I'm watching the first season of Weeds, and I think I love it!
The theme song is great.
"Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky tacky, little boxes on the hillside little boxes all the same, There's a pink one, and a green one. and a blue one and a yellow one. and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look the same.
and the people in the houses all went to the university where they were all put in boxes and they came out all the same.
and there's doctors, and there's lawyers, and business executives, and they're all made of ticky tacky and they all look the same."
Beautiful song!

What episode are they on right now? I think i am on season 4 episode three now.
I just started watching Weeds a few weeks back after downloading some episodes from limewire. Now I have seen about 30 episodes or more now since then. Great show, addicting and pretty accurate except for the ridiculous prices they claim for the weed they sell.

She's supposed to be selling to rich suburban people. I don't remember any of the prices they were claiming, but I bet they were pretty accurate for socal suburbanites who don't really care what price they pay.
By the way, I watched the first three season in one long marathon, and I couldn't stand the song by the end of it (although they do a good job remixing it). It's good in small doses.

When she got robbed by the college campus security guy they pulled out a brick of weed that couldn't have been more then 2 lbs. at most. They then claimed they got robbed for $14,000 worth of pot. By the look of that shitty weed it should have been worth maybe $5000 probably less, and even if it were supper chronic no more then $8500 not 14K.

Well, they have to take artistic license every once in a while. If they want to jack up the price of schwag weed to twice it's worth, to avoid having the main character walking around with a suitcase full of weed, I won't hold it against them lol.
SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT A FEW MINOR SPOILERS!
I liked the show a lot better when it was keeping it simple. I think with season three when half of it was like nobody was selling weed at all, because she was tooling around with the psycho dealer, that was kinda irritating. I really wanted it to get back to the regular show, but I guess you can't do season after season of her building a weed empire, gotta throw in some loops haha.

This show is absolutely awesome. I watched the first 3 seasons all in one weekend and I have to say it was my kind of show. I guess they had made more episodes since then but now I don't really feel like continuing, its such a pain following these shows every week :/

Are you judging the show upon how accurately it portrays bud prices?
Or are you just trying to brag about your encyclopedic weed knowledge?

Well if she were selling 2 lbs. in eights then she would need to sell 257 eights. Why would she bring that much weed around with her if she was selling eights? and she wasn't she was meeting with the gay kid to sell it all to him, her one and only supplier to the whole college as far as i know.
Don't get me wrong i love the show, but she makes some super amature moves sometimes. Who sells pounds in the middle of everyone on a college campus anyways! You don't have to be a genius to know there are much better places to conduct that type of business. But i guess her mistakes just add to the story line.....

I learned the song is actually an old one. Makes me a little pissed, just like the Beatles songs on Target commercials. I liked the song too, though.

It's not like it's a super unrealistic price. Two pounds is 900 grams, and assuming a generous price of 20 a gram, that's eighteen thousand
Or you could say she was selling eights for 50 (which is what you could expect for low quality shit there), which is 256 eights, which turns into 12.8k, so still pretty close.
We're talking about prices in Southern California, where everything is expensive as hell. Trust me, I lived there, the prices are realistic street value.
Now get off your high horse
Jesus, 50 bucks an eight for schwag in Cali? Damn, stuff *is* expensive there. In my area 50 bucks will get you an eight of the best shit available. Regs, pfft, fifty bucks will practically get you an ounce lol.

Best shit goes for more like 70 an eighth there if you're an average joe.
