mountain region colorado shrug

depending on if your state is medical and your proximity to legal or medical states also has a huge play on price, also knowledge, connections and availability

to say that a price is standard is kinda .... wrong, universally.

considering it is a black market commodity, i would say the price is remarkably standard. it's not like some people are paying a dollar a gram and some people are paying 50 dollars a gram. to use the word universal would be going too far though. even when I went to california I paid within 20% of the price I pay here in texas for (illegally purchased) marijuana.

if your a fish out of water and you dont know anyone then it becomes pretty standard i would say across america expect to pay 40-60$ no matter where you are for any quality of cannabis at the weight of an 1/8

40$ is on the high end where pot is either legal or partially legal

I admit using the word universal wasnt the best choice. I really meant that the prices across the US are pretty much the same and only differentiate subtly. I mean of course the legal states are going to have different prices than the black market, but we are talking about black market middle grade cannabis here.

Some of these prices im hearing for middle grades are seriously outrages though. :shrug:

like i said im so far detatched from the price of mid grade i wouldnt even know how to price it :shrug:

hence why pot prices are so finnicky. well at least they are in my eyes? i remember back in highschool an 1/8 was 50 and thats that...

We should be talking about what defines 'mids' rather than prices.  IME mids means different things to everyone.  Back in my hometown mids is essentially schwag.  But now I know Mids is legitimately mid grade weed...grown well but just has shitty genetics most of the time.  Would I pay 65 for a quarter of that?  Probably..







Exactly. In my area "mids" designates a quality of weed that is essentially somewhere between schwag (really low quality brick weed) and  "beasters"  (nearly A-grade quality bud that has probably been produced in a large scale op and has been processed to remove most of the keif, if there ever was any in the first place.)


At a step up from "Beasters" you can find "headies" (one of the more common terms in my area.) But really, this one term is used for at least 2 quality levels of pot. One is good, definitely dank, but not top of the line. I got a couple 1/4 oz of this stuff in the last couple months. Around $75-90 for 1/4. Some crystals, but not really spectacular. Whereas the last stuff I got was $95-$100 for 1/4, and absolutely covered in crystals.




Back to "mids."  In my area, some people do sell "mids" that is almost indistinguishable from brick weed. In fact, more often than not mids is somewhat compacted. But the higher end mids, less so. The differences between mids and brick weed:


1- More colorful. Brighter greens (though not always), and often visible orange/red hairs you don't tend to see as much in schwag.

2- Less seeds. Schwag is seed city. Terrible stuff. I've bought bags of schwag (way back in the day) where I swear half of it was goddamned seeds. Mids does have some seed, but usually way, way way less than schwag. IDK... maybe 10-15 seeds in a quarter. That's a complete guess, but probably not too far off.


3- Softer / stickier/ more moist

4- Gets you higher


Those are the big differences between mids and schwag, as far as I can see.



Anyway, for that material, I pay about $30-35 for 1/4 oz, $60 for half oz, etc. So pretty much way cheaper than OP.

I've heard its more in between mids and dank but obviously not dank enough to actually call it dank, thus, it's called mids.






Of course, it's very hard to say from just a few words... but it sounds like you might be talking about something similar to what is often called "beasters" in my area. In which case, $65 for a quarter would be well worth it. I used to pay about $220-$230 / oz for beasters.


I've also seen low grade, generic "'dro" in my area for around that price.



If the buds are pretty, somewhat manicured looking, colorful buds that look just like A-grade but without the crystals, that's pretty much the same thing I'm talking about. (You may see a few crystals if you break a big bud open, but the outside surface will be mostly void of crystal.) The buds tend to be quite a bit more dense than A-grade, though. That's another common defining factor I forgot.

I've always used beasters as a term for commercially grown dank, too. I'm not sure about the processing/removing kief, but it's definitely never A++ potency.
I think of beasters as nugs that have been vaccuum sealed/compressed with far too much in the bag, while only partially cured. Rock-hard buds. Still good potency, but usually still a bit of hay/grassy smell until broken up (sign of mold IIRC).

And when I think of mids, I think of commercially grown dank with a decent cure and not super-compressed. (usually) A more enjoyable smoke than beasters IMO, but generally close. Both cost me $2-250/oz as a single in the Midwest.

The seedy stuff is schwag/commercial, but there are many different shades of brown :tongue2:
The best stuff will be like Cidney described as mids. Light green, a little sour dank smell, a little sticky, and not too many seeds (which are usually healthy/hearty seeds). Somewhat compressed, but much better bud/shape retention than brown brick weed.
$25-40/oz too in the Southwest; same price I can expect to pay for much lower quality schwag here in the Midwest.
