Seems like alot of people here are showing up with weed in medical packaged containers here in Fl lately. I smoked a joint that was dipped in oil then coated in a shatter like glaze. It looked like a baseball bat and had a white paper or plastic round peice at the toke end. Came in a tube that had medical stuff on it. Guess the guy paid $60 for it from someone that shipped it. Wonder what it cost orignally. Was good shit. Almost as good as mine....:coolbounce: But really that coating was sweet!!!! Oh the good days are here.
I should research past black markets turned white. Wonder where a similar example can be found? Prohibition immediately springs to mind, but there has to be another. I wonder when all is said and done if America is going to treat cannabis like valium or whiskey. No denying the recreational side. Just the medical side easier to argue.
wow, we have the opposite around me, the 'legal' weed is forcing the prices down because a border state is flooding the market
The tokers go to Colo and pay huge prices for the novelty. The slingers want us illicit growers to match the wholesale price of legal market overage. The former pays more, the latter pays less. I'm starting to get more than a little pissed as wholesale price keeps dipping but the retail prices stay the same. But yeah....starting to notice the new breed around here. The wealthy pot snob. They mail order their weed or buy from a guy who claims to. It has the cool official looking labels that you see in Colorado or a dispensary, usually has a really cool name too. These people generally don't know S.H.I.T. about weed. So they sit and crumble bright green bone dry bud while telling me there's nothing even close to how good it is unless...well...you know...you happen to travel or "have a guy". What they don't realize is that to a real pot snob the shit in that tray is the equivalent of Annie Green Springs ripple wine. Then there's the weed slinger with a "friend" in a legal state who wants to pay legal state wholesale prices....but doesn't want to drive so is willing to do *me* a favor by buying locally.....at reduced prices. Either I'm nuts or the entire world is stupid. Thinking a cave with a 100amp circuit and wifi is the solution until folks start making sense again. Hide out and grow and smoke and let the lizards eat each other.
Yeah, the kid that had the joint, was all of a sudden an expert and i was the one with 15 yrs of growing experience, go figure. His legal stuff was "the best". Mine was "good but not cured enough"... Then my nephew just lastnight, had weed he got mailed from a guy in CA. It was good. He didnt say how much but i am sure it was more than local stuff. People around here just think if its from legal states its better. My thing is, i like to grow one or two good strains and enjoy, hook up some buddies. Now its everyone saying, got this from another state, its this great weed, and they can get it and all these flavors anytime so they dont need a buddy like me unless they cant get. I am sloppy seconds. Oh well, at least mine is almost free for me and its good.
never be sloppy seconds, I had someone try the same thing last year. whenever they called i was always out and for some reason when i wasn't out, i forgot to call them honestly i'm not a fan of cali weed. haven't seen co yet and I loathe michigan
I love and hate Michigan. It's a bane to any illicit grower within a day's drive of it's borders. The caregiver/provider plant counts and amount of weed able to be legally transferred to patients don't add up correctly. Add in that weight limits on what a provider can retain are ridiculously low and you create more weed going into the blackmarket than actual legal weed being sold.
Is legal around $200 a zip? Just guessing for mid strains. No wonder they need huge wearhouses, the guy with the investment cash rips off farmers so they have to grow a shitload to make good cash then the investment guys take the consumer cash all day long at the pot shop.
I have a buddy that has been getting "legal" weed lately also and I had to laugh in his face when he said that "you have never tasted or smoked anything like this before. It's awesome. It's from a dispensary." It was just ok. I pulled out a nice Trainwreck bud and had him cut it up. All I heard the whole time he was cutting it up was " Is this from a dispensary? It has a wierd smell. It's kinda moist too." His was all dried up. You could crush it with your fingers. He liked it while we smoked it but once he heard it was local he liked "his" better. He couldn't comprehend that dispensary weed is grown by regular fucks like us no matter how hard I tried to explain it to him. I was thinking of getting a rubber stamp set and making up a "medical" stamp with a pot leaf and start putting that on some bags. Oh yeah, EVERYTHING I have growing now would have blown the leaves off his "dispensary" weed. I also didn't like the way it was trimmed. It's a pet peeve to me. His did have some nice solid buds. I will give that to him.
$5000 i found out from her son that my deceiced patient sold most of her meds . she wintered in florida. she was getting 5 grand a pound would come here and mail it to her self ..
my youngest spent a few years in CA doing the outdoor thing, mostly working for others but did have few patches of her own as well. she'd come back every few months and sling some Cali nugs, it was always very good smoke but even she'd admit it couldn't hold a candle to what papa made in the closet. I've been to CO more than a time or two and had the pleasure of sampling smoke from 2-3 different dispensaries and again it was very good toke but the quality just wasn't there. Got me high as fuck but the buds were always dry and crumbly too, what's more everyone but me liked it that way. Now I'm sure that there's no shortage of equally good weed coming from CO & CA but I don't think it's making it's way to the masses and probably never will. The fact is that no one outside of our little cultivators circle knows what it's like to truly smoke top shelf weed. asssit:asssit::redbong:
Last week dude I know was telling me what he gets is better. "Dude , it medical" you can't explain to people. Maybe we need to get some designer bags and print up some designer labels and we can up the prices?
Yeah $60 for the joint i seen/tasted was pricey. Was a treat thou. I def need to put some joints in plastic tubes and make up cool name for a label, That will be $40 each please. :roffl:
This is no different than the stupid ass HYDRO craze a few years ago..its better its HYDRO! same story new line..... Ron White said it best you cant fix stupid MAD MAX
I know someone who was going to start growing because he bought 'hydro seeds' no shit....:5eek: dude has no clue what I do or anything, he was just blabbing at a get together Hydro seeds, just let that sink in :bduh:
$5k a lb? That's insane! No way that would ever fly in TX. You could buy ounces one by one and a lb would only run you about $4k. Easy to find ounces for $250 hard to find people willing to send more. Know guys that get qps for $750.
I believe that's what George Carlin would've called that "servicing the account " hydro seeds ... :roffl: [YOUTUBE]SibF7GIOiSU[/YOUTUBE]
Yeah, people fall for the simplest shit. Attach a word like Medical or Dispensary or Hydro to it and charge $100 a qtr it's some wicked ass shit. Sweet bud in a bag is just weed. A close cousin of mine wanted some to take back to college with him, 42 and still going to college:bduh:, said he could get 40 to 50 bucks more an oz if it was in a jar instead of a bag. I just laughed and tacked on several bucks for the jars.:roffl: Be Cool, CG
