View Full Version : why do people lie about price?

So recently, i have started to get annoyed by people on the board that claim to get really good deals on bud. I realize that some places, bud is somewhat cheaper or more expensive, but it's really not that radical of a change in my opinion, and I have lived all over. It seems more to me that the quality of bud changes more than the price. For example, an eighter of
nebraska "kind bud" is $50, which I would consider Florida "mids" and I would get that eighth for $20, but Florida
"kind bud" is $50 an eighth, and higher quality than I would find in Nebraska. I just get so annoyed when people will be consistently quoting the price of, lets say, an ounce of mids, or crippy/kind bud, and someone pops in and says "I can get an ounce for $40". No, you fucking can't, unless you are BFF with a grower or if its some shit ass bud. And you know then, that you are not quoting someone a price of a regular ass person in your area, you're just being a braggart or misleading. I mean we have all have times when we got a huge quantity of bud for extremely cheap but for most people, this is not a normal thing. No one thinks youre fucking cool because you claim to get bud for so cheap.
And who the fuck cares if you smoke good bud or bad bud? Who really gives 2 shits? Some people prefer to smoke crippy blunts. Some people like to smoke crippy out of a bowl. Some people like smoking regs blunts or mids blunts because they like the process of rolling a blunt and want to be able to smoke more often. Some people smoke regs because they don't smoke very often and two hits of some regs gets them stoned. I just am sick of people who feel like they have to rub their weed good fortune in everyones face.
Remember, like Dr. Dre said,
"Real gangsta ass *****s don't flex nuts, cuz real gangsta ass *****s know they got 'em."
Sorry about the rant but I think some people feel the same way, and I'm stressed. This is just my opinion. :thumbsup:

I have noticed that as well,I dont get weed for dirt cheap either,The cheapest I ever gotten weed was when I was in Tonga.They dont even ask you for money,people would exchange stuff like lobsters or some fish and get like a Bag of weed.....no weighing or anything it was like "Is this enough?" There was no set price.My Best freinds bro used to just give weed to people if they wanted.But I remember hoeing weeds in my freinds dads farm and he gave us a sandwich bag full of buds.
But I agree,$50 bucks an eighth is what pay here as well.

Wow, that was really down to earth and real. Thanks for that. I completely agree with you. It's annoying when those people claim to get O's of dank for $1, shut the fuck up indeed.

The price of your weed (no matter if it's the K'est KB or the lowest schwagg) depends 100% on your relationship with your supplier. If you are in good with a good grower, or someone close to a grower, your weed could be cheaper than free.
But more importantly...
Who cares?
Why does it matter what someone else pays for weed, or whether yours is more or less dank for the same price?
It's not about money.
If you don't like weed prices,
Grow your own!

I usually post both location and type.
In New Hampshire/northern Massachusetts:
Good:$25-$35=1/8(friend deals maybe $20)
Reggie:$100-$120=Oz(friend deals are $80)
In Louisiana:
Good:$50-$60=1/8(people will try you for $20=gram)
Reggie:$50-$65=Oz(This reggie is usually better than NH/MA)
As you can see, supply and demand dictate price here in the US.
Closer to the Mexico border = Cheaper/fresher reggie
Closer to Canada = Cheaper/better Good
Special to note would be that, I've gotten some rotten brown reggie in Mass and paid $100/Oz. At the same time I get really good looking reggie here in Louisiana for dirt prices.

Ehh I haven't seen that much nor would I let it bother me that much....
If you haven't figured out from smoking through the years that people are gunna lie about prices then you've smoked too much bud my friend. It's just about as guarenteed as the sunrise.

Who.......cares.:rastasmoke:
I used to pay $10 an ounce. ;) But since growing hasn't been happening, I hav been paying a bit more.
I don't lie. I have no reason to.
I picked up 2 ounces for $420 over the week. :p Seriously, that's how much it was.
I say if people lie on here about what they pay, it's their own problem and I move on in life.

Haha, I do remember what Dre said.
Some people want to look important in the eyes of other people and they get a good feeling from that. Where I used to work we had a few people who were "1 ups". No matter how good a story you just told they chime in with an even better one, just to one up you. So we call them the "1 ups." Same with the weed price thing. And it doesn't matter if they say it's more expensive or cheaper they just want to one up you. ;)

Where i live, if you want to buy skunk (high grade cannabis) from 1g to one OZ you get to pay from 8 to 15 euros per gram. Now if you want to buy half or a full kilo (500g to 1000g) you can get it for as much as 4 to 5euros per gram. But i know some people that can get it for as much as 3 euros gram when they buy full kilos of skunk. Thats ridiculous.. 3 euros per gram usually gets you swagg or mids on the street.. And where i live we have 2 kinds of "high grade". One we reffer to it as "skunk" and its imported skunk from holland and other places in europe, dealers gets em for 3 to 6euros./g, users for 8 to 15euros/g. The other one we call it "local" and its our local outdoor grown sativas of supreme quality. Dealers get it either free (grow it) or 2 to 5 euros per g, users for 5 to 15euros per gram. So it all depends on the people you know... Sure some people may be saying shit on the internet but i have seen so crazy deals in my life that now i believe that if you know the right guys everithing is possible. I used to get skunk for 12euros/g. Now i can get better quality for almost half the price bcoz i know different people. I dont really care if anyone believes me or not. I have no way to prove it. And i dont want to. I just post what i get with some info and yes I like when people reply possitive stuff in my threads and we exchange comments and thats it. Back to real life. And i dont care if someone says "i can get a full oz for 50 cents". I'll probably +rep him. Its not like he insulted my intelligence or anything. Im going to laugh and thats it...

I scored a free bag of weed 'cause these lesbian growers think my wife is a cutie. They gave us some awesome brownies too, just for me throwing a pool game at a house party. hehe. And it's very good. Orange almost.
But, yeah, I know what you're saying. It's kinda like teenage boys in a locker room. "Hey guys, I got laid last night!"
"Well I fucked two girls last night!" Really? Did you?
And the silly one-uppance continues.

I find it quite possible for anyone to quote prices for areas unless it's the same person you get it from that they do..some people make money when you go through a middle man...usually about all the time they do..it's called supply and demand..and it creates a broad fluctuation in prices quite easily.:thumbsup:
it's all about who you know

I agree and disagree with you mark.
On one hand there should be room for profit, on the other hand, I like to know the average.
For instance, I might pay an extra $5-$10 because the person delivers or is super discrete.
Quality of service has to be there to pay more than the average though. Also I'd pay more if I was new to the area, but wouldn't want to pay tourist prices forever.

I don't think you'd consider quality of service if all of the people you get it from gets busted except one, for instance. Then I think it would be moreso, whoever this one guy is, and how much he charges, because at the moment you wouldn't know but one person to get marijuana from..And if it were me and I could only get marijuana from one person, I would most certainly pay what it costs...and if they wanna be a dick and make 10 or 20 dollars, they can...because there's no set price whatsoever for illegal drugs..that was the point of my post...

Luckily, since cannabis is often an illegal item, it's a free market. Supply and demand are it, period.

Dude, you paid at lesat 62 cents too much for that haze dro dankness purple buds! And it wasn't even kind haze dro dankness purple buds! Sucker!
I think some people like to lie about the price of everything, not just buds. They like to seem like they get a better deal than everyone else. In the case of buds, it's irritating, because it's difficult to price shop --- it's not like stopping at Target, Walmart and Safeway to see who has the best deal on 24-count double rolls of Charmin Extra Soft Triple Ply, which is the haze dro dankness purple buds of toilet paper, like wiping your ass on a cloud. It's nice to get accurate pricing info so you can see if you are at least in the ballpark for what you are paying.
