Here's the story of "Ricky" — just a regular Joe who happens to work at a large media company, likes to kick back with a few beers at Joshua Tree after work, and carries a messenger bag. And — shocker! — he orders weed from a delivery service.

In a city in which residents are accustomed to delivery services ranging from groceries to laundry, some, like Ricky, have discovered the convenience and safety of having drugs—namely marijuana—brought directly to their doors. “I’ve never bought pot in New York any other way,” says Ricky, who has lived in New York City for more than eight years and who has used a variety of delivery services for the past six.

We're sure we don't have to mention this is the most passe article we've read in a really long time. Honestly, we'd expect something like this from Sunday Styles … but the New York Press? Come on people. Weed delivery is as common in NYC as L train breaking down.

Well, at least they do one thing semi-hip and half-way cool. They do point out that letting drug dealers come to your apartment is safer than buying bug-spray soaked oregano from Washington Square Park.
