^^ This is one of the reasons against cheap ounces. Yes, it's not expensive to grow compared to the price you get even at lower levels... but you take a HUGE risk... risk of the feds busting down your doors, risk of local overzealous PD busting in and holding a gun to your head and taking your plants, or straight up getting robbed/shot like the example above. Even if none of that shit happens to you, you spend a good amount of time stressing and worrying and trying to prevent it from happening. So I'm sorry, F the people who say higher prices are rip offs. Yeah, 1 in 100 are too sick to grow their own medicine. The rest just don't plain want to. Microgrowers on this site pulling out nice yields -- if you say you can only grow a tiny amount for yourself I'm calling bullshit and saying you chose to only grow that much. If you really want to grow your own supply even in limited spaces you can make it happen. If you can't and you expect others to do it for you, don't bitch if you have to pay for it. DO bitch if the quality is shit, because there is definitely a lot of overpriced flowers out there. I think it's great when people help others with free/low cost flowers (I do my best to spread the love, give out free cuts, etc), but it's not anyone else's job to be a slave for you. I'm spending my whole weekend trimming flowers this weekend... I'm definitely not doing that to be lowballed. This risk isn't worth minimum wage. The rewards from growing for yourself or someone else truly in need are great. The reward for spending significant chunks of your life growing for others and taking risks should be financially worth it to justify everything else.
