New Dealer = new methods. Can someone help me?

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

I've used the same handful of dealers since I started smoking about ten years ago. Two have stopped selling MJ and have moved on to harder stuff, one stopped selling all together, and unfortunately my last reliable supplier landed in jail a few weeks ago and has decided he is going to lay low for a while. A nonsmoking friend hooked me up with her cousin to get some MJ. Now, the guy does have good quality stuff, he gave his cousin a J for me to sample, and I was impressed. Nice 50/50 high. You've got just enough couch lock going on, but there is still an evident cerebral element to the stone. I'm definitely going to be doing business with him. My problem is this. All my dealers in the past have dealt in eighths, quarters, halves, and full ounces. This new guy deals in grams. Now, I know that 1 ounce equals around 28 grams correct? Now usually I only buy ounces so I have a good amount on hand, but this guy's prices are a bit steeper than I'm used to which means I'll have to buy smaller quantities. I know quite a few of you are used to dealing in this type of measurements. Would one of you be a dear and post a pic of like 5 grams of bud with a bic or zippo lighter next to it as scale reference so I can start to get a better understanding of grams and how to gauge at a glance whether or not I'm getting ripped off on purchases? I leave my money with his cousin and he leaves my order with her when he visits her every week, so I'm never there to see him weigh it out and I don't have a set of scales of my own. Which reminds me, I really do need to get another digi scale. My puppy got ahold of the old one and really did a number on it. LOL Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

NEVER go by sight alone..........buy a new scale. When ya find a new hook it's always best to bring yours with and do a weigh right in front of them.....just keeps everyone honest.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

usually a 10 bag...stuffed...= about 1 g

if you think about 28 single gs if you were going to buy an o i dont have to tell you the thing you already know which is its going to be unusually Steep of a price...

ask him if he can hook you up for 8ths instead of gs

i had a dealer way back when i was in highschool and he sold gs for 15...

if we wanted 8ths hed give us exactly 3gs of nugget for 45...

to him..3 gs at 15$ a pop was an 8th

try to get him to give you 3 and a 1/2 for a discount on each gram
(where people buying a quarter would get a discount on each 8th?)

these are the things im thinking about..

like if a g is 15 get 3.5 for 45...rather than 3 for 45...ask him to hook you up convince you will be a good 'client'...or a regular 'client' and youre good for it so he can afford to throw a level extra half g..at...calc.....12 a g instead of 15?

if he sells by grams and your looking to get more than one, maybe 2 dont bother.
round here it 15-20 g 50 1/8th 100 1/4 so if you were getting a 1/4 it would cost 20 extra

[notransfer]

round here it 15-20 g 50 1/8th

thats the roughness of the g deals...with my guy from in the day if i wanted an exact 8th it would cost 45+7.50..

...52.50....

im used to 35-40....possibly 45-50 if its real exotic or somethin

The way he sells his is in five gram increments in these little plastic cubes. It's weird because I'm not used to that. Personally I think using that kind of packaging drives the price up and is a waste of money. At least the weed is high quality. Better than I was getting in fact, and it takes less of it to get me stoned. Thanks for the advice guys. Especially you notransfer. The way you explained it made a hell of a lot of sense and will be very useful.

Oh I forgot to tell you, the 5g cubes are $60.

Oh I forgot to tell you, the 5g cubes are $60.

5 grams of great stuff for 60? Fucking worth it man.

[1chronic]

Fuck yeah, that's only 10 - 20 more then I would pay for it and I live in Canada.

[1234abcd]

hybrids are nice, so are indicas (kush) and sativas (silver haze)
