Is Marijuana Easy to Come By Where You Live?

[MineralMan]

I'm long out of the loop when it comes to marijuana. I was a daily smoker in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but quit smoking it in 1974. So, I have no idea what the availability is today. So, DUer's, if you know, you can use this poll to help me, and others like me, understand whether it's a scarce thing or available almost anytime.

1. Are you talking "legal medical" or otherwise?

Seems like there are dispensaries everywhere you look in Colorado now--at least in Denver and other major smaller cities...

I imagine that has driven down prices for the corner trade... though I've not tried. I get "high" just whiffing my neighbor's exhales, as I walk by....;)

[MineralMan]

7. I'm really not making the distinction.

So, I guess people will vote based on what they know on their own basis. It's just a general survey.

2. My response was based on husband

Who has medical card...i said easy to get. In wa state seattle area.

[sad sally]

40. Not so easy in the rest of WA state. Legal dispensaries were shut down by law enforcement

in Thurston and Lewis counties, maybe others. So for folks who have a valid prescription, they have to risk traveling to get it.

3. Widespread

In the 70's and 80's, my wife and I knew very few people who didn't smoke pot. It's not much different these days, but people are much more guarded about it. You would probably be surprised in your own neck of the woods about who is secretly smoking pot.
...and yes, it's the old "doctors, lawyers, etc." qualifier.

26. People are a lot more secret about it in Florida, than say, California.

I've lived in both places.

4. No idea

Never touched the stuff

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Where I am

Pretty damn easy.

[Iggo]

6. I voted 'don't know, don't use'...

...because it's the truth. I don't actually know.

However, I live in L.A. County in Southern California, so I have a pretty good guess.

[NYC_SKP]

8. Imma put down my pipe and respond to youse.

J/K I quit smoking some time ago, but am led to believe it's easy to get.

I know two growers who are complaining about how the price has been plummeting and I think (not positive as I type this) that I saw a billboard advertising a dispensary in the SF Bay Area in the past week.

But that's Northern California, for ya.

:hi:

[noiretextatique]

10. the clubs aren't paying growers much

shockingly little in fact. the prop z club i got to seems to be doing a brisk business, but they aren't taking new customers. i hear they will be gone soon.

[MilesColtrane]

9. I don't smoke it, but it would be pretty easy to find if I wanted some.

[LeftyMom]

11. Last I heard there were 80ish dispensaries. Some of them deliver.

So yeah, it's easy to get. Not my thing though.

[Curmudgeoness]

12. I truly don't know, but from all the busts in my area, I assume

it is available all over the place. I am with you, used it in my youth but don't bother anymore. And now, I would be afraid to try to buy it expecting anyone I ask to be a cop and everyone who isn't a cop to think I am one.

[shanti]

13. i'm in california

take a wild guess :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

14. My next door neighbor

is growing in his unfenced yard.

[pipi_k]

15. I dunno. Don't use it. Which doesn't mean I'm against it...

If it makes ya happy, then smoke it.

I just don't care for it myself.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. I live in Oregon

nt

[WheelWalker]

36. +1

[Kali]

17. easy as waiting for it to sprout, grow, bud, or getting the cash to buy it

I think right now the former would be faster, sigh

[elocs]

18. I have absolutely no idea. Never used it, never will. Just my choice. n/t

[etherealtruth]

19. I don't know

I haven't used it since the late 70s eaarly 80s ... it was plentiful and easy to obtain then. my understaning is that it remains that way today ...but i don't know first hand

[FirstLight]

20. well, if you know people...

it's the usual, 'stoner's rule' if you know someone, it's not too hard to come by...

what sucks us when you have a regular person who decides to move or quit, and then you have to figure out who else you can hit up. and I hate it when friends think I only want to talk to them because you want to 'hook up'...lol or maybe that's just my personal paranoia!

I'm in CA and our little town has 3 dispensaries. i wish I "could" go and just get a card and be done with it. problem is, being on welfare or food stamps makes me nervous. i don;t want my name on that list in case they decide to use it against me. I have chronic debilitating arthritis, and it allows me to function on a really normal basis...but try explaining that to your social worker :(

[Speck Tater]

21. My vote was based on hearsay because I, of course, never use the stuff.

at least not since about 1972 or so. But I know some people who know some people who say its everywhere here.

[Fumesucker]

22. Agent Mike, is that you?

:evilgrin:

[The Midway Rebel]

23. Tons of Mexican brick weed around the Midwest USA.

It can be easy to find if you know the right people and this week I, apparently do not. Fuck it says me. I am tired of supporting the blackmarket thugs and local dope dealers who spend their profits on Xanax and trips to the Las Vegas casinos. I just dropped 30 seeds into dirt and watered them in. I am growing again for the first time in 6 years. Ask me this quetion again this time next year.

[Shagbark Hickory]

25. Ask you again in a year? Are you planning on being in a 6x9 cell in a year?

[The Midway Rebel]

30. No,

In fact, that is a dumbass question.

[Shagbark Hickory]

31. Why then? Do you plan on having sexually mature plants in one years time?

[The Midway Rebel]

37. Nope.

Clones, dude.

:smoke:

[Romulox]

35. Just say no--to brick!

Demand Sensi!

[The Midway Rebel]

39. I am!

I only need some genetic stock and I will be back in the trenches of the drug war once again.

Take that fascists!

[Romulox]

41. I, um, read a story about these guys in the Metro Times (alt. weekly)

[rucky]

24. Not the good shit.

but the stemmy seedy brown crap is easy to come by.

I've read somewhere.

[HopeHoops]

27. Yes, from what I've heard. I quit smoking the stuff over 20 years ago so I don't know first hand.

[nc4bo]

28. I don't indulge but know people and family who do and it's pretty easy to get

"if you know the right people".

[Chan790]

29. I don't have the hookup...

but if I did I'm fairly certain that it's easy as pie to get high in DC.

[Arkansas Granny]

32. It's not as easy to find as it was 10-20 years ago, but it's still pretty readily available.

[Blue_In_AK]

33. It's been decriminalized in Alaska since 1975.

It's everywhere, in all walks of life.

[Romulox]

34. 100 % legal buds in Michigan!

u mad????

[WheelWalker]

38. Availability hasn't changed in the last 44 years, that I can see; however, I dispute the claim

that today's dope is so much more potent than we had back then. That's bullshit. The indoor stuff they grow today is crap IMO. No comparison. I'd rather have good old seeded Panama Red from the spring of 1970 than anything in the dispensary today.

[Broken_Hero]

42. Yep, extremely easy

in all the towns/cities I have lived in.

[roody]

43. There was an over-supply last harvest, and the price dropped considerably.
