there has been a bit of a shortage of good quality weed in my area, and some dealers are trying to make the most of it by upping the prices,a couple of mates were told £25 an 1/8 or £160 on the oz, saying weed prices are increasing everywhere, this is bullshit as i have asked a well connected person whos friends bring in 80% of the weed into this area.i'm paying £120 on the oz, don't let these greedy bastards increase the price use another dealer if possible:thumbsup:
I'm paying $450-$600 an oz depending on strain.
I could buy some mids at $120 an oz or regular beasts at $300 an oz, but I'd rather pay more for better quality, better tasting shit. It isn't worth the downgrade. Years ago, I'd never imagine paying the prices I am, but I am.
Its called supply and demand... the lower the supply, the higher the prices. Its all layed out in Business 101
$450-$600/oz... you're kidding right? I've smoked alot of the top quality strains out there and I dont even think they're worth that much. The most I'm paying for anything is 400/oz anything over than that is just the dealer throwing his tax on it. I pay for weed.. not ppls ridiculous taxes. I guess you live somewhere where it is extremely hard to find good weed because that's too much.Quote:

Again, I wish I could pay less, but that's what the price is and it's dictated by the individual based on the market. If your a dealer, you are cool but you are selling your shit for $400 an oz with his tax. If he hears that some people paid $500 for it, what motivation does he have for keeping it at $400? The only reason I can think of is to be cool and principles. But how many people really do that?Quote:

I'm sure this same weed, 2 hours away you'll be able to get easily for $300 an OZ. Works just like cigarettes, some places it's $3 a pack, some places it's $8 a pack. I just happen to live in an area where 1. A lot of singles 2. Most with good jobs and making lots of money 3. Who want to party. We also got one of the most anal police forces in the nation. I used to laugh when I heard stories of people paying $600 for an oz of weed. Now I don't, not at all.
what exactly is this weed tax? I hear about it a lot, especially from my hook up when his prices go up. Says his guy taxed him. Never really got what that meant
dude charging more for himself, imagine a king wanting something, so he taxes his town peeps
Yeah prices are still $400 and up for an OZ here, if your lucky you can get em down to $320, but their usualy shit or mids or even from the bottom of the plant. I cant get over you guys paying so little, here medical is legal and prices are insane, thats life
I can get top quality herb in Washington for about 280-320 an ounce depending on various things.
Getting 'taxed' simply just means he was charged more or price was increased.

Exactly....tokers buy, growers water.Quote:

But lets say you are an average Joe living here in sweden. Then you will almost always smoke Maroccan standard and that is a brown hash that can be good but most of the time it isn't.
$60-70 and here MJ is always sold in 5g and that's less than a quarter for you. The green is about $10 up from that.

You guys are in England right?? Crazy that the prices between the UK and Ireland are so different. 100 euros for a quarter of variable quality weed in ireland. 350 Euros an ounce...
Whos old school and can remember a lid going for 40 us and it would be at least 4 fingers those were the good old days.

I don't have any real contacts so growing is the best option.
Plan to give lots away as well. Lots of people on tighter budgets with the economic slowdown. Could use a few extra smiles too . So spread the good word.
got that beat, :D ... we paid $15 for lids (ounces), 1965-1967 ... I still remember when the Columbian Gold flooded the streets of Peoria, and bumped it to $20, boy, was I pissed :wtf: ... took a couple more years to hit $30 - $35 ... :smokin:Quote:

Otherwise the options in this rural area (other than knowing other growers) are "hydro" from quebec, which is a fairly steady supply of rock hard nuggets of mids touted as "hydro, man". It's hard to break up and even with a grinder it's too hard to roll a joint that doesn't 'canoe'. Cost is around $300, I think. Of course many (usually younger) people are in totally different social circles and you can hear about a little 'fire' like Jack Herer or similar from the univercity or big city for $400 and up. AK-47 wass going for $400 but the grower found peeps in Conn. willing to pay $700. Must be outrageous good stuff, huh? :wtf:
Shov
I pay about $275-290 for a Oz of quality bud and charge $20/$40 to friends ........but I am not in it for $ anymore, it just keeps the price down for all of us. :rastasmoke:
