It's cool, you didn't have to answer if you didn't want to. Carpe needs to just shut the fuck up though.
In regards to dispensaries and stuff in Long Beach, there's really nothing special, most places are kind of expensive. I usually go over to some of the places in Wilmington/San Pedro because it's a bit cheaper, but it's still probably nothing that your friends can't beat. There's one place though where you can get 2 ounces of some of their lower shelf stuff for like $250-300 (regular bud, not shake), which seems like a pretty good deal to me. It's not their best stuff, but all dispensary weed is still pretty damn good.
Any cool places out in your area to check out?
