FRECK: {Casually} I bought a methedrine plant today. BARRIS: {With a snotty expression on his face} Methedrine is a benny, like speed; it's crank, it's crystal, it's amphetamine, it's made synthetically in a lab. So it isn't organic, like pot. There's no such thing as a methedrine plant like there is a pot plant. FRECK: {Springing the punch line on him} I mean I inherited forty thousand from an uncle and purchased a plant hidden in this dude's garage where he makes methedrine. I mean, he's got a factory there where he manufactures meth.

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.
