Before you start wondering where you can get this expensive and potent pot, it turns out that the drug ring that offered it has been busted by the NYPD and feds. The Post reports that Purple Haze sold for $560 an ounce and got its name from buds with a purple stain; it also "contains highly elevated levels of THC." That must be some crazy toke. Orlando Torres, who operated the ring in upper Manhattan, was arrested.
In recent weeks, detectives with the Manhattan North Narcotics Major Case Unit and federal authorities in Miami have busted 29 people, including diamond-studded, bling-wearing Orlando Torres, the alleged New York-based ringleader.Or is that John Pot-ti? At any rate, the Purple Haze operation, which had shipments of 1000 pounds of the pot to NYC a week, was serious stuff. When $90,000 was stolen, Torres hired a polygraph expert "to give his crew lie-detector tests to see if they betrayed him and were involved in the heist."Torres, 26, reputedly took over the Big Apple distribution operation after his alleged predecessor, Edward Meran, a father of seven, was gunned down in Washington Heights on Jan. 11, 2005. Meran was something of a John Gotti-like presence in his community, sponsoring the Dominican Power basketball team and founding the Dyckman Invitational Basketball League for local athletes, sources said.
We suspect you can still get Purple Haze somewhere. At $560/oz., we're sure there are many people willing to sell it.





suppose we all just mind our own business and legalize it.
$560 an ounce is not that much. There are 28 grams in an ounce and people routinely pay $50-60 for 2 grams in the city.
I am so pissed ! I had a guy from Queens who used to offer this and lately, depsite my best efforts, no CB's! I'm sure my number is now on some cops watch list - fuckin' aholes!
Purple Haze is still widely available- and the holiday season means that Purple Haze isn't even the best stuff in town at the moment. God Bless NYC Delivery in Christmas season...
Why is weed still illegal in NYC? All the politicians and cops smoke it, besides alcohol is much worse for the body and mind.
I love silly pot names :)
Anybody know where to get a nice coke spoon for the holidays ? Ya' know, like they have in the movies ?
Purple haze is so much cheaper in California. It goes for 320 to about 400 for some pretty quality shit.
HA! i know the da on this case.
Who knows what they did to enhance the potency of those plants. As much as I love weed, I'll pass for now.
White Widow and Christmas cookies; going to be the best Christmas yet!
Ugh.
Anyone that knew anything about pot wouldn't find this the least bit interesting or newsworthy.
Ugh.
Actually it's because we do, and the Post doesn't, that we do find it interesting, oh dudely one. So STFU hipster from NYU from Ohio originally and pack your bags for xmas in Toledo, smoking stems and seeds in your parents basement ... fag
no, wait, taylor is awesome. ohio is awesome. awesome pot comes from taylor because awesome pot comes from ohio.
when people get busted for pot, it pisses me off. i mean, come on, pigs, judges, and legislators, wtf are you thinking...
stfu taylor. your mom's douchebag is your waterbong, i know it, you know it, little girl.
Still illegal for some strange reason. Haze is nice but too strong. Nothing like nice Blueberry or White Widow. How they get it that potent, hydrophonics and cloning, that means green thumb and lots of love. :)
if there is a bust for purple haze, just maybe i'd like to know. why some areas are dry or stuck with only sour diesel like a couple months ago. go back to smoking oregano or huffing markers/paint taylor.
there's always northern lights and whatnot. cush is pretty good, considered the cream of the crop to some people. $600 - $700 i heard for an oz. onwards i say, the holiday season won't fail on the consumers.
oh you guyzzzz :-D
all i have to say is that there is plenty of better strainds out there than this purple haze you just need the right connects
Places you can buy purple haze/sour diesel:
163 & Bway - South West corner (go down towords ft. wash)
164 & Bway - South West corner (go down towords ft. wash)
172 & Audobon - North East corner
175th between Ft. Wash broadway - North side of street
180th-181st on Pinehurst - west side of street
176th & St. Nick - south west corner, towords wadsworth av.
...and anywhere else in wash high/inwood, within 5-10 blocks there will be weed. ;)
That's a start, you weed heads :P
i can vouch for citizens 172/Audubon i also use 173/st.nick. the heights are the spot for the XO's
any locations further downtown?
the parks are no good anymore? Any ideas
Parks are bad, Joe... dont buy from anyone in a park.
As for downtown, I would just be careful... the village is full of cops and shady people, where as uptown if you can convince them you're not a cop it's pretty easy to get haze... also you really shouldn't pay more than $400 for an ounce of haze. Sour Diesel may run you a bit more.
The upper west side has some spots, but you will not find good haze because harlem/uws isn't run by Dominicans. XD
108th & Manhattan has weed and if you continue up Manhattan there are some weed spots, but the north-west corner of 108/Manhattan ave. is one I know better. ;) ... not good weed though.
-note for ppl in nj or coming by car: be careful. NYPD targets drivers entering/leaving Washington Heights via the GWB and they keep track of how long you spend in the neighborhood. Best bet is to have a good system, perhaps even parking your car in Fort Lee and taking a NJ Transit bus over the bridge.
thanks citizen
Good luck, be safe and remember to never give anyone money until you see the product. If not break the deal and walk away.
Be safe New York. Weed makes you lazy and boring. Don't smoke weed. ;)
Well Im from Ohio And I know some really good connects. good weed fair prices. maybe 120 oz.
whe ever pays more than $450.00 an Oz is stupid or you just dont know anyone.PPPPPPPPPPPP.SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. that B tchass ni a that shouted out all the blocks on this site . If you a man show your face on any block you just named, and tell people what you wrote here . see how far you get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Masukembo, even though he destroyed all remnants of grammar. I can't believe this dude actually named the fkn block(s) where you can get shit at.

everyone knows haze is the best but if you pay more than $400 then you are a fucking idiot. If you think haze is too strong for you then you're a pussy and you shouldn't even be smoking trees. I smoke strictly haze everyday and I'd rather smoke a newport then trees that aren't exotic but no weed out there is as good as haze cause no weed makes you cough like haze. and i've been to amsterdam and i've smoked the sour, the northern, white widow and rhino...
you people are all morons, what they call "haze" in nyc is maybe a haze hydrid at best. purple haze is a phenotype of pure haze that was only available commercially in the 70's in california. none of you idiots will ever buy real haze on the street because the plants take twice as long to flower current commerial varieties.
Listen shmucks, from someone who knows W. Heights, believe me there is haze everywhere. Perhaps not Purple but a strand of haze far supperior to anything in the commercial tri-state area. Also remember when papi sells you that and gives it a name, your trusting a street pharmacist. Just remember that...
oh yeah and you forgot a spot
167th between audobon and amsterdam. South side of the street usually...
I speak from personal experienced, i just lit up an nice el of the haze.
Burnt
Oh yeah i forgot 1 more thing. This article is on W. Heights. If you go up to the heights and cop a oz. of the piff you need not spend more than 400 to 425 at the most for a zipper of the hizzle. If your paying in WASHINGTON HEIGHTS 700 for an oz. your a shook white boy from long island...
Oyster Bay to be exact... lol
Aaah man I would love to get my hands on some of that stuff. Even with the "samples" i get sent, I don't have any hope of hitting the legendary Purple Haze, if it's still available. Apparently NYC Diesel is a descendant, and there are a few others out there.
I'll keep looking. In the mean time check out my Weed Review page.
