WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STREET WEED AND DISPENSARY WEED?
As someone who has lived in the district prior to legalization I have had the experience of buying from a dealer as well as stepping into a dispensary. This article will explain the biggest difference between the two.
DISPENSARY WEED is a nominally more expensive than street weed and the product is much higher quality. You must be 21 to purchase from a weed dispensary. There are dispensaries popping up left and right in dc. If you are a card holder, you can walk in any dispensary shop and have the product when you want it, not when your dealer finally texts you back. Dispensaries buy flower in volume and have local connections that benefit your local community. I delight in looking at all of the new strains and I feel like a kid in a candy shop. A dispensary will tell you difference between mac runtz strain, a icelato strain, butterfingerz strain, grape runtz, pink runtz lemon cherry gelato, bubble gum gelato. Sound amazing right? It is!! You can see it, smell it and understand the desired medical effects of each strain. I get a great education from my local dispensaries on new strains hitting the market. The product is taxed and there is nothing illegal about the purchase of weed from a dispensary near me in DC.
STREET WEED This is flower that comes a local dealer who is selling illegaly on the black market. Its extemely difficult and frustrating to predict the desired effects you get from smoking it becuase they may not know what strain it is. Buying weed from a street dealer is never safe and furthermore a dealers do not grow their own product and its typically not the only drug they sell. Would you like to buy your weed from the same person that sold heroin to another person, or really anthing else other that just weed near me? Do you really know who you are buying from? Good luck getting a real name or any information that will make you feel secure about the transaction. Now I'm not saying that all street dealers are into this but its rare that they will commit to selling one drug because they thrive on having a diverse clientel. When you finally do meet with said 'dealer' you run the risk of being in the wrong time and wrong place with the dealers creditors are after him, or he could just rob you becuase what are you going to do-call the cops and tell them what happend? think about it. I would not want to be caught in that crossfire or have my mugshot on the 6 o'clock news next to my dealers mug shot and all of his cronies. You never know who your dealer is doing business with and you are who you associate with in the eyes of the law. Also, you dont know what happened to it between the harvest and the delivery. The quality of street weed is like playing jack in a box. Street dealers might sell you old dried up crumbling weed that someone left in the trunk of car during the hot summer, and when you finally hand your cash over you realize you've been duped again because there are no regulations or consequences. Or it could be great? Alarmingly, some dealers mix street weed with tabacco, or will spray it with household cleaner to give you a buzz or make you feel a 'different' high. Anyone who subscribes to these practices is low life. Many drug dealers will say they are selling one substance, but in actuality, they will either be selling a less pure version of that substance or a different substance entirely. For example, coke dealers can cut pure cocaine with bath salts or methamphetamine, which can lead to overdose. Personally, the most annoying thing in the world is when you text a dealer and then wait hours or days for them to get back to you. I absolutley cannot stand this! My money is green! The saftey and availablity that dispensaries offer is a major perk that street weed simply cannot compete with. Living in DC I have always known somebody who knows a street dealer but the wait and the end result was never worth it in the end. Know what your getting, know who you are getting it from and please enjoy it to the fullest.
