We all need to agrea to only pay a standard price for pot.
for u.s.a. prices

regs,shwag,regular grade-10$-quarter-30$-oz.

mids,medium grade -15$-quarter-50$-oz.

dank mother fucking skunky high grade-30$-quarter-100$-oz.


If we all agrea to pay these prices, lets say tommorow it would change the weed prices in two months. It would be better for all, yes even growers, cut the price make up the loss with quanity.

legalization is a damn pipe dream....no pun intended. but come on if they legalize it what do you really think they will just let a million americans just go home home from jail... not enough jobs housing come on......i'm serious cutting prices is the way to go...

Cyclonite
09-29-2006, 01:56 PM
millions? Don't think that many, also legalization would provide a whole new job market. For every one person who refuses to buy at what would be a 70% discount in this area ($270-$310 oz) there are many willing to pay the normal price.

Lets see a pic of the 7g of high grade what you pay $25 at the most for....Iv been all over the world and when people say that's too expensive and I look at what they consider dank...I laugh. More like high grade Mexican dirt.

I have never seen anyone pay that low of price unless its grower direct....even then I wouldn't give anyone that good of a deal....maybe $25 an 1/8.

no dummy this wont work. if y ou were right then it would apply to oeverything and people would just all agree to ppay a dollar on everything. but all the companies would have to do is hold out a week. and with drugs it wouldnt even be a week it would be a day at most before people decided to buy at higher prices. seriously this is the most asinine thing i have heard since people thought the oil industry would take a big hit if everyone agreed to not get gas on one specific day of the year

do think all the dealers and growers would do with the product? find a new

it will take more than one day of abstaining from weed to make a change.

what i proposed to do was buy extra now ration yourself, all the new crops

they would keep laughing until they were not selling product because enough people would be asking for the ~new prices~ then they would come down in price....

Unfortunately, not every stoner in the world is gonna read this thread... So like, 1 person in each state would be demanding these low prices and dealers would laugh and sell it to stoners who haven't read this thread and aren't demanding it be sold so cheap.

I'd love to pay those prices, but if I keep asking people to sell it to me that cheap, they're gonna ignore me. Its not like anyone gets it at that price right now, they're not gonna take a loss to sell you at the price you wan't. Think about it, its like $100 bucks an ounce of regs where I am, and if I ask for an ounce for $30 bucks, theres no way hes gonna take a $70 dollar loss, I'm sure most people would just smoke it theirself if they had no one to sell to, people would stop dealing before selling at those low prices. Theres not a whole lot of money in weed to begin with.

Here's a better idea that would help you corner the weed market: grow your own weed! Think about it. You wouldn't have to pay for overpriced shit, let alone pay for it at all. My idea is kind of lame, but so is this idea in general. There are too many factors that are out of anyone's control. And don't worry about hurting my feelings.

Back on topic.....I did read the thread, if in fact there was enough people that refused to pay that price then yes some dealers may cave if their dealer caves and their grower caves. We would lose 90% of the growers and drive the supply to crap and while demand would remain the same, then guess what happens....im sure you can figure it out since your obviously so much more intelligent than the rest of us.

Its called a price equilibrium...not many will grow if there is no profit to be had or those who grow for personal use won't because at the prices you posted there would be no substantial savings. So really the only people who would grow is people who enjoy gardening the devil weed.

cyclonite...you made a good point..about supply and demand...price equalibream... i really did not think that would be a problem... and still don't....

we might lose a few growers from the price drop but there would be 10 more ready to start....

people get a rush off doing illeagal things..anyway lowering the price would increase the demand... which in therory would raise the price again.....so i am unsure on the outcome.....even though all buisness plans and models would disagrea with me....

i really think this would work..lower prices..may help decriminalize pot, more people could afford to smoke, more users=more activists.

i sell regs for 60 an ounce- then i buy dank buds with profit...

Impossible for this to work. Illegal activities are by nature capitalistic (unless they turn into turf wars and a monopoly is established, which isn't going to happen with marijuana). In a capitalistic economy, the suppliers want maximum return on their investments, subject to demand and what people are willing to pay. That's just the way the world works.

But I think the high prices actually have a beneficial effect: they are SO high that more people are learning to grow their own, which means more growers and theoretically greater availability (supply), and therefore less pressure on the prices to rise as there are fewer people buying from the dealers (lower demand). Best bet: grow your own and give it away to your friends for free. That's what I do. That takes you AND your friends out of the 'demand' part of the supply-and-demand equation, leaving the same supply as before available for a smaller group of people. If enough people do this, the price will have to drop. Obviously there aren't too many people doing this though. Heh. ;)

This idea is possible, not probable. How about this little twist? You be the change you want in this world by growing and selling at thoughs prices. This would be more realistic if a bunch of growers/dealers had your same thoughts(me for example) and sold at way lower prices than their current market. Everyone would be flocking to you and only you if you can keep the supply on demand. All other dealers would have to adjust, make THEM adjust by working within THEIR system. One thing you should worry about though is getting hurt.:thumbsup:

It's a noble idea but would never work because it defies basic economic laws. It's all about supply, demand, and what price the local market will bear. Take the San Francisco Area for example. Weed is pretty expensive out here; generally dank is $40-$60 an 1/8th depending on who you know. Yeah, that's a lot more than some places and there's always someone saying "you're gettin ripped man" but that's just ignorance. Everything is more expensive here. Take housing for example, what you could buy in Atlanta for $150K would cost a $1 million here. Seriously, I'm not kidding. Why, because with all the high tech industry people make a lot more money. The median income is much higher than other places.

So, how does this factor into the price of weed and the impossibility of a universal low price? Well, say the price is set to $10 an 1/8th, a lot lower than current local prices. Everyone who was used to paying $50 an 1/8th will be like "holy shit, fuck the 1/8th, I'll take a qp" Suddenly demand goes way, way up but the supply won't be able to keep up.

For example, take 8 people who used to buy an 1/8th a week because that was all the could afford. Their dealer would keep a supply of 1oz per week to satisfy his customers demand. Now, however, the price is cut in half so they can now afford 1/4 per week for a total demand of 2oz. Unfortunatley the dealers supply reamains constant at 1 oz. There is more demand than supply and sooner or later the conversations will go like this:

-Person A: "Give me a 1/4 for $25
-Person B: " Give me one to"
-Dealer: "Sorry guys, I only got one 1/4"
-Person A: "Well, I'm having a party and really need the extra weed so how 'bout I give you $35 for the 1/4"
-Person B: "Fuck his party, I want to get hella stoned, I'll give you $50 for the 1/4"

Now the price is right back where it started. That's a pretty simplified example but you get the idea.

Heh, yep, that's how it'd go alright. The only way it'd work is if everyone on the planet agreed to the terms, and if we could get everyone on the planet to agree to *anything*, I'd be damn impressed.

I'm more than happy to leave positive feedback for those that treat me and others with respect. You, however, seem to be some twenty-something child bent on insulting strangers over the internet because you're in love with yourself.

And I actually did leave that last comment as nicely as I could. It was said with good intentions. Maybe take the advice of others? Have a good one. ~

the economic principle you are thinking of is price fixing and it is the distributors that decide to do it and not the consumers all the distributors have to do to prevent it is refuse to sell it that low. you think they wouldnt yer dreamin

Wow, I find humor in the fact that people actually think that would work.. at all. You have to understand the concepts of supply and demand.

Also, the risk assumed with selling an illegal substance (incarceration if convicted) justify the high prices.

legalization is a damn pipe dream....no pun intended. but come on if they legalize it what do you really think they will just let a million americans just go home home from jail... not enough jobs housing come on......i'm serious cutting prices is the way to go...

yes i agree with that....

plus think about it, the gov. has their hands in the drug busness, and those assholes are behind all the coke and opium (which is documented), what makes you think that they are not running the MJ also

i say fuck the dealers, lets just grow our own and tell the dealers to go to hell (not all but some)
and before i get flamed for saying that, let me explain

alot of dealers are not professional, dont call people back and only want to come around when its "money making time" (like i said not all but alot)

those types of people dont deserve the money we pay for what we get

i agree with yeag, lets start the protest on prices

Basic economics.......

Price-fixing for the most part fails. You alter the supply by cutting any profit motivation a grower has, and increase the demand from the decrease in supply. What's the point of paying low prices when you lock out for ex 90% of demand? Unless you are the lucky dude that happened to get those cheap prices, it's a shitty idea.

Face it, people are to various degrees greedy. It's human nature. There has to be some sort of motivation for people who are willing to grow and distribute it.

The best way to lower prices is to increase the scale of production. The main reason why prices are so high is the distribution of weed is in the hands of many growers, who scale of productions aren't significant enough to dent weed prices.

Until growers, and dealers have less harsh laws bestowed upon them, or there is a major economic downturn, don't expect weed prices to decrease.

if you and your friends refuse to buy from a single dealer... and it spreads by word of mouth around that group of friends to the point where he/she loses most of his/her business then yes that person would lower prices... it wouldnt rapidly lower prices across the country like some dicks are thinkin on here but it would at least lower prices with that one dealer... if every1 did this then yea some dealers would lower prices

i fuckin hate when people lie about prices, like FUCK OFF, some of us have been around for awhile and know the fuckin game. ozs of dank can run 200 bucks - 500, and thats the truth, cheaper then 200 sometimes if u know the grower. and swag ya it can be cheap in the souther stattes, but people sayin they pay 20 bucks an oz, fuck off, unless its the dirtiest piece of shit weed a crackhead would try n slang. so fuck off fuckin idiot liars
