It’s a particularly exploitable arbitrage because 1) they are pretty expensive, 2) people on Medicaid and other assistance programs can get them virtually for free, and 3) these same people are most likely to find themselves in financially desperate situations that cause them to feel forced to do things like illegally selling their prescription medical supplies for pennies on the dollar.

Your post offers almost no specifics actually. If I had a week in Baltimore in May 2023, I'd go see the Orioles play at Camden Yards (assuming they're in town and assuming you like baseball), I'd go to AVAM, the BMA and the Walters (assuming you're at all interested in art), I'd walk around the zoo, aquarium and/or Ft. McHenry (assuming you're ambulatory* and interested in animals or history), I'd go bet on some horse racing at Pimlico (assuming you're in any way interested in a sport that rightly turns huge numbers of people off and watching it at a track that's needed a renvo. since the '80s [btw, if it's Preakness weekend, go to the Black Eyed Susan on Friday, not the actual Preakness]), I'd go see an indie flick at the Charles or the Parkway or the Senator or one of the other theaters around town (assuming you like movies), I'd go see a band at the Ottobar or the Metro Gallery or somewhere like that (assuming you like music [see: https://baltshowplace.tumblr.com/]) and then, I don't know, shopping and food in Fells Point, Fed Hill, Canton, Hampden, Mt. Vernon, I don't go out enough to care anymore and there's a post every other day about not-to-miss restaurants, etc. For me, not to miss would be La Cuchara, the Charleston and the Helmand.**

*No, you don't have to actually be ambulatory to go to these places.

**Cue someone telling me why one of these three places fucking suck now.

I get it - probably a really common question (and after my deep dive I did see people asking about what to do). Figured my questions were just a little bit more specific than what people usually ask. Was hoping someone would also maybe have info about things happening specifically in May and for my age group. Thanks for taking the time to comment and help though!
