In DC? I'm not gonna say it never happens, but it certainly happens dramatically less frequently than it used to.

Not really, but with a caveat. I did a lot of pricing research on the respective "gray markets" of both areas before I started growing my own. DC is the easiest market to get decent bulk pricing without having to look too hard. Richmond, for that sort of pricing, you need an in at one of the more established gray markets here. It can be tough to score an in for obvious reasons.

I've literally received obvious weed deliveries RIGHT in front of cops. When something like that is the case, "legal versus illegal" feels like a purely semantic argument, thus masturbatory nonsense.
