I live close to Mexico and schwag is easy to come by here... The main advantage is it is dirt cheap (an O run $40 - $50 bucks) and it does get you high... I would say good brick weed can get you close to as high as mids can but doesnt taste near good...

Personally, if you can afford to pay $10 - $25 (USD) bucks a gram and smoke as much as you like then go for the sensimilla stuff... Otherwise, getting good cheap schwag ensures you can get high daily w/o breaking the bank and lets you save the 'good' stuff for the weekends or whenever. That's what I do anyhow.
