fortunately for sick folks AND stoners, Pot is Easier than ever to get

[mopaul]

and very cheap in some circles in the midwest.

on a recent trip to san francisco, i obtained medical marijuana for $85 for 1/8 of an ounce. in the midwest, it's going for $50 an ounce, and very similar in strength.

and i've heard of many cases where someone will break the law and go out and buy it the old fashioned way, from your nieghbors. it's certainly not hard to find, if you have the price.

in fact, i've never seen so much of it going around in my life, and every type and class of american is smoking it, if they admit it or not. so if a person who needs it for medicinal purposes can simply find some stoner, FUCK the big pharmaceutical companies and FUCK the supreme court.

only problem is, they can arrest you for it. even if you're a sick little old lady.

assholes.

[mopinko]

1. dude, where in the midwest?

can we talk?

[mark414]

18. milwaukee...

:hi:

talk to me...

[Beetwasher]

2. Dude, You Pay $85 for an 1/8th??????????????????

We need to talk.

[mopaul]

4. in san francisco, medical pot, in a pill jar, with a script on the side

85 bucks an 1/8th ounce, no shit. but in the midwest where i am, a quarter pound is $200, or, 50 an ounce.

[Beetwasher]

10. That SF Price if Friggin' Nuts!

Dayam! SFers are better off NOT getting the prescrip and going to your local dealer instead.

[uncle ray]

19. not really a fair comparison

to anybody who knows how the market works. there's a big difference in price when buying the QP vs. an eighth, dealers that sell QP's will not deal with the hassle/traffic of small quantities. and the SF medicinal MJ is probably either organic or hydroponic, or both, and of consistant quality, from specific genetics to target the particular patients illness, while the midwest pot may be good and potent, is it always the same? that's a risk medicinal users can't take. many other factors, like the real estate the SF buyers club has to pay for vs much lower overhead in the midwest. you're comparing buying a 55 gallon drum of oil, to a quart.

but i'm glad you got a good hookup!:smoke:

[bamacrat]

27. My sentiments exactly, never over $60.

[bamacrat]

29. My sentiments exactly, $60 for an 1/8 in T-town.

[EnfantTerrible]

3. Wow...

$50 an OUNCE??? No such luck here in NYC... compared to midwest prices you'd swear the drug companies were dealing here... a little less than a quarter ounce goes for about $100... in some circles $50 will get you about three gumball sized nuggies...

Wouldn't it be nice if it were legalized and regulated. No worries about quality or quantity?

[mopaul]

5. mind you, i haven't seen it that cheap in about 25 years

so i don't quite get it either.

[Beetwasher]

11. Dude, You've Got Bad Sources If You're Paying That in NYC

Seriously. 60$ a quarter MAX, unless it's the kind kind.

[EnfantTerrible]

36. I am particular

I must admit.... the heads I hang with are serious connoisseurs. Once you get a taste of the good bud, it's hard to go back...

Seattle and San Diego had comparable product for less $$$, but I haven't been out there for a few years.

Always on the look out for better sources here in NYC.

[htuttle]

6. Well, dude man. The Midwest is farm country

What? You think we make all our money from CHEESE? Ya, Right...

[reggaehead]

7. Much has bee made about the comparison of

medicinal marijuana and oxycontin. And how the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex would react. But I think a better comparison is Marijuana (in any form) and Viagra (or the boner supplement of your choice). I really think this is the message we should be sending back to the corporate media whores. And I think they would swallow it whole (pardon the pun).

8. My pulmonologist can't reccommend.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Damn, not so cheap in New England

25/50/80/160, for 'mersh, 50/100/150/300 for da diggity danks

[benburch]

12. You can easily grow it in a closet.

Many people do. I know some medical marijuana activists who have set up sick people or their families with small closet growing systems. Not enough to ever sell, but enough for the critical medical use they intend to address. And that's how it should be.

In Illinois there is a form of decriminalization; Less than five plants is a misdemeanor. And I think all states should at LEAST adopt that standard as a means of not jailing sick people!!!

[mopaul]

13. Hawaii is refusing to comply and will still sell it openly apparently

and several other states as well, said they'll defy the supreme court.

[ernstbass]

14. It's not that available everywhere

[ohio_liberal]

21. I hear you

I've had chronic back pain for months now and I can't find a hookup anywhere. I just don't know anyone who has it or knows where to get it. But I have people coming out of the woodwork to give me pills I'm trying to get away from in the first place.

[crispini]

22. Start hanging out in bars with musicians.

Best way to find a hookup, or so I've heard. :7

[ohio_liberal]

25. Hey!

I never thought of that. That's probably part of the problem--I'm not hanging out at the right places :D

[RobinA]

15. So Tell Me

all you currently purchasing types, is the pot today REALLY 10x stronger than in the '70's? And I'm not talking legitimately obtained medical stuff, I mean street stuff that the average user would get. I always wonder about this.

[mopaul]

24. i think so

and consistent too

[Ariana Celeste]

33. Yes, yes it is

Every strain that gets bred is bred stronger, except maybe in the case of your average teenager with a plant in their closet.

:)

[Pepperbelly]

38. I don't think it's anywhere near 10X as strong ...

No way.

That is actually, IMO, an excuse for the dirty rat bastards to crack down on pot.

[King Coal]

16. Do you think the obstacle is that it is smoked?

What if they put the dope in pill or liquid form? Wouldn't that make it easier for the naysayers to swallow? Also, it would be healthier for the people taking the dope.

[benburch]

17. Does not need to be smoked.

A vaporizer that heats the plant material to the vapor point of the active oils without burning the plant (no smoke) is the preferred method now, I understand.

[reggaehead]

20. The point is being missed

When did a pot smoker deliberately ever hurt anybody? It has never happened in the history of this UGLY world. You could substitute any slice of any cross section of society other than a pot smoker and they have done serious damage. The end result is we have a substance that is illegal. @Which, were it legal would heighten everyone's self of existence.

For instance, lets suppose if while waiting in line to a restaraunt with prohibitive seating. You were supplied a complimentary hooter for your party. You would be much more likely for dessert with an appertif dont you think?

Contrast, the irriated employee (and really this is a term that is prevalent in all aspectsd of our society) who must paste on their best revlon smile because they know someone much more evil than michael Jackson will be aiting in their bed. Not that its new. But the Perverts are RUNNING the ASSYLUM.

[SemperEadem]

23. This whole issue is about the right to medical choice to manage

one's pain. It's no one else's right to interfere or interject their biased fears into the lives of people they do not know. If you don't experience the pain, you cannot speak to how one who is in pain should manage their pain. Period.

Time for all of us to bombard our congressmen with correspondence to support legalizing medical MJ--and to remind them that less governmental interference in the private lives of citizens is just as equal to the concept of state's rights.

[HullBoss]

26. You won't pay $85 for an 1/8 in Alaska.

That's horrible. Half that much maybe.

[wuushew]

28. Why are stoners holding back international metricifation?

pot like other drugs are part of a large international market. English unit weight and volume measurements are totally ludicrous.

Do Canadians and Europeans buck their logical measurement system and also measure weed in ounces?

Metric by 1980, I don't think so!

[0rganism]

30. Qualified stoners know 1/8oz == 3.5g

It's right there in the handbook, just after the part about not smoking the seeds.

[wuushew]

31. so why not just say $24 per gram?

there is nothing progressive about non-metric units. Since the drug culture is an important part of the left, they should spearhead the United States' conversion to metric.

[0rganism]

32. because $85 for 1/8oz is way overpriced?

:shrug:

[Baclava]

35. Reality is for people who can't handle drugs.

Actually, I think the tax revenue issue is bullshit. Anyone with a back yard can grow and dry a lifetime supply. There is no need for industry.

[maveric]

34. $85.00 an 1/8?? You got ripped man! $25.00 for 1/4 in SoCal!

Pretty good green, sticky domestic. Meet me in Ocean Beach and I'll hook ya up!

[jonnyblitz]

41. no shit. that must be some kickass weed!!

25 a quarter is a good price! for regular stuff its about 50 or so a quarter in my circles...and it can go up to 100 a quarter for the furry orange crystally stuff...this is new england/ nyc general area. :shrug:

[Pepperbelly]

37. $60-80 a Z in Arkansas ...

Some of the REAL good might tip in at $55 a quarter.

QPs had all over for $200-250.

[jonnyblitz]

39. it's much more potent these days than it was when i was a teen.

or at it least it seems like it to me. either that or i get high easier as i get older...

[walldude]

40. Gotta throw my lot in with the

85 an 1/8th is way too much folks. I have a friend that grows the best shit. All Cannabis Cup winners, and he charges $100 a quarter. I travel alot and thats about the going rate in most places. Personally I can't afford the kind bud, but your average Mexican pot is going for $50 an oz in Colorado. Affordable and decent. As far as the potency being 10 times what it was in the 70's well, that remains to be seen. I agree that the pot is better these days, but it all depends on what you are comparing it to. The best pot I ever smoked was in the 80's, there was a bunch of this stuff in Florida, it was almost black in color and had these big white chunks in it. The guy who was moving it called it Polka but I called it Dandruff... It was $40 a z and I have never had any pot that even came close to it. I think it came from Columbia.
As far as the Supreme Court decision, well, it's about the stupidest thing I ever heard of. I saw the current "drug czar" on TV claiming that this decision was going to save lives. :wtf: In my 28 years as a pot smoker I can come up with one guy who died from smoking pot, and that was because some genius had the idea to spray Mexican pot fields with the pesticide Paraquat. This poor dude fired up a J after work one night and poisoned himself.. After that incident they stopped spraying fields...

42. Its a huge cash crop in Iowa.

A lot of the family farmers grow it inbetween the corn so they can stay in business. One more reason to keep the caucus there. :)
