    I smoke a half zip every 4-5 days. A pound wouldn’t last too long in my hands. I don’t think people really realize how much weight a pound truly isn’t.

  27. alaplex100 on June 2, 2021 at 8:15 pm

    Typical LA reporting. . Go after small time crime but afraid to go after corporate crime such as pharmaceutical companies, health insurance companies, etc. .How about going after the city, county and state for charging 34.5% tax at legal dispensaries. . Their afraid of them.



  28. MMA Fanatic on June 2, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    Fox 11 is some bitches lmao. Fucking haters.



  29. Joe K. on June 2, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    “I can’t believe they’d do this” lmao we’re talking about an industry with very high barriers to entry which has a demand that is infinitely higher than capacity. This type of black market is MUCH preferable to the one where strangers go to into other strangers homes to buy product.



  30. Mike J on June 2, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    All the cap shops got great deals



  31. Upwork Hiring on June 2, 2021 at 8:18 pm

  33. Dane Endly on June 2, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    Fox look pretty pathetic harassing a small pot business. There’s a lot more problems that our society needs to be looked into then some people selling some plant. It’s just a plant people… call it a drug but it’s one of the most mild and safe drugs natural drugs the Earth has to offer grow the f****** up



  34. Junior Stone on June 2, 2021 at 8:20 pm
