It doesn't matter where you are, really ... NYC is the only spot on the East Coast that can reliably support the demand, so it's just a question of whether or not your network reaches back there. My guess is that good pills will show up in time for Valentine's Day, but probably not sooner, and once those stashes are gone there will be another minor drought until at least April (spring break season).
The month after NYE is always kind of a shitshow because smart dealers with good shit are just sitting on it, and low-level hustlers working the grind are forced to get batches of pipes to keep their cash flow up. Valentine's Day is obviously a HUGE opportunity for anyone trying to sell rolls at parties ('cause everyone and their brother wants to roll with their girlfriends for V-Day) so the dealers who have good quality connects can just come in and clean up if they know what they're doing and they're prepared for it (meaning, they didn't blow their leftover-from-NYE stash of clean pills on the E-tards who would just as willingly buy pipes from Sketchball McShadypants at some shitty club).
Nobody's putting out new batches right now. The guys at the top of the ladder who are pressing pills have no incentive to stick their neck out and release product before springtime (read: festival season), so the guys in the middle who know the score are sitting on their shit and waiting for opportunities like V-Day, and the guys at the bottom are forced to scrounge for scraps.
Basically, right now we're as far away from the height of festival season as you can get, and the only big market opportunity between now and springtime isn't for a few weeks. That's why shit's so weak at the moment.
That's what it looks like to me, anyway. I'm not in the industry or anything, but when you pay a bit of attention, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the trajectory this kind of thing takes. I've gone to sick Valentine's Day parties for the last 3 years and they've always been saturated with good shit. The month and a half before and after V-Day? Nothing.
