Two hundred and fifty bucks?

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
I don't know much about the street value of marijuana, and less about it's value in 1983, but that even seemed rather high (no pun intended) to me.

I can tell you from first-hand (or lung) experience that it was $10 a gram, $25 an eighth. Beyond that, I don't know, but based on that I can estimate that you could get almost 2 ounces. That's A LOT of pot.

You could get a QP (quarter-pound) back then for about $250-300, depending on who you knew. If I remember my math correctly, a QP gave you 4 ounces, or 16 "quarter" bags, which sold for......wait for it.....$25.00. Ergo, the "street-value" of a QP was $400.00, provided you didn't step on it. Keep in mind these are 80's prices, It's much cheaper now. And yes, I used to deal. A LOT. FOR YEARS.
(I got my QP's much cheaper BTW.....htown stands for Houston and we have a shipping channel. That was waaaay back so whateva......)

Thanks for the info. Did you use the dealing money for any, um, heh, heh, "higher" purpose? Like tuition? Or did it all go up in smoke?

Is your signature line from another terrible 80s movie, involving a military school?

The Stephen King movie "Christine". When Arnie drives Christine into the garage to fix her up, that was the garage owners advice. Good solid advice that holds up to this day. I apply it on a daily basis.
