thoughts on 4/20

So kids, I make and sell several kinds of weed smoking paraphernalia. Now mind you I have never described my stuff as Tabaco smoking stuff, my stuff is unabashedly used for the consumption of marijuana. This undertaking is completely legal and I sell a ton of stuff at flea markets. I sell bongs made from repurposed glass and ceramic, pipes made from rocks from the Salt river in AZ. stash and caries from copper pipe, bong pokers, and several other items that simplify the weed smoking experience.  I have been doing bongs for 5 years I have priced these devices from stupid high in the past, I sell most of these devices for $20 . I sell Salt river stoned pipes for $20-$30, I sell Wizard pipes for $30.  This cash and carry prices at flea markets.

There are several enterprising folks who do the same thing I do but only sell online typical prices run from $120 all the way up to over $300.  I’m not knocking those people, I just come from a place and time of simple is better and marking stuff up over 500% of cost is excessive and price gouging in my world. I sell local and the collage kids love my prices (i’m somewhat of a thing at ASU).

I have ran into a number of new devices being marketed to the users of weed that purport to making your experience easier faster better. These beautifully manufactured devices will set you back at least $100 or more and usually provide a single benefit. I ran into a Kickstarter joint rolling machine as big as a coffee maker and priced over $100. I can roll a joint with 2 hands and a dollar bill, I have a cone packer also pretty cheap. Again lets complicate an antient ritual with modern devices and high prices, its the American way. Peace
