For the non-obvious reasons that this works is because weed is kind of expensive so the majority of people going are probably dropping around $100 or more, so you know they have the extra money to throw down on some cookies. Adding on another $10 bucks on a want when buying leisure activity substances makes the decision pretty easy in that moment to trap them.

Curious side note, how much is weed down there? Here in Canada a pack of two joints is like $8, an ounce goes for anywhere between $50 and $100 or so.

Not from the states, but I guess you might be interested in the situation in other countries too, so here’s what its like in Germany:
In Germany you usually pay between 3-10€ per gram. And you can get quite the bang out of your buck, if you buy it through the medical system*, you can get weed with 29% THC for a price starting at 2,95€/g**, and I recently got 36% THC for I think 5,50€/g.
I am not sure how the prices in the blackmarket are, but I hears there prices from 10-15€ per gramm are still somewhat usual, although I find it hard to believe.
*In Germany selling weed ist still illegal, except for medical use. With the leaglisation the boundaries to get a prescription for weed have dropped massively, so we now got a funny system with online doctors and pharmacy’s, where you have to fill out a form, where you explain your “symptoms”, and get a prescription in return. It even went this far, that online pharmacies are advertising with same day delivery of tour weed.
** On top of that comes the price for the prescription (10-15€)

It varries state by state. West coast is actually really cheap, but east coast where I am is much higher. I also think the longer its been available helps pricing as well since we have been dropping little by little each year and I dont even think its that bad anymore. I basically just buy the sale items now. Normally our joints are single but 1g for anywhere from $8 to $30. Ounces are probably double what your prices are if you get a good sale or buy shake otherwise the standard is about $90 for a quarter (used to be $100) but can go as low as $50-$60 on sale. I generally buy concentrate and i can get them as low as $25-$30 for 1g which used to average $50 just a few years ago.
I don’t buy much, the 1g concentrate is small, cheap, very strong, and lasts me a month or more and im fine with that. Normally everyone i see who is buying stuff in store buys way more though.

I don't know where that person is from, but it's not expensive in Washington.

I don’t know where you are, but weed is very cheap in Florida. I can get an ounce for 100 bucks.

In my neighborhood there’s a strip mall with a weed store right between a Dunkin Donuts and a Dominoes. Smart.

That’s a good idea. If I were buying weed and saw someone was selling girl scout cookies I’d think “yeah, that’ll come in handy when I get the munchies later”
