“patently forgetting that the high-potency grass is probably out of the typical yute’s price range.”
I’ve been around a bit and the only time I have ever smoked the good stuff was when I was hanging with wealthy adults at some occasion or other. Always preceded by the comment, “I’ve been saving this”, just like one would a good bottle of wide or scotch.
Kids who drink Milwaukee’s Best aren’t likely to buy an $800 oz of weed. Establishing a contact for “the kind” is no easy task in itself. There simply isn’t enough to go around, hence the price.
I’ve got a couple of friends that are total weed snobs. Always fun to hang out with those guys. I’m not that picky.
