Get the had my friend check new yorkmug. New York 1/8th
A New York 1/8th refers to a common measurement for marijuana in NYC, particularly in the pre-legalization era of the mid-2000s. While an eighth (1/8th of an ounce) is traditionally 3.5 grams, in New York City, it was widely accepted that an "eighth" usually meant 3.0 grams—a well-known but rarely contested shorting of weight.
This was an open secret among buyers and sellers, a subtle nod to the city's hustle culture. Rather than being seen as a ripoff, it became an inside joke—a shared understanding between both parties that the NYC market had its own rules. Over time, the term evolved beyond just weed and is now used to describe any situation where someone knowingly accepts a slight shortcoming with a sense of pride and humor.
Whether you're reminiscing about pre-legalization pickups or recognizing a familiar NYC-style short, the New York 1/8th is a term of endearment, not a complaint.

Get the New York Pipelinesmug. Also known as YRA, it is a school for kids with mental disabilities. Kids suffer chronic depression once they step foot into the building, and immediately want to commit die. Also, students get drug checked and suspended every two seconds.
The only good thing is probably easy grades till junior year, then you're fucked.
Types of students who attend include Furries, Computer nerds, D&D Players, and r e d a c t e d.
There is the legend that once every 5 years there's actually a cool group of kids who attend the school, but tis only a legend.
Or it is?
Attend at your own risk.
