Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Law Enforcement
Leesburg town police had a tougher reputation than sheriff’s deputies, who were generally seen as respectful. People complained about traffic searches over even a hint of tobacco or weed, and Plaza Street was a regular patrol area. Virginia has since changed its adult-possession rules, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Most of the scene ran through personal connections. Heritage Square came up with a warning about going alone. People buying Dutch Masters or blunt wraps at the Exxon by Walmart sometimes knew where to point you.
Marijuana Prices
- Mids: around US$10 per gram
- Kind bud: US$15–20 per gram, US$40–60 for an eighth across accounts, US$100 for a quarter and US$250–300 for an ounce
- Headies: around US$25 per gram or US$350–500 for an ounce
Types of Marijuana
Mostly dry kind bud and mids, with a good batch of headies now and then. Purple Urkle, Power Plant, Trainwreck and Sour Diesel were names in circulation, but the stock changed quickly.
More Information
People said officers checked the old Days Inn at night and preferred the newer hotel behind it. Old Waterford and Dry Mill roads came up as quieter drives, while Plaza kept getting mentioned for patrols. For flower, “chronic” was a familiar term.
