Buying Weed

[jay42]

Ok, first of all, I don't usually buy my own weed. I usually smoke my friend's but I do chip in so its ok. But he's run into a few "problems" and his stash has pretty much dried up. Long story short, I'm beginning to get to know this dealer that has some pretty good stuff, but I've been warned by others that he can try to rip you off. Anyway, I want to get a scale, but I want to know how others do it. Do you weigh it when you get it (before you pay). Or do you do it afterwards, and if you think ur getting ripped off, you just stop going to that dealer. Also, for like 1/4 or 1/2 an o, do you have to take it out of the baggie? Does it affect the weight? Seems like it'd be tough in the back of a car.

[slipknotpsycho]

depends if you have a controntational attitude or not.....if you don't then you'll probably weight it after you get it, and if it's off say something or just don't go back to them.....if you do, then i'd be suprised if you didn't cuss them out for trying to rip you off and make a big scene....just tell him ahead of ti me you better gettin ripped off alot and you are going to weigh it before you hand over money...if he has a problem with you weighing it then he's more than likely trying to rip you off. .

[silasbotwin]

I say you just buy it once more, weigh it afterwards. If he's cool to you, don't spit in his face.

[Fan o KmK]

yea ive kinda had this prob too, what to do when you are handed your sack, but u dont exactly know if its too little, or if it is what to say, or something...i usually just go, "dude if ur fuckin me over im gona be pissed" and then they usually re-assure me, then i take it home and weight it, then if its off ill be like dude u undercut me, and if they appalogize adn give me more or something then sweet, but if not i get somone else.

[Cacophony]

If you're the polite type, weigh it at home and if its off, next time you call him up, tell him he should consider buying a new scale because he was X amount short.

[benny123]

Weigh it after you get it and if he does rip you off dont buy from him anymore. Hell think your a dumbass if you come back for more and hell keep trying to rip you off.

cacophony i love the avatar so much

why do i get the feeling that's a halo lover.....:rolleyes:

[lateralus]

Weigh it afterwards, and if it's too short, either forget him or tell him you noticed. The dealers I know will take advantage of you if you don't seem to know what you're doing, but are cool if you do.

[sticky]

Always,Always weigh with the dealer there. He should take the initiative and weigh it for you in front of you. No hard feelings that way.

[jay42]

What about the baggie? Will it affect weight? Its no problem takin the bud out at home to weigh it, but I usually do deals by hopping in the back of their car for a second. How do people weigh it before they pay?

[EciRonTog]

I weigh most of my stuff at home just because I trust most of my dealers. But every once in a while when I get stuff from an unknown hook, i'll weigh it there. It helps to have a friend with you or something so that you have the upper hand in case they get all butthurt or pissy if you catch them ripping you.

The biggest problem is when they try to count the bag as part of the weight "the bag hardly weighs anything" they say, when its really like 2g... And I love it when they leave it all connected to like a fat stem and are like "that stem doesn't weigh anything" and it turns out the stem itself is like a gram...

[lateralus]

I think a dub ziplock is something like .03 grams.

[STDzRus]

My dealer(s) usually have always weighed the weed out in front of my face just because I knew them closely and they know I don't like to be cheated because I spend a lot of money and I can always get it somewhere else. They never weighed it in the bag and only a few times did they have to undercut me which was fine, because I was buying some high quality mids at schwag prices.

Invest in a finger weight. It's quick easy and will give you an approximate value of weight.

No, don't bother with a finger weight. When you buy a scale, you either go digital or you don't go at all.

[lateralus]

Well SLAP my ass and call me Shirley god fucking damn it.

Not really. If your just doing it to check your personal weight for a sack you bought what's the point in wasting money on a digital scale when you can go pick up a finger weight for 2 dollars.

But finger scales aren't very accurate. You would never be able to tell for sure what the exact weight is. You're only beating yourself if you use a finger scale.

[STDzRus]

Fingerweights usually aren't off by much and you don't have to be accurate to the .1 of a gram or anything so why invest 60 bucks in an electronic?

It's up to the person buying.

If you want to be ACCURATE and on touch 99.99 percent...get an electronic.

If you just want to be close to sure that you got what you paid for..get a fingerweight.

If you only want to spend less than 10 dollars on something besides weed or something else..get a fingerweight.

If you want to pay at least 50 bucks for something besides weed or something else..get an electronic.

To each his own, I guess.

If you're not really concerned about a half gram here or there I guess you could go with a finger scale. But I wouldn't.

[STDzRus]

Half a gram is a little extreme. Unless you don't adjust your weight that's the only way a fingerweight will be off by 1/2 a gram.

[RIP ODB]

Fingerscales suck. Get over it and move on.

[Reefer Rogue]

Get a digi scale, ha, fingerscale. :rolleyes: N00bZ0r :stoned: :dance: :pimp: :rasta: :smokin: :D
I'M SO HIGH RITE NOW! :D :rasta:

[STDzRus]

Haha you guys are funny.

There is NO POINT in throwing down 50 dollars for a piece of shit digi scale for something that you only really need if your selling or a tight ass with your money and finger scales are not off usually by more than .1 - .2 grams.

Anyways. /done.

[SENSESFAIL]

after awhile of buying, you start to know what it weighs by looking at it, and if its really compressed and chunky, then it mite look like your getting ripped off, but when you break it up there is more in there then you think. and just ask him to show you how much it wieghs. and if all else fail, just get a digi

[Reefer Rogue]

just get a digi

Good point. :)

i am kinda similar

[420purplehaze420]

i feel very sorry for you if you have to buy a scale for any amount of money for the sole purpose of making sure your not getting ripped off, find a dealer who isnt in highschool and get real counts for your money a scale is only needed when your dealing if your a consumer then its not necessary

[jay42]

Well, I'm sure that if I got a electronic scale it would go to good use, measuring shit out at home, bagging, storing, selling to my friends.

Excuse my noobness to buying, but finger weight? sounds good because i mostly just need a ballpark and im a little short on cash.

[STDzRus]

if your a consumer then its not necessary

My point exactly.

And to the above^

A finger weight is also known as a letter wait. You attach the bag to a hook and hold it up and see approximately (within .1-.5 grams depending on how you have it adjusted) how much the weight is. They cost 2 dollars maybe a little more if you buy froma smoke shop.

The most I've ever paid for one is 5 bucks and I rarely ever used it.

[jmdogg88]

HE'S A FUCKING DRUG DEALER!!!! you have the right as a customer to see that you get your money's worth...

[BongSmokityDuo]

yeah but since it's illegal you have no rights....he has the delicious weed, you hand over the cash
