NYC’s gray market is exploding, and the legacy market is trying to polish its image
I recently visited the city to check out the vibrant gray market. One of my first stops was Granny Za’s Weed Marijuana Dispensary on the Lower East Side. Inside was a small, brightly-painted showroom with several clerks behind glass cases with examples of product.
Before I picked up my preroll, I asked the clerk if their flower was grown locally. He said “I can’t actually tell you where it comes from.”
A moment later he told me, “All of our stuff is grown and fully tested in California.”
