What DC lacks in quality, they make up in pricing. It's funny how the weed culture on the west coast and the east coast is completely different. Legal weed is a very new thing here. It feels like when i was a teenager in the late 90s, visiting my cousins in cali, hearing about the "weed store" and seeing the packaging looking like cartoony, copyright infringement branding. The east coast Gray Market scene like DC, where it's legalized, but no mandatory lab testing leads to a lot of counterfeiting and sometimes outright rip offs. I've found 2... Out of dozens of delivery services that always deliver the GOODS for a low price for what would be considered "dispensary weed".
There's a huge upcharge on what people here call "Rapper Weed". Which essentially is high THC% weed, repackaged in "branded" mylar bags that you can find on Amazon and Ali Express. It'll sell for $75-80 for an 8th and is totally not worth it. In some ways it's the best thing and the worst thing that's ever happened to weed in DC. I pay $140 sometimes $130 for good quality ounces, or $100 for a 1/2 oz of "exotic" strains.
I miss being able to just goto my barber shop, give the guy in the back $40 and he gave you a fist full of midgrade in a grocery bag.
