COLUMBIA, 9/29/10 (Beat Byte) --
Nationwide survey results on a new website find that
Cannabis in Columbia is over-priced relative to other
parts of the country.
Columbia's nearly $480/ounce for "high
quality" hemp compares with $160/ounce in Portland, Oregon and roughly $300 in
Denver.
Calling itself a "Global Price Index for
Marijuana," PriceofWeed.com has collected nearly 3,000 anonymous
surveys from every U.S. state and Canadian province.
The site asks smokers and dealers to price low, medium, or
high quality pot in increments of an eighth, a quarter, and one ounce in their
regions. Reviewers also rate social acceptance and law
enforcement. Socially, Missouri approaches
"Very Intolerant." Legally, reviewers call the state's anti-weed laws "Heavily Enforced."
In related
news, Columbia attorney Dan Viets appeared on a panel this month
with fellow defense lawyers at the 2010 National Organization for the Reform
of Marijuana Laws (NORML) conference in Portland.
Entitled, "Legal Defenses and Strategies for Cannabis
Consumers," the panel had a message for the mellow: "Shut the fuck up" when cops come calling, Seattle defense
attorney Douglas Hiatt reportedly insisted.
