The Price of Weed

Lots of people on here have acknowledged their habit, and I'm interested in price ranges worldwide.

In Australia, 1 gram costs roughly $20, though you get 3 grams for $50, 7 grams for $90, 14 grams for $150, 28 grams for $250.

I've also heard people mention that they don't get decent strains where they are, we don't have that problem here, it's always rock hard and covered with crystals and hair.

Overseas?

I think 1 gram is about $10 in Canada. I don't know for sure though.

Stick with hashish, much better form of cannibis.

About 200 rupees in india, 4 $ for some good stuff.

But i feel hashish is the better option.

Here in the 'triangle' it's $60 an eighth for the uninitiated, $45 for those with the hook up.

eighth as in 1/8 of an ounce. We do that I assume we can do the stoner fractions ("Hey man, can I hook up half-an-eighth?")

And it's the crystally sticky gooey ooey. Why else do you think the people in Nor Cal are so laid back?

I just wanted people who were actually in the place they're talking about, so I don't get people saying 'I heard that in New Zealand they don't smoke weed, they smoke cotton, and it costs you $100 a turn' which isn't very helpful at all.


Four bucks in India eh, how is it grown?

It is £20 for a, um, twenny bag of skunk (sorry have no idea how much it weighs).

I don't smoke rocky any more but I used to be able to get for £50 for an ounze (I think, like I said, it has been ages)

A TWAMP!
Generally known as a foil here, it shall henceforth be a twamp.

People will be as confused as when I started calling them 'finharn'.

Most of the good stuff is grown in a place called Manali, never actually been there myself tho. My friends usually get it for me.

There is a strain that is strangely called "NS", best ive ever had here. Costs a bit more about 7-8$.

If you mean poking holes in the sides of soda cans to make pipes, there have been occasions.
(long time ago, in my first film (which ended up looking like a sexless porn...but that's a different story) there was a character that made one in under 30 seconds from a full can of Mountain Dew.)

100 crowns a gram in Norway. Been that for a while now. That sums up to about 17 USD. The tobacco to mix it with is just as expensive, though, say, 10 USD for 20 cigarettes. That kinda sucks.

I've heard about europeans doing this-that is, mixing tobacco with thier weed. Why?

(I'm half Norwegian, laplander. If you could explain what the hell thats supposed to mean, that'd be great)

You can have pipes, bongs, etc in the USA as long as they are "for tobacco use only". Heh heh. :wink:

I don't know where to start.
So I'll start at one.

Get your own sacks indeed!
*straightens tie*
Can pipes, which are cannies here, are schoolkid smoker concepts, I haven't had one, or seen one since the early days of high school, sneaking em in before sport or something similar.
Norwegian ciggies are expensive, what kinda brands do you get there?

Yeah, like that. I used to know someone who was obsessed with making them, I personally hated them.

No idea, I'm unique round my way for not mixing it.

Really should only be an emergency-only kind of thing. When your smokin' the good stuff you don't want anything f'n up the taste. That's why we use glass. mmmmm....glass. Bubblers rule.

Goes right back to the taste thing...

What skins do you use?

I usually use Rizla blue kingskins. But I went home this weekend and my sister had silver kingskins (I know, I lead a deprived life), I can kinda see kingskins being used for cigareretttes, but not blues and certainly not silvers.

if skins are papers then most people use orange pack zig zags.
there are those that collect varieties, but since I have to use a roller to get smokable joints, I don't bother with all that.

For a while I was using a jr. gravity bong (A 1 liter bottle in a 2 liter bottle) exclusively. It made my tolerance impossibly high. No more of that non-sense...
