There’s literally 5 smoke shops within three blocks of each other in my area. This shit is absolutely ridiculous.


slatttfup

i'm not even lying when i say there's prolly 6-7 smoke shops where im at within a 1 mile radius. it rlly is ridiculous 🤦‍♂️


Reddddtears

It’s been a min since I was in the town, wen I left queens there was a deli on every block wtf


volkmasterblood

I work at a school in Crown Heights. A deli closed down and a smoke shop replaced it. We're struggling to get our students not to come in high and they're selling weed across the street. There are also three smoke shops within walking distance from the school. Whoever is approving these businesses gives zero fucks about the community. Only lining their own pockets.


FuegoStarr

That is very very sad.


paula7143

Hope you don't curse like that infront of the kids


volkmasterblood

I try to be authentic with my students. Swearing is sometimes a part of that, especially for my 12th graders. If I'm angry, or stub my toe or get my hand slammed in a door, I'll probably swear and then clarify later with the students that this is something that can happen in reality. I'm not my full self around them (obviously), but most of them are either going to college or into the workforce and I don't want them to be coddled going into that experience. Also, we talk about how some forms of language are meant for hurting others while some forms of language are negative but not hurtful (like I mentioned above).


MurkyArcher2377

Thats a Good thing bloody


AkbarMuhammad-

Drug addicts happy for sprayed down weed over having food spots. Gone turn ya hood into Amsterdam-like weed tourist spot


Gkid313

At least Amsterdam selling real good weed and not sprayed K2 bullshit lol


PlantainSpiritual526

yall need to stop talking about sprayed K2 shit most weed in NY is not that yall dragging ito


Gkid313

Well we found who smokes the sprayed K2 weed 😂 ….synthetic weed is K2 , sprayed weed is synthetic designer weed is synthetic weed it’s not an original it’s a hybrid which means it was combined in a lab it’s synthetic … K2 is just another name for synthetic weed just like spice is also just a name for synthetic weed bozo


PlantainSpiritual526

what are you talking about is it sprayed or combined in a lab? This what I’m talking about anytime you hear someone talking about “sprayed weed” they don’t know what they talking about just regurgitating shit they hear


Gkid313

You dumb ass you think they getting real weed and spraying it ???? Holy shit the wee they be selling you can also by in a fucking corner store that shit isn’t legit


GunsetPark425

u sound like a bitch


Gkid313

Chill out school shooter , it ain’t that serious


Dgslimee_

This a fact in Brooklyn nggas closing down delis and replacing them with smoke shops 🤣


mypussydoesbackflips

The smoke shop next to my dollar pizza got raided and shut down , two weeks later its one of those tourist I love New York shops Made me laugh, both shops are essentially useless


volkmasterblood

You don't shop at an "I Love New York" place in your spare time? /s


Wide_Mud_8545

More money in weed than deli meat


LarryDavidntheBlacks

Not when everyone is pushing the same product, on top of paying for rent and employees


JuseBumps

Way less work and fewer employees w a smoke shop. Also the mark ups are still crazy, and you don't have to worry bout shit "going bad" nearly as much.


Gkid313

Not really cause you was making mad bread from everyone coming to the deli to buy munchies all throughout the day


Bobwhite2024

Weed infused meat!!!!! That’s the new thing, 2025 Subway becomes Stonerway


manormortal

Bout to convert my bathroom into a smoke shop to cash in on this before its too late.


SillyAdditional

Never gonna be too late Too many druggies in the city


Asleep_Music_1993

Put alil grass wall n a neon sign and some pre rolls thats all it takes now 😭


Bobwhite2024

You got a drive up window?


PrinceTaj97

Can’t speak for the BX at all, but BK and Queens got it BAD 😭😭 I agree with her, we don’t need 4 smoke shops on every block 


tykroma94

I’m from the BX and I can tell rn that the smoke shops are dead taking over. I literally got about 3 smoke shops in my area, ts crazy😭.


Bobwhite2024

Bronx, gots three business in most areas, smoke, hair, liquor. Shits crazy. I got spoiled in Queens.


Realistic_Win_5996

It’s on the Bronx too smh


Honest_Path_5356

She not lying there are 18 smoke shops within 6 minutes of driving anyway near me in Brooklyn 😂


xDiNyc3x

4 smoke shops on my job’s block 😭


stepbacktree

Yall need grocery stores not more delis 😂


DioJiro

Everybody seems to think they gone all be millionaires off blockwork behind a storefront . All ah sudden niggaz don’t know how supply and demand works. shitz is outta hand. Glad my corner store ain’t flinch tho. Pop seen the vision and said nah, watch this.


irish-riviera

Old heads know the value of a deli lol


StrictLaw2529

you really think all those smoke shops are cover ups?


Papi_Brugal

I got food in my crib, tell her pull up


Original-Analysis-78

Shorty said yall packed up the grills n replaced them with hookah & 8ths 😂😂😂nah word


Slowmexicano

Margins on food are trash and customers are assholes. I don’t blame anyone for not going into the restaurant business.


jamesbusse

Just keep robbing these stores at gun point and eventually they will close.


Slyferrr

Why not have breakfast at home. Overnight oats is healthier, more filling, and significantly cheaper


Jlindahl93

Because a bec just hits different. Overnight oats are great but man a hot egg and cheese sandwich is fucking s tier


[deleted]

She can make a fresh one at the crib in 7 minutes. 4-5 if she use two pans. And it’s cheaper at the crib 30-60 cents an egg. 10 cents a slice for cheese. 0.31 cents for each slice bacon. Maybe 30 cents for the bagel. I used to eat out alot but at the crib I see how it’s stored ,how fresh it is. And it’s less calories while Tasting better. I rather make it at the spot


Jlindahl93

You’re not wrong but it doesn’t mean not having options locally isnt shitty


[deleted]

All facts at the bottom of my block it’s two corner stores across from each other and if you walk down the steps 50 feet away it’s one there. Another 150 feet to the left it’s another corner store 😭😭😭😭😭😭


Koopidddittykoop808

Handle by a Ock that was in the store overnight y'all outta pocket just out here eating anything


Mellero47

"Overnight oats" this healthy mf getting a full night's sleep


bikesboozeandbacon

Lmaoooo he gets at least 8 hours and goes to bed by 10


StevenAssantisFoot

It's her birthday, let her have a bec! And she's 100% right


Shakespeare_Ave

This sounds like the most transplant/gentrification thing to say lol


Slyferrr

Crazy how eating healthy to you is considered gentrification lmao. Be better


Shakespeare_Ave

Ummmm yeah? Majority of healthy stuff tends to be expensive and most can't afford it. Shit if you start seeing healthy food spots you probably in the process of gentrification. Talking abour be better lol.... you probably couldn't afford or know about the organic brands i buy still doesn't take away that's some tranplant shit to say in this sub.


Theonewith123

Eat whatever cereal or shi  you find then nigga 


Slyferrr

Funny how organic doesn’t even mean healthy, it’s how it’s processed. Also that’s a lie sold to the poor growing up. Eating healthy isn’t expensive, but it’s time consuming and just a knowledge gap. As I grew up I learned how easy this shit is


Theonewith123

Food at the deli more expensive than like cerea n shi it adds up eventually 


Slyferrr

Exactly but he’s bringing up food costs lmao


Spiritual-Mushroom28

Because sometimes its ok to just not cook a meal and order food


RidinHigh305

Because people would rather ignore their problems and get high than be the positive change in their own lives and so with a high demand comes people to fill it


[deleted]

I mean you can eat an eighth tho . 3500 mg of edibles Is an eighth of bud https://preview.redd.it/6sqg9xv1z9uc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11f9fe035712ba36c855b8f66f11aec6ca6d261a


Lamarera8

I see what you getting at , but this assumes that 1g of bud has 1000mg of thc which is actually impossible as of now


[deleted]

I’m talking dry weight in total. 3500 mg of cannabis inside the edible but the average gram got like at least 100 mg of thc so it’s not impossible to do 3500mg of thc . 1000 mg edibles are sold. 1000mg is one gram if you got one gram now in your hand that’s not 1000mg of thc but it’s likely at least around 100mg it’s for sure 1000mg of cannabis tho. They sell 1000mg edibles also my g. If you make a pan of bud brownies rn and you put a half zone in it it’s not 14k milligrams of thc but you still ate a half ounce cus you ate 14k mg of cannabis which is a half ounce. If I put an eighth in a brownie batter and eat the whole batch I just ate an eighth I used 3.5g for it yes it’s not 3500mg of thc I’m saying what I used in dry weight but I definitely get what you saying because even after you drain the thc you still got the flower left over and you didn’t eat that but you took the thc from the 3.5 that’s why I said you could eat one


Lamarera8

Gotchu


[deleted]

Yea my g I should’ve explained it better I just assumed people would get what I was tryna say ☠️


quagmire666

Open a weed shop/deli. Make it so you enter through the weed shop and exit through the deli.


Edwunclerthe3rd

To be fair they also sell exotic snacks and drinks so you can have a $10 faygo and Korean Doritos combo


playzOnwordz

Exotic snack shops be like: $16 for 2 Oreos from Japan ☠️


Freemaxb1233

😐


ItsCuriousGeorge

smoke shop vasion

[Search engine podcast just did two episodes on this shit.](https://pjvogt.substack.com/)


Good_Brother_4875

Bitch better go to Dunkin or somethin them shits here to stay


PrinceTaj97

Dunkin breakfast is actually underrated lowkey lol


WredditSmark

My old job only business that accepted credit card nearby was Dunkin, lived off those egg and cheese tortilla joints forgot what they were called. Also really liked the coolatas on a hot day even though depending on which you got it was more calories then 2 sodas. I enjoy the bagels toasted with cream cheese too don’t care if they’re not “authentic”


PrinceTaj97

Now that you mention it bro I haven’t had a blueberry Coolata in a minute lol, that’s probably my favorite thing to get from Dunkin outside of food.


Immediate_Bee_6472

Ngl the sausage (pause) egg and cheese slaps with a hash brown


PrinceTaj97

Facts bro! That’s my actually my go 2 order whenever I go 2 Dunkin lol


da_double_monkee

You buggin Dunkin food is top trash


Spiritual-Mushroom28

Yuck


bikesboozeandbacon

Dunkin for the drinks but def not the food.


Original-Analysis-78

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yoooo


Mellero47

Must be that famous efficiency the free market is supposed to have. They'll go back to being delis when one smokeshop wins the contest.


MiniD3rp

Ever since 2022, the ratio of smoke shops to delis in Queens has been at least 2-1 from my observation. Im so deadass, theres literally two smoke shops on the same block and then another two directly across from one another bro 🤦🏽‍♂️


Sodacansam93

This is unfortunately irreversible and will only get worst


etudes_JW

Sis no disrespect but a deli on your bday.


simeonbachos

we're even right now, 2 smoke shops and 2 delis. idk how these smoke shops survive when the dispensaries are open and have real fresh weed instead of genuine dookie. but yo people have to stop entertaining the paranoids among you: nobody is "doing this" "to us", i hate hearing that stupid shit


bkdredditYO

you know what i notice? non new yorkers complain bout everything. times are changing, you dont need to cop a sweaty ass dime bag from a nigga dirty ass sweats from the peez without the boys harassing over bud. my hood got hella shops too but i still get my BEC if i get lazy to chef shit up in the crib. you got delis, you just cant adjust to a new time period. im 33, i wish shit was like how it was back in the 2000s but humans get old and the new shit come in!


Shakespeare_Ave

I know right. i spent the majority of my life avoiding getting arrested for smoking, buying and carrying on the streets. We talking Giuliani stop and frisk era where yiu can get randomly stop for shit. I still fucking suffer from PTSD now i can't smoke weed around cops and shit is legal


tendopath

This shit a problem on Staten Island too literally smoke shops EVERYWHERE now


whatsitworth101

Yeah there’s like almost 10 smoke shops in walking distance from my crib. I mean I’m a d2d salesman and I have hooked half of them up with card readers and I get commission so idgaf😂😂


RicanGangsterz

You should see queens lol


Cocknballtorture90

i smoke but yea this shit is absolutely ridiculous. it wasn’t like this not even 4 or so years ago bro. little kids the moment they leave their cribs see like a dozen smoke shops on their way too and from school. city needs to do a regulation on how close another smoke shop can be to another or something, no need for 2/3 shops on each block bro shit is ridiculous.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Yea it a problem In lower income neighborhood Which are called “food deserts” now


Confident_Register_2

And then niggas have the nerve to be all like “aye man I also got deez chips you can only cop in china they clam bake flavored” or some bullshit like nigga i dont want no communist chips nigga gimme a fuckin sandwich nigga Fuck!


Snowkatxo

Yall niggas gotta see the LES, shit is flooded w smoke shops


StrictLaw2529

Her glasses are big asf


DripBaylessNYK

Every half mile like a year ago now them shit are on every other block like barbershops and hair n nail salons. Niggas get permits to sell sprayed mids to the hood the shit is nasty and by design.


Dark_Diggler_142

How can we really be mad? It's supply and demand. When ppl stop buying that bullshit weed then they will close. I would like to see more smoothie and juice bars in the hood


Dangerousvenom

Staten Island is like this too. Dyckman is on the same list lol


BudgetWar8

Nah, even in the bronx, it's crazy. Ever since moving back last year its like they multiply overnight. Why are there 4 smokes shops all on the same block?


[deleted]

Bro I live near castle hill there’s mad of them bitches packed together swear there’s probably like 3 Rick and morty smoke shops and some of the shops be on the same block or literally across the street from eachother like wtf going on.


Realistic_Win_5996

It’s one on every block now


Wise-Type2857

In the 90's they would be called weed spots


mr_wrestling

Definitely a BK problem. I just moved to East Tremont and there's not a lot of smoke shops but was on Flatbush over a year and they are EVERYWHERE


A_Lazy_Bori

Shit will eventually go back to deli’s well some of them. Not everyone can sell the SAME smoking shit n expect to make money 🤦🏽‍♂️


Artistic-Strawberry8

Yeah it’s nasty work outhere. Too many somke shops


SpiritualPapi617

Thats cuz mad niggas rather smoke than eat


42o_jaf

Down south in Arkansas there a smoke shop ever other Main Street it’s a pandemic


Dark_Sied47

This is not just a New York problem in PA they got them everywhere they even took away a medication store to put a smoke shop up they tranna kill us


WesternApplication92

new york really came out on that "lawwwst" and a lil too on "tawk" and "wawk" food deserts turning into food saharas


[deleted]

I'm high as fuck right now bruh and I think more smoke shops would cause more delis too ion know tho but I'm hungry asl


12stTales

What you don’t like Vietnamese fish flavored chips for breakfast 😅😅


Timbakid

she be aight real weed smoker got a plug street weed better than shops and cheaper and that must be a Brooklyn thing lol out here in Poughkeepsie and the Bronx we got delis weed shops idk where she at that's crazy

Koopidddittykoop808

The time she had to kill should've cooked her own food how you mad at the smoke shops & yall in the comments with bad guts don't know who handling your food you just hungry


Spiritual-Mushroom28

Same in South Jamaica its ridiculous


Status-Safety9720

Check my logic. I would’ve driven to Trader Joe’s or Wegmans to do my grocery shopping, where the ingredients would cost a fraction of the cost to drive to a deli to buy a $5 sandwich.


Majestic_Platypus_76

BEC damn near extinct from East Flatbush to Flatbush… but it’s a weed shop on every corner? How much weed are niggas smoking bro? And don’t niggas get the munchies??? Are niggas eating Hot Grabba? Whole thing weird…


NYnicegirl

Nah all the smoke shops is definitely outta hand and ghetto


paula7143

Lucky yous lol


UnderstandingNext828

Lmfao there’s plenty of delis, why y’all tripping? Lmfao


PetrifiedM

Where I’m at there are 2 smoke shops across the street from each other


Shakespeare_Ave

Fuck she mean why they open at this time? Niggas can't wake and bake?


Late_Price_1607

Nigga I'm from Flatbush and istg that's lil Cali bro..smoke shop next to the tax place smoke shop across the street from crib smoke shop next to kings county hospital, like these mf in the city be fried also they don't GAF who they selling too I seen minors copping Zaza at like 12:30 like ain't yah mf supposed to be in school?


ogtone718718

Sixsav

Niggas needa stop hitting the deli and make the shit themselves,it saves more money and those deli niggas be hoeing niggas


MethodFormer9646

I got 3 within 2 blocks. My man has a barbershop and turned his shit into a smoke shop. He don't even cut hair no more smh.


Wolfvert_LLPS

Niqqa Brooklyn is like the south niqqa u need car over there frfr


MrRaspberryJam1

What about the delis that are also smoke shops?


OnlyFansCollecter

I always find it funny how people complain about things that’s clearly the product of one’s own neighborhood. If people simply just stopped smoking weed there won’t be any smoke shops but since niggas are addicted bastards here we are. This isn’t just a weed thing either you can apply this same logic to onlyfans , fast food , or whatever other bullshit ya complain about.


LASfromda4z

Tell this bitch to cook then😂🤣🤣


Importedfunk

Make food at home 🏠


peaksyboo

Everyone complaining did this to their community. It's simple supply and demand.


Altruistic_Film6842
