there is a drought. Fact of life! The new crop isn't in and the old crop has about run out. So, first I suggest that next year you buy an extra baggie about midsummer and stash in in the freezer for early September use. Second, I strongly suggest getting a vaporizer. You use 1/2 the stash and get just as high. It won't mess up your lungs like smoking will (I have NO morning cough now). The resin that you get from the stem tastes better than pipe scrapings (I save it for a rainy day or when I need a little extra kick). Vaporizing doesn't smell like smoking pot- VERY stealthy! AND the left-over duff is still good enough for cooking and some folks smoke it. If you bought at your present rate and vaped to get the same high as you are accustommed to, you'd still have stash right now! Check out the Vapor Brother's GNES at discountworldonline.com . I got a good price and good service from them.
