$1400-$1500 are for the commercial strains and M39 is what everyone grows. Depending who you get it from and who they get it from, it could be shwagg or if grown properly (again depending who your dealer get it from), have lots of bag appeal, very strong smell even when it's in the bag and with lots of crystal and the smoke is nothing to complain about. The problem is the market is saturated with this strain and majority of them are chemmed up, unflushed, chopped too early and speed dry, resulting in a shit smoke and a bad rep for the strain.
Our group only smoke the commercial shit and we're getting really sick of it. So I was inquiring about some other brands and I heard from a friend that Afghani goes for about $2400, what a big difference in price to the commercial strain and Afghani is considered to be the low-tier of the skunk family. If Afghani can fetch that price, I wonder how much the AK47 or some of the more exotic strain goes for?
