gonna need some size reference to be able to determine how big the bag is, etc. but if all the buds are about the size as the one shown in your hand, then it looks to be about right.
Unless thats very compact bud, that bag should be full. If it's compact then thats about right. If your happy with it, then it's not a rip off.
Maybe you should get some scales - then you'll know the exact amount.
It could be an 1/8. The thing is, it's hard to tell because of the range of water weight bud can hold. If that is an 1/8, then I would say that bud is not properly dried and cured. If you don't understand the importance of water weight, allow me to illustrate. MY bro picked up a solid O, and weighed the next day; it was suddenly a full gram shorter. That's $14.28 that just disappeared into thin air. A lot of times a distributer will move buds that haven't been properly dried and cured because they weigh more, even a LOT more, to make more money, and everyone down the chain loses because of the schmuck tryin' to make an extra buck. At best you can refuse to buy wet bud, or ask for a little extra to compensate, but gooood luck. The best quick method to determine if a bud's dry enough is to break the stem. If it doesn't break easily and snap, it's good to go. In the end it's up to you and whether or not you want the bud.
Bud loses about 80 - 85% of weight when dried and cured properly.
is that one of those tiny ziplock bags?
are u serious i would pay 10 for that its a tiny little bag, probably weighs a gram, ask for some more next time and call him out
Bud doesn't look bad, but I wouldn't pay $50 for it though.
How big is that bag about? Like 2 inches x 2 inches or so...? ? ?
It's hard to say without a size ref. That bag could be any size. I have ones about 1.5x1.5 inches square, and they barely fit a gram, so hopefully yours is much bigger than that.
An 1/8 is 3.5grams. :) Get a scale to know for sure.
That doesn't look anywhere close to an 8th.
looks closer to a half eighth to me
Not even close to an 8th man find a new dealer
dude thats a gram if your lucky, a little more. theres no effin way thats even half of a 1/8. cant exactly tell how good it is by the blurriness but it really doesnt even look good at all. im sorry you got playyyyyyyyyed. a 1/8 is 3.5 grams. to determine a 1/8, think of the diameter of a playing card sidewards with nuggets layin across all over it. but yeah some buds weigh more than others but if its dried it should look even more if it was scaled out.
also..if you paid 50 for a 1/8 you better be getting some dank bud. if u cant see an abundance of visible crystals, and a strong potent smell to it..its most likely not high grade.
Here, ill post a pic of what i get 1/8 for 20$. I actually got this (almost 3 grams for 10$ today). This is what reggs/regulars are called around here, it ain't bad. Obviously it's not 3 grams but just an example of what the bud looks like
The buds could be dense, it looks short of an 8th, i would assume 2.9 at most.
dude, that's a 20 bag easy not even filled half way small ass buds are you kidding?? no more than a gram
You sound like an amature. You obviously dont understand how to take other factors into concideration, like the moistness or density. You are not there. You cant see it or feel it. Those buds could be ROCK hard for all you know. The could be soaking wet. Who knows? NO ONE can acurately guess weight of plant matter from a picture. Only by size, and size means nothing.Quote:

amature my ass. look at the buds. ok lets say if they are condense (which they really dont look like) how much could the scale possibly go up? a gram? still 1.5 off. that's a weak ass 1/8 all i'm saying. look at the size of it. yeah, cant really tell exactly in the picture but we can assume, can we not? all i know is that's not 3.5 grams
You can assume, but why? It means nothing.Quote:

tear 'em up lol LIP's been doin this for a lil bitQuote:

That would be an eighth of pancake.
It would be a gram and a half or so of fluffy closet-weed.
My spidey sense says the true value is somewhere between 2 and 3g. That doesn't look like pancake, and if it's 3.5 with buds looking non-compressed like that, it's got to be wet to achieve that weight, and will lose some in drying.
it doesnt really look like an eighth to me, but who knows, like lip says theres too many factors that can change the weight. Get a scale. period.
yeah and the bag is like 2x2 inches... ill just find a new guy
1/8 = 3.5g? My dealer sells to me 1/8 at 3.8g for an even $40. Or I can buy two dubs at 4.2g for $40 from him so I always go with that. Since I'm getting an extra .4g for no price/quality/anything difference.Quote:

from what I can tell by those pics you got ripped off. I'm not to sure though, get better pics.
You maybe have 2.5 grams :thumbsup:
opps delete me
On first glance, it looks to be about 0.5-1g but then Lip does have a point so it was a pointless question (sorry randyfan01 man!) to ask, and any answers are just pure guesswork. I don't know whether you paid $50 or £50 but if it's the latter then unless it's some special funky super sh*t, where one drag is enough to f'k you up, I feel you got ripped off.
Having said all that, I wouldn't say "No" to that right now as I recently moved to a new area of the UK and have no contacts here yet so not had any puff for what seems like an eternity. grrrrrrrrrr m-u-s-t h-a-v-e s-m-o-k-e s-o-o-n :)
