Have you considered trying to grow your own? It only takes 3-4 plants in a closet to make enough for a couple people, you can control what they're treated with, and it's market proof. And generally per weight it's cheaper than buying at a dispensary...

Over the past 26 years, I've often thought that parenting is not a job for the weak. I keep thinking I know what that means. Now I realize that I will never know how bad it can get. Anytime you think you're past the worst, you get the universe's boot up your ass again.
