    Another downside to pot legalization is that drug dealers have now shifted to heroin as they're primary drug to push.

    That's why I think all drugs should be legalized. Drug prohibition is stupid.
    I've said that very same thing to people ... And the looks I get are like "are you nuts" ...my guess these same people opposed to legalization have vices of their own, fucking hypocrites.

    Yes totally agree ...

    (and since I was used to paying $25 for an 1/8th I wasn't interested).

    Dang, I haven't paid $50 a quarter since the 90s. There is something terribly wrong with the underground drug economy on the east coast!

    Sadly that's the going rate in Toronto too.. as high as $70 for the good stuff :(

    The hell? At my dispensary, I'm paying anywhere from $45 to $75 for an eighth.

    Yep, and it's gone up over the years. Just for curiosity sake I did the math. In 1970 you could by an ounce of weed that had a 1/3 the potency of today's stash for around $15. Which means the same amount of pot measured by potency cost $45 an ounce in 1970 or $5.62 an eighth in 1970 dollars. Multiply by the inflation factor and you get $34.80 in today's dollars. The average cost at your dispensary is $60-- almost twice the 1970 rate!

    On the other hand, in 1970 you could get a little sack of Bull Durham tobacco, rolling paper included, for ten cents-- 62 cents in today's money. I don't think you can even get cheap rolling paper for 62 cents today.

    All, of course, assuming my statistics and math are correct. :wink:

    Haha, I'm watching the RNC platform committee meeting (but should be sleeping) and some millenial members are trying to put pro-medical marijuana policy in the Republican platform. Imagine. The old fogeys are voting against all the amendments.
