Your figure is more than enough for what you are thinking of getting. What you want (dipped in oil and rolled in keif) is called "caviar", but I don't know if they sell it in pre-rolls. And, just a bit of extra knowledge for you, if you are NOT a Colorado resident, you can only buy up to 1 ounce/day/store. CO's laws say that non residents can only buy up to 1 ounce. Residents on the other hand can get a lot more than that (not sure of the amount). And, be prepared, as they WILL ask for proper ID (driver's license) to verify if you are over the age of 21, and if you are a resident or not. So, if you still have money after you visit your first store (and from what you said you budgeted, you will), take what you got from the first store and put it in your car, then go down the street to another store, and buy up to an ounce again. DO NOT walk into a 420 store with a bag from a previous store, because as soon as they see your ID, they will tell you that they can't sell to you that day because you've already hit your limit (saw one poor sap do that once). Make sure you have tupperware to seal it in if you are going to leave the state (stuff from CO stores stinks to high heaven and your car WILL smell like a 420 shop if you don't put it in something sealed). As far as the prices? It can range anywhere from 70 to 250/oz., depending on the strain that you get. My personal favorites? Strawberry Cough, Gorilla Glue, Jesus OG and Golden Goat (all are half Sativa strains or better). And remember, there IS a difference between Sativa and Indica. Indica (also known as "in da couch" will give you pain relief and couch lock (meaning you won't want to do anything or go anywhere). Sativa on the other hand will give you energy and a really nice happy buzz. I prefer Sativa myself. Also, don't be afraid to ask the bud tenders (that's what the sales people are called) about what strains will do what, as they are all very knowledgeable and will direct you to the strain that will do what you are looking for. Every strain has a different effect, so don't be afraid to ask about it. Enjoy shopping! I know I had lots of fun everytime I went to a cannabis store.
Also, you might want to investigate the edibles (chocolates, gummies and other things), as well as the vape pens. I like both of them fairly well, but prefer the flower. Vape pens are good if you are smoking somewhere where you don't want the smell to travel, and edibles are fun, but BE CAREFUL. If you eat the whole package, you will be stoned for at least the next 24 hours. My recommendation? Eat what the recommended dosage is, WAIT FOR 30 MIN., check how you feel, and if desired, eat another dose. Or, if you are someone with experience, go ahead and go double, triple, or eat the whole thing, as you'll know what you're getting into. But going for the whole thing WILL keep you stoned for the next 24 hours.....you've been warned, but have fun!
