Indica? Sativa? What is this stuff?

[Spills]

Hey! I am new to the whole pot smoking thing. I just bought some bud from a guy I don't really know, so I don't know if he is trusworthy or not.
I haven't smoked it yet and if I got ripped I would like to see if I can return it unsmoked.
He said it was high kb (something like that), and that it was the best he had.
I paid $65 for an eighth.
It has a sweet, pungent smell and has no visible seeds.

Was I ripped? Can you tell if it is indica or sativa? Maybe what strain?
Is it even an eighth?

Help me I am a noob and would like to learn.

[Closet Smoker]

ok first off $65 for an 1/8 is fucking ridiculous. I would pay $45 for that tops. But hey dont "return" it... there are no refunds in the world of weed. it looks good but def not worth $65.

[big smoke07]

65 is a crazy price even for good weed. NEVER pay 65 for an 8th.

But by the looks of it you just paid $65 for an 8th of mids...damn, he got you.

[Bob the Awesome]

No, you got ripped off, $65 for an eigth? Blech

[RedFury]

looks like you got ripped in a few ways, that bud looks like its way too dried out, try putting it in a bag with a lemon to rehydrate it a little bit.

[RedFury]

its hard looking at a picture that has nothing to size it up but from the picture thats def. not an 1/8 (3.6 Gs).

[Closet Smoker]

does not sound like you know your size/to weight then, now do you? an eighth is 3.5

[khoa]

maybe indica? test it out and tell us. too bad for 65 an eighth, you're definitely not gonna get your money back. my caretaker lets me return anything that i don't like.

[loco06]

damn dude, first time ever buying weed befoe?

[big smoke07]

That could easily be an 8th. Im only reguarding the quality of the weed. 65 for that quality of weed is crazy. You've just started though and hopefully learned your lesson. You'll learn as things go along. Just start paying more attention whenever your around people who have been smokin for a while. Happy Tokin.:rasta:

[Kindbud]

65$ is a little steep, ask dude whats up next time if the price or quality of bud doesn't change.Looks like some righteous smoke though, happy tokes

[conch420]

yeah man i pay at least 1/2 that for a 1/8 you got ripped it dosent matter what strain of pot it is, you should never pay 65 an 8th thats a joke

[MaryjaneAndHashley]

wow...65!!

imo even for the states it sounds silly

yea and the refund thing made me lol.

[conch420]

lol yeah its not wallmart were dealing with

[PatrickHenry]

65 might be cool for that depending on where you live. it looks dank to me, i don't see any seeds. where i live that's easily worth 65.

[Matt the Funk]

Yeah. That is worth 65 here in LA, depending on the quality. Looks like you might have gotten ripped a little, but pretty much all dealers rip everyone off.

[conch420]

wow thats definately gotta suck..i got real nice bud right now im only payin like 35 an 1/8, thats like expensive to me

[JeenYuss]

does not sound like you know your size/to weight then, now do you? an eighth is 3.5

the dealers i go thru sell 8ths like 3.6-8 but its slightly more then 3.5 cuz an o aint 28G's its 28.3somethin somethin LIP scolded us all in another thread for that lmao...

[nikweiser]

get a scale

[wrasler]

dunno about being ripped off. where i grew up, 60 was normal for an eighth, course everything was the dank. color of the buds is junk, but it looks dense to me, tho. its hard to really know how good weed is unless you handle it in person.

[khoa]

do you live in hawaii by any chance. prices are almost like that over there

[Nochowderforyou]

Return it? :p Ha ha! Dealers aren't retail stores bro. Once you exchange money for a bag, deal is done and if you don't like it, you have to either live with it and smoke it, or sell it.

Either way, $65 for an 1/8 is just silly for any kind if pot, so in my opinion, yes, you got ripped off. Hash for that price...ehhhh, maybe, well, maybe, but for weed? Nah.

[konqrr]

First of all, that looks like a legit 1/8th. You got ripped off but its no big deal, it happens when youre new. If he tried to sell you the bud "in a rush" meaning in some crowded area where you cant inspect/ weigh out the bud, dont buy it. Tell him to meet you in an area that you can examine the bud in. When youre examining it, pcik up a decently sized bud and see if its fluffly, if it is, thats a good thing. Next, rub it inbetween your fingers, if you get a powdery white substance on them, thats really good. The more of that substance there is, the better the bud is. Make sure there arent any seeds and stems if youre going to pay that price. Oh, and make sure the bud has nice hairs, a dark orange color. And NEVER pay extra for "purple" bud. Alot of times dealers try to sell poorly grown bud for more, by passing it off as "purple haze". Dont buy this bullshit. Until you start smoking more, dont buy purple bud for an increased price. And dont ever let your dealer pressure you, NEVER. If youre a little guy then bring along a knife or something, but never ever let your dealer pressure you.

[lil josh]

you cannot say thats not an 8th as theres nothing to compare it to, for all we know those buds could be like 5 inches wide and 9 inches long on a A3 sheet of paper.

the weed dont look to good tho

[Web Smoker]

depends where u are if i just want a 8th i pay 65 but its of this

im guessing its mostley indica cause its dense and sativa is usually loose and shit lol

but i ususally get a oz which is 450 400

[Blunt420]

Dude i just picked up a 1/4 of an OZ. of sum good shit for 60$ you payed more for less

[rottenPauL]

dont let anybody know your a noob. Ask around and check the prices berofe you buy weed. Dont buy from the first dealer you find, many want to rip you off. I wouldnt pay more than 5euro/g for what you got. Meaning that your 8th should have costed less than 30$. Watch out next time

[suhl]

hahahahhahaha

[Spills]

Bummer. I thought I had some pretty good shit. The buds are dense which I guess would make it indica. I didn't notice any white power. Shit, maybe I'll try to sell it for the same price to some kids.
Here's a scaled picture.

[Kindbud]

It looks like it weighs to me,the weed looks good but for 65 you should get what Web Toker posted ,which is around what I pay for primo commercial or straight from a buddy..conch,clamchowder,and Blunt420, he told us that he was new guys. He obviously doesn't have the connections we do,RATHER canadians !?!rofl,don't compare weed quality / prices to that of canadas.I think you got stiffed 15 bucks , no biggie, like I said,it's still sensi . Blaze on

[Kindbud]

60$

[Kindbud]

ok ,third time works like a charm:spam1:

[IllusionalFate]

You did get ripped off, but you'll learn as you go on. A few words of advice:

1) kongrr said "rub it inbetween your fingers, if you get a powdery white substance on them, thats really good". This is very untrue. Being unexperienced, you may mistake unwanted shit in your weed as trichomes (what kongrr was referring to). Not to mention, this procedure is pointless as the trichomes aren't easily visible when you rub them off a bud.

2) Look at the Cannabis Pictures board, and read what people say about the buds posted. This will give you a good idea of what good bud should look like.

[hempplaya]

i normally pay 35-45 an 1/8 depending on how good it is

[Closet Smoker]

lol oh really my bud is always full of White Power...:p

[Spills]

Well, if I can't get I refund I'm going to make an anonymous phone call to the police and tell them he is a drug dealer.
Is this the right course of action or should I just forget about it and not deal with him again?
Or should I buy from him again but this time negotiate a fair/price/quality/quanity?
I would rather just get his ass busted. haha

Well, I think its not untrue. Not too many people try to pass off mids as dank by putting shredded glass or something in it. If they did they wouldnt get too many buyers. The reason I say this is because they dont know who is a newbie and whos not, so word on the streets would spread easily about the dealer not being legit. Not to mention the possibility of the dealer being beat down for making an extra $20. Its just too much trouble. So thats why I say that. And even though they are not easily visible, you can easily feel them stick to your fingers.

No. Just go up to him and tell him what he gave you was shit for that price and if he doesnt give you better prices hes going to get jumped. make sure hes not the type of person that carries a gun though...

Or just find a new dealer. I fucking hate dealers that rip off newbies. I charge the same price for everyone, except close friends.

[rottenPauL]

wtf??? you gonna rat a dealer for rippin you off????? Im not worried why you got ripped man... and in fact you are the idiot who paid the money. You could have said no when he said it was 65 for an 8th. So there is nothing to do, just smoke what you bought and chill out, whats done is done, and if you want to "punish" him, just dont buy from him again. Simple as that. Calling the cops???? Get outta here!

Help me I am a noob and would like to learn.Yes you got ripped off. The standard price for kind is $50 and 1/8th. I refuse to pay more. The bud looks pretty good from what I can see in the picture, but yes you did get ripped off. $65 for an 1/8th is too high. I would advise that you try someone else. Drug dealers sometimes like to take advantage of people because some are assholes who probably sell hard drugs. An old dealer of mine who kept blowing me off said he didn't make money off of weed and so he had to get it from his friend or something.

But anyway, don't pay that much. Either keep paying the inflated price if you must have the weed, or you could start looking around for another dealer which can be difficult. If you want, drop me an email and I can talk to you about this problem. [email protected]

[mfqr]

That looks to me like it could be an 1/8th. And yes, you got ripped off. Don't worry though. You could just sell the shit to someone for the same price, and rip someone else off, or you could smoke it, and forget about it. The next time you buy, make sure to only pay $50 at MAX for an 1/8th, and only if it's dank. You'll get the hang of it. Do not snitch on the dude... that is lame. You got yourself into the mess, remember that. Plus, if people found out that you snitched, you will have a much harder time buying any weed (even if it's anonymous, things like that tend to get out from time to time--do not do it... at all). Plus, think of it from his point of view. Sure, he fucked you over, but he's trying to make money. Big legal corporations are no different.

[big smoke07]

Snitches die ugly.

[2600HERTZ]

IDK, this shit looks almost like brick to me. I mean from that pick it is awefully brown.

[Spills]

alright everyone, thanks for your input. I guess I can call this a learning experience for me so next time I'll be better prepared.
1. 65 is too much for an 1/8
2. Meet in a place where I have time to inspect the weed no matter how hard it is to open the bag
3. smell, denseness, color are all things to take in account
4. white powder can be good or bad or not there at all
5. look for hairs
6. If ripped off, don't call the cops, settle it yourself

Thanks all, I feel like I could smuggle a 100 lb purchase right now

[hewhispers]

You want to snitch on a guy because YOU agreed to pay the price he asked?

WEAK

Maybe he ripped you off because he knew you were such a pussy.

[konqrr]

Well, let me be more specific about "the white powder". This "powder" is trichomes on the weed, it is something that grows on it narutally during the flowering state of the plant. The trichomes contain the most THC in the plant, which is what gets you high. So in, basicly, the more trichomes your weed has, the better. The reason I said to rub your fingers on the weed is because its might be too dark in the area Im in to tell whether there are alotta trichomes on the weed. Also, its hard to tell just by looking at it.

The 1/8th that you bought could be put to good use by making brownies out of it.

If I were you I just wouldnt say anything to the dealer or talk to him again.

[konqrr]

WEAK

Maybe he ripped you off because he knew you were such a pussy.

It was his first time and he didnt know how to deal with it, so calm down. If someone really fucked me over (not by $20, but by like $100) they would wish I would have called the cops on them.

Oh, by the way, which state do you live in Spills?

[hewhispers]

Firstly he's not a child. He entered into a transaction unprepared and uneducated. That was his choice.

Secondly...obviously he thought it was worth $65 to him at the time, because he willingly gave his money away. Again....his choice.

Then to even think about snitching over a volunteered transaction truly irks me. No one here knows if he was ripped to begin with. You need to know where he is, what he was sold and the weight. We already know that its probably indoor grow because it was seedless (I think). And if it was indoor, and being peddled, it was probably hydro, which typically is perceived to be more expensive and quicker to grow.

And if this dealer is looking for repeat business, he's not going to rip anyone off unless he saw our dear friend for what he was.

Killing a supplier based on the information of a first time buyer?
I dont think so.

[Kindbud]

IDK, this shit looks almost like brick to me. I mean from that pick it is awefully brown.

I've never seen so many trichomes,catalyxes,or fresh cut stems on schwag in that case.. Look closer ,no need to slam his bag.It's decent smoke, get high.:rasta:

[Spills]

I'm in Michigan btw.
The smoke wasn't bad. It was definitely an indica high. It went down smooth, but the intense body feel didn't last too long after smoking it. only about an hour. The next four hours were relaxing on a couch eating and watching tv. Everything was really funny and comfortable.
Overall it was one of the better smokes I've had in my limited experience.
I only smoked a bowl to myself of this stuff to achieve this affect, powerful, a lot left, but not worth 65 I think.

[Mosiah]

Hey! I am new to the whole pot smoking thing. I just bought some bud from a guy I don't really know, so I don't know if he is trusworthy or not.

Was I ripped? Can you tell if it is indica or sativa? Maybe what strain?
Is it even an eighth?

Help me I am a noob and would like to learn.

Owned. That almost looks like shwag...

To keep this as constructive as possible.. Never tell somebody you are buying from you don't know your shit. When I was a weed noob, I acted like I knew exactly what I should be getting for my money (and really, I did.. I researched a lot.) but the point is, if you show someone your weakness, they will try to exploit it unless you're dealing with a fair friend.

[Kindbud]

holy shit man, just like the other dude. Schwag doesn't have trichomes,fresh cut stems,isn't even buds for that matter. You dudes are all just slammin him as much as possible cause he said he was new ..no need for slamming mosiah,freaking joker.

[NewGrow2]

You got ripped off, hopefully your taking that back. and getting your money back...but of course if your lazy like me I would just roll and giant blunt of that and set your mind straight. I get stuff like that for $25 an 1/8 where I'm from...I have hook ups but still...I probably wouldnt pay more than $30 for that

Here is a little tip on things to look for to tell if its worth the buy
1.] Smell [you can smell real good bud without opening the bag]
2.] The Look [Look for hairs...orange...yellow...ect., also the color of the actual weed is important...more light green personally I think the better but I've had some dark green nug that was very nice too.] Another thing is look for the THC Crystals...and also how sticky it is


Keep smokin' bro it will take you no time at all to figure out what is good and whats not:rastasmoke:

[twocamaros]

Depending where you live. You may or may not have been ripped off.. where im from thats actaully about right give or take.

[Villui]

put it in a bag with a orange peal dont let it touch the buds, leaveit for like 2-3 days = moister orange smelling buds

[mackSwell]

I agree with lil josh - How the hell are you folks even debating whether or not it is an eighth when there is no size reference (let alone any way to judge the density via photo)? What are you, high?

Oh. Never mind then. *grin*


Spills -Put a coin in the photo to give us an idea of size.

According to this thread:

http://boards.cannabis.com/recreational/99722-prices.html

...it seems like a lot of folks are saying about $60 for an 1/8th is common near them. So it doesn't sound like you did so bad in that regard.

Smoke it and judge the quality then.

[CheebaMan]

looks good to me

[Spills]

hmm, i need a new dealer...

[notransfer]

i was gonna say indica...that shit looks like the couch lock munchy kinda stuff..ive had stuff like that a ton in my past..looks just like that i dont know why the one person said it look middy and you got ripped off...65 is steep id pay 40-45 for that im in ny...the sativa type stuff i had was purple ive only had it once it seems the majority of stuff is body high rather than head at least in terms of what ive picked up in my times..the purple was like stringy and smelled like flowers..the high almost felt psychedelic..made us all have lots of energy and close to racing thought processes...most ive had just chills you out though..makes ya feel heavy.
