Did I get ripped???

[sotpmoker420]

So I have this friend I've known for along time and he recently started dealing. His prices are a bit high, but then agian I live in a rich white suburb of chicago where prices are high and weed is not as common as most places. The last 1/4 I got from his was good shit, and I think it measured up, looked like a good solid 1/4, scaled it on HIS scale and it weighed out.

This time however, I wanted to buy a half oz. of this nice bud he has, red hairs and all. High mids probably, fairly dank shit. The prices was 150 dollars (expensive I know, but thats a good price for a good half arround here).

My problem however is that it looks REALLY fucking small for a half. If you lined the bottom of a normal ziplock bag about an inch high, and about half an inch deep, thats how big it is. few seeds, few stems, but it seems really compact, hard as shit nugs (a bit old but still GREAT smoking), and sticky as shit.

I measured it on his scale, and its says 14.4 grams, but I honestly am not sure if he messed with the calibration of his scale or not to make stuff weigh in more, or if he somehow did something to the weed to make it weigh more. Below is a picture of the weed, I wanna know if it looks like good weed, if it looks like 14g's, and if 150 is even to much for where I live.

for a high standard of living area (chicago) you got a normal hook up deal i'd say....not friend-prices though

[sotpmoker420]

dosn't look like he skimped me at all? I've NEVER seen bud that compact before, looks really small, but if you say so, thanks

[halo]

it looks more like a 1/4 than a half O to me

Are you on the North Shore?
I haven't been in ages...........but are you familiar with a place called The Dam?

[sotpmoker420]

Never heard of The Dam, I'm in a northwest suburb called Northbrook, still in Cook County. But seriously guys, is it possible for a bag of weed that size to weigh in at 14g's?

I'm quite familiar with Northbrook. I ruled the NS in my day. lol:dance:
You may be in CC but step over the line and you're in LC.
So, yeah, the price is about right for the area.
Have you thought about cruising down to Evanston beach? Hop on Sheridan Rd or Greenbay rd and head south. You won't get lost. :)

The Dam used to be a rockin party place in the woods.

Are you talking about near the Lagoons??............:rasta:

[UncleChunky]

Even if its tight compact bud it still only looks like 9-10 grams to me. The price is a little high for mids.

[BabySnookums]

wife is gonna get pissed, as she always does but i don't feel like signing out..

anyways, doesn't matter how you look at it, that's not a half O, it's not even close... i think whoever said it was a 1/4 hit the nail dead on the head... yes you got ripped.... are you sure this dude is your friend? lmao..

[friendowl]

here in los angeles we call that weed "stress"

40 an oz

you got burned

[cyberalc]

i have gotten quarters that will fit in 2 dub sacks, and yes i weighed it. It was bomb shit. Lets not forget a gram is a weight not a size.

[Devin Sticky Bud]

dude not to sound like a know it all...but i could get that mutch for $20-$25...unless thats kb...maby the pics just messed up but it looks like shwag...witch only cost $25 a half here in atx...but if its kb thats good prices...


later, :stoned:

[orangeman]

I wish I had money like you lol, that looks good and nice phone and buds :).

[smokin dope]

$150 for a half? I can get a full ounce for $150...

geeez, both of you are getti ripped.

thats stress, swag, beasters, whatever ya wanna call it, 75 a zipper where im at, i know its only 40 in big texas

[P.E.N.G.U.I.N.]

Since you have so much spare cash, why not cruise down to a general store or something and buy your own scale? Even though people are saying you got ripped, give your friend the benefit of the doubt and weigh it yourself.

[sotpmoker420]

Thanks guys. I found out his scale was good becuase I weighed a nickle on it and it said 5g's (which is EXACTLY what nickle weighs if you look it up www.wikipedia.com is amazing!) It isn't schwag, the resolution of my webcam just blows, i smoked some and its pretty good. I think the person who said "Lets not forget a gram is a weight not a size," said it the best. Thanks for all the input guys. I think I am going to drive up to a headshop now that I have my license and buy a scale of my own just to make sure, and for the future not buy anything that looks like less than it is even if it weighs up

Just one more thing though. Does anyone know if there is any way to make weed weigh more without messing with the scale (cuz that was fine) I heard you can smear a bit of honey on it or something. Merry tokin all, peace:rasta:

[smokin dope]

theres plenty of ways to make something werigh more.

water being one of those, one time i got a qp of mush and i sold it to this kid but i wanted to quaarter for myself to i watered a little in the baggy, let it absorb, and boom, 7 grams.

and pretty sure evryone an there mother knows a nickle weighs 5 grams....

but good louck with youre stress

[BongSmokityDuo]

We get reaaaaaly compressed brick weed out here in Missouri a lot too. Some of it is pretty dank, but none of it is worth 150 a half. I have seen ounces compressed down to smaller than a pack of cigarettes, so that could easily be a half.

[smokin dope]

yup, thats what the compressed is all about, i got some kid a 2lb brick once and it wasnt even that bag...

[orangeman]

here in los angeles we call that weed "stress"

40 an oz

you got burned

Thought it was cess?

Lol

[BongSmokityDuo]

I'm over in springfield. have my friend's homegrown buds right now though, none of that compact stuff ;)

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

called brick weed. :D

[geonagual]

Hey dude, for that quality of weed, it should not even be close to $150. I am thinking somewhere around $60. But you know what, if you want bud, you got the cash, fuck it. Smoke that shit and be happy. Honestly, I cant stand that weed. It drags me down and gives me a headache. I guess I have been real spoiled only smoking the chronic.

[Capt. Carl]

I've thought I have gotten ripped off before too (1/4), and even came to these boards showing pictures and everything...everyone said that what I got was incorrect looking and that I got ripped off. Turns out it was actually more than 1/4...

[slipknotpsycho]

(i previously posted as Babysnookums)

ok, there is a chance that it could be a full half yes, and of course a gram is a weight, and size has little outcome on the weight (atleast in this instance), but this supposed half looks very gimped, even for compressed as fuck weed, i was making an 'educated guess' when i said he got ripped off, and i still stand behind what i said, i just wanted to address the fact that i could be wrong...

Exactly what i said man it doesnt even look like that bad of a size for a half. And i get hooked up fat cause i go through a fat 18gs a week.

[Jay Matix]

For a high standard of living area (chicago) you got a normal hook up deal i guess

yea i guess so. But out here, in Cali, I usually get my weed for free from my good friends. But out here off people that aren't my good friends I can get a half Ounce (of some high quality shit) for 100$ instead of 150$...

overall you it was a pretty good deal. Especially for you're class and area. :rasta:

[Eshelmen]

$150 for a half? I can get a full ounce for $150...

good for you mang

but alot of places dont sell 100 for an ounce in popular citys LA,Sanfran,chicago,new york etc...

I gaurantee you their close to his price for half o`s

[StonerMom]

So Sotpmoker---how was the weed?????:rasta:
