Another Post hit piece targeting one specific business.
Didn't the Post do the same thing to Big Chief in Bay Ridge, and then surprise surprise, the sheriffs actually shut it down?
If you don't want weed, don't go into a weed shop. How's it any different than the liquor stores and starbucks that plaster the city that only cater to a plurality of new yorkers.

If ones lives in a rougher part of NYC, alcoholics will line up at opening time and sip outside. That isn't legal and a lot worse than the weed stores.

I don't want porn palaces or "massage joints" near my house and I'd prefer they not be there. Just "not going in" isn't enough with the taxes I pay.

Sounds like something someone from the suburbs would say. If you want a quiet neighborhood, live in a quiet neighborhood. If a business makes you uncomfortable, that's a you problem.

I live in Queens, but whatever. So if a bar near you tries to cater to a different clientele than it has and now has noise at all hours, that's your problem, huh?

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, but if I didn't like the crowd at a bar, I simply would not go to that bar. There's a place for everyone.

I think it's incredibly disingenuous to equate "noise at all hours" with anything else. I don't think anyone wants that and I don't think anyone is complaining about that. Weed shops have regular hours too, and it's not like stoners are known for being rambunctious types. You'd get more 24-7 noise living next to a McDonalds or any regular/non-exotic deli/bodega.

I passed one on 7th Avenue in the upper W 40s. Two dudes were blowing inside and the pungent stench that came out was ghastly. I can't imagine living upstairs from that.
So imagine that there's dozens of McDonald's opening up all over the city. Setting aside the dubious legality of most, that's what these pot emporiums are doing; simply popping up everywhere.
I make no apologies for living in a suburban Queens environment blocks away from any commercial enterprise. I hope that a pot shop opens under your window. See if you like it.

I hate to break it to you, but people smoke pot inside their apartments too. People do live upstairs from that and manage just fine.
And I hope a pot shop does open underneath my window.

People also have screaming arguments inside their apartments. They slam doors, too. That doesn't mean it's ok.

One with martinis and manhattans and hot jazz, yes.
A stoner party with Pink Floyd playing... I'd be asleep in 10 minutes.
