Reply to comment by TheNormalAlternative in Weed Gardens: More illicit cannabis shops sprout up in Kew Gardens by painess

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.

You seem like you would be a blast at a party

One with martinis and manhattans and hot jazz, yes.

A stoner party with Pink Floyd playing... I'd be asleep in 10 minutes.
