The 'Dirty Jerz' recently became the 14th state to create a Medical Marijuana Bill; which will enable patients suffering from various ailments to get relief from weed. An article in the New York Daily News discussed the potential detriments that legalization of Marijuana would have on pot dealers throughout New York City. With weed being made available to eligible patients for only $125 an ounce, dealers fear a drastic cut in their profits (with the street value of an ounce in New York going for $500). Something to be noted from this drastic discrepancy, in cost between the legal pot and the black market pot, is how absurdly expensive things are when they're illegal. Upon attempting to think of any other product that carries a $500 an ounce price tag, I draw a complete blank. This is emblematic of how the black market thrives, the demand (thus the cost) goes up dramatically the second the government says you're not 'allowed' to use a particular substance. Blows to think of all the money us innocent chronnoisseurs have lost over the years thanks to our government's ignorant stance on such a fantastic part of nature. But whatever, at least Snooky finally has something to take her mind off snagging the perfect guido-- what else, but The Chronic!
