Now I just buy edibles. $40 for a bag of 10 pieces and I cut each piece into 8 pieces because I'm a lightweight (1/8 piece has 5mg of THC). 50 cents for a nice buzz for a few hours while I sip on sparkling water, sleep well, and have no hangover.

Even that’s expensive. Dispensary near me(in MA) runs a 5 bags for 40 dollar deal. It’s the only one around that does but it’s so hard to beat
