$480/oz? - MUST BE GOOD S*IT - to quote George Carlin (that works out to like 25.00 a joint). It is pretty funny and ironic; if the stuff was legal, it'd probably cost more since it would need to be 'approved' on even more levels. Glad I gave it years ago - it would be an EXPENSIIVE legal habit...
$480/oz?
Wow, looks like pot would have been a better investment opportunity than the stock market, gold and platinum all combined. I remember $10.00 lids. Of course, that was Mexican 'dirt weed' and waaaay back in the late 60's. Also glad I gave it up........30 years ago.
re: "$480/oz. = $25/joint." You must've rolled real big ones back in the day! $25 worth would = 1.5 grams and the joint would be bigger than my middle finger. The expensive new stuff is lighter and fluffier, so one would get more joints per ounce than with the old Mexican stuff. Plus, there's no seeds and very little stems to throw away. Nowadays a third or a fourth of a gram is enough to make a joint. So $480/oz. works out to about $5 per joint.
$480 is cheap for good stuff. $100.00 for an eight of an oz is the going rate for "good stuff" in LA. So I'm told.
