Exactly!! Nothing like buying weed that comes with a label. "For medicinal use only. Not for Resale" LOL

I know what Dusan is saying though. Weed down here in the San Francisco area is expensive. We pretty much only get dank, chronic, or whatever you want to call it and prices are anywhere from $45-60 an 1/8th. But that has to do more with supply/demand and the fact that everything else around here is more expensive too. Prices are different in different areas, no doubt about it. And, prices for some high quality organic grown chronic will, and should be, higher than for schwagg. But I don't think that's what Dusan is talking about.

It's the whole strain-name game that a lot of dealers on the street have seized on to make a few extra bucks. I buy medical and, yes, there is a difference in the prices of the various strains. But it's only $10 or so more per 1/8th for something really special. And, because it's medical you can trust the source. I'm always seeing posts on here though that say something like "I normally pay $30 for an 1/8th of dank but my dealer says he has white rhino for $80, should I buy it?" . Chances are it's probably not really white rhino and not much better than the dank he usually has. Unless you're comparing the prices of shitty Mexican brown to some great chronic the prices shouldn't be doubled or more.

Unless your dealer routinely has different strains, and you know from experience that a higher price strain will be better, beware of anyone who suddenly claims to have "Puprle Haze", "White Widow", etc etc. And, never, never pay more than 20-25% more for different weed in the same catagory (catagory meaning schwagg, mids, chronic, etc)
