from an article i was just reading:
"It has been a particularly violent start to the new year, with 16 homicides reported since Jan. 1 — more than one every other day — according to Advocate records.
After 2020 made history as the most murderous year on record, January has already seen more homicides than during any other single month since at least 2008"

the artile was about a crime they solved. a dude who shot another guy he was meeting. they do not know why they were meeting. seems possible it was to buy/sell drugs.
again, weed buying is too fucking dangerous. my friend who smokes, he buy an ounce at a time. $300ish bucks. he trusts his dealer not to just kill him and keep the money and the weed. but you never know, its not like his dealer is made purely of honesty and would never consider punching my bud in his face and knocking his ass out cold and taking his money. they meet in the parking lot of a local drugstore in the mid-city area. the drugs come from a distribution place behind wal mart on college. dont hang out in that area, its too much money and drugs moving through there. i know you had no plans to hang out there.
what if my amigo wants to buy two ounces, enough for 6 weeks for him. then he is spending 600+. thats getting up there where a desparate dealer might get violent. because he gets the 600, and to keep the weed that was worth 600!
presumably when my friends dealer gets wholesale amounts, maybe he is selling 8 ounces one day, he is toting around $2500 bucks worth of weed, and some punk who knows his wholesaler might see him leave, and he might arrnge for one of his buds to follow him. its all terrifying.
legalize that shit!
