Actually, these type of pot is worth more there. The Age has an article that this stuff can be sold for more there. """ The man, who refused to give his name, said the "hydroponic bud" smuggled from Australia sells for $A600 an ounce (about $A21 a gram) or as much as $A20,000 a kilogram. Top quality marijuana in Australia sells for around $8000 a kilogram, although more when broken into "deals". """ Sounds like reliable evidence -- from "the man who refused to give his name" -- not. It's hard for me to believe that the poor pot-smoking dole-bludging surfer types who flock to Bali pay A$600/oz when they get there. Anything's possible, I suppose, but in my experience in tourist areas of Indonesia outside of Bali, you could buy dope for much less than that (more like A$20 for a quarter). The quality might be lower, but then you just have to smoke more. --mt. |

Since the active ingredient of all marijuana is generally considered to be the same (THC), this seems unlikely. More likely, self-described experts or connoisseurs attribute imaginary qualities to the high of their "high-class" brand, the way high-end drunks claim armagnac or single-malt whiskey gives a better class of alcoholic stupor than cheap sherry. cheers, --mt. |

Generally considered by whom? You? It certainly did not seem that way when I used to smoke it. But a consumer may not be the best judge on this topic So try looking here http://www.theage.com.au/news/Nation...950758434.html It covers exactly this issue in relation to the Corby case, if you accept "The Age" (respectable Melbourne newpaper) as a credible source. Extract "While marijuana in the 1970s had THC (active ingredient) levels of around 1 to 2 per cent, today's hydroponic marijuana often has THC levels of 15 per cent, higher than a lot of hashish." Try a Google on the subject, there is plenty about it there, not just related to the Corby case. |
