I have not purchased any pot. But refer to other threads for a thorough debunking of that non-causal, non-control matched “study”.

[steve86]

That’s roughly the wholesale price. An ounce at a legal retailer is offered for over $500. Blue light special.

Way back in 1970 my number was 31 and I ended up in Korea. Back then I was a dumb kid got high all the time; haven't smoked a joint in 35 years. Anyway, back then lots of GIs packed speakers with pot for their whole baggage stateside. Paid the E-5 on duty fifty bucks to make sure the Koreans didn't get too serious, after govt seal; I never heard of anybody getting busted. I had a Taiwanese XO that had us all buying gold allotments for 26 bucks/oz for his whole baggage; smart XO.

So anyway, we'd run up the highway towards DMZ and hike into rural villages, buy pot. It was like gold Mex. The Koreans dumped the reefer into rice paddies for fertilizer, sold the stalks. They'd have big piles of it in hooch area garden, and sold as much as we could get in duffel bag for 10 bucks; usually 80 lbs or more. Then we'd hike a couple miles out to taxi cab and head back south. Once we went through ROK checkpoint and ROK officer wanted the trunk opened. Our taxi driver argued with him then got back inside wanting like 30 bucks to pay the ROK off; best 30 bucks I ever spent, ha ha. The whole time, we had Koreans with m-16s pointing at us inside cab, ha ha. When we'd get back to base, we'd make false wrecker call and hide duffel bags under chains head in through CPO gate. Crazy crap ya did when young. Figured you all would get a laugh.

I voted against pot referendum in Alaska 2 weeks back;can't figure how it passed.

Its the kind of junk science that would be rejected out of hand here if it were about tobacco or alcohol. But such is the mindset of the Nanny Staters.

[Wolfie]

What, no “highest bidder” jokes yet?

[Smokin' Joe]

Talk about things coming full circle...

When I was a kid, we hauled our tobacco crop to Upper Marlboro (MD) where it was auctioned...

Now tobacco is almost illegal, and pot is being legalized, and pot is being auctioned...

Well played, sir.

“heck I want to start a weed business”

I used to grow as good as I could buy here in Kentucky back in the 70’s. Once dope is legal here I might see if I still have my green thumb. Only problem is I will probably get into much deeper legal trouble by stiffing the state out of it's tax revenue than I would have selling illegal drugs.
