In my state, weed dealers can offer a better experience than a retail shop because of too much regulation. The black market still thrives and quality/trust is not an issue. There is a balance somewhere, legalization with over regulation isn't quite the right answer.

Weed is kind of a special case because you pretty much know what you are getting just by looking at it. This is not the case for most other drugs.

Not quite. A lot of weed commercial weed is sprayed to smitherins with chemicals and actually just tastes and smokes really poorly. You cant tell that just by looking at it. Here in Canada, every single order I've gotten from government and private licensed shops has been average quality at best. Dealers have at least as good quality.
