Short weed sacks

Just got an 1/8 from my dank hook up and its short. It weighed up to 3.2 and I'm contemplating if its worth potentialy ruining a good connect over bitching about it. I weigh it up as soon as I get home from this dude everytime and it weighs up 95% of the time and then every once in awhile it is short like .3 Would you complain or just say fuck it?

i'd say fuck it depending on how much you paid for it
but if usually his business is good and he usually weighs up then the few times he weighs short would balance out

Man fuck that shit. I say if youre paying more for better quality you should get what you fuckin pay for.

Hmm I had that problem too.. He usually came up short about the same time of the month for me every time I usually got it elsewhere at that time. There is usually a reason for it. Most likely the last of what he has before he gets more. IMO.

I say let it be it sucks nonetheless but finding hookups with good bud is somewhat hard to find depending on who you know/where you live

I would say don't ruin your connection over it. If it usually weighs up then don't worry about it.

man dont even trip.
if i were you i would just let it slide for now.
then the next time you cop from him, just let him know "hey man its not a problem or nething i just wanted to let you know my sack was kinda shorted last time, it would be cool if you keep an eye out for me on that"...or something of that sort. just be curteous about how you let him know, make sure your vibes are positive and things shoudlg o smoothly

Yeah brother. Be chill. Remember that this is black market. What you really paid for was 3.2 grams of high grade weed. Just because the salesman said 3.5 doesn't mean it will get to you that way.
Regular dealers are hard to come by. Its not like most of them can set up a cornerstore.

there is probably a reason for it, i agree. like you said, it was probably the last of what he had and it just happened to be slightly short.
i personally wouldn't sweat it. if it weighs out 95% of the time i'd say that's a pretty damn good connect and you don't really wanna fuck that up unless you have another (preferably better) connect elsewhere.

even if it was .3 short 100% of the time, dont complain.
if i was him and you complained like that, id stop answering your calls. remember this is illegal, hes the one risking his ass to distribute this shit, he kinda sets the rules, thats how it works.

I dont generally complain unless something is glaring.
I may or may not have gotten a half-pound at some point in the past that was a quarter oz or so short.
They way I figure, I'm going to make well over 1K on that half pound anyway, what do I care about the $100?
I'd rather not piss off a good connection with good prices just to make myself a little more money. Even if I add the $100 onto the price I paid, I'm still getting a ridiculously good deal.

I agree. My bags are heavy when I get dank not less, I get 4 gram 8ths from my normal guy for $40 for some high grade shit. I have several connections so if someone wants to short me ill buy from someone else, no biggie. I guess it just depends on how many people you know.

How do people measure out exactly an 8th? I never figured that out, like do they trim off a bit if its too much or take a pinch if its not enough?

93 No biggie. Many distributors weigh out their bags for people when they re-up. After a few days, the bud dries up a bit and wa-la, .3 short. This was always a pet peeve of mine both as a buyer and seller. If a higher price was needed, so be it, but the promised weight was always the delivered weight with me back in the day. However, .3 is nothing to lose a connect with. I've had people try to sell me 2g 1/8's before.

dealers are dealers not liscensed buisnessmen. they don't give a shit about you. and if you keep paying for short bags, he'l keep selling them to you.

I am just wondering if all you people that bitch about short sacks - reweigh steaks, chips, seafood, beef jerky too.
Anyways when I sold weed I weighed it out in front of people - sometimes people would take it home put it on their scale and it would be .02 short - just the difference in scales sometimes too. The people that are cool and nice would get hooked up if your a prick always bitching about .03 and shit I'd make sure you got the lamest smoke I could still pass off on you.

bullshit. the rules are you sell the weight you advertise. you don't short bags. if you can only sell me 5 grams for $100 then fucking say so. don't take my $100 and tell me that you've just handed me 7 grams. it's just as stupid and shitty as if he had handed me 7 grams and i'd handed him $85 and told him it was $100.
if the dealer shouldn't have to look at the money i'm handing him then maybe i don't need to check his weight.
personally, i will not tolerate a short bag. i will be more than happy to pay X for Y when X and Y have been determined beforehand but do NOT sell me Z instead of Y after we have discussed the $/weight price point. to me it is not so much about how much or little weed i have. it is about the principles of the relationship being developed. if the short is not corrected then you can kiss my business goodbye. and damn sweet business it is.
ps. i've never had someone not profusely apologize and correct a shorted bag. i feel that this is most likely due to my diplomatic approach to the situation and also because i don't deal with shady fucks. attitude and ethics get you far.

last quarter i got was only like 6.3 or so. i've got two scales, so i checked them both. i was kinda upset, but i never said anything to the guy i got it from because he's a cool guy from work who just happens to get some great stuff, so he acts as a runner for a few of us at work. the short bag wasn't his fault.
but it does suck. i paid 100 bucks, i want a full 7g. that .7 gram discrepancy is fucking 10% of what i paid for. not cool.

As others have said, if he is genuine and a good connect, next time you score just let him know it was a little short, 99% of reasonable dealers ive met dont have any problem reimbursing me if they have been a little short.
