These Marijuana Strains are the Most Expensive in the World
When a budtender discreetly pulls out buds from the top shelf, you know youre about to get something exquisite and rare (like a Pokmon). Most of the time, highly coveted marijuana strains cost an extra $15-40, leaving some people grumbling silently, as they pull out their wallet.
