Thanks.

Do you know what the “legal” store price is for a quarter ounce?

Believe it or not, I live just 4 blocks from a legal weed store in Seattle, and I have no idea what they charge.

Pot is about $55/gram after taxes, or $1,540/pound.

Between ICE and the US Military, we should be able to shut down the Future Democrat Voters of America in no time.

[Does so]

The US has spent billions on this war and it has not changed anything except the prison population.

Too bad. Hiring Illegals may be required as an increasing number of Americans are too stoned for serious employment. Too many combinations of illegal drugs (+ alcohol) could explain an increasing number of shootings and other "rage incidents". (Exclusive of Mohammedism).

I hope they make a nice bonfire with all of it.

min wage back in 1970 was around $1.60. That is equivalent to about $10.40 in 2018 so yeah the cost was about the same.

According to this source, high quality pot goes for $234/oz in WA.

My neighbor advises it is $10/gram. When the wind is coming from the west I can smell it, so I think he know of which he speaks.

I thought one of the arguments for legalizing dope was to help destroy one of the Mexican drug cartels source of cash.

Recreational marijuana is still illegal in 42 states and at the federal level.

Throw another key on the fire- snort.
