Can't be too careful when 'fessing up to illegal activity...

Here ~ in the US, far from BC ~ good weed is ridiculously more expensive than it was back in the good old days, but then again the product is ridiculously more potent. Allowing for inflation, it's probably just about right.

$375 a month for pot that does NOT get you high seems pretty exorbitant, and the price of Marinol is just crazy.

Two weeks ago, my wife bought an EIGHTH of an ounce for $50, and it's just about gone as of last night. That's $100/month for two people, equal to or less than regular drinkers spend on six-packs, way less than regular drinking in a bar, and certainly less than the cost of smoking cigarettes.

Of course, we're very stingy, indulging quite sparingly. If you use a "one-hitter" pipe and hold it when you inhale, almost no second-hand smoke escapes and is wasted. You're turned on for the next hour or more, with no need to burn up any more of that expensive herb. Rolling joints is too extravagant these days; you burn up twice as much product to inhale a given volume of smoke.
