Well, not to be a dick, but I don't know anyone that has attempted to "backyard breed" or pollen chuck, that hasn't had the progeny of their chucks meet or exceed that of " elite" breeders that spent "years perfecting their strains", thus justifying their costs.
With the exception of my key lime cake, my reclining Buddha / jillybean cross aka chuck has outperformed all the other plants in my garden which were bred by these elite breeders.
Also, the argument that you can make x amount of dollars off the plants, therefore the price is justified is ridiculous. Hell, menards should charge a thousand dollars for a paintbrush then, as you could make ten thousand with that brush if you use it to get paid to paint houses with it.
Many also don't sell weed, but are patients on a limited budget / income that grow for their own personal use, or donate to others for free. It's okay though, nothing like preying on the sick, weak, vulnerable, and impovrished, like the guy said he loves capitalism. Fucking douche with thousand dollar seeds.
