Do you realize that an ounce of marijuana is worth twice as much as an ounce of gold?

No, I don't smoke or deal marijuana, but, I used to smoke it quite a bit, and someone pointed this out to me the other day, and I know for a fact they are right. Now, to me, that's something. An ounce of pot goes for any where, depending upon the quality and what part of the country you reside, between, $150.00 to $400.00. Now, tell me, what's an ounce of gold cost? It just was an interesting fact, please comment on your thoughts on the subject.

That's inflation. When I was a kid it was 10 bucks. 20 for the real good stuff. I'm glad I don't feel obligated to piss away my money on that crap anymore.

An ounce of gold traded today at $880.20 making it much more valuable than an ounce of weed.


Lebanon Don
NO. gold is about $25 a gram. marijuana is about $20, or the same. marijuana MIGHT cost you a little more per gram or ounce but NOT double


clydesdale1981
Well... the exchange rate for one troy once of Gold today is $880 US so even your best pot would only be about half as valuable.


J. D
Gold costs $880.80 an ounce. Right now.

True, but the energy and cost that goes into planting, growing, processings, and transporting it normalizes the cost relative to gold.

Kinda hard to find Gold seeds though.

Wow! maybe the government should make it legal and then put a huge sin tax on it and save our financial apocalypse! but I guess big tobacco won't sign off on it.

actually, ya got it backwards, at best. gold is $880. top quality BC hydro is around $250 locally. consider Russian and Iranian caviar = $250 ounce. or consider tickets for final four in '10 = $1200 - $2200.

everything is expensive these days, it's called inflation.

No it's not.

Come on u can't fool me, in anarchy's cookbook there is detail Information about marijuana, its definitely not worth that much.
Have u ever tried the LSD, or ecstasy, they are great.

And tobacco is rapidly catching up.

The government is going to make a wonderful black market for tobacco.

It's going to be cheaper to smoke crack or pot, soon.

The government didn't learn from prohibition of alcohol, they're creating another market for the gangsters and dealers.

But they want to tax everything that moves (and everything that doesn't) so they can give the money away to cronies and special interests and squander the rest, the way that they always do.


SlapChop Ur gonna love my nuts
I'd rather smoke pot than buy gold.

You are so far from the facts it's not funny. Gold closed today at $880.65 an ounce. It's more like an ounce of Gold is worth twice as much (Way more really) than an ounce of weed.

Sounds like you are high right now making this statement! ha ha

Why is that surprising at all? Illicit things are always more expensive than legal things, and you're comparing apples to oranges. That's like saying, "This truckload of TV's is worth the same as a barge of grapefruits". So what?

I think gold is pushing $600 an ounce.
Weed is a lot more fun to buy though :)

Actually, I think gold is somewhere between $900 and $1,000 an ounce these days. But if you're willing to make a distinction beween cost/price and value, I would point out that gold has no utility whatsoever, only a market price. You can't smoke gold nor can you eat it if you get the munchies.


DarinG
Must be why my pot dealer only accepts cash!


jaredhernandez1
Thats cuz weed is bomb as hell screw gold. And shame on you for quitting and where the hell are you buying your bud cuz its sure as hell not gonna be 400 dollars no matter how dank it is


inept
That's true, though I hadn't considered the notion.
-I too was a stoner once, sadly.

Please anyone and everyone: Don't take the mark, once it arrives.

Because it's coming, wait and see.

The Mark of the Beast is coming.

Once the one-world currency and government arrives, it won't be long.

You will have that opportunity, maybe sooner than you think.
