Depends on quantity purchased here in southern california.
I can get an ounce (28 grams) for $275-325 depending on time of year and supply etc. This is for the medical grade chronic.
a quarter (7 grams) is usually $100-125
an eigth (3.5 grams) is usually $60
grams range from $15-20
Prices seemed to go up after medical marijuana got bigger here. It is coming down again though.
I have been smoking since I was 18 or 19 (26 now) pretty much straight through although there were 2 seperate 6 month periods were I had to quit for getting trouble with the law. I now have a medical permit to smoke. I have held the same job for 10 years now and will buy the business I work at (a restaurant). I started paying bills at home the mopnth I got a job and have always pulled wieght were ever i live.
I smoke a gram a day ( I used to buy a half ounce every two weeks) so an ounce a month or $300 a month, or $3,600 a year. I now grow my own at a initial investment of $500 for equiptement, and about $15-30 a month more in electricity. I have been smoking a gram a day for atleast 5 years, and have not had to increase the amount I smoke at all. I still get the same high I used to. When ever I go to the doctor they always say I am fit as a horse. I do not get sick often (maybe twice a year if that) In ten years of work I have only called in sick 3 times and 1 was a lie. I am open to answer any other questions you guys may have.
And to those who feel it and alcohol and tobacco should be banned how do you feel about all the other drugs people take all the time. Caffine? Pain Relievers? Anti deppressants? And any thought of freedom of choice, I mean comeon now are we all going to make sex illegal unless married too? I mean it would help with healthcare costs and unwanted babies and stds so why not just take all that choice away. How about the governemnt should decide what we eat so we do not get obese (the most expensive cost to healthcare isn't it?). I mean why should we decide what we do to our bodies?
