I hate dealing with dealers but there is no other way to get weed. Shady dark corners, pushy paranoid characters, just to buy a bit of herb that grows wildly on slopes of himalaya for millenia. Once dealer tried to push cocaine to me instead of weed pretending he didn't understand, sent him away. That's the only gateway situation I can actually imagine for weed, otherwise its nonsense in same vein as alcohol is.
