abiding professionals in New York are having their pot delivered to their homes instead of visiting drug dens or hanging out on street corners. Among the legions of home delivery customers is Chris, a 37-year-old salesman in Manhattan. He dials a pager number and gets a return call from a cheery dispatcher who takes his order for potent strains of marijuana. Within a couple of hours, a well-groomed delivery man _ sometimes a moonlighting actor or chef _ arrives at the doorstep of his Manhattan apartment carrying weed neatly packaged in small plastic containers. "These are very nice, discreet people,"said Chris, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition only his first name be used."There's an unspoken trust. It's better than going to some street corner and getting ripped off or killed."

They should make pot illegal, so people won't be able to order it delivered like take-out pizza.

At $30/gram, I wonder what kind of tips the couriers make... I'd think that 15% would be too much.

Only tip less than 15% if you don't mind them spitting in your sack next time ;)

No way, the dealer of the future is going to be the Gov't once they realize how much cash they're missing out on. Then it'll be easier to fund the war on drugs.

Sounds like a real good way to get your house confiscated like they do cars.

I have been hearing for thirty years about how pot is illegal because the government doesn't know how to tax it.
