I have been in the trade I know how it works. You say that it aren't small growers who supply, but that isn't true it is almost impossible to make large spaces invisible for infrared-camara's police helicopters are equiped with, and growing takes a lot of power to begin with they can pinpoint you with that if you are a floor lower, leeching power won't help you from getting detected. It isn't all that easy to grow larger quantities. Popular coffeeshops by the way, especially those where a lot of tourists come don't risk being supplied in the open as there are always undercover police watching those, getting caught means having the establishment closed. That is not to say it isn't in the hands of organised crime mind you, they supply the equipment if you offer them the right amount of space.
