Default Am I getting ripped off?

Kid at my school usually sells solid bud for 20$/gram and I went yesterday and bought a gram from him. However, it was 30$/gram this time. Smoked half of it, awesome weed compared to what it usually is...However, I'm used to buying a 1/8 from 40 to 60 bucks back home of good weed...This kid is doing it to everyone, so it isn't just me but still, this seems like he's charging way too much...


So I ask you BLTC: Is 30 bucks a gram of GOOD weed a scam?

that probably depends on whether or not you think it was worth it. if the kid gave you some schwag, then yes i would say that's a scam.

Most I've ever paid for some bomb weed is 25/g

So you're probably getting overcharged a little bit.

around here pretty good weed goes for around 40ish an eighth. 100 for a quarter. Pretty expensive, it's generally 20 a gram.

30$ is not the price for a dub. A dub is a dub. 20$ for 1-1.5 grams depending were you live. It doesn't matter if its hella good.

Or just grow yourself and not have to deal with black market bullshit

WTF .. you pay more per gram for a larger amount? .. a quarter is two eighths so logically should be 80 :-S

youre getting ripped off regardless putting that shit in your body, its not worth it for all of the health problems. if you want a little bit of a buzz on you just drink a lil bud light, its got health benefits too like boosted testosterone level and puttin some hair on that little pudgy ass cereal-bowl of a caved in lookin ass chest of yours.

I hate all these idiots from NYC who used terms like dub and dime. Weed is 1g/$10 for normal indoors or outdoors with no seeds and 1g/$20 for nice weed with good smell and lots of crystals. I hate this 1.5/$20 (dub) of shitty indoors. That's not how it works motherfuckers.

I was almost going to mock you for being a fucking idiot, but then I noticed you were the same guy from this: http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?p=10650299.

it's only a ripoff if you won't pay it. wait that doesn't make sense. What I mean is, was it worth it to you? 20$ a gram is already expensive but i have been known to pay that much, while it's 150% more expensive than normal, you obviously had 30$ to blow, and you paid it.. so was it worth it to you?

If you pay anything more than $10 a gram, you're getting ripped off.

I don't know the prices everywhere else, but here (Denver, Colorado) a half 1/8, for the good stuff, is anywhere from 20 to 30 dollars. 30 dollars for 1 gram seems extreme to me. I don't think I'd pay that much for 1 gram no matter how good the product.
I'm satisfied with the 1.75 grams I get for 30 dollars.

$20 / g is the maximum any one should EVER pay. You are most certainly getting ripped off paying 30 a g. The person who sold it to you is laughing his ass to the bank right now. The average price for an OZ of the highest quality weed is $400~. He is getting ridiculous profits by finding morons who would pay $30 a g.

I call bullshit, in Canada you can get great dope (Kush, Super Silver Haze, White widow, etc.) for $12-15/gram in most big cities, $10-$12 in Vancouver. Most Canadians just don't have a legit connection for headies, they're hard to find outside of Vancouver, so a dealer either won't name a strain and charge $10 or make up some bullshit strain on the spot and still charge $10.

Around here, chron is 50 or 60 usually (midwest us), so 20/g isn't outrageous for kind bud. Then, if you consider that you are purchasing a very small amount of weed, it makes sense he charges you more for that. more deals = better chance of being caught. Also, there's probably a convenience charge for breaking his eigths. Or, maybe he's just charging what the market will handle?
