seems like sifting a nickel bag would be cheaper
Anchorage AK: House for sale 3 bed 1 bath 1440 sq feet huge lot near Cheney Lake 175K FSBO 813.273.3518 I wondered what Darwinian moment had to effect itself before we devolved from children flying paper flags in the sky to half formed creatures thundering in a wall of horns down the road to Roncevaux.

Yeah, but
When was the last time you smoked Hawaiian? It's been about 25 years for me.
I just realized something.
With all my computer equipment drawing the amount of wattage I do, I bet I'm on the utility company's watch list for home growers.
Anyway, it'll be many years before I'm old(er) and retired and might even think about touching something something again.
How do you know that this web site is not a front for the FEDs?

Well, it's in the Netherlands
so it seems pretty unlikely that it's a front for US enforcement services.
That said, if you want power, get to know a Canadian hydro operator.

Still no real world
That is a web server. I can have a web server ANYWHERE. I still live in the US.

How would you know...
The machine could be a "reverse proxy" for a server here in the US. You would never know.
Wel, if it was IIS doing the rev-proxy you would, but that is another story.

Sure
but, you can use the whois information to contact the company by another means. If you're really paranoid, you could even go there.

Re: seems like sifting a nickel bag would be cheaper
not sure those exist anymore. The last conversation I had about small-quantity pricing was in 2000. The time before that was probably about 1990 or so. 20something at work offered me a third of an eighth for $20. After my head exploded and I told her about when quarters were $30 and ounces were $100 and qp's were $350, I flashed back to when somebody's older brother was telling me about $25 ounces back in the 70's. I guess each generation tells the next one that it's spending WAY too much money for its head.
so I think if you actually found a $5 bag, it probably would be nothing _but_ seeds. Probably wet ones, too.
FAQ! We're scrod!

conversation with Navy brother, Hawaii 1973
"Hey Steve, how much is gas out there?"
"About 10$ a lid."
--scratches head for several years--
Then I discovered "lid" was a slang term for an oh-zee. He thought I had said "How much is grass out there?"
10$ an oh-zee.

Ooooohh! Flashbacks!
"Ten-dollar lid"
Now there's a phrase I haven't heard for 40 years!
jb4 shrub\ufffdbish (Am., from shrub + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf. BULLSHIT

But the terms stay the same
A joint was $1. You could make about 12 from 1/4 Oz. A "nickel" is a 1/4 Oz. Which was $10 to me. A "dime" was a 1/2 Oz. Which was $20 to me. An Oz was an Oz. $40.
A QP was $120. This let you sell 3 Oz and smoke one.
A LB was $400.
And yes, I DID have a triple beam scale.
