More generalizations without fact. The stuff on the streets is still pretty lame. Again, it depends on what it is and where it is coming from. I can't go to the streets of Nashville and find good, green, Calif sensimilla at any cost.
And I know plenty that smoke on a DAILY basis and we run out ALL THE TIME! For a wide variety of reasons. Lately, even those with good connections are out and someone I know was headed to Ohio to get some. And of course those you know don't worry about where their next "gram" is coming from because you've admitted they don't smoke a quarter ounce (7 grams) in six months. I wouldn't worry either if a full ounce of pot (28 grams) lasted me two full years!!
Well, I'm sorry about that, really I am. But CA Cense aitn't what it used to be, either. :-)
The truth of the matter is that the people that want it can still get it at a price that isn't unreasonable.
