i'd rather buy it on the street than buy it online. the problem is the time lag.
listen: if i wanted to buy it through the mail, i'd just get a medical card. but, then i need to make guesses on how much i want to buy over the course of a month. in the process, i'm going to end up smoking more than i want to. i won't do this; i'll continue to buy it underground, where i can get smaller amounts immediately on demand.
