just because it's "black-market" doesn't mean that it's not still a market. There's always competition.

Personally I choose to see that my dollar goes to the conscientious and respectful dealer. People who I choose to hang out with regardless of the financial connection. Just like buying from organic farms or companies that don't employ child labor...

Fuck meeting on street corners, alleyways or the inside the car. Fuck the dealers who try and gouge for a bag of bammer. I'm all about being able to just call and drop by a friend's, smoke a bowl after the day, catch up on each other's lives, bring out the scale and watch the weighing process if I care too, or just play with the cat while trusting my friend to not try and shaft me.

In conclusion. Support local growers and honest dealers!
