Sorry if you've been asked this a million times before, but I wanted to know, am I getting ripped off for 20 bucks a cap? I have no idea what they are or how potent. Just thought I'd ask, thanks tons.

That better be one big ass fregin cap .... Most people atleast in the states, pay / charge 10 to 40 bucks for 3.5 grams dry. Even in hard to find areas up to 50 or 60, but 20 a cap.. wow

Yeah, definitely depends. Cap's very in size, I had an 8th that was one big shroom before. I've never actually heard being sold by the cap though, why not just buy it by the gram?

If it is an 1/8 cap then great, but i have'nt seen a dealer yet that happen to have all 3.5g caps he was selling. You can always run to any local car parts store and buy yourself a carburator float scale, small metal hand held scale, with a roach clip that you clip whatever your weighing on. That way you always know what your getting. =)

Yeah, the guy is trying to sell me these caps that are about the size of a 50 cent piece. I figured I was getting ripped off. Thanks for the answers everyone.

Woo, hot damn. Thanks for the advice guys, he ended up giving me the one tiny cap, and then we got busted in the student parking lot, he and a couple other guys were smoking pot. I got off but it looks like that shady asshat is going to jail. What goes around comes around I suppose.

the reason this person is telling you they are 20 a cap is becuase you are obviously ignorant to the world of drugs. you sell everything by weight.
hope this is a lesson learned. if i was you i wouldnt even buy drugs. or if u wanna try shrooms...you need to learn to grow your own and keep your mouth shut about it.
caps that size are prolly about a half gram, that is damn near 150 bucks an eighth dude, that is more than just gettin ripped off.

yeah it takes at leats 1.5 grams to feel anything at all, at least for me, and that would be far from tripping. You need at least an 1/8 to trip nicely. Oh, and stems work very well too, and taste better.

Yeah, the guy was a shady jackass. I knew I was getting ripped off but didn't want to hassle to get my money back. Doesn't matter now though, I'll just stay away from the whole scene for awhile now anyway. Thanks for the tips though.
