maybe calif is a mainplace around western us but at 40-50 dollars an eighth
when the man finally gets his sales tax, the price will go up. (and if its really that great quality, buy the seeds as investment)
so to pay more than 40 an eighth is profiteering. so if calif is allowed to sell it
at highest prices possible and still get a demand, someday as long as we can grow it, it will cost less, so until that time these so called clubs are ripping us off cause we cant buy it anywhere else i assume. supply and demand will cause it to become cheaper. supply by self-growing.
who pays 40-50 dollars or more an eighth? before eventual taxes, only a desperate fool. and only a dealer profiteer will max the costs. you can bet they are in it for the max profit.
the eventual government taxes and the clubs make all the profits that we burn up.
so we have to grow our own no matter what the laws say.
around portland oregon chronic is about 40 per eighth. all a person needs is a 400w bulb setup and approx a 4x4 ft area for flowering (2 mo).
and perhaps a veg area for youg clones or seeds that will replace the flowering area every 2 months. I get about 6 dry oz every 2 mo this way,
the cost is not too bad to create all this and sure beats those capitalistic clubs and government. so never never stop growing your own, no matter what.
the clubs and government dont want you growing your own. Thats like growing your own tobacco and alcohol. That was kept illegal until relatively recently probably due to quality controls, but us growers are smarter than allowing that to happen in the name of profit. so i get approx 1500 dollars worth every 2 mo. for myself, from me, with little costs.(ferts, elec, misc) hydro.
also i bought a 100 dollar vaporizer. its electric and digital, up to 547 F. (365 f is perfect for vapor) works great, you get twice or three times the thc content without burning paper or green stuff. A couple good vapor hits lasts for hours and hours and seems stronger than hash. those first couple vapor hits are really heavenly and extremely tasty. I get about 2-4 super potent tasty hits per small ground bud. no balloon, just direct hits from a chamber next to elec heat source.
after the first tasty hits, you can stir the bud for another tasty treat.
PS: and my lungs are healing fast as im not burning/inhaling burnt paper/green matter.
ive entered a new healthier diminision, lung friendly. what a difference. smoking is popular
simpler but coughing says the lungs are under pressure. vapor minimizes coughing much.
UPDATE 6/10/13 vaporising still abuses lungs. try cannaoil, after decarb and you'll never smoke or vape again. although vape is an improvement, walnut cannaoil will work well.
