LoL, have you honestly been to either?

Nothing like a "first timer" judging the product by her own stupidity!
I think it is strange they do not sell the product in one-serving pieces, but have 16 servings in one piece, and not even mention it.

Except the guy who sold it to her is saying that he *did* tell her...and she has not responded to his comments (as of last night).

I certainly agree with that. I am an adamant proponent of complete and accurate food labeling in general.

You're right that today's pot is much stronger than it was in the days of $10 lids. When the legal shops here in Washington finally open, I will be asking those young whippersnappers at the counter for the lowest THC content they have. I'm too old to be proud, I'll be thrilled to buy it legally.

Marijuana strains can be and are rated for their THC content. I would be just fine with requiring labels, and maybe even regulating low and high content strains differently, exactly as is done with alcohol.

(I'm showing my age - a lid was an ounce of marijuana in a baggie, primarily leaf. And yes, the going price was $10 - $20.)
I'm also showing my age-it was "nickle" or "dime" bags back in the day ($5 or $10 at one point...prior to inflation). I have no idea what it goes for these days, but with legalization I imagine it's come down a lot. Might have to make a trip into Spokane before my next camping trip Around a campfire in the woods is the perfect place to get lit.

I don't know if the candy wrapper was labelled or not but if you are going to take a mind altering substance then you should probably do a little bit of research beforehand. Especially if you are a reporter and are taking the mind altering substance so that you can write a story about it. People need to take some personal responsibility. The information is out there and has been for a very long time.

I don't see that too often... Usually I can get an eighth for $25 and a quarter for $50, which is usually the maximum I'll get at one time. Yeah, it isn't necessarily the medical grade stuff, but it works. Not to mention if I mix it with what's left in the jar, you never know what type of hum you might get.

Campfires and dope are made for each other, just like dogs and beaches!

I think you are right.. she hyperboled the whole situation just making it more intense than it really was..
