In the earliest days of legalized pot here in Illinois, it was common to see stuff at $70-75 for an eighth.
$560-600 an ounce. It's still not cheap now, but much better than it was. ($90-100 per quarter)
So, it could just be an ounce or ounce & a half per week.
Yeah, one could smoke that much.
Now, if it's under $200/ounce, that's a lot of pot in a week for one person.
