Funny CNN article on drug prices
    #18959544 - 10/10/13 01:57 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

:lol: it seems funny that they're honestly judging weed prices by the silk road, when of course SR charged quite above street value on small quantities.





Quote:

Have you ever wondered how much illegal drugs cost? Here's your chance.

Last week, the FBI busted the Silk Road website, a massive black market that specialized in the anonymous sale of drugs. But a month before the feds shut down the highly secretive network, a computer savvy Australian startup called The Price Geek harvested data on the two most popular items for sale on Silk Road: cocaine and marijuana.

The Price Geek prides itself in being the go-to website to find the price of anything. So, naturally, illicit drugs seemed like a good fit.

Yeah I was gonna say I'm in GA and that price sounds about right, at least for the hookup I had.

$15 a G is a great price if you're buying single grams.

These threads always bring out at least one person who wants to talk about how good their hookup is and how everyone else is overpaying by paying the going rate in an area.
If people think others are over paying then step up and provide at a cheaper price otherwise STFU.

I can see those prices if it were someone I knew that grew it or something like that, but for having to go through a middleman to some dude I don't even know, yeah, $15/g is not uncommon at all. I've even been told $20/g before. But I've never bought it by the gram because once I found out those prices, I said fuck it I'll wait and buy a quarter on payday.

I mean if i want some good reggie it costs 100 an oz, but if you know or are related to the right people it is cheap, like right now i am getting pineapple crush for 150 an oz, from clones so no seeds ever.

Reggie is like $20-40 an oz in TX but I'd never smoke that shit ever.
Shit most of the time it's still shaped like a brick there's like corners from the brick in a bag and it's all compressed and nasty.  Ugh.

well yeah i don't ever smoke even decent weed, only the best i can find, i remember out in Chicago a few years ago we were getting oz's of just regular weed for like 50, but it wasn't that good, the reggie around here is buds, few seeds, green and smells and taste pretty damn good, guess it just depends on who you know

Yeah, in my neck of the woods we call that a "dub" and that is the friendly price.

We got real good pot around here, though. :awehigh:

Reggie is Mexican brick weed.  Reggie = regs = regular = grown without maintenance or special care.  It's the lowest possible weed.  Typically brown to very dark green.

What you're describing, in TX, is beast/mids.  Like really shitty dank basically.

Suppose that's about right for national average if it's good quality bud. $15 a gram for anything other than top shelf bud is a bit much in my opinion.



Good quality bud, pretty much all that can be found, goes for $5 to $10 a gram around here when buying a few grams at a time...buying a quarter ounce or more and there will be a little price break, $150 to $250 an ounce. Around harvest, this time of year, the market is flooded to the max and most people are a bit more generous with the weight. I've seen quarters of quality outdoor, the stuff looked like indoor, going for $40 and ounces for $120 during the fall.


When I started to smoke years ago, prices were higher. A dub, or $20 would get ya 1g, usually 1.3 or so. And ounces used to be around $250 to $300, can't believe people actually paid that much.

That graph is pretty accurate. In a dispensary you can expect to pay $15-20 for a single G of the top shelf shit.

To everybody who thinks the story is accurate, I just want to point out that I wasn't talking about MMJ, just cheaper street weed. Also, does this seem accurate to you?

Quote:


Shopping for LSD and AK-47s online

Cocaine makes for a pricier habit than weed -- but not by much. Here's the weekly cost for a cocaine user who snorts a daily 50 milligram "line" of the white powder:

    Australia: $94
    United Kingdom: $64
    Germany: $52
    Belgium: $49
    Netherlands: $43
    Canada: $41
    United States: $35
    Peru: $26





C'mon, who'd use coke daily for weeks but never use more than 50mg? :rolleyes:
