Hey all,
I live someplace where MMJ is legal, and my sister and I were talking today about how weird it is to be able to just walk into a dispensary and buy whatever you want anytime they are open (as long as you have all your paperwork in order, that is). Of course that got us off on a discussion about the bad old days when we couldn't get it legally and had to resort to the black market, so I thought I'd start a thread about the things we all hate (or used to hate) about trying to get our favorite herb. Feel free to add your own gripes or stories.
The thing I always hated was that you could never seem to rely on the dealers. I've spent god knows how many hours over the years waiting around for someone to come back with the stuff for a deal that was all supposed to have been arranged, only for them to show up and say they couldn't get ahold of the guy, or that he was out of stuff, etc, etc, etc. How many times have I heard "I should be able to get it by tomorrow" , or "I'm going to be too busy the next couple days, but I can get it when I see them this weekend".
Thing is, I'm the sort of customer a good dealer loves to have-My sister and I have been going in together for years, and we are as regular as clockwork- One QP every other week, and we always have the money ready at delivery time and never ask about fronts. Sure, thats not a huge amount, but you would think that when you let them know your needs up front they wouldn't make promises they couldn't possibly keep. In all my years I've only had one connection i could truly count on, and after he moved out of state I never did meet another dealer that could live up to their claims when it came time to deliver on a regular basis.
