On a recent weekday afternoon, the high-end flagship’s shoe department smelled less like Manolo Blahnik leather and more like a head shop, a stylist told The Post.
“It’s jarring when you walk into a high-end department store where you used to smell Chanel perfume and now it’s weed,” the stylist, who requested anonymity, said. (The Post has reached out to Saks for comment).
But, she admitted: “Everywhere you go in New York City smells like weed. It’s not just Saks — it’s at Bloomingdales, at the movies … there’s no high-end anymore.”
Indeed, brazen New Yorkers are lighting joints on the F train, ripping vape pens on the Hampton Jitney and firing up at upscale restaurants like Carbone and Nobu 57, observers told The Post.

Just don’t DARE light up a Marlboro!
The Rotten Apple
That stuff can make you schizophrenic, especially given how strong the stuff is today.
Hey they have standards!
I smoke frequently but never in public and never in the house. I don’t want my clothes and other stuff smelling like weed.
Lots of complaints in our apartment project with that “smell” wafting through the buildings. I’m sure doctors are writing prescriptions like crazy, too. Does insurance cover marijuana??
Golly who would have guessed that encouraging people to smoke pot would make people smoke pot?
There’s no high end anymore … so right, but I don’t think that’s what she meant. (I’m not referring to getting high either.)
Crime, insanity, illegals, and isolation caused by crime have come to New York ‘high end’ and they’re ducking out like the most normal of ghetto dwellers.
The decline of America in just my lifetime is staggering.
The promotion of ghetto culture as “cool” and females being whores as “freedom” disgusts me. Throw in drugs and sexual deviant behaviors as icing.
I would have preferred living during our ascendency. Fate says otherwise…
Don’t mind the maggots.
Why don't they vape? Minimal, although not zero, odor. Or, spend a day on gummies?
They had such a cow over cigarettes.
Big campaign to stop menthol and flavored cigs.
Stopped e cigarettes which I thought so stupid as many successfully use them to quit smoking.
Just insane.
Well, isn’t that special.
This is awesome. Couldn’t think of a more fitting condition for NYC.
Is it just me?
Or is weed the new Newports?
>>They had such a cow over cigarettes.
Only because that was an excuse to raise taxes. They know they can’t get away with a 1000% sin tax on dope.
