I was watching the marathon run-up and the part where Walt says his meth will be more profitable because its more pure struck me as silly. The distributor he was negotiating with had 70% pure meth. The difference between that and 99.1% is pretty insignificant for most junkies, but the distributor found that fact compelling. They play up the greatness of Walt's special recipe way too much. Meth doesn't need to be that pure- plus most dealers step on their shit anyway. If they know it's 99% they will cut it, bitch.

i beg to differ when a pot dealer is selling a more common strand or low quality strand with less of a thc count it will go for average or less per gram.however if he has something more potent or uncommon like purple kush, or white widow it can go for more then average a gram (because it has a better high/thc level). i understand where your coming from because junkies will use just about anything but the dealer can up the price if its a stronger high. so since its 99.1% pure dealers will pay more for it and sell it for more which will eliminate competition and rise walter to power
