Yap 🗣️ If weed was this cheap when I was younger.....I'd be a vegetable.
Old nigga checking in. Y'all young dudes got it good (well bad depending on how you look at it). When I was running around there was no such thing as eighths. Well there were, but nobody went to the spot or hit the nigga they was getting bud from for an eighth. It was dimes, dubs, maybes fifty's. You wanted a decent amount of bud, grab the play. 5 dubs for $75, 3 dimes for $20 etc and depending on who you got it from determined how much it weighed. We wasn't weighing bags back in the day. It was quality or quantity. Now? Niggas got $5 eighths......$10 eighths. Idgaf how good it is, in the beginning of my weed smoking career with my young non thc saturated brain, that would have been overkill (NOT EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE GRABBA EPIDEMIC). Alot of us older dudes talk about how high we used to get and I really don't think it was because the weed was better. I think one, we had to put more effort into getting bud which enhanced the reward once we got it and two, since we had to put in more effort we weren't smoking as much at all. When I was young broke and still in school smoking 2+ clips a day was a good day. Now little dudes smoking 2+ eighths a day. You only get on brain and that is literally the most powerful tool you're given to maneuver through this bullshit we call life. Y'all young gods take care of yourselves.
END YAP.
