i really need to go to Canada.

Man, I really should rent out my trunk when I go to Japan.

And that's the retail price. It's even cheaper than that on average in BC once you consider all the guys with a couple plants in their closet. When I was looking for a house it seemed like every eighth place had a plant or two under the lights.

See, in the UK, where it was basically decriminalised, the price fell. Duh.

And that doesn't even include the cost of jail time and legal fees if you get caught with it (cost a friend of a friend well over 3 million yen when they were picked up with a joint's worth).

Well, there's an argument against Purchasing Power Parity if ever I saw one.

The price in the UK has increased over the past two years by a quarter to a third. The police have been raiding hundreds of growing operations, which has reulted in a reluctance for the less criminally minded to grow. The result has been more involvement of organised crime, who are controlling the market where it previously was a lot more free. Competition has been replaced by monopoly.

It is more like $15 a gram here now for the punter. $10 a gram for the dealer. Or so I have heard.

I wouldn't know, either, asok.
