#2Whats the price difference here? Doesn't seem worth the effort of hitting up a dealer unless you're picking up a couple other party platters.

Right, 1%-5%. But I don't think I'd care to deal with illegal product and any possible (even if unlikely) headaches around it just to save $1-$5 for every $100 spent. Seems kinda foolish.
But yeah, I suppose if you're also picking up some illegal stuff, makes sense to make it a one-stop shopping trip.

Dealers are more likely to make house calls?

Perhaps it's more about supporting your local small business?

I don’t know, when I lived in Mountain View I could get (legal) cannabis delivered faster than pizza.

I don't smoke weed, (not for moral reasons, I just hate it), but the incentive structures are really weird.
My read on the situation is... Government wants to tax the weed and ensure its safe. So there are a ton of regulations which require you to do a lot of extra work and are expensive.
That, along with the taxes creates a huge price differential between legal and illegal weed.
I thought it was all about taxes at first, but I've come to understand that illegal growers often use toxic pesticides that further increase yield-- and thus it is important to know where your weed comes from.

#10Wait I was told that when it was legalized there would be no more underground drug market. Seems things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface.
