Gold From Green In A Gray Area

[FruityBud]

A gentleman with a neatly trimmed beard stands at the counter of an Arcata business on a weekday morning and asks the clerk for an eighth of an ounce of Trainwreck, a popular strain of sinsemilla marijuana. The young woman on the other side of a glass partition, who looks to be a typical Arcata college student, reaches under the counter and produces a bag of fresh green buds. She pours a portion into a paper cup set on an electronic scale, then carefully transfers it to a plastic bag.As she does so, the customer asks questions about other strains available. He’s looking for some variety. He ends up buying small bags of several different kinds, paying the going rate — $40 per eighth of an ounce — with a handful of $20 bills.
