Oh yikes, I used to live in south Charlotte near Pineville, hope they’re doing ok.

Pineville isn’t too bad, but Matthews and Indian Trail got quite a bit. This page has a rainfall map near the bottom, I think that’s missing today but there has been little rain today that I’ve seen:

Very nice of you to accommodate, but OTOH it’s a time for them to adapt for a few days and do what it takes.

“Girls, it’s time. Look, rations are low. Either we kill Becky here and survive, or we … we eat bacon.”

“I have one question for you all in this trying time: crispy or chewy?”

So this is the part where someone reminds our Federal government that any sicknesses, death, damage and associated “bad” things that are currently happen can still be attributed to the hurricane even though the wind has stopped?

At least the Iowa hog farmers that were screwed over by the China trade war now have a customer for their products.

3695

Speaking of hogs, @ArmandoPenblade, now is the time to get cheap pork. It seems they rushed a lot to market prior to the storm. I was picking up buy one get one free pork tenderloin last night.

I was just in Hong Kong a week and a half ago. I’m glad we didn’t plan our trip a week later than we did.

Perhaps these fights can be settled when they realize they can just visit a number of fine states and have it on the cheap, no criminal charges required.

The article says “huge bundles”. Weed costs around $200/oz in Oregon.

Lets say a “huge bundle” is 20 pounds. That’s sixty-four thousand dollars.

No it’s not.

Retail pot prices can be as low as $2 for a single gram, or even less if a customer is buying a larger amount – for example, an ounce, or 28 grams, for $50, or $1.78 a gram.

That was February. I’ll give you a hint, the prices are not going up.

And that’s assuming you don’t know one of the gazillion people growing it who just offer it at every gathering they go to.

3701

Weird, I used this site:

http://www.priceofweed.com/prices/United-States/Oregon.html

Anyway, if it is $50/ounce, that’s sixteen thousand dollars. So my point still stands.

3702

Except you missed the part where it’s basically being given away, if you know anyone. And you can grow it. You don’t even buy it. Fighting over something that cheap is stupid and you WAAAAAY off price. It’s even cheaper now. None of this takes into account quantity too.

Your point is inaccurate and you could say the same thing if a crate of wine showed up, depending on the wine.

3703

So you’re saying that growing weed is so widespread that people just give it away, and that applies to everybody. In that case all the dispensaries should go out of business, right? Because the product has zero value.

3704

No that’s what you’re saying. It’s growing everywhere. It is given away, but no, go ahead and continue to believe it’s perfectly logical for someone to fight over and get criminal records for something that has become cheaper than Girl Scout cookies in other states. <---- is a saying, not literal.

3705

I love a good thin mint, but I really don’t think they would sell at $800 per pound. Unless you’re going back to saying weed has no value there because everybody grows it in their back yard.

3706

Take all you can carry. Just don’t get caught.

3707

Look, all I’m saying is if anyone she knows rats on her, they’re off the Christmas cookie list.
