You really need to be asking people in your area. Prices vary around the country and it just ridiculous to compare prices to what people are paying in Canada or the U.K.. Interesting to hear about it, though it just makes me jealous.

Weed in California is pricey. I've lived in quite a few places here in the U.S. and prices here in Cali are more expensive than most. Sure, someone in Alabama might be paying a 1/3rd of what we do for weed but we also pay 3 times as much for a house, car insurance, etc. Fortunately we also tend to get paid more too. It's simple economics.

Anyhow, the going rate up here in San Francisco is $45-60 for an 1/8th depending on how good your connection is. This is for top quality weed like White Widow, Strawberry Cough, Blueberry, etc. Since your paying about the same it sounds about right to me.
