Wanna know how i know inflation, cost of living increases, supply chain bottle necks and price increases are all a bunch of fuckin bullshit? Im still paying the same price for an 8th or Oz of weed as I was paying 15-20 years ago in highschool. The last samurai of the lost world of privately owned businesses before corpo whores ruined the world is you friendly neighborhood drug dealers. Lol
Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs
Edit. Nvm read quovadishomines post
I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.
If you want to learn micro or need a refresher here's a link to MIT's intro micro which is excellent:

Do you live somewhere where it's still illegal or something? Because I used to pay like $40-60 for an eighth depending on how good it was before legalization and now I can pay like $6 for an eighth of mids or $15-20 for some good shit.
No I im in a place where it is legal. I paid $45-60 for high grade in the 1990s in NJ and that’s the same price it is now. The higher grade stuff just got consistently better.
Crazy how the prices are so varied. Just as good as today in 1985 was $25 an eighth if you knew where to look on the west coast. There already were hybrid and medical experimental strains out for sale.
Fast forward to today and you can settle in on top shelf for anywhere from $5 to $20 an eighth. Anymore than that is crazy expensive.
But of course things that are easy to grow and were illegal before can't really be compared to other products can they?
