I've had authentic bubblegum before. I think it was 135 an ounce.

But, I've paid 60 an 8th for lesser quality "dank" before. I think prices all depend on the availability of good weed. If you're in an area such as a large city, where schwagg and shitty weed does not exist, you won't have to pay rediculous prices.
But see, when I used to buy locally, where the majority is compressed, seedy weed, or schwagg, people get away with charging alot of money for dank.

Now, I don't have to deal with that problem since I buy ounces.

The best weed I've ever had though, was 50 a quad. The dankest, stickiest shit I've ever seen. Literally a one-hit wonder. Smelt amazing. It was a pure sativa, but I can't remember the name of the strain. Anyway, it was amazing.

When people talk about grades, it can be confusing because they mean different things in different areas. For instance, in my local area, "commercial" means schwagg, and when I think of that, I think of weed that doesn't get you high, and/or tastes like shit. However, in larger areas, it's very common for dank weed to be considered "commercial", because it just means its sold commercially.

Oh, and another thing that causes insane prices, is the High Times Price Guides that they have. People are like "Oh, I live in this city, i'll just call my weed by some strain name, and tell people that this is the price", and then people believe it.

I mean, like I said, I've paid 150 for an 8th before of some purple and pink shit, that was pure indica, and it got me really stoned, but I also paid 50 dollars for a quad of that pure sativa, which was the best weed I've ever had in my life.

I've seen schwagg sell for 30 an 8th, and dank sold for 20 an 8th. So, I came to the conclusion that you can't judge quality by price. It seems to me, that the price is determined by how much they think you're willing to pay, how dumb they think you are, how dumb THEY are, where the weed is coming from, the availability of weed of that said quality, and alot of other random shit, that has nothing to do with quality of weed.

So, yeah, don't always assume it's going to be amazing weed just because it's expensive, and also don't assume it will be shitty because it's cheap. It all depends on the situation.
