$30 a gram?!? I was paying $35 for 1/8ths of top shelf stuff in the rural western US in 2007. Then again, the rural west is where all the good stuff was grown pre-legalization.

The struggle was real, and there was a lot of variance in prices back then. $30 was in Denton, Texas where they knew they had a captive audience. It was cheaper in Dallas, and much cheaper in Austin.

As they say in real estate, “location, location, location!”

For what it’s worth, I didn’t pay that price very often—I’m no rube, lol.
