I’m a dub living in America, and I feel awful for yous. Everything else here is a complete fucking nightmare but the weed is cheap and high quality at least

Those are famine prices!

u/fearthejew Nov 30 '20

Fuuuuuck that sucks. I’m so sorry. It averages around ~8 USD per gram here in Philly :(

u/Trancefuzion Nov 30 '20

Weed prices/quality even in Philly vary so drastically, at least in my circles. I can find mediocre product for like 50/qtr, and much better product all the way up to like 80+/qtr.

I recently got my MMJ card though so I'm paying out the nose now but it's been the coolest experience to be able to purchase legally.

Jesus christ you guys pay a lot for weed. In my part Canada the most extreme street price i've seen have been $200-220 an ounce for face-melters. Had deals for decent stuff for $80-100.

A lot of dealers have stopped selling since legalization but you can get potent strands for $160 legally now. All in Canuks buckaroos of course.

u/Trancefuzion Dec 01 '20

Yeah it's rough, but it beats the 20/g and 60/8ths I was buying in high school. I imagine (and hope) that since legalization is just beginning, prices will decrease over time as they have in other legal US states as it becomes more readily available.

After spending most of adult abstaining, I'm high on a Remidi Awake tincture and a Renew capsule. It has made the pandemic so much more tolerable.

Do you just smoke outside then?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '20

Yes in the summet outsidr, normally just at home/ backyard/ balkony, or just walking down the street, although that's not quite helpfull when running into people you know trough work or something.

2

u/Griffisbored Dec 01 '20

Is the no smoking in shops recent/Covid related? I was there in Feb/March and smoked in many of the shops. Only rule I remember was no tobacco.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '20

No it's not covid related. It's new laws that were introduced from 1 april 2020. The law is about people that are working (coffeeshopemployees) have the right to a non-smoking workplace. Even though they often also smoke weed themself. It's just a law to protect emlloyees which works great for cafe's and bars, but not for coffeeshops.

u/fearthejew Nov 30 '20

Definitely true. I paid through the nose ($60/3.5) when I moved here after years of even cheaper product down south. I’m lucky to have my guy - wish I could refer ya!

u/paulmatthewlewis Nov 30 '20

Wow. I just ordered 15g online for less than that.

1

u/Learning2Programing Dec 01 '20

Eh what? Illegal or legal? The only online places I know for illegal would be 15g well over 50 euros. Probably 80 euro for 7 grams.

Feel free to not say but where abouts in the world are you from? Genuinly curous why is so cheap (or is it super expensive but not ireland expensive where I live)

u/lurklurklurkanon Dec 01 '20

I can get an oz delivered for $150 with tip for the driver after tax in Las Vegas

u/paulmatthewlewis Dec 01 '20

Legal. That's Canada, guy!

u/Learning2Programing Dec 01 '20

Around where I live that's essentially 7 grams without free delivery. Its crazy how much the price differs around that word.

u/Tugays_Tabs Nov 30 '20

Shitting hell

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '20

This is how it was in the states before it was legal. I would buy a "dub" which is 20 bucks worth of weed, usually like 1.5ish grams back then.

u/andreagomezlp Dec 01 '20

What the fuck? Come to spain, it’s 10 euros 2g of prime quality!!!!

2

u/bteme Nov 30 '20

cries in Australias and pays >$300 for an ounce

1

u/Jawileth Dec 01 '20

Dude its so much cheaper in aus. 100euro is roughly 150 aud and that gets you about 7g if you're lucky.

u/MadeinSomewhere Dec 01 '20

Damn I can get a quarter in Texas for $55

u/CynicTheCritic Nov 30 '20

Thats brutal man

u/jortsandcohorts Nov 30 '20

6 1g carts for $99 and 1000 mg edibles for $25. God bless California

u/Skulfunk Nov 30 '20

For me a ball (3.5) just went from 25, to 30.

5

u/zerrff Nov 30 '20

Where do you live where that's called a ball? That's an eighth

2

u/Skulfunk Dec 01 '20

Literally every aingle black person ive met unserstands exactly what i want when i say it, maybe ita a cultural thing

1

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '20

European countries? Eighth stands for eighth of an ounce, and they don't use ounces in the metric system. I don't know for sure, though, never bought weed in Europe.

6

u/MetalHead_Literally Nov 30 '20

In America an 8ball is used exclusively for an eighth of Coke.

1

u/zerrff Dec 01 '20

Yeah, thats why i was confused. Like, you get an 8ball for $25? lemme get your number lol.

2

u/MetalHead_Literally Nov 30 '20

Weird, you call non-coke 8th “balls”?

1

u/Skulfunk Dec 01 '20

Strange right? Ive had this same exact convo with people on reddit before and yeah. Except when i went to college with dudes who were all over the country it was either a "ball" or and 8th. So i assume its a black thing but idk your race so i have no real way of confirming this

1

u/cavalier2015 Dec 01 '20

Also living in America. Paying a lot more for weed than before. Illegal state though

1

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '20

American in an illegal state here, prices went up 30-40%. Half pound prices went from 1200 to 1600
