In the exchange between Freck and Barris, Freck casually reveals that he has bought a methedrine plant, which prompts Barris to scoff at the idea. Barris explains that methedrine, commonly known as meth, is a synthetic drug produced in laboratories and does not come from a plant, unlike marijuana. His expression is one of disdain, highlighting the distinction between organic and synthetic drugs.
Freck then clarifies that he inherited a large sum of money and actually purchased an operation where meth is manufactured. This twist reveals that Freck's earlier statement was misleading, as he is not buying a plant in the traditional sense, but rather investing in an illegal drug production facility. This exchange underscores the absurdity and complexity of the drug culture they inhabit.
