It's beautiful to see how the market and a reputation system can work wonders, even among strangers with anonymised identities.
The street experience equivalent is terrible. A friend of mine (who self medicated in one of the western totalitarian regimes who prohibit weed) got a bag of tea, tissues smelling like weed, he got a knife pulled on him, he got scammed in an elaborate plot which involved him keeping a bag of flour (supposedly coke) while the dealer supposedly went to get his weed for a 50, he had homeless dragging him to a gang of criminals under the pretence of buying weed. Eventually he found someone reliable, a middle aged father with a stable but low paying job and a family - but it's a miracle he's still alive.

If anything I applaud his willingness to stay on the hunt :) Presumably this was in a larger city, as most of the places I have been have had ad hoc, safe and established distribution networks that weren't too difficult to break into after some time. This is in the US though and I can't quite tell what country you're referring to (though I could see someone referring to the US tongue-in-cheek that way) I'd go even further to make a case that the market and its reputation system works similarly well for the aforementioned ground level networks, if you can find them. Read the room, be a desirable client and behave with everyone's interests in mind and you will likely never have an issue. Good business is good business regardless of whether it happens online or in person I suppose. As an aside I often wonder to what degree the prevalence of onion markets over the past decade have impacted the availability of weed within these offline distribution networks. My anecdotal experience from my legal-weed-desert neck of the US has been a slow growth of offerings and inventory stability and a 20-40% reduction in prices. No idea how much of that is due to the online markets.
