lots of places in the US cost 400-500 dollars an ounce, have you not looked in a recent High Times??? just in the most recent issue the Kind Index nation wide is averaging $434/oz
depending on the state you're looking at $600-for some Hundu Kush in Tinley Park Ill (insane if you ask me)
$500 for Sour Diesel in MD
$350 Grape Ape in MO
$420 for some Shishkaberry in Austin texass

skooter, you would pay 20/g if you lived in a less fortunate place and/or didn't have the hookup.
