Back where I came from (Columbus, GA), mids was all there was to smoke. You really had to search to find regs. But, to answer your question - yes. The good mids usually do have both crystals and hairs on them, and usually cost no more than about $40/quarter. I always looked at it like mids were what you smoke, you know, every day (we used to call it the Bud Light of weed -- come home from work, toke up, go about your day) and exotics were like champagne -- too expensive to smoke all the time, but good for special occasions. 'course, in C-Town, bud was way, way, WAY too expensive 'cuz it was so rare.
