Reg vs Dank

answer to your question: technically the 4 bowls should get you "higher" than the 1 but the high off 4 bowls of schwag is going to typically be a VERY slow stone and any high you get off it will most likely be cloudy and confusing. 1 bowl of mid or nugs is going to be a clearer high, depending on the strain of course, usually than schwag highs so it comes down to personal preference.

I personally am not a huge fan of the slow, tired, cloudy stone I get off schwag, I'll smoke it if everything else is dry but only as a last resort and typically only for free (plus my boss will sell me an o for 60 so I can get it if I need it). the clear, much more powerful high of chronic is just too good to pass up even if it costs me 8x as much proportionately.

See that's the thing, though - it isn't schwag IMO. The seeded stuff is, as I mentioned in the OP, pretty decent stuff. It's certainly not the most potent stuff - not by a long shot - but it is good enough to where if I smoked 4 good sized bowls, I would be SUPER blazed and would be seeing some crazy visuals in my mind. 2 is usually enough for quite a few hours. It's not a slow body stone - it is clearly a vivid sativa high and it doesn't make you tired really.

I only smoke (tobacco ....of course ;)) once or twice a week, and to top it off, I'm really skinny, so it doesn't take much for me even though I've been smoking for years.

I would say it is comparing high-end seeded to low-end seedless. Cuz see here, people will pay that much extra for the seedless regardless of how good it is. In their minds, seedless automatically equals "chronic" or "dank" and seeded automatically equals "mersch" or "reg". For the same price people in AZ pay for the low end seedless, people in Cali are paying the same for top-grade stuff, so maybe that's where the discrepancy of opinion is coming from.

Yeah, it depends on the quality. If the only difference is that the "dank" is seedless then it's a rip-off, if it's real killer shit that's different. Around here seeded commercial pot goes $80 an oz, $20 a gram would be about right for a name strain. But since those come around only rarely and I have mile after mile of fertile soil outside my door... On the advice of my attorney, I just leave it at that.

to answer your bowl question, 4 bowls of regs would def get you higher than the single bowl of dank. but, the quality of the high is better in the dank. also, dank is generally a smoother smoke. regs to me looks dirty compared to the fresh looking dank. if you enjoy the high of the reg, go for the reg, its more bang for your buck.

i can't smoke anything but dank nugs or headies anymore. i guess 4 bowls of mids would get you higher than 1 bowl of dank, but if that one bowl of dank is smoked out of a bong it might get you higher than mids. if i smoke 4 bowls of mids though i will feel tired, i might get a headache, and in 15 minutes i won't be high anymore. personal preference though, if you smoke 5 times a day or maybe more like i do, mids won't do the job anymore. but if they get you high, then it would make sense to get what is cheaper.

:) haha, right? I feel spoiled for living in the Bay. And SJ at the moment is going through some sort of purp shortage, and we're still smokin' it up compared to a lot of other places.

What part of AZ are you in? I actually live in phoenix and you've basically experienced what I have here.

I used to get mexi-brick weed, brown, smashed, tastes bad but would get me high after 2 bowls. Then started finding bomb reg for a while. Lots of brighter green stuff with red hairs, a lot of seeds though (moreso around november though). Sensimilla always sells for $20 here. Theres only been one case where i've seen sensimilla reg, just dont happen.

The reg here is bomb for reg, I used to get really high off 1-2 bowls of it but now I try to avoid it all together. Unless of course I want to roll a lot of blunts or made some weed food

BUT, there's a lot of name brand stuff here too, like 80% of it coming from cali. I've seen sugar shack, sweet tooth, juicy fruit, trainwreck, AK-47, Cali big bud, white widow, mango kush, afgani kush, bubba kush, texas bluberry, granddaddy purp, mackdaddy purp, lots of random purps, lambs bread, sour desiel, this is mainly the strains avalible when im lookin for namebrand stuff, definitly couldnt get them all at once, they tend to cycle through the year.

A lot of people will try and charge $25 a gram for name brand stuff and $70 an 1/8th. But thank god thats the most you would ever be spending. Thoes are some ass hat dealers but a lot of em here are like that. Unless your really close to them.

I've been thinking about buying reg again though, im tearing through chronic recently, especially since i got a lot of smoocher friends. They tore through my quad of mango kush in 3 days :(
I do notice the different high a lot more now though, thats really my only dilemma when buying reg.

I'm in Scottsdale. I can't find any sativa right now and I'm going INSANE. :(

indica is better than nothing i guess, but after a lot of sativa reg for so long, it's hard to go back to the indica dominant "stone" rather than "high".....i don't like it nearly as much

Rarely have I met anyone who mentions any sort of specific strain, and to be honest, barely any of it ever looks unique (i.e. colored hairs, white crystals, etc would be unique) so any distinction besides the ones I just gave don't really exist or apply here to any meaningful extent. Yes, the terms "reg" and "dank" are probably being misused somewhat in these contexts, but that's the lingo around here and people understand what you mean if you say it.

You can get an ounce of reg for $60. The stuff doesn't suck, either, it's actually pretty damn decent (or so I'm told ;) lol).

Grams of dank are $20 and eighths (3.5 grams) are $60. To make things simple, let's say an ounce would go for $240.

Using those prices, seedless is 4x more expensive IF you're buying in ounces, and that is using a fairly cheap price I'm assigning to it too for this little hypothetical scenario here. It could be upwards of 5 or 6 times more expensive easily in reality. However, everyone knows that the higher the quality of bud, the less you need to get blazed. So now it becomes a number game to see which is the better bang for your buck.

SO, in your opinions, can one bowl of dank get you HIGHER than four bowls (or even 5-6 bowls) of reg? Keep in mind that the type of "dank" I'm referring to is probably no well-known strain and is probably what most of you would consider just barely above mids - "generic chronic".

I dont know what part of AZ you get it from but when i get dro, I GET DRO i got connects to purp, sour diesel, kush whatever and i can definetly tell them apart

From the answers that were given, am I to understand that the high from better quality bud is better or different in some good way? So even if it doesn't get you proportionally as high, the high that you do have is better? If so, in what ways is it better? Describe the difference of highs basically.

As was mentioned, most of what AZ gets is sativa, so AZ mostly gets "head highs" rather than "body stones", which I think is better anyways. I used to be big proponent of the chronic-only crowd, but after seeing over and over how much more one could get with reg and doing a little numbers game like I showed above, I'm definitely starting to question/change my stance. Enlighten me.

Yeah its 20 a gram and alot of dealers skimp on the gram but not my connects. Dro is good on the weekends but the reggie in phoenix will get you just as high as any average dro will so most of the time im good wit reg, though theres times where u just wanna smoke some high quality ish ya know

Hmm, well, I'm in Texas, so this probably won't help much. Here, dro can be anything from generic chronic to really fresh, very green prime bud, and depending on how good it is, it's either $50-60 for an eigth of an ounce. When I smoke it (especially if I smoke too much), I end up with verrry trippy body sensations, feeling like there are disks rolling on their sides all throughout my body, usually end up couchlocked and passed out.

In Austin, it's really hard to find shwag. Currently, I know someone with a stellar hookup at the moment, and what that boils down to is getting really good, green shwag with little to no seeds for $20/ounce. It gets me so high on my new bong, but it's more of a head high/giggly few hours.


Sooooo............ at the moment, I'm going for 3 ounces of shwag ($60) and an 1/2 ounce of dro (for about $200, which is a reallllly good deal around here.) I like to mix the two, honestly... when I smoke, it's always 2 bowls of shwag on my bong, and then *maybe* half a bowl of the good stuff if I really need it.
