it's just not at 100% markup.

i don't know if you drink, but think about it this way:

if you can get Jameson for $25 a fifth at the liquor store and a guy around your way can get you good moonshine for $20 a fifth, is it worth your time and effort to meet up with the guy, commit a crime, and have less purchasing choices?

Probably not.

But if Jameson was $100 or $200 a fifth, the $20 moonshine would be a lot more appealing.

I would go to the dispensary if it was a 10% or 20% markup, I think.

It's nice. I have multiple options. I don't have to wait around for my dude or meet him in a parking lot or his house if he's not on my side of town.

But it's not worth double.
