Really! I know he looks like a nutcase but it actually is very good advice!

You are new to the game and there is a learning curve so keep your purchases small until you know the ropes a bit.

Its hard to judge the wt of bud by eye because the density is so variable. I used to buy 1/8ths mail order and they were a bit bigger than a pack of kingsize rolling papers. But I just got some dense hydro that makes a mush smaller package.

Spend $50 on good weed - if you havent a tolerance this will get you very stoned 5-10 times. Its typical for the price per gram to go up as the wt goes down. Ask the dealer what wt he is giving for $50 and weigh it when you get home. If its short then put the cost down to your education and next time tell the dealer that the weight was short last time and this time you want a square deal. Once he knows he cant bullshit you he wont try - he makes a good profit from you anyway.

Even if you can blow $100 w/o worrying - dont let the dealer know that - make him think you are tight with your money - he will treat you better.
