I'm so tired of reaching into the ounce I just bought and sometimes pulling out like a 1g nug of 'bud' that turns out to just be a bunch of leaves and stems all throughout it with some trichs and red hairs in various places, but the bud as a whole is basicially unsmokable unless you enjoy smoking stems. Do people do this shit on purpose to rip people off or what?! Time to vape..

yeah i hate that shit too, i think people have a seperate bag of bullshit weed that they mix in with their mids or dank or whatever to make it weigh. oh and who is Ron Paul bye the way?

Well, from a seller's standpoint...it makes sense. I know my dealer, who I knew personally, had, sometimes, at least 5 pounds of bud. Did he want to go through it and search for said "nuggs" and take them out, subtracting both weight and his own personal time? No, not ever.
And really...would you want to??

this happens from time to time, less often when dealing with dank and with mature adult salesman or women...in my younger years i found that although the quality of the herb may be the same as im getting now...the quality of the bags im getting now are better....and VOTE FOR RON PAUL !!!

i suppose the grower is lazy and doesnt trim or anything i hope your not going to buy from him/her again is this schwag or mids or what you would be better of growing your own very dank nice smooth buds:thumbsup:

Unfortunetely I don't get bud directly from a grower, but just from people I know can get me an ounce of bud when I want (I don't know where it comes from). Sometimes it's all legit but sometimes a few chunks of bud will be like this and it's really gay..
Another problem: do you people buying like half to full ounces of bud weigh it everytime? Sometimes when I weigh the ounce it's like 3g short but I just figure there's some kind of weight mistake somewhere either in their or my scale, but from a dealers standpoint, I'm sure they're just taking 3g out to make like $45 off it? They know when you're looking at your ounce you probably won't care about a couple grams.. or I usually don't anyways, would you complain?
edit: this is like $300-$350/o bud I'm talking about.

well i wouldntmuch if it was just schwag but if its dank and you buy a 600$ ounce if that shit isnt weighed out right then somethings going to happen to someone and let me tell you that someone isnt me:thumbsup:

exam the bag before you buy.
Even when buying an ounce, You still have time to run your fingers across the bag and study the density/smell/look.
If the dealers doesnt let you check the buds than get another dealer. If the guy is straight he would be proud to show you the buds before you buy.

If my oz's were 3 g short i'd go through the roof. Infact, i'd go fucking baslistic.
If you pay for something, you should get it all.
It's like paying for a burger and only getting half. Just coz it's illegal, doesnt mean you havnt got rights.
If you pay for an oz it should be 28.3, and NO less.

The right to take the law into your own hands.
But 3 grams is half of 28.3? I wouldn't go that far. The only true and non violent way to hurt a dealer is boycotting that dealer.
Never buy from him again.

No, i know but it's the same concept. If i pay for something, i want it all! 3 g isnt alot, but it's weed i've paid for.

3 grams is a little much for a "wieght mistake"
next time you buy just tell him that your ounce was 3 grams short (in a non-confrontational way) and you can probably get him to give you 3 grams extra on your next purchase or at least give you a discount.
Just becasue your buying a large amount doesnt mean you should ignore it. What if you bought and eighth and it was 3 grams short? Dude just talk to him about it and I guarantee from then on your sacks will start wieghing out exactly......... Unless he's a douchebag, in which case find a new dealer.

If your buying illegal things, you DON'T have rights. It's illegal.
If I bough an Oz which was 3 GRAMS under, I would phone the person I got it off back up and tell them. Go back and get it or if thats no possible (because they won't give it to you), ATLEAST let them know you know you have been ripped.
You should be getting 28g's for an Oz. If I'm buying anything over a half I don't mind giving a 0.2/0.3 leeway because I know it's a right bitch trying to get it exact on smaller scales.

It's 28.3 for an oz, and anyone who knows it's under and accepts it is an idiot. Plain and simple. IDIOT.

Thanks for insulting me, how kind.
Also every dealer in the whole fucking world (apart from your apparently) does them at 28 grams.
"oh noes, I'm missing 0.3, it's not even enough to make a joint, but i'll cry about it anyway!"

Yeah - if you allow yourself to get ripped off, no matter how small, your an idiot, and so is everyone else who does.
And you'll find GOOD dealers will all weigh up to 28.3!
Why not just throw your money at him and walk off with nothing.

I have never known a dealer to be as pedantic as to weigh them to 28.3.
To be honest, you haven't even taken into account the price anyone is paying.
Does it still have to be 28.3 if you're buying an ounce for £120, or £140?
It's 28g in an ounce. Ask a certain VERY well known, long running mail order supplier, who by your logic is a ripoff...

I despise dickhead dealers who underweigh bags because that's what they are imo. They don't deserve the hands they use to touch cannabis, they don't deserve the nose they have to smell cannabis, they don't deserve a mouth, they don't deserve a life. I can't fucking stand these people who try and shot 8ths at 2.8 or 3.2 or lower, whatever, an 8th is 3.5 you bastard. I have one dealer whos weights are what they should be, that's why i go to him. I would love to be able to get O's weighed at 28.3 or if i could buy a QB, i would fucking LOVE it, but it's unachievable for me right now. I can't wait to move out of London and to the Netherlands because picking up is a fucking hassle sometimes.

If I am going directly to my guy, he always makes me measure it out infront of him so that we both know it weighs right with no problems. I like that.
I agree, if you accept less then what is the exact amount, you are letting yourself get dicked. Sure it might not be a huge amount, but you realize you payed for the full amount, and unless the dealer is taking a few bucks off for the missing amount, you should be getting the full amount.

1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams [Avadopoius] Troy oz's are over 31g.

I suppose you claim the .0495231 aswell... It would be slightly hypocritical if you didn't, after all an Oz is 28.3495231 and you need to get what you paied for...

Hey Lip, an ounce is actually 28.4g =P
(Though you may be correct with all the numbers from the hundredth place, making it round up to 28.4)

The .3 is enough to smoke, the rest is so little it isnt. Call me a hypocrit if you like - think it'll bother me?

Another problem: do you people buying like half to full ounces of bud weigh it everytime? Sometimes when I weigh the ounce it's like 3g short but I just figure there's some kind of weight mistake somewhere either in their or my scale, but from a dealers standpoint, I'm sure they're just taking 3g out to make like $45 off it? They know when you're looking at your ounce you probably won't care about a couple grams.. or I usually don't anyways, would you complain?

Hell yeah man I care, especially if it's 350 an O! Even if 25/28 grams seens like a lot, you'd wish you had that nearly extra eighth when your sack isn't so fat anymore.
A gram +/- is not a big deal, but I'd never buy from a dealer again if he jipped me 3 grams.

Again, i really couldnt care less. I'm only paying £20 more on the oz - and im sure mine is much better.
And when i'm growing - well, my ounces are costing me something like 50p - IF that!

Only grown it out once. Got the seeds from a mate on here.
I used the original.
It's a good plant, especially for beginners, and obviously very quick finishing.
The smoke is surprisingly strong, much better than i ever expected, more sativa than indica though.- only reason i'm not going to grow them again is the yeild - very very low compared to conventional strains.
One of my LR's finsihed at 5 inches! Super dwafed plant haha!
It's something to try at least once! That's for sure. It's more of a fun strain - something you can literally have as a little house plant lol.
I've got some cheese on the go now, with a couple of Fem'd WW i found from years ago.

28.3 is my opinion too. I too agree it's the principle.
31 is old school and anyone that weighs them @ this should be kept as a friend!!!
I don't think the dude is an idiot though....maybe it is great bud and the middle man get sticky fingers and pinches a few g's for himself?
If I was paying a premium, I would bitch. If it was a cheap z...but great quality, I would mention it the next time and if it wasn't corrected I would have one of 2 options.
Continue to be screwed
Go someplace else.
