Re: Dimmitt



Before the Dimmitt "feeding frenzy" starts, and drives prices up,
I would like to say that it is worth only .50 cents to .90 cents
per gram.  That is what I paid for it a year ago, and that is what
it is worth now.

Where can you get it?  Check with Blaine Reed.  If anyone can get 
for you at these prices, he can.
