A $3 joint can look this good?
BY ED MURRIETA
Joint. Spliff. Pre-roll. By any name, it’s arguably the most known and widely recognized vehicle associated with smoking pot.
It’s certainly the most convenient.
It’s portable.
It’s easy to share — making it a truly social medium.
You can even eat one — as medicine, of course — if it comes to that.
And talk about portion control: You can cut a joint in half, thirds, quarters, smoke a bit and save the rest for later.
Some joints have enough pot packed in them that you can re-roll their contents into two joints. Now that’s value.
In Sacramento medical marijuana dispensaries, joints sell for as little as $2.50 each to as much as $15 each; doobies are doled out as patient rewards; and, at at least one dispensary, fatties are flat-out free, one per day just for showing up.
On the theory that joints are like calling cards — If a dispensary can’t roll a decent joint, what’s a pot patron to think of a dispensary’s other offerings? — I’m firing up a new feature on Pot Appetit: The Best Joints in Town. I’m starting today with the lowest price points: $3 or less, or the po’ boys of pot.
