I normally pay $20-$25 for an 8th in vancouver, but whistler is more expensive in general, so maybe that's why- or maybe it's just really good shit. i can't really comment on the laced weed thing, cause i haven't quite decided if it's political bullshit or actually happening. i don't know anyone (and i know A LOT of people who smoke A LOT of weed) who has gotten laced weed. i wouldn't worry about it too much, cause if you got stuff that was laced i am sure you would figure it out immediately. it would probably taste way different, not to mention make you feel way different. if that happens- stop smoking it. lol.
