While there are some edibles that start at $5, any edibles that are actually worth buying – and can plausibly mirror some sort of widely-produced – can get pretty pricey. “Zombie skittles” are $18 per bag from Nature’s Way Delivery. According to weed-deals.com, one bag of “Stoney Patch Kids” costs $25 Canadian dollars, which equates to roughly $20 USD. Hell, a packet of “Double-Stuff Stoneos” from bi-costal brand Hedgenix runs for $40 a pop.S–t’s expensive, man. Multiply that by say, 100 trick-or-treaters, and one would have to drop a bare minimum of $1,800 on edibles for your maniacal ruse to work.
