Home pot delivery service in New York

But now it's busted:

NEW YORK (AP) - In a city where you can get just about anything delivered to your door _ groceries, dry cleaning, Chinese food _ pot smokers are increasingly ordering takeout marijuana from drug rings that operate with remarkable corporate-style attention to customer satisfaction.


An untold number of otherwise law-abiding professionals in New York are having their pot delivered to their homes instead of visiting drug dens or hanging out on street corners.Among the legions of home delivery customers is Chris, a 37-year-old salesman in Manhattan. He dials a pager number and gets a return call from a cheery dispatcher who takes his order for potent strains of marijuana.


Within a couple of hours, a well-groomed delivery man sometimes a moonlighting actor or chef arrives at the doorstep of his Manhattan apartment carrying weed neatly packaged in small plastic containers.
