The ‘high’ cost of living in NYC

Some New York City dwellers are so determined to get high, they don’t seem to know, or care, that smoking marijuana in public can still get one arrested. A Post reporter observed six people openly lighting up doobies over the course of a few hours last week. The possession — but not public smoking — of 25 grams or less of pot was made punishable with summonses in the city this past November, but cops often let puffers off the hook with warnings or tickets.

I guess to some people, getting stoned relieves the pain of the city’s high cost of living and disintegrating quality of life.
