19. Problem is the price on the street dropped drastically when Medical became legal..

The street price has been about 10 bucks a gram. The shop I went to this week was charging 110 a quarter, tax included. Also medical patients are paying less, about 60-70 a quarter..

I imagine the price will drop once more stores open. I waited in line 2 hours on day one. Yesterday was only about 15 minutes.

One big advantage to the stores is selection. No longer do you go and get whatever your "guy" has at the moment. Yesterday I checked out at least 10 different kinds of pot. Sativa, Indica, Hybrids..

I bought some stuff called Agent Orange which is a 60/40 Sativa/Indica hybrid. It's pretty damn sweet.
