[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that you could practically Uber eats Marijuana in the city. Don't you order a t-shirt and get joints delivered to your front door. How much more convenient does it need to be? [/quote]

Yes, you can get Marijuana delivered in a few minutes to any DC address.

There is more going on in this story than we have been told. Baltimore drug dealer and a shooting/murder right on the seam between two jurisdictions. No video footage to be found. No shot tracker data.[/quote]

Upper NW has a prime demographic for illegal pot - affluent teens.  They aren't old enough to buy from delivery services but they have the money and demand for weed.

I grew up just a few blocks away from the site of the shooting (long before legalization) and had a few friends who were small and medium time dealers.  The medium time ones would buy a 2-3 pounds at a time, which is easily enough for someone to drive down from Baltimore to sell.  I can recall at least two instances where those dealers were robbed with a gun, so it's completely feasible to me that this was a robbery gone wrong. Perhaps a rival dealer got word of a sale and figured busting up a sale to some rich white kids in over their heads would be easy pickings.[/quote]

Supposedly a few years ago there was a group of white kids from Tenleytown (the Tenleytown Rats) who were running a big regional drug distribution network at other affluent mostly white high schools in the region.  Unsurprisingly in part they got away with it because they were white and folks weren't as suspicious.  They used to skateboard around Tenleytown.[/quote]
