Question: How will high gas prices affect the price of pot?

[Taverner]

I mean think about it - even if the pot is grown organically, and outdoors...transportation, fertilizers etc...

I shit thee not - I was once given the explanation that the price of 1/8 oz went from $50 to $60 overnight because of "9-11"

1. It never occurred to me to wonder.

That's one area of the economy that really doesn't affect me. :P

2. Holy crap.

The last time (admittedly a number of years ago) that *anyone* I know bought an eighth, it was $20! :crazy:

3. Inflation, my dear Lara....

Strangely, the Medical Marijuana clubs in CA and easy access did not lower the price...

4. It hasn't been THAT many years!

Although I suppose cigarettes have doubled in price since I started smoking, in '94.

5. I've wondered that, too

But then I realized that if I were buying drugs and if someone gave me that excuse for a reason why prices were so high I could ask them what the gram/gallon/mile ratio was. It's not like pot is top soil, bricks, or sandbags. It's weed. If it's any good it's light and fluffy

7. I don't know about a price correlation

However, I do know that (non-indoor hydro) supplies would tighten up around here whenever they'd jump the terror alert from yellow up to orange. (Of course, this is purely anecdotal evidence from *ahem* people.)

Apparently, a fair amount of the "normal" NYC pot comes from Canada; when the alert goes up, I guess it's harder to get drugs across the border.

8. Big busts usually raise the price more

Everyone who touches the stuff makes money on it though. I am sure that some people somewhere along the line will use every oppurtunity to have an excuse.
