Apparently there was a very large bust down south near the border, and it's definitely affected the bud supply up here in the panhandle. it went from bountiful amounts where everyone could get it, to everyone calling everyone to try and find it. It took me a week of non-stop calling people before I finally managed to rope in some seedy nasty shit. The prices went up as well, I guess due to the whole demand/supply bullshit... they don't really sell anything less than a dub around here, or if so, it's really rare. Half ounces here in Lubbock went from $20-25 to $30-35 almost overnight. Ounces are now $60-80 instead of a normal rate of $50-60. And this is for seedy, nasty brown mexican brick yall. Nug wasn't really affected, it's still the easiest shit to get in town right now, with 1/8ths running for about $50.
most definitely, my one concern during Hurricane Ike was - what if it washes away all the weed crops?! Supply definitely dried up tho, could only get dank for awhile, now my ounces that I used to pay $30 for are going for $50. Yuck! but that's not stoppin my routine...lol
