Now, again I ask.... How can anyone bitch about the prices of something that is obtained via the black market, something that really does have a supply & demand issue, when we're being ripped off left and right by the so-called "legitimate" businesses?!
Exactly. Chase bought my student loan and my bank. They convieniently misplaced the electronic sig for the consolidation to 4.25% and have it at like 8%...like I would have bothered to consolidate them without locking in the rate! F'n thieves! I have never heard a good thing about b of a...why i went wamu...cant wait to move my account I am not a fan of chase.
i thought this was about weed prices?
And your contribution is....
The era of the Wild West had less murders, rapes, etc., than there are now, per capita. Gee, maybe because more people were actually afraid of the consequences of their actions? There's something to be said for vigilantism; in my book much better things to be said than how it is now.
The crazy isn't coming out. It's common sense, stemming from being aware how things are not working as they're set up now. 
Thanks. unfortunately other intelligent people in this country who are "comfortable" do not want to see through the haze. After all who would WANT to believe that things are not as the seem, and the system which we were all led to believe was just the way thing are...is just another system. Like all others, there is good and bad...and ours is broken.
The whole idea of a system which is set up to only run when people continuously borrow, spend and consume. If you step outside and look in, it is easy to see that it is silly. The whole thing is like a game of jenga, and too many pieces have been removed.
We are so used to a disposable lifestyle, and we seek out the best deal...why not we are throwing it away anyhow. We buy clothing of shitty cotton/poly that if it does not fall apart, has hole eaten by moths. Well made clothing made of durable materials is what people used to buy. And the prices were accordingly..this is were hand-me-downs came from...you can not hand down wal-mart sweatshop clothes except for infants, the rest falls apart...by design.
How did people who made clothing survive before?
Now we have no idea how to survive. We hunt and forage at the supermarket, garden at the salad bar, and replace rather than repair everything from socks to automobiles. We make fire with the turn of a knob and fetch water the same way. When the power goes out, winter or summer people in the cities die. Our Grandparents and great-grandparents (for the yunguns) turned their backs on a millennium of knowledge of living, for TV's and TV dinners. they traded gardens of food for neurotically manicured bluegrass and the left over chemical weapons to keep them green and monocultured.
This is all considered progress, to avoid getting dirt under our manicures. now instead of all that work at home we work somewhere else and rely on poorly paid 25 year old teachers to raise our kids. But if things are and have been going well for some people it is easy for them to take for granted that luck has been in their favor to this point...this allows them to say things like "People are poor because they are stupid or lazy" It could be that screwing people and stealing from them is difficult to do and still look in the mirror...this does not bother others and they just buckle down and except the system of competition and scarcity, after all that is how it has always been...how myopic we humans are.
What does this have to do with the topic? If one considers the time and daily attention that indoor growers put into their ladies...not unlike good well made furniture or clothing...you know, the good stuff, $10 a gram is very honest IMO.
Now it what you want is not something that is basically hand made, and would prefer the commercially grown future bud that may or may not be so cheap...you have got to remember you get what you pay for.
Some people like Really cheap beer and do not understand why others will gladly pay 3 times the price for beer that they think tastes bad.
Cannabis is grown commercially and legally in Saskatchewan, look at the price of hemp seed and hemp seed oil.
I got an e-mail from an OC delivery clinic that all 1/8ths were $40....but you had to buy 2!...the blowout sale was $320/oz!
i do not buy weed... the electric company is my dealer...and they charge MORE when I use more.
(No, I'm not saying that medical use is "better" or anything like that; just saying that getting high is an extra and a luxury if one isn't using it to treat medical conditions, just like any pharmaceutical drug or alcohol.) I'm more concerned with the cost of living! And I'm referring to simply keeping a roof over my head, no extras! I absolutely need the pot for severe, widespread chronic pain, so it's extremely important that I have it. Yet I can recitify that expense easily by growing, which I'm now doing. I can't rectify the insane prices to survive, without becoming a Shopping Cart Lady! I mean, how do I grow a house?!
I'm fine with it now; it's clean soil, and my hands are quite washable. They're not manicured aside from keeping them filed so I don't cut myself or someone else (I keep the nails on my left hand a bit long for playing guitar, else they'd all be short and no need for filing), but I was raised by nurses and am really OCD about my hands being dirty. 
I couldn't find one thing you said with which I'd not agree emphatically!
