I live in MD and even though bud is ridiculously expensive and the supply of good quality is low (Hell the supply of even low grade is low out here) I've never heard of any1 paying more than $550 an oz... and thats those preppy kids who have the money to throw away. Generally an OZ is 400-450 out here. I will say MD is probably in the worst 10 states to be a bud smoker. You either can get some dirty Mexican schwag for 100/oz, some sensimilla that isnt that good but because it's seedless and has a decent smell people whill charge 300+ for it, and then you can get some high quality strains for 400+. Just another reason for me to hate this awful, overly conservative state.
