ya man idk i used to get some real nice beasters that actually smelled like weed lol, and actually got nice and high, but lately ive been getting this shit when i cant find heady shit, and man im smokin on some now and the taste is just terrible, taste like complete ass
People arent buying it out of desperation, they are buying it cause they want to smoke weed, and sorry to burst your bubbles, but this is weed. THis gets people high. If someone wants to smoke it they are going to, and to say that they are smoking out of desperation unjustified. To be so stuck up as to say that people who smoke beasters are any more desperate to get high than you are is ridiculous.
Beasters is great blunt weed, it's cheap, and it burns slowly because it is moist... u need a grinder or long ass fingernails though
Again, if someone sells it for the price of top quality weed and calls it dank, that's a different story. But alone, this is mid grade weed, period. It can't all be dank. Be angry with the dealer/grower, not the weed.
that's actually a pretty good point and undebatable.. that's just how supply and demand works very good point cole.Quote:

beast is low dank. In the south we have
1. Schwag-seedy, stemy, and dry.
2. Mids-some seeds, stemy, soft, few hairs and crystals
3. Beasters-no seeds, few stems, dense, tons of hairs, sometimes a lot of crystals
4. KB-no seeds, small stems, fluffy, hairy, covered in crystals.
Ahh.. like Beasters as a decoy so that the nOObs will buy up the pretty, yet crappy, weed and leave the solid mids for the rest of us! :DQuote:

glad im back on locally grown dro.
No, that really makes no sense whatsoever. The majority of beaster is sold at dank prices. Around 50 an 1/8th. If people stopped buying beasters, obviously the demand for something good would arise which in turn would make it more available and at a more reasonable cost. I honestly don't see how anyone can enjoy smoking it.Quote:

I'm not sure how obvious that is.Quote:

I consider the supply of bud to be somewhat constant. If beasters go away, the supply shrinks, and prices rise accordingly.
The way to get ris of dumb beasters is to legalize so that the supply of bud INCREASES and everyone has access to locals.
Well, the way I see it, if people take the knowledge from this thread, when they are offered beasters and charged $50 for an 8th, they can say "LOL, I'm not paying 50 for that, it's just beasters, that's not dank." and either get it for a lower price, or simply go to another dealer and get something they like. If everyone would do that, that would be preferable. People would become more educated on good cannabis, and may decide to grow their own top quality cannabis.
It's not as if the market depends on beasters. As my thread stated, beasters is shitty weed that isn't good for anyones health, and a waste of money. Why would anyone want to smoke that? Theres all other varieties of domestically and imported cannabis that aren't beasters. And if that's not good enough for you, then grow your own. But why keep on getting ripped off?

I'll try to explain this to you one last time...
...Beasters has it's own share of the marketplace. The price range is on average 40-50 an 8th. The exact numbers don't matter, b/c evertying is relative to your market. Back to the point. Beasters avgs. 40-50. This fits in between mids that cost 30-40 for a quarter, and KB that costs 55-70 for an 8th. You will have a constant amount consumers who spread their money over mids, beast, and KB. The beaster consumers are usually people who want something better than mids, but can't afford KB. This all leads to our current set of prices due to the level of consistant demand in todays market. If you remove beast from the marketplace, then mids and KB will be left. Being as how beast is a very popular type, a gaping hole is left between the other types. Now the demand for mids and KB has risen. Especially for KB since there is no bridge between that and mids. With a rise in demand comes the ability of dealers to raise their prices with no loss in business. Now we are all paying more for KB and mids instantly. There are two roads this will lead to. Either more commercial weed will spring up and the quality will be no better than beasters b/c commercial growers are in the game to make money. OR This doesn't happen and we're stuck paying 60-70 an 8th unless we know the grower.
Most likely, the first will happen. You CANNOT prevent subpar products when a vastly profitable marketplace exists for that product.
If you plan on owning a business one day, you're going to need to know A LOT about economics!
And I'll try to explain to you one more time: Beasters are SHIT, and mids are better, lol.
