Whats up with selling pot by weight?

i dont aim to mak any profit at all, jus a free bag of smoke. but u need a scale 4 tha simple fact of knowin wat u hav nd wat ur giving out. them prices r krazi, round here it go bout 1.5 a dime, 2.5 15, cut (3.5) 20, 4.5 25, etc up til a quarter then its bout 60 a half, 115 a zip. not bad prices, theres much better out there nd theres been better round here but considering the mids goin round r pratically neon green i have no complaints wit it. but if it wasnt weighed then i wud b upset cawz if im payin 4 a ounce i want atleast 28, half 14. nd i lik to mak sure

don't forget we are paying for their RISK and we buyers are in less danger of being locked up.even if he is the best bud man ever,witch buyer will bail him out? the whole thing sux. our rights don't count! do as our granpaps did grow your own !

Have you guys never experienced dense bud?
One day youll buy a half and itll look like a ounce
The next day youll buy a half then itll look like a quad

THATS why you measure it..

ya what happened to the good old 4 finger lids

It all went corporate.

just like people said there out to make money and with a scale you can know exactly how much you can get.
But one thing I cant stand is the people who act like they are fucking tony montana selling by grams and quarters they always give me a good laugh when there around saying let me go bust this trap about to make 5 dollars lol.

Or the dealers wised up

$10G for sour cream and other pretty decent strains.

Dude I don't know where you live, or what your smoking, but I pay 50 for an 1/8 (3.5G) and that's what everyone pays.

sounds right

I agree 100% with this thread.

Luckly,My guy grows his and will hook me up for close to nothing. When i go to him with 20 bones he will give me around an 1/8th of bud and like 2Grams of shake for a blunt or two,Good shake,Not shit he trimed off the buds. One time i went to his house and had 10 bucks and he gave me a fuckin branch. He came out and invited me inside and when i get close to the door im Slamed in the face with the smell of Sweetleaf. I see his dad sitting there trimming away smokin a j. He said "We had an extra branch?" with a smile and a paper bag in his hand. i opend it it was a giant cola. I dont even know this guy that well, and he hooks it up like im fuckin family.

basically you'd like to change around the entire market.

either everyone that grew, would have to sell at bare minimum so the dealers could sell for whatever, or the dealers would all have to grow.

as has been said, it's a business, and i'm pretty sure that just partly, it's to do with organisation, knowing what is going where etc etc etc.

if i bought a pound, and started selling it off in utterly random quantities, i might get halfway through the thing and realize i've made 1/4 of my money back, so the next half is outrageously priced, or you might get home, open your stash to bag something up and think who the fucks been pinching my bud due to not having any idea how much and such has gone. it's a little thing called convenience, organisation etc.

but sure, in an ideal world the dealers would be picking up for penies as they should (like how can a grower not comercially shift for £100 an ounce, why the hell do they think they can sell to the dealers at £160, that's stupid and greedy!) and then the dealer can sell it on in whatever manner is best for the market, customers etc etc, and get a good name for his good deals. alas, as these days are, the dealer would then think HAAAAA I CAN MAKE PLENTY PROFIT NOW I'M BUYING SO CHEAP

one thing i can say for the growers that sell wholesale. they sell their dealer an ounce their dealer get's an ounce. you buy same ounce off your dealer and it's suddenly a couple of grams down, or you buy an either and well the weight is just a guggle and you know you'll get anything

I think it would be fair to say that indoor growing changed weed's value.

I would say its fair to say prohibition and the gains in quality did more for the increase in value than the location.

btw: weight is not the only factor, what about quality. If you don't like the prices lower your quality standards and the price will follow.

good point bro, in my experience around here anyway, alot of dealers do not grow the herb, they buy it off other dealers who sell ounces 2 ounces etc at a time, so for them to make any money off it they need to make the weights blimer than for what they bought it for. in my opinion, if i were to ever grow and sell, i wouldnt be greedy, i would sell huge bags for £20 the way it is meant to be.

wheight is the only way weed can be sold. it is not a measurement of actual weight but the mass. mass is the actuall amount of material there not just how heavy it is.

It'd be awesome to get it for 10 a gram or less. for me it's like 12 a gram. when i buy zips it 10 a g but not for dubs n eights.

if i were to sell i'd personally hook everyone up with like .4-.5 extra per 1/8. repeat business fat bags > one time business skimpy bags.

no way around it. if i grew then i'd sell ppl oz's for 150 because it's all profit anyways. with a price like that you're guaranteed your customers never go elsewhere.

exactly. spreading the green around would be my secondary motivation that comes very close to my primary (making money) in terms of importance.

more ppl with green = more ppl gaining insights = less ignorance = legal to grow our own one day? more wishful thinking on the last part there but spreading the green around is good for EVERYONE.

if i grew i'd give my friends free oz's. especially my poorer friends.

Sounds pretty stupid. Everything in this world is weighed or measured for size. The world would be full of inefficiencies if we just eyed things out.

well said rj

Many years ago a few of my Army buddies and I got a guy to get us Mexican kilos for $90 on the American side.

We would break them down (remove sticks and stuff) as they were made into bricks by pressing them with Coca Cola to set them. That's how they cured them.

We would weight out Oz's with a hand held postage scale. Our intention was not to make a lot of money, but to share with our friends and get some smoke. We figured if we didn't weight it we would lose money. hehehe.

For the past 25 years or so I got smoke from a dealer who had good quality, fair prices, good weight and always had weed. I tried to keep him in business, but he didn't sell chronic.

He no longer sells weed, as most of his customers have passed on. For him it was about the money AND the friends that he made. He was not a street hustler and had a regular clientele, delivery only.

Weed is pretty steep at the dispensary, but they have it. Better yet is that they sell clones.

So, those that can, grow your own weed.

Peace
