Drugs Street-Level Pot Dealers Say Their Illegal Weed Is Still Superior
Posted by Eli Sanders on Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 8:00 AM
News intern Al Jacobs reports in this week's Stranger:
Now that smoking weed is perfectly legal and state-regulated pot stores are on their way, what do street-level pot dealers make of the passage of Initiative 502?
To find out, I went to the University District and walked along the Ave. When people called out "Bud?" or offered to sell me weed, I identified myself as a reporter and asked them what they thought about legalization.
I was surprised by how many of them talked to me. Some were suspicious that I was just looking for free weed. One guy—yes, they were all men—asked me if I was "jive-talking" him. (He then handed me a strawberry-flavored lollipop and told me to have a nice day.) Another guy, dressed in a fur hat and gold chain, responded to my question on his feelings about I-502 with a glare and a question of his own: "Do I look optimistic?"
Others had more to say.
You gotta hear what else they had to say. KEEP READING --->
