Marijuana is cheaper in Oregon than in any other state, according to Forbes magazine.

(The Oregonian)

"Man, what is in this s---, man?"

"Mostly Maui Waui, man, but it's got some Labrador in it."

"What's Labrador?"

"It's dog (crap)."

"What?"

"Yeah, my dog ate my stash, man. I had it on the table and the little motherf----- ate it, man. So I had to follow him around with a little baggie for three days before I got it back. Really blew the dog's mind."

-- "Up in Smoke," 1978

Those were the days. Pot was expensive, so no matter what happened to your stash, you found a way to smoke it.

No more. At least not in Oregon and the handful of other states where recreational marijuana has been legalized.

Oregon, in fact, has the cheapest weed in the country, according to no less an authority than Forbes magazine.

Using the website PriceofWeed.com, where people anonymously list how much they paid for marijuana they acquired either legally or illegally, the financial magazine has charted the cost of an ounce of "high-quality marijuana" in each state. In Oregon, it's $204. In many states in the Midwest and on the East Coast, an ounce of weed will run you more than $350.

Marijuana, by the way, goes for a reasonable $242 an ounce in California, where pot these days is all but legal. So "Up in Smoke" stars Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong probably won't be heading to Oregon -- or smoking Labrador poop -- to get their next high.
