      Do you live somewhere where it’s still illegal or something? Because I used to pay like $40-60 for an eighth depending on how good it was before legalization and now I can pay like $6 for an eighth of mids or $15-20 for some good shit.

        No I im in a place where it is legal. I paid $45-60 for high grade in the 1990s in NJ and that’s the same price it is now. The higher grade stuff just got consistently better.

            In NJ most of it os because it is NJ which has a higher cost of living across the state (last I checked). Until federal legalization happens everything that is sold here is grown here. That keeps prices high as bonded warehousing space is pricy here.

      Not sure why they didnt fix their comment but here is the comment that was meant as a reply to your comment but was mistakenly left as a reply to my top level comment. Its originally from @bathing_in_bismuth

      YOUR COMMENT BEING REPLIED TO:

      I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.

      If you want to learn micro or need a refresher here’s a link to MIT’s intro micro which is excellent:

      @bathing_in_bismuth 's reply:

      Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs

      Edit. Nvm read quovadishomines post
