DC cannabis "sharing"?
    #22059935 - 08/07/15 06:18 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I'm gonna be in DC in a couple weeks in order to ride the  C&O and GAP bike trails back to western PA.  It got me to wondering what the grow and share scene is like in our nation's capital.

For example, are there ways that people meet up and share or even give away weed, maybe in exchange for "donations" to some organization or something.  It makes sense to me that this sort of thing might develop with people pushing of the boundaries of the new laws there.

I ask for strictly academic reasons of course.  I am genuinely interested in how a measure like grow and share would affect cannabis culture and the ways that consumers interact.  In fact I'm surprised I haven't seen much about this topic elsewhere.

Though I will admit that it would be cool to see some sort of legal marijuana.  I don't plan on heading west any time soon, but I'd still like to actually see for myself that things may be getting better.  It's still pretty much full war on drugs, including marijuana, where I live.

i dont think strangers are gonna want to "share" their weed with a stranger(you) dude.

either you got money, or something they want, and can make a trade, or not


you dont really think people will just give you a bag of weed out of the kindness of their hearts, right?

Wasn't the DC election overruled by congress or something?

No, I assumed that people would be sharing weed with somebody that would make a donation to some other, um, completely unrelated charity or things like that.  I never expected free weed and wouldn't really want it.  I'd actually be glad to support anybody who is pushing the bound of what people are allowed to do.  Hell, I'll donate double if it is for a good cause.

Yea, for the record, I have plenty of money and plenty of fun things to put in my body.  I just legitimately think it would be cool to see history in the making if I had the chance.

Edit:  I don't really even like to smoke that much, but if I went to Colorado I'd still at least buy some legal weed in order to be able to be a part of that experience.  So if I go to DC I'd like to understand if there are people using the new law there.

Yea, that's kind of the point and exactly what I would expect to find in a place where you are allowed to share but not sell marijuana.  It almost has to be different there than places where it is completely illegal.  For example I can see groups of people fairly openly getting together in order to share and smoke.  With less to fear there may well be places to make new friends and share a toke.

This is a research chemical for scientific use only, this kratom is for aroma therapy, and I'm freely giving you this bag of marijuana, understand.  Then you just swallow the chemical, ignore the "not for human consumption" label, and roll one up.  At least this is how things work in my world.

Hell even my dehydrated piss is for fetish use.  So if anybody asks, I like to pour piss on myself and beat off.  I would never use that piss for anything dishonest like for drug testing, I swear.

I guess I'm just so used to being in legally grey areas and manipulating loopholes that it seems normal to me.

Or have DC drug users suddenly started following the laws and being good citizens?  After decades of being a completely black market thing I find it hard to believe that no grey market would exist in DC.  So if a grey market does exist, how does it work?

Edit:  I mean, if you can just order an escort that later freely decides to put out, I find it hard to believe that you can't find people freely giving away marijuana to anyone who shops at their friend's over priced business and things like that.

I really like the idea of sharing with random strangers. A stranger offered me an ounce of weed the other day but I declined because I don't need it. Instead they gave me a neat pouch. I didn't have anything to give them.

the shroomery isnt a source for drugs, bro. asking for hookups here is against the rules.

you should be more subtle next time you're looking to score.

I not actually looking to score.  I have plenty of bud. I can get high on 7 different things right now.

I really do just like to imagine people pushing the boundaries of what the overlords allow.

You know what.  You guys really are missing the point.  I already have weed and plenty of other stuff that I can take on my trip.  I really do just want to understand how things are evolving because I love it when the good guys and freedom fighters gain a little ground.

If it was simple and easy I probably would try to score some.  Not because I need it but because it gives the people that are pushing the limits more money.  Hell I'd probably be like, "Here, have some money, keep the weed, keep up the good fight sir!"

I reality it is probably not worth even trying to spend my money on the DC black or grey market.  My risk is too great just to be able to say that I did it.  Even so I still like to know that I understand the markets.  Just like I like reading about hiring escorts and stuff, but really would never get one because it's actually pretty dirty business that I don't want to be involved in.  Just like I know a good bit about the darknet markets, but never really needed to use them.  It just makes me happy anytime someone does something they aren't allowed to do so I like to understand how these things work.

Anyway, if no one has anything to actually say about grey markets in DC then I'm done.  Carry on.

Ya all he's asking is how to get some in dc who cares if he says donate vs sell. In collectives in California and other med states they still call it donations vs selling people an 8th or quarter or whatever. If I was you I'd check craigslist Idk about DC but CO has a lot of people on craigslist. Some try to sound legal by saying donate x amount of money for 1 gram but some don't even care and just openly advertise pounds for sellhaha

I saw a CR listing here in Oregon for dvds for sale that came with a free joint per purchase of you are over 21. They were only 5$ too so if they were dank joints that seems like a nice deal. But a movie and your movie enhancer all in one :wink:

They had a seed give away a few months ago. You just show up and they were giving out seeds. Apparently the lines were ridiculous, though.

See that's what I'm talking about.  I feel free when I know that I can do something.  It doesn't always means that I have to do it.  For example I've had multiple accounts on darknet markets but never actually ordered anything because there was nothing I really wanted or was that different from what I could already get.  I've found sources for every different kind of RC you can imagine, but then realized that I just don't need so many and so much of not well understood things.

Basically in this land of oppression I feel free by knowing that I can still do whatever the hell I want.  That doesn't mean I always do everything that I know how to do.

So naturally if I'm going to be in DC I want to know how that game works.  Not to necessarily use that information, but to feel freer by knowing that I could if I wanted to.

See, this kind of thing makes me happy.  Let them write down whatever shit they want and call it the law.  People keep right on finding ways to live the lives they want.  And while it might be a little more underground I wouldn't be suprised if stuff like this was going on in places where you can give but not sell marijuana.

I have a bunch of bag seeds, but nothing known to be of high quality.  Though in typical fashion I once spent a slow day at work reading all about the best places to order from and how they usually slip right through customs.  Maybe someday I'll have the space and time, but given that it's fairly easy to buy bud, the time and risk of growing doesn't seem worth it.

So I suppose I could grow if I wanted to, but I don't feel the need.  Just like I keep a collection of spore prints, but am too lazy to use them given some other things that are available these days.  But let them ban everything.  I'll still be tripping and smoking, and I'll even have a big ornamental garden with poppies in it.

Yep, freedom isn't about what you actually do, it's about what you could do if you wanted to.
