help with grams and dimes

[GetBakedOrDieTryin]

anybody know how much of a gram or how many grams should be in a dime, quarter, or nick?

[bralasta]

In a quater there is 7 grams, i dont know about dimes and nick though, because i do not live in america.

[Frivolous248]

dime is generally 1-1.5g, and a nick is like .5g

[Vinny87]

Well, where I'm at I'd say the dimes are about 1 gram. I've never bought nickels, but I'd assume a little less than half a gram.


EDIT: Whoops, Friv beat me to it.

[Pete Rock]

I hate gettin 0.8 gram sacks

A word of advice about nickel and dime bags:

If all you have is $5 or $10 at a time to spend on weed, you are wasting your money and need to get a job or a better job.

Here's why:
The less quantity you buy, the more it costs per unit purchased. So, let's assume a dime bag might cost you $10 and weigh 1 gram. By contrast, if you bought a quarter, which is 7 grams, you would only spend...umm...let's just say $50.

So, spending money on 7 grams when you are buying them one gram at a time, you will spend $70 for the same amount of weed that would cost you $50 if you bought it all at once.

And if you have an income, how hard is it to wait a week or two and not smoke any weed, so you can buy a fat-ass quarter and save 20 bucks? Then, the next time you go to buy a quarter, you only have to save $30, since you had the $20 left over from the last time you bought.

And if you *really* need to get high while saving up for that quarter, you can always split the cost with a friend and pay $25 for 3.5 grams. You still save $10 ($10/gram, buy 3.5 grams, $10x3.5=$35).

And if you buy half ounces or ounces, you pay even less per gram.

So, go clean for a couple of weeks, save your money up and buy a quarter or more. If you keep buying gram bags, you're never going to have a decent amount of weed, you will be constantly trying to score and most importantly, you are going to continue wasting your money by paying for something that is more expensive than it should be.

You can go a few weeks without buying weed. Really.

[GratefulDead4ever]

yeah the more you buy the cheaper you get each for a gram but you also run a risk at such high amounts of something bad happenin like gettin mugged or gettin shafted

[GetBakedOrDieTryin]

how many dime bags would equal one quarter in general?

[GetBakedOrDieTryin]

are u sure there isn't a "street" verison of a quarter? cuz a street dealer would never sell 7 times the amount of a dime for only 25 bucks, when a dime is 10.

[GetBakedOrDieTryin]

i suppose back in the 70s when dealers were growing sometimes 40 plants at the same time would do that... but nowadays its much more common for drug dealers to have 6 or 7.

[tokinggreg]

lol.. a "quarter" refers to a quarter ounce, not quarter as in $25.

[CYRAX]

Nicks ~ .5G - .9G
Dimes ~ 1.0G - 1.9G

for nicks, .5 is skimpy, and .9 is fat..
for dimes, 1.0 is skimpy, and 1.9 is fat..

^This goes for NY and CT, and most other eastern states^

i am about to solve all of your gram issues very simply - u need to memorize a certain gram / price and then do the math to get any other price u want -

mine is 1.7g = $20
therefore a dime is .85g because 1.7/2 = .85
a nick is .425g because .85/2 = .425

u can go up, too

1.7 x 2 = 3.4g - but many dealers will give you 3.5g (an eigth)

3.5 x 2 = 7g, a quarter ounce

therefore 7x4 = 28, which means 28grams = 1 ounce

u get the picture im sure

[LIP]

Simple rule, buy in bulk, its always cheaper.

[welshkillabee]

Just buy OZ's and sell a bit to your mates

[GetBakedOrDieTryin]

lemme repeat what i said doods.... no street dealer would ever sell u a quarter for 25 bucks which is seven grams... when a dime is worth 10, and about 1.0-1.5 grams.

[Krogith]

no no a dine refers to 10cents get it 1.0 and when someone says a Quarter there talking 1/4 of a Ounce! wich is 7 g's or 2 1/8's ( Buy bigger bunches you get broke down some also when buying bigger):smokin:

[Bong30]

i like to buy in portions of pounds or just pounds..... a nickle is what falls on the floor....

just kiding i remember those days...

you guys are making this way to hard....

[Solistus]

A quarter in weed terminology DOES NOT MEAN IT COSTS $25! It's a quarter ounce, or 7g.

[bulletz144]

where im from, a nickel is .5

a chincy dime is .7, a dime is a gram, and a fat dime is 1.3-1.5

a quarter is 7 grams, a half ounce 14, an ounce 28, a pound is 16 ounces (i think)

[GetBakedOrDieTryin]

OK.... First of all u guys or at least just LIP are tell me a quarter is is a discount and if u payed for an as many dimes to fill up a quarter worth... u would spend quite a bit more.... now on to what i was trying to say... no street dealer is going to give u a discount unless...

A- He has about 100 plants or whatever in the garage.
B- He is ur friend and is willing to do that.

I know a dime in regs is worth 10, but if a dime is 1 gram then a street dealer would sell u a true quarter... THAT IS 7 GRAMS for 70 dollars. Not 50... Not 60... but most likely... 70! look... i'm just saying the 70s are long and gone guys... Im really sorry... i wish it still was, but remember, it will always be the 70s in our hearts... *tears coming out* lol

[slipknotpsycho]

around here..

10 - 3.5 grams
20 - 7.0 grams
25 (gotta know the right people) - 14 grams
40-60 full oz.

40-60 for an ounce? Really?!?

You wanna hook me up? i got a bit of cash stashed away for an "investment".

[slipknotpsycho]

nope, i only associate with people i know, never know who you can trust anymore....

[krustythfreakinclown]

I can certainly understand that. Sigh...

[Adam01]

Where I'm from (Minneapolis-St. Paul area), most people don't sell dimebags unless they are your friend and they are willing to help you out from their own stash. The absolute lowest that most people go is half an eighth, or 1/16 of an ounce for $25 usually (or $15-20 if it's shwag). I did find a guy though that can hook me up with half an eighth of really good shwag (it's like mid-grade nug) for $10 fucking dollars! That's a quarter for $80. So even though it's technically shwag, it's a really good deal because a bag might only contain about 1-4 seeds total and it smokes like a good nug.

First of all, id reccomend not buying from a street dealer, as it's pretty sketchy since you dont know the guy. Just ask around and eventually you will get a hold of a dealer.

And yes, you do get discounts the more you buy, and you dont only get discounts if your dealer is a grower or a friend. If dealers operated the way you think they do (with your prices), an oz. would be $280 and a pound would be about $4450

It's just like when you buy a coke for $1, and then a 12pack of coke is only $5, weed prices work the same way.

Based on your pricing you should be getting

1 g - $10
3.5g - $25-30
7g - $50-55
14g - $90-95
28g - $160-170

Is that shwag your smoking? if not then holy shit those are unbelievable prices

[slipknotpsycho]

very rarely is it 'schwagg', sure it's not the best weed in the world, but it certainly gets me high off one small bowl... sometimes it's sticky, almost all the time it's compressed buds covered in red hairs that smells pretty strongly...
edit: i don't care about compressed buds, compression doesn't hurt the cannabinoids (sp?) i look at the quality of the bud itself

[MrGreenhit]

well i live in dallas tx and here it depends on what ur buying a dime 4 to 5 grams (depending on who u kno
or a shisty dime 3.2 or a really shisty dime 2.5 but thas for korn reg and fire i pay about 20 for a gram of dro well i dont pay cause i got the hook up with dro but other people do
ive come across some cali koosh that went for 70 for 4.5 grams
but other than that dimes acctually go for 10
like i said it all depends

ur probably getting good korn or mids

[VapedG13]

People I know sell many a top shelf herb for $10 a g..... until you hit a oz..... then it goes down in price:thumbsup: $225 a oz until you hit a LB then the price goes down again $3200 or $200 a oz this is for Topshelf like Sour D...bubba, purple, og kush, trainwreck

The best thing you can do for yourself is to get ahold of some killer clones and grow your own..... the price goes down a hell of alot more then!!!:hippy:

[MPLSweedman]

northside MPLS if u know the right dudes they hook OUNCES of that same shwag for $60, your gettin bucked dude, that stuffs worth about $2.50 a gram LOL

i used to grab that shit in highschool but have since moved on

[carinia]

Damn Im always amazed at the prices in TX! So friggin high, but they do have the crazy insane hard core drug laws there.
So 7 g... I guess that would be $25 here for shwag, or $80 for dro? Hard to find good growers here. :) Also no one goes less than a quarter. Go figure.

[Thatguywithpi]

Around here (Detroit,MI) the prices go like this:
$5=2.0-2.5
$10=3.0-3.5
$20=4.0-5.0
$30=8.3ish
$60=16
$110-$150=32
USD=Grams
Keep in mind that this is some pretty good bud. It doesn't look that good but it packs a punch.
