Reg vs Dank

[The White Monk]

Out here in AZ, we generally experience two "kinds" of bud - "reg" and "dank". Reg being bud with seeds and dank being the seedless sticky. 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".

Thats the same way weed is around here too.

:stoned:

Sorry... to elaborate on your actual question.

I feel a different high when i smoke the better quality "dank" as you put it from around here. 1 blunt passed between 3 heads and a few bong hits gets me set for well over an hour.

1 FAT blunt passed between 3 heads gets me a nice high for about.. 30 minutes.

So.. my highs just last longer depending on the quality. I guess it all cares on HOW MUCH you wanna smoke.

((if what im saying makes no sense, im sorry, im high))

Personally I only smoke dank weed. It's a better high imo.

[RaoulDuke45]

theres a dig difference between the highs, but i dont think its always worth it, it least not on the regular

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Buy an Oz of "reg" and a few g's on "dank" ($100). Hit the dank in bowls, smoke the reg.

20 a gram?!? ouch that hurts just to read...

if i were you, i'd prolly buy two O's of the shitty stuff and go nuts with it. prolly make a pan of ultra-brownies with the first O and then grind up all the second O and make hash with the keif. then proceed to roll huge fat blunts with the rest of the ground up bud. all in all sounds like a pretty amazing time, especially since hash is better than almost any weed. 60 an eigth is steep though man, my eigths come at 40, 45 tops or else i wont buy it, unless its super dank and amazes me. really it depends on if my dealer smokes me up on it.

I think it's up to your personal high. If you are happy with the reg... roll blunts or something. I think this is sad. There are two general types of weed.. sativa and indica. These each have different effects. Then there are hundreds of strains with different combinations or unique effects. Also you can love them or try to grow fast and make money...which makes quality suffer usually. Sounds like you don't have a choice. I smoke organic sativa when doing active things or bieng creative, in the dank form this is a very euphoric 'up' high because the plants are grown in accordance with nature using no artificial chem's and have not been sexed so NO SEEDS. I usually smoke a blend with Indica when I want to STONE out and sit on the couch (this is the heavy stoner chill out high). Reg's do not pass into my lungs.... but like I said, I think it is personal preference. Also most reg's in your area are from Mexico and sure to be sativa dominant strains... these are regs because they are grown commercially with heavy duty fertalizers and pesticides, that is why it tars up so black and gooey with the resin left over. Good bud grown organic will leave just a dry grey ash in your bowl. Also I find sexed herb with seeds in it gives me a headache. I also believe there is an issue with the organization you support with what you buy. Mexican brick is usually criminal org's aka bad folks. Who knows what you are getting on the dank?? ...so if it works? Cool. I would say set up a closet and grow a plant or two on your own so you can start to see different types and what they do and not accidently support any unsavory criminal org. Just my opinion... hope it helps

I originally asked whether 4 bowls of reg will get you higher than 1 bowl of generic chronic. Is anyone of that opinion?

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.

I won't smoke anything but chron these days, we pull some very high end stuff through kc on a regular basis and I can get it for 60 an 8th on a regular basis. from what I can tell it sounds like what you're calling reg is what we'd call schwag and your dank is just mids or possibly low-end nug.

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.
