Six storefront business on a ten-block stretch of Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights yesterday were busted for selling drugs yesterday in a raid by NYPD; most of the contraband was marijuana with a little cocaine thrown into the mix for good measure. It was an open drug bazaar on Nostrand Avenue, said Councilwoman Letitia James The businesses involved included Chris Restaurant, Press Play CD King, D & Z Variety, though it’s believed that they were all operating independently. At lunch it turned into a veritable pot-luck event, said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. You could go in and get drugs in the food itself or go to the back of the store and pick it up or even buy it over the counter. Eight individuals were arrested, though if last year’s drug bust on Putnam and Grand is any indication, the businesses will probably be back up and running in no time. Absurd.

If we legalized marijuana and put a tax on it, brownstone owners could benefit from even lower property taxes!!! Stay focused here, people.

“$8.59 an 1/8? Crap… that’s either horrible weed or the weed market has tanked harder than the Miami housing market!”
Is that the wholesale price or street price? If it’s wholesale the street guys are making 5k profit on a pound
(Umm… not that I would have any idea what the prices of Mary-hwana would be. See, I don’t even know how to spell it.)
$8.59 an 1/8? Crap… that’s either horrible weed or the weed market has tanked harder than the Miami housing market!
“Holy crap, dem boyz musta had the just-in-time delivery system down cold!”
The CH delivery guys are the ones that supply the Slope – so that would explain it!
170 pounds per week.
How much did the cops seize?
That would be 2.
Let’s see, 168 hours in a week…
Holy crap, dem boyz musta had the just-in-time delivery system down cold!
