It's way more expensive than inflation allows for. It's gone up something like 1500% over the last 30 years.
Then bust the operations that cross state lines.

Yes it is, and 30 years ago, the real potent homegrown was about $20/oz. It's funny because the less potent import stuff was more money.
You are out of the loop then.
I can buy schwag for the same price I did or cheaper than a decade ago and dank goes for about the same as well. I would gouge you on prices too tbh.
It's almost as if something has artificially driven up the cost of marijuana over the past 30 years.
Will be cross-posted in the OWS thread because, this guy hits both subjects in one succinct video.
Greg, put down the pipe and go see a doctor about that cough.
People can grow their own pot. They generally have a tougher time with pharmaceuticals.
It's overbearing. The feds don't want to give ground on the "War on Drugs" even though they've never gained any.
What about spoof and groze? How much are you paying for schmack and stack?
You hard core druggie you.
Lamar Smith has got to go.....away....far, far away
HuffThe House Judiciary Committee passed a bill yesterday that would make it a federal crime for U.S. residents to discuss or plan activities on foreign soil that, if carried out in the U.S., would violate the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) -- even if the planned activities are legal in the countries where they're carried out. The new law, sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) allows prosecutors to bring conspiracy charges against anyone who discusses, plans or advises someone else to engage in any activity that violates the CSA, the massive federal law that prohibits drugs like marijuana and strictly regulates prescription medication.
"Under this bill, if a young couple plans a wedding in Amsterdam, and as part of the wedding, they plan to buy the bridal party some marijuana, they would be subject to prosecution," said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for reforming the country's drug laws. "The strange thing is that the purchase of and smoking the marijuana while you're there wouldn't be illegal. But this law would make planning the wedding from the U.S. a federal crime."
The law could also potentially affect academics and medical professionals. For example, a U.S. doctor who works with overseas doctors or government officials on needle exchange programs could be subject to criminal prosecution. A U.S. resident who advises someone in another country on how to grow marijuana or how to run a medical marijuana dispensary would also be in violation of the new law, even if medical marijuana is legal in the country where the recipient of the advice resides. If interpreted broadly enough, a prosecutor could possibly even charge doctors, academics and policymakers from contributing their expertise to additional experiments like the drug decriminalization project Portugal, which has successfully reduced drug crime, addiction and overdose deaths.
The Controlled Substances Act also regulates the distribution of prescription drugs, so something as simple as emailing a friend vacationing in Tijuana some suggestions on where to buy prescription medication over the counter could subject a U.S. resident to criminal prosecution. "It could even be something like advising them where to buy cold medicine overseas that they'd have to show I.D. to get here in the U.S.," Piper says.
All of you next payday take 40 dollars and walk down any collage district with bars and night clubs on a Staurday night and tell me what is harder to get.......
This?

Lamar Smith is inherited Old Alamo Heights Money, white Christian wealth, the "1%" in Congress.
"Lamar Seeligson Smith (born November 19, 1947) ... Smith was born in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated from T.M.I.: The Episcopal School of Texas, Yale University and Southern Methodist University Law School. He briefly
practiced law as an attorney before entering politics"
Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011
On June 23, 2011, H.R. 2306 was introduced to Congress by Barney Frank and co-signer Ron Paul.[7] The intent of the bill was to end the Federal prohibition on Cannabis, turning over the regulation of marijuana to states (similar to alcohol). The bill was the first of its kind since prohibition began. H.R. 2306 would limit federal powers to interstate transfer; while laws for cultivation, sales, use, and taxation would be determined by each state. This bill was well received by the public, especially medical marijuana patients and activists.
Lamar Smith informed reporters that he had no intention of considering the bill or providing it with a hearing. With Smith's position as chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, he has great influence on what bills will be considered.
Smith stated that "Marijuana use and distribution is prohibited under federal law because it has a high potential for abuse and does not have an accepted medical use in the U.S., The Food and Drug Administration has not approved smoked marijuana for any condition or disease."

You can be damn sure his law isn't going after Alamo Heights CSA/mj users.
(hmm, that Jewish middle name "Seeligson" is probably from some inter-breeding with the Old Jewish Texas money, more inherited wealth, going back to 19th century)
