$450 for strawberry cough?

[hewhispers]

i live in nyc area and a friend of mine just dropped $450 for an oz.
isn't that a bit ridiculous?

i don't buy so i am openly clueless about the market
but even here (nyc) that seems nuts.

am i wrong?

[jaGerbom]

lol yes that is extremely nuts

i once payed 350 for an ounce but thats the most....and that ounce went to other people as i got richer....if u kno wut i mean...so i felt fine doing it.

but yeah either thats the best weed in the world (doubtful) or ur friend got hecka ripped

[hewhispers]

he knows better than i.
he's been buying for the last 10 yrs.
i think its a trend thing than a quality/avail. thing
the nice thing about nyc is that you can ask for anything and actually get it.....if you have the $$$

Man my friends were talking about paying $50 an 1/8th in Indiana and NY for good shit. I don't doubt prices get really insane there for quality bud. I mean USD$50 is more than double what I pay here, CAD$25 so if you can pay over CAD$200 an oz here I don't doubt they get over USD$400 there.

It's not a rip if it really is the Kyle Kushman Strawberry Cough. Pounds of OG Kush go for $6000 in SoCal, so it's not shocking to see an area with a similar expensive standard of living with similar pot prices. Also, delivery services in NY purportedly sell 2 grams for $60, which is way more out of line than your friend's purchase...

I think you have hit the nail on the head.
I've heard of prices like that for excellent quality ganj, and I know NYC is higher than where I live, so that is not hard to believe.
I mean, in New York, girlies will shell out $200 for a pair of shwanky designer jeans... there's always a market for luxury if the market is big enough!
Although IMO ... strawberry cough? For that cash I would be after something a little more classic and less trendy. I know for a fact that around here SAGE retails for $400 an ounce, often without the ounce discount.

I live in indiana and $50 and 1/8 is norm for good quality. It sucks that it isnt around here all the time though...

There is; I used to grow it... kind of a delicate twitchy plant that didn't like my setup (high temps) at ALL and then the dog ate my mother plant and put her out of her misery.
Flavor like strawberry cough syrup. Too trendy.

Strawberry Cough is a true Dutch Passion creation.

I am sure that there are many who thought they were paying for a "premium" flavor and got something of less quality and didnt know the difference.

The true Strawberry Cough is not the one from Dutch Passion. It's a Strawberry Fields x Haze. The Dutch Passion line came out when Strawberry Cough started gaining in popularity, and they tried to capitalize on the name. If you haven't had the KK Strawberry Cough, then you haven't had it at all...

my bad but that chances of him getting strawberry cought are slim to none in the us

[hewhispers]

LiquidMagik - thanks for the history lesson.

Web Smoker - thats the problem with there are so many strains out there.
How do you really know what you're getting, from seed to smoke?
Very few are that well versed.

$200? i guess you're not from the city ;)

Funny this just got bumped up... an old friend stopped by with some strawberry cough only a couple days ago.
And yes, it's real; do you think Stinky would end up with misidentified buds? lol I'm sure, or I'd just call it headies.
I actually don't really like it. The berry flavor is way too subtle to warrant the name IMO. And this stuff.... I got the impression it was not done curing... it was unusually harsh, even by strawberry cough standards, which is that it is pretty darn powerful and no matter how small a hit I take, I STILL always end up coughing like a noob!!!
Anyway.

[green_gardenr]

its real!!! first time i heard my buddy had a clone growing in his closet next was when another friend got 2 strawberry cough clones hes got em outdoor due to bad timing they are flowering right now and u can tell the diff between those and the sour diesel he has i thought i cloned a sour d plant when they were vegging but now i see they are in bud and im pretty sure the clone i have in my 70 watt speaker cab is strawberry

[twocamaros]

thats not bad.. ud could charge 600+ an oz where i live.. its by NYC

ahaha oh yea.. i dont pay those prices.. but i know plenty of people that do

ARRAFG!!! I wanted to say that :beatdeadhorse:

lol that grower dude was like the best thing in that movie lmao!!

and the ending was just crap!

[Buddahbear]

Do you realize in NYC the best buds go up for 1,000$ an Ounce? 450 is harsh for sure but if it's good buds like strawberry cough it might be worth it. As far as paying for good buds go 450/o is not that bad at all though. Make sure you smoke it first before you buy it to be sure.

[PHATTY LUMPKINS]

Living in the N.W. I have always been able to get premeium smoke the majority of the time. It's about 400 oz But i have seen it go for 60 an eigth also. dont like to smoke that brick shit so me and the ole lady do what we have to do.:D

[herbaltivo]

I just picked up 2 beautiful little rooted clones of some lovely Strawberry Cough. I can't say for sure which set of "strawberry cough" genetics they are from but they're perkin' up for sure. They were the smallest of the bunch but good things come to those that wait.

Picked up a pair of Master Kush and one each BC Chronic I & III. I love the co-op...
