I hadn't set foot in the city since 2017. When did everything start smelling of pot? West 113th Street smells like pot. Simpson Street in the Bronx smells like pot. As does White Plains Road. As does Grand Central. Penn. Broadway. Is there a pot-free street anywhere? The only place I haven't smelled the stuff is inside Town Hall, where I heard a Beethoven Quartet. My friend and I were the youngest people there and we're both sixty-six.
I wouldn't mind people doing it on the weekends, though I'll stick to a glass of red wine myself.
That sickly-sweet, skunky smell is on every block in every neighborhood.
How do folks function at work?
I walked past Columbus Circle on my way to meet a friend for coffee. Beside the usual group of folks peddling photos and pictures of New York scenes sat a guy with a big sign: NEED WEED?
I don't. I need fresh air. So does New York.
When I caught a good whiff the other day, while out walking the pooch, I heard an older man behind me say “Everyone in New York is stoned all the time.” It does seems that way!
ReplyDeleteHow does anyone get any work done?
DeleteI also noticed the last time I was in NYC. Prefer edibles myself -- scentless soaring!
ReplyDeleteI'll have a glass of wine once in a while.
