As best I can tell, Forbes was the only outlet to run in full this AP dispatch on the expanded use and increasingly corporate nature of drug delivery services in New York City. It's a smart article on an interesting topic:

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…

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.

"These are very nice, discreet people," said Chris, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition only his first name be used. "There's an unspoken trust. It's better than going to some street corner and getting ripped off or killed.…

"It's certainly been the trend in the past 10 years in urban areas that are becoming gentrified," said Ric Curtis, an anthropology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice who specializes in the drug culture.…

Investigators seized customers' names and addresses from the drug operation's computer logs. But those people face little risk of prosecution, authorities said.

Delivery services are nothing new, and obviously it's near-impossible to measure a black market economy, but the piece reinforces my impression that the delivery market has boomed, as a result of better policing over the last 14 years, and the new, young money brought to New York by the drop in crime and the real estate boom.

The nut quote above may be "otherwise law abiding professionals." The implicit question, of course, is whether or not the police should be involved in doing much to go after delivery services don't contribute to crime—if outside of the drug sale and use itself, no further crime is created/no window is broken, it becomes a low police priority.

On the other hand, a fairness question—this in effect stipulates that middle class drug use is, if not quite decriminalized, not bothed with. And that those with less are far purused far more vigorously for the same sort of activities.
