Is This A Skimpy 8th?
#8014502 - 02/12/08 07:16 PM (15 years, 11 months ago) |
|

The first time I tried shrooms this is what I got as an 8th for 35 dollars.
 For my next time buying shrooms I have 3 different people to choose from, the guy who sold me this amount or 2 different people. So what I am asking is did I get ripped off? Should I try a different person or stay with this guy?
P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong section, I didn't know where else to put it =/

There's only one way to know if you got a skimpy 1/8th. Get a scale and weigh it.

Depends what $35 is worth to you.. but that amount of mushrooms is not worth $35 to me. Buy a scale.

Yeah I think I am going to get a scale but the thing is since I just discovered this drug I have no dealer of my own and I have to buy through friends and some of my friends are untrustworthy, like they would take some out of my bag for themselves during the whole process =/ Guess all I can do now is try different people till I find some one who gives me the largest amount.

you're on the shroomery, you should cut out the dealers and grow your own stash.

Or you could make your own makeshift scale. Get a ruler, a #2 pencil, some tape and a note card. The pencil has to have notches so it won't roll. All you have to do is cut the note card exactly in half. Tape one half to one side of the ruler, and the other on the exact opposite side. Put the ruler on top of the pencil at 6", and make sure the ruler balances. Use change to find the weight. A dime weighs ~2.2 grams, a nickel weighs 5. That should give you a rough estimate anyway.

It's not hard PF tek is probably the best way to start others might say skip it, but I would recommend starting with the PF Tek. But no it's really not that hard it does require lots of attention it's not an effortless thing.

you could theoretically have some in a month or so. however if your moms is nosy and always around itll be tough pressure cooking jars and shit lol. if you have some extra cash you could always just buy the jars premade and that would cut alot of mess out.
if you have the time, the space and the supplies it is a piece of cake(yes pun intended guys )

it does not look like a full 8th, but you should eat them anyway. They might be REALLY good. I would rather have 2 grams of potent shrooms over an 8th of average shroomies

I'll be the first to say kits from places such as Mushbox, and a couple current sponsors suck. They're extremely overpriced and misrepresented as far as size goes.
I won't however rule out kits altogether. Take a basic kit setup for example: a couple rubbermaids, perlite, a hygrometer, and some brf jars.
Such a kit should cost no more than $60.00 If it was marketed at such, it'd be great for the home hobbyist.

I already have 2 grow chambers and an incubator, I'm just waiting to grow sometime again, I was just curious if they were as good as advertised I always assumed not, mostly for the reason of what they are gonna be used for.

Take a ruler, throw your shrooms on one side and a penny on the other. Center the ruler on something. A penny weighs 2.5 grams.
Should give you a pretty good indication.

Throw your shrooms on one side of a ruler? Sounds... challenging.
And PEOPLE! This kid is living at home. He can get his mom into serious trouble. And get his ass kicked out. Stop with the bad advice already.
ALSO! Kid, don't be stupid. You know that an "8th" is a measurement of weight. You need to measure it if you want to know what you bought. Taking pictures of illegal drugs you bought from untrustworthy people and putting them on your moms computer: not smart.

All white people are too white to rock dreadlocks, and it's good you realize your own limitations. We have hairstyles too, you know. Go get a mohawk or.. a.. bowl cut...

True but I don't have a scale can anyone eye ball it from experience and give me an opinion?

I have acouple of lab scales that are calibrated and certified every year, it weighs to a milligram, I think you need to stop using those headshop 'postage' scales because wear from riding in a pocket will alter the weight of coins

I'm just saying dont trust what some guy with a dime store scale claims to be accurate, money has too many variables to be accurate as a means of weight

Thats no where near plus or minus one gram. Thats the spread I would expect, and I would say that is accurate enough.

Seconded. I doubt the .2 variance is going to be significant enough to determine with a roughshod scale whether or not you've been screwed on a deal.

the point in this exercise wasnt to say you've gotten screwed on a deal because in some cases that nickel system lets you come out ahead, it was to show that nickels dont always weigh exactly five grams. some are dead on, some are over and some are under, the more they've been in circulation the more they wear.
