    I don’t know where you’re buying your stuff, but in Washington State, the stuff you can get in the store is immensely cheaper than buying it illegally ever was, and it’s much higher quality.

    Had some family come over for a visit and they were shocked that they could purchase an entire ounce of weed for $21.

      Bro I’m paying £150 (about $200) a zed, and that’s cheapish for the UK, your prices are mad; how do you guys ever get anything done?

      Yeah, I can choose from 1 local dispensary (5 min drive), about 40 rez dispensaries (7-20 min drive), or a couple old school dealers, and it’s the legal local who wins 99% of the time.
      The rez dispensaries are far, far better for edibles: no limit on thc level, so you can purchase 2000mg bars or whatever, whilst Ontario law limits the whole package to 10mg.

      So, the meme doesn’t really apply in my hood.

        FYI, the “oversight” committees in charge of regulating those numbers are notoriously corrupt and wildly inaccurate — regardless of location. Not unlike taking some rando plug’s word for it, frankly.

        Grow. Your. Own. 🤦🏼‍♂️

      Was just in Yellowstone (aka Yellow Stoner) and was amazed to see how much they charged compared to California, Washington and Colorado.

      Then I realized they cater to Wyoming and Idaho for their weed needs and it made sense from a supply/demand perspective.

        There’s certainly a booming market for gouging the whitey-come-latelies, and I’m not entirely opposed to it, but… Good to hear you’re smarter than that, frent. 😜

      Imagine their faces when they see the price on “pre-rolls”!

      Now, fast forward to the moment they catch a glimpse of the dispo clerk sweeping up and quickly dropping that all into the pre-roll prep bucket.

      Annnnd, we’re back to the lesson of “fast food” being neither, eh? 🤦🏼‍♂️
