Growing out of the ground argument is a little goofy.Truffles grow in the ground and they cost more then weed and don't get you high.It is about demand and what someone is willing to pay for it on the black market.Since you can not grow huge fields of it like corn or cotton it cost more due to the supply not being high especially for the good stuff.Of course pot heads are going to complain about the price we are the ones buying it.Im sure crack heads wish they got more bang for their buck too.

it just seems that you are unwilling to concede that it is all about supply and demand.

let me ask you something!

is everyone able to grow top shelf smoke outside?

are you saying it doesnt cost anything or nearly nothing to grow outside?

all rhetorical of course . . .

sounds like you have issues.

weed is a want

food isnt a want but a need to survive . . .

so STFU if you are going to start in with your piss poor arguments and name calling

are you so stupid you dont know how to use any other words? or is your vernacular so small?

I apologize if that's what 'pothead' brings to mind. Let me stress that I didn't mean any pejorative in the term itself. to me, a pothead is just an enthusiastic user of pot, like a Dead-head or, say, the bubbleheads. ()

But where did I say I was a firm believer in the pharmaceutical industry? I said that pharmaceuticals are useful. Yes, long-term use of complicated chemicals can cause problems. Using speed on an ongoing basis can seriously fuck you up. Same with antidepressants.

But if you happen to be lying in a hospital bed with your heart stopped? At that moment, meth is just about the healthiest thing you could possibly take. There is no strain of pot which is useful for that, but there is a pharmaceutical which is. This is all I'm saying.

What I'm not saying is that i'm a "firm believer in the pharmaceutical industry" (whatever THAT means.)

Alright I'll tell ya the prices for where I live.

35 bucks for an eighth of dank
25 for an eighth of mids
Ounce of mids around 140-160 for dank bud 160-200
5 bucks a joint
Bowl pack 2-5 bucks
15 bucks a blunt 25 for a FAT blunt

yeah it's pretty expensive

It used to go around for like 40 a lid

If I misread, I'm big enough to apologize. I'm often misread myself.
My frustrations with the pharmaceutical industry are warranted. I just see more harm than good.....and honestly, I just don't like the term "pothead" used while discussing it as a valuable medicine. If I was a bit aggressive with you...I am sorry.
My frustrations stem from actually having used in the past/currently these "wonder" drugs (as they are openly marketed to be)
I think it's a shame that I have a child who is being brought up in a society that will teach him that something as natural as MJ is an evil "drug." And, at the same time, they will teach society in general that these chemicals are science at its best---all while sending the message that the "pothead" is a "druggie"....while the actual drug addict is your common, sensible, legal....basically "the norm"...what is acceptable.
Kids today are making drugs I've never even heard of....from household chemicals to mixing what's in their parents medicine cabinet.
When I was in high school, the commonly used "drug" was MJ. The rich kids randomly bought coke on the weekends..most drank alcohol at one time or another.
I never got into the coke scene in HS...to me, that was the drug not needed to be explored...."that" was the "harsh stuff" in my high school days. Note that wasn't so long ago either.
We now see that the pharmaceutical industry has acknowledged the medicinal benefits.....but ONLY when adding their "patented" CHEMICALS. It matters not that in actual studies, the participants report the natural form to be most beneficial. They have NO right to label it a level one drug!!! And they have no right to place their patent upon MJ. That is just RIDICULOUS...and they KNOW it too. But, they will just keep on doing so, because to admit openly that it just is what it needs to be in its natural form.....LOSES them TRILLIONS in the long run.
Can you even imagine how many anti-depressants, painkillers, uppers, downers, anti-inflammatory, ETC. would diminish in value?....and therefore be taken off the market?
It will always be about the almighty buck .....not about what is good for you or your health.
The FDA is a JOKE. I know this from personal experience.
A couple of years ago, I was prescribed a commonly prescribed antibiotic. It left me partially paralyzed. After only having taken 3 doses, I knew it just had to be that medicine....this was by no means the norm for me.
I later googled the side-effects and learned that THOUSANDS across this country had a negative effects like mine..and worse.
I went to great lengths to report this to the FDA. I contacted them via the phone. I was told repeatedly I would be receiving a form to fill out and send back to them. I never received a thing. To the FDA, "thousands" are just insignificant.
Do I trust the industry that is supposed to be looking out for me? I will not put an ounce of faith into them.
