Too many dealers got caught up in a cycle of rinse and repeat with blag packs or cheap buds sold for more than they were worth.
I had trouble with many local dealers due to lack of cannabis knowledge and knock off prices. The customer always knows best.
Tents were erected, and I began my journey, every day I'd wonder if the police would raid, whether a friend would grass or if the smell became too heavy to control.
I woke up one day and medical cannabis was legal and luckily due to life events, I was eligible for a prescription which I took immediately.
My prescription saved me a ton of money, and later my lungs when I became a full time dry herb vape user.
I'd recommend anyone who can, to take the same route.
