You heard wrong. majority of great strains people have to get via seeds and international mail I literally drive 6 blocks to get at the local club. I remember i was going to drop 60$ on some sweet tooth seeds from attitude, luckily i held off because the same strain was available via clone for $12 a pop. You have to remember, Oakland was the city that pioneered the medical marijuana movement. It wasn't until later that greed and envy set in and all the others states followed suit.
