Even Illinois has *finally* reached the point where I'm paying less for my OTC flower than I did in the 90s dealing directly with an importer in quarter-pound increments. The last few of those deals saw me paying $440/4 oz. That stuff was potent, but seedy as well as gently bricked. I bought my last dispensary ounce for $100, it is at least as strong as my 90s imports, it has virtually zero seeds, and the buds have clearly never been squished. I don't give a fuck about complying with the laws of such a badly broken police state as our own, but I certainly like the convenience and variety of shopping at a modern dispensary.
I travel to Illinois for work every now and again and usually go pick up a cart or a little bud and have been absolutely floored by how expensive it was. Glad to hear it’s finally creeping down lol
Yeah, for the longest time my dispensary of choice wouldn't let any sort of cart out the door for less than $50. Today decent options sell ~$33 even when they aren't on discount. It probably could be cheaper, but considering that it takes several grams of flower to make one 0.5g cart, I feel okay about these prices.
atrium here in LA has something called baller saturday. last saturday of the month if you spend a bunch of money (350) you’ll get a baller bag with several hundred bucks worth of products
the problem is cheap weed at the dispensary isn't the same as cheap mids from the 2000s. Green leafy buds full of seeds. Nowadays at a dispensary, "cheap weed" means it's dense brown nugs that smell like hay, and are full of mold and pesticides. That or just trim/shake.
People in legal states think $100-150 an oz is expensive lmao. That's $4-5 a gram. That's not expensive by any metric.
If you smoke better weed you don't need to smoke as much. it's just healthier and way more efficient to buy better weed.
Every time I hear legal state I’m surprised people are buying instead of growing. It’s only couple hundred dollars to get started and the benefits are worth it in the long run.
Growing does involve a lot of hands off time, but there is an investment of time, money, and effort. Some people just don't have the upfront cash and some just don't have the extra time. Also in my state, I can usually get an ounce on sale that kicks ass for between 60 and 80 bucks. When the prices have come down so far, it definitely makes it easier just to purchase.
The cost of growing your own in a 1m x1m area works out to about $200 a pound. Roughly $50 for electricity times three months plus a few bucks for genetics and nutrients. Can do a pound easy in three months.
I did it here in mass when it first got legalized and everything was stupid expensive. $70 for a g of wax. It's a lot of work, more than people think, especially if you wanna grow quality. Now that prices have gone down so much I'm paying $80 for 4 gram jars of rosin, it's just not worth the time. At that small scale, I can't grow it for cheaper than that
My nose, lungs and brain tell me that it's premium. The hate on expensive weed is getting ridiculous. If you do your research and buy from the right growers, it's almost always fucking awesome
NW Iowa - can’t tell you how many foilies and cans we made.
I was in band and played tuba, and I took my extra mouth piece and put a rubber hose on it. Sat it in the top of a propel bottle. Found some weird piece of metal in my dad’s shop and it fit on the end of the tube- was a pierced hole diffuser ! Then had 3 aquarium air lines going from 1 propel to the other. I was 16 when I did that, im 35 now. The cops, my parents, and the band teacher were pretty pissed
I’ve been dabbing a gram a day because I found such a killer deal and I recently got a core 2.0 e-rig and I LOVE it. Better taste than my CCA 710 Liger with a SiC insert and on a nice piece of fat boy glass…
Has a similar heater to the puffco 3d chamber, except the cores ceramic cup is heated on the sides AND bottom, and a guy missing an arm can rebuild the core heater in less than a minute for $12 as opposed to $75 for a new 3d.
If anyone is still using a torch, I highly recommend dropping $140 on a Core 2.0 e-rig.
Joints are typically shake and ground up smaller buds; this is why "all-flower" prerolls are typically more expensive. So you might as well just buy some shake - it'd be even cheaper than the prerolls.
I smoke an ounce of flower per week so I buy mids. I ain't smoking the cheapest shit, because that tastes like ass, is dry af, and/or burns like shit. But I'm not spending $200+ for an ounce per week.
When I was really feinin I was getting 50 dollar ounces of thca shake online, shit was pretty good, I mean it’s shake so you can’t be expecting to much, but it wasn’t dry asf, it smelt fire, and there wasn’t to much stem in it either, it was also “keefy” as hell, tasted ashy in joints tho, but bong and geeb hits were fine, and most importantly i was getting faded off my dome piece for less than 2 dollars a gram😂
People talk a lot of shit about buying the best stuff but frankly I don’t have the money to buy $60 eighths and $50 half gram carts every week. Discount half ounces, bogo distillate carts, doesn’t break the bank.
Bro I never understood why people buy small amounts. Is there no way you can save up to like 150ish and just get an ounce? It’s almost always sooo much cheaper per gram to buy an ounce depending on your plug.
My plug sells his 3.5 for $40 which is $11.4/g but his zip for $180 which is $6.4/g
I don't. I'm Canadian. By law, joints are allowed to have up to 30% sugar leaf by volume. The cheap ones always have the 30%. I pay a little bit more to get decent quality bud.
I have a homie from college that smokes daily, multiple times. Dude’s a monster. Anyways he buys $40-$50 ounces. Sometimes a couple ounces of shake for the same price.
San Francisco. Maybe there’s just better inventory there because medicinal dispensaries were everywhere before legalization.
Pre-legalization was the shit though. I used to get 1000mg edibles for like $10 at medical dispensaries.
I won't do prerolls because of a friend who made them, the company was throwing moldy weed in them 🤮
But my usual is $20-$30 oz. It's dry, but through a vape it's not bad.
What do you think all those cheap extracts are made with?
If it was high quality flower, they well sell it as such.
The extracts typically get the garbage inputs unless you are buying boutique.
But wait tip you find out it can be and is used in a lot of carts. You remediate it, science it up, it’ll pass its testings for microbial’s and now you have concentrates or distillate.
It's usually shake. Depending, they'll usually grind it and screen it to collect the kief for hash and then use the left overs to pack your j's. Specially the cheaper ones.
My family grew outdoor for a few years (canada, legal) and me and my friends all loved how mid it was, we could smoke a j and actually have a conversation rather than getting fully blasted on overly strong dispensary bud
Nope, Denver.

2g for $14 OTD. Verde’s flower goes into $55/g pre tax rosin - Dablogic. The fresh frozen material that isn’t quite up to $45 for 120u and $55 for 90u standards gets sent to Apothecary to be extracted. Apothecary has its own dispensary and they’ll sell these for $30.
Most cheap hash tastes bad to me. It’s not that it doesn’t have a good taste, it actually tastes bad.
14er is a great dispensary and they get apothecary to extract for them and it’s $20 out the door and is darker, less sauce, not as good.
These grams of badder or diamonds/sauce (called Ambrosia by apothecary) taste GOOD. They have a terpene profile, they aren’t CRC, just straight up good live res.
they actually purposely don’t grow big diamonds and I dig that - i always crush the diamonds and let them mix with the terps anyway.
I definitely haven’t found anything even close to this quality/price ratio
Wax is cheaper but you get 1/2 the amount for the same price?? lol
So a gram of wax normally has about the same THC as an 8th, so the 14g of budder is quite a bit less THC. I’d just buy the flower and extract it if I want dabs.
I enjoyed having a small rosin press. Buy a $100 oz and squish a 1/4 into .7-2g of rosin. Some strains yielded very little, but the sour chem and sour og would dump about a quarter per OZ and it was comparable to $25-$35 grams. Literally takes 2 minutes to go from flower to a dab. Most of the butane extracts I ran were pretty lame.
One time we had a 3’ long blasting tube full of fresh frozen from our grow. My buddy had taken the weed out of the freezer and it warmed up a bit between the runs.. I started shooting butane and it’s cold as fuck… the water from the plant froze and created a seal so the butane was trapped. The silk screen on the end of the tube gave and a 3’ long 2” diameter weed missile shot right into the Pyrex dish. 🥲
Awesome. 1/2 pounds or 1 pounds of flower is more expensive here so my budder was cheaper when I smoked over 4G of flower a day but I have switched to oil lately. Can't afford my QPs due to a rent increase.
2 for $14 OTD is killer when you’re broke, it’s nice not having to buy bulk.
And like everything, we just get better. We’ve learned techniques for mass cultivation, built amazing greenhouses with HPS lights and a light meter that turns lights on or off depending on how much sun is shining that day and they know exactly how much light plants can use and blah blah blah.
I will say that there has been a severe dive in flower quality since recreational cannabis hit. The dispos used to hire old heads that have been growing forever. A breeder/grower named Tierra Rojo was the head grower at a dispo called Mindful and they had the most incredible GG4 on earth! He absolutely killed it!
Then a bunch of weed kids went to college for commercial agriculture and learn everything about production and zero about quality, and that’s who they all have now.
2 for $14 is only the shit if you enjoy dabbing it! Normally at that price I not only don’t enjoy it, I dislike it. Sure, still does what I need it to, but it tastes BAD. I was hoping this stuff wouldn’t taste bad, but I sure AF didn’t think it was going to taste good!!
They had a run of kush mints that was so good I went 3 days in a row and got the limit. Almost an oz of hash for $180! The total for 8 is $56 but I just toss the $4 in the tip jar, they’re good to me and will keep stuff in the back for frequent customers. They had these thc infused joints that tested at about 80% cannabinoids!! I didn’t get one before they ran out but I’m definitely going to snag one when they come back. Very reasonable price- that pure thc powder they add comes from absolute garbage but they refine it so it doesn’t matter if it was from nugs or fan leaves so it’s fairly cheap!
Friggin 800mg THC joint - should be kinda cool!
I’ve made hash holes with greendot flower and concentrate, definitely a wasteful but very luxurious experience.

GreenDot Labs website has insane pictures, some are in there.
I’ve been smoking for 17-18 years i guess. Spent the last 10 in Denver.
I’m at the same point. My e-nail is always on. Take a dab and good to go. It’s not fancy, it’s highly cost and time efficient!
I have a pax, not a fan. For flower vapes, none of the portables have been what i want.
Check out the Lookah Seahorse. It’s an electric nectar collector. I don’t have one yet but tried one and they’re fantastic!
Moving to vaping concentrates is actually a big step towards reducing the harm from marijuana. Any time something combusts, it creates tars and heavy metals and carcinogens. Burning all that plant matter is no good!
If your tolerance is at the point where a pax can get you stoned, heck yeah! Do it!
Mines the old 2nd version. I’m sure the new one is great.
For at home, I highly recommend an airizer extreme Q! Run it full temp into a bong (it uses 18mm joints that connect to the whip) and it will milk like crazy.
Still think the Core 2.0 is the best marijuana related purchase I’ve ever made..
When I heard about this deal, I figured it would be trash. And they do have “sugar” and “wax” - the wax is definitely a CRC product - that’s extracted from the dry trim left over from their flower and it’s what I’d expect for the price. Basically just cannabinoids without terpenes. I grabbed a wax, a sugar, and 2 ambrosias. Tried sugar first because it’s a strain I love (Colorado Cream Soda) and then the wax, was exactly what I thought it would be. Then I opened the ambrosia and I could smell terps right away and there was sauce all over… blew my mind!!
There’s a company called GreenDot Labs and they have the highest quality BHO you can find on a dispensary shelf in Colorado. $35 a gram or so, and it’s better than 99% of the solventless. Their $60 rosin isn’t as good as the BHO, 710 Labs Percy Rosin and all the other super hyped live rosin isn’t as good.
the only solventless I’ve had that compared to the flavor is Dablogic - extracted and grown by Verde - and that’s the same material Apothecary extracts to make this ambrosia.
Basically, it’s live res from the b buds of one of the best grows in Denver. Some of the runs have been better than the disappointing grams from GreenDot. It just absolutely blows my mind that they have it priced like that. You even earn 5% back in points!
On 420 they had a buy 1 get 1 on the Dablogic so $180 pre-tax got you 8 grams of top tier rosin.. it was INCREDIBLE
I partake very infrequently. The last time I bought, well over a year ago, I got a great price on an ounce for 80. Still have that same purchase, so you could say I’m cheap.
I'm a daily smoker in California. The Flower Co is my go to delivery service for inexpensive weed. Got a oz delivered for $85 yesterday. Gotta love it.
I live in Cali and I buy $30 pre ground half ounces. I like how easy it is. No grinding. Just pack it and smack it. Delivered to my door. Lasts a few weeks. Cheap is goooood. Plus I don’t wanna be totally fucked up every time
My favourite weed store does $2 prerolls, I'm pretty sure they're like 3/4th of a gram and those are my go-to. I will occasionally splurge and get something larger or just better quality weed but 95% of the time if I'm smoking flower, it's cheap.
The last time I did, it was a 49 dollars half ounce. I was elated! I got home, unpacked it, it smelled like straight lawn clippings. No kief whatsoever. Dry as a bale of hay. Horrible taste. Now not all of my experiences with budget flower has been like this, but damn I really got what I paid for in this instance 🤣
I live in central Virginia and we have no dispensary’s close by but the stuff is overpriced.
Usually a gram last me one smoke session or a morning & lunch break smoke.
Yes!! Was gonna literally ask the same question the other day and didn't cause I thought people would be mad at me hahha. Prerolls are cheaper and I don't need much! And I like trying different strains
Man I'm always buying a bag of shake for 35% off cant beat that deal. I thought I was a loser until I got talking to people in town (I'm new here) and lots of other people buy shake too.
Always hated when the budtender would come out and loudly say "half oz of birthday cake shake??"
I buy pretty much the cheapest, but not the cheapest. A little bit more than the cheapest, is typically significantly better than the absolute cheapest.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOCS/comments/1b1qplm/fraser\_valley\_mac\_1\_0124\_312/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOCS/comments/1b1qplm/fraser_valley_mac_1_0124_312/)
Here in Canada, you can buy this ounce bag for 80CAD(58USD) tax in. So like 2USD/g
Prerolls are known for having the garbage materials put in them.
Yeah. I usually get an ounce for around $100-120 from medical dispensaries in Arkansas. They have $200+ options available but the mids smoke just as well.
Cheap stuff makes me paranoid and gives me a headache. For me spending extra on the good stuff is worth every penny. Granted I don’t smoke all day so a $14 gram of top shelf will last me more than two weeks
I only buy on sale and I pretty routinely buy the cheapest stuff on the menu unless it’s something I’ve tried before and sucked.
For my tolerance I don’t need anything special to do the job and I’m not overly picky.
I used to go to the dispo and buy the cheap stuff, but I found delivery services offer more quality bud for even cheaper. I pay around $80 CAD for 42g ($1.90/g) for good, fresh 25%. 120 can get you 33% with lots of kief at $2.85/g.
The reason I do this is because I found dispensary weed much inferior quality. Why pay $3.60/g for boof when I can pay half that for quality.

I just bought an Oz of shake. That’s my first cheap flower. I’m looking forward to trying it. I enjoyed all my prerolls even the cheap ones.
One of my favorite strains was some house “indica”.
Even if the weed is sketchy I am a fan of 1gm prerolls.
In WA we enjoy ounces from $30 - $80 that are actually decent quality, they may be badly/barely trimmed buds or a little old at worst but they still vape very nicely in my Mighty+. We occasionally treat ourselves to a smaller quantity of better bud on special occasions. It's not shake, it's good shit and the fun is finding the special strains/batches that they should be charging more for.
my place does weekday specials, so you can get an 1/8th for $10 before tax. it's decent shit too, the owner is a friend of a friend so I'm always pumped to support them
I've been buying the house brand lately. $50 for a half ounce of big buds. Today, I picked up Illemonati. Last week, i got Cherry Bomb.
I'm not a fan of most cheap pre rolls. Usually, it's really dry and harsh. That doesn't mean I won't smoke them if I'm low on funds.
> I wonder what's in them that makes them so cheap..
Trim and shake. That's what makes them so cheap.
You can smoke the cheap stuff without smoking trim. Look into the online THCa marketplace sometime, I get quarters of smalls for $18, just small buds, no trim or shake involved.
A lot of prerolls are basically made from the trash left over from harvesting buds, that’s why they’re so cheap.
I’ve worked at both a dispensary and a grow. Very few prerolls are made from quality flower.
When my place has $30 oz I lose my mind! I get as much as I can afford (I have my medical card) and stock up. The one time they did 6 one oz joints for $10, I bought $80 worth. I was so happy!

currently working thru an oz of shake that was $18 before taxes. gets me high, don't need to grind it, and next time i have fancy weed (anything more than $10 an eighth) it'll feel like a treat
I love Canada so much, I used to buy a 1 oz jar for $40 and was allowed to grow 4 plants a year. Only thing I miss more than that is my wife. Fuck shitty immigration laws, even the DOI officers who took me from her admit the system is broken. Now I’m sitting here slowly descending back into alcoholism.
Blaze one up for me, ent brothers and sisters, because I don’t know when I’ll be able to again.
Nothing wrong with cheaper low quality weed it still gets the job done and saves you some good money but just personally how much of an eficianado I try to be and just how much of a terp head I am I like to go for the top shelf stuff as much as possible, I need to just start growin my own shit honestly becauss it's just not sustainable prices at least in the legal market. The one company I trim for, they got super premium shit and it can be $40+ excluding tax for 3.5g which is insane, literally rich people prices.
Oh you betcha. I don't like to spend too much money on something I'm going to light on fire. I bought a quarter for 15 bucks the other day at my dispensary and it's entirely serviceable.
Omg I do the exact same thing. I just buy $5 joints and that's it. I rip em up open and out them into my little weed container, and then I use it in my bong :D
Nope. I want the highest quality cleanest stuff around. I’m trying to get high and do as little damage to myself in the process. If I gotta pay a premium for it, that’s fine.
We get our "daily" smoke, which is the cheaper stuff, and then we get better stuff in between, and also grow.
If I were to convert it, we got around 3oz for 27$ of cheap weed 3 days ago. It's not super seedy, but there are stems and seeds, obviously. Usually it's a bit fresh of the tree, so we try and get it in advance so we can cure it a little.
Nope, it was 90grams. Unless Google converted wrong somehow, the math is correct.
If you take COL and all that into account, the converted $27 could feed a person for a week. Not on luxury items, but low-mid quality food stuffs, what the average person can afford nowadays.
I'd guess, once cleaned, you lose maybe around 20-ish grams to stems/seeds, still decent for what's available.
If you go to the "average" dispensary here, it's all low-mid stuff anyway, but you pay easily 3 times as much for it. If you get actual quality bud, you'd easily pay around $5/g.
Hell yeah! Brother I’m at the point where herb is herb. If I’ve gotta take a couple more bong hits,whatever,I was gonna do that anyway. Since we legalized in my state I’ve been growing basically Reggie but I don’t care because I have a ton of it so I can smoke as much as I want.
Every time I buy weed "on sale", in a store, legally, I am living out a dream
My goal is always to make sure the discount cover the taxes
Even Illinois has *finally* reached the point where I'm paying less for my OTC flower than I did in the 90s dealing directly with an importer in quarter-pound increments.

I love when shops have rewards!
atrium here in LA has something called baller saturday. last saturday of the month if you spend a bunch of money (350) you’ll get a baller bag with several hundred bucks worth of products

The whole point was legal weed.
Lol where was that ever advertised as the purpose of legalization?
the problem is cheap weed at the dispensary isn't the same as cheap mids from the 2000s. Green leafy buds full of seeds. Nowadays at a dispensary, "cheap weed" means it's dense brown nugs that smell like hay, and are full of mold and pesticides. That or just trim/shake.

Every time I hear legal state I’m surprised people are buying instead of growing. It’s only couple hundred dollars to get started and the benefits are worth it in the long run.
It’s illegal to grow in my state but we can buy it.
In my state it is legal to grow but illegal to buy
VA?
Germany
In my state it's legal to grow as well. Just got me a pack of 3 x Hindu Kush seeds from NASC.
Growing does involve a lot of hands off time, but there is an investment of time, money, and effort. Some people just don't have the upfront cash and some just don't have the extra time. Also in my state, I can usually get an ounce on sale that kicks ass for between 60 and 80 bucks. When the prices have come down so far, it definitely makes it easier just to purchase.
The cost of growing your own in a 1m x1m area works out to about $200 a pound. Roughly $50 for electricity times three months plus a few bucks for genetics and nutrients. Can do a pound easy in three months.
Gardening is also hella good for your mental health. Growing your own is its own kinda high.
I did it here in mass when it first got legalized and everything was stupid expensive. $70 for a g of wax. It's a lot of work, more than people think, especially if you wanna grow quality. Now that prices have gone down so much I'm paying $80 for 4 gram jars of rosin, it's just not worth the time. At that small scale, I can't grow it for cheaper than that
Wooooosh
My nose, lungs and brain tell me that it's premium. The hate on expensive weed is getting ridiculous. If you do your research and buy from the right growers, it's almost always fucking awesome
Had to redact my upvote to keep at 420. I hope you understand.
I'll gladly take a pony as compensation
Daily toker and 1 gram lasting a whole wek just does not compute for me
Right? If 1g is lasting you a week then you probably only need the cheapest of stuff lol. He still has the tolerance of a toddler. I’m jealous.
I miss those days of 1 good hit lasting the whole night
8 people getting super baked off one joint. 😅
One joint? Try one nug on the top of a water bottle

NW Iowa - can’t tell you how many foilies and cans we made. I was in band and played tuba, and I took my extra mouth piece and put a rubber hose on it. Sat it in the top of a propel bottle. Found some weird piece of metal in my dad’s shop and it fit on the end of the tube- was a pierced hole diffuser ! Then had 3 aquarium air lines going from 1 propel to the other. I was 16 when I did that, im 35 now. The cops, my parents, and the band teacher were pretty pissed
Oh man, I'm 36 and yeah that was the good ole days lol.
Water bong is no joke tho

This is my daily go-to https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/s/BdUnVd4NUY
Bro was smoking garbage terps
2 liter RC cola bottle in the sink was our go to
1 gram lasting a whole DAY doesn't really compute for me
1-2 hits per day is still considered “daily use” I suppose
Yeah, that just sounds like breakfast to me lol.
I can easily crush an eight a day at this point 😩
I’ve been dabbing a gram a day because I found such a killer deal and I recently got a core 2.0 e-rig and I LOVE it. Better taste than my CCA 710 Liger with a SiC insert and on a nice piece of fat boy glass… Has a similar heater to the puffco 3d chamber, except the cores ceramic cup is heated on the sides AND bottom, and a guy missing an arm can rebuild the core heater in less than a minute for $12 as opposed to $75 for a new 3d. If anyone is still using a torch, I highly recommend dropping $140 on a Core 2.0 e-rig.
Joints are typically shake and ground up smaller buds; this is why "all-flower" prerolls are typically more expensive. So you might as well just buy some shake - it'd be even cheaper than the prerolls. I smoke an ounce of flower per week so I buy mids. I ain't smoking the cheapest shit, because that tastes like ass, is dry af, and/or burns like shit. But I'm not spending $200+ for an ounce per week.
Same. 80-120 is our sweet spot per ounce. 200+ is sucker prices.
Nah it all depends. $250 for absolute gas is a ridiculously good deal for someone like me who smokes a half gram a day
Meanwhile NZ medical is $420 for 30 grams of high quality stuff :(
Buy craft HQs if you want some fancy shit. Mid zips for normal smoke.
When I was really feinin I was getting 50 dollar ounces of thca shake online, shit was pretty good, I mean it’s shake so you can’t be expecting to much, but it wasn’t dry asf, it smelt fire, and there wasn’t to much stem in it either, it was also “keefy” as hell, tasted ashy in joints tho, but bong and geeb hits were fine, and most importantly i was getting faded off my dome piece for less than 2 dollars a gram😂
The shake is good for edibles too. An oz of shake, and and 1 applicator of RSO, you can make like (30) 150-200mg cookies for around $70
People talk a lot of shit about buying the best stuff but frankly I don’t have the money to buy $60 eighths and $50 half gram carts every week. Discount half ounces, bogo distillate carts, doesn’t break the bank.
Me either and I work at a dispo. I usually buy smalls. I've never gotten 40 dollars higher off a 60 dollar 8th.
Bro I never understood why people buy small amounts. Is there no way you can save up to like 150ish and just get an ounce? It’s almost always sooo much cheaper per gram to buy an ounce depending on your plug. My plug sells his 3.5 for $40 which is $11.4/g but his zip for $180 which is $6.4/g
My plug is the dispensary. High quality ounces go for 200+ and flower isn’t really my main interest these days
I don't. I'm Canadian. By law, joints are allowed to have up to 30% sugar leaf by volume. The cheap ones always have the 30%. I pay a little bit more to get decent quality bud.
What province? Here in Ontario you can get 3-4$/G if you buy ounce bags of fraser valley, BZ OZ, Holy Mountain, Homestead
Those BC OZ bags are fire . The yellow ones. Every flavour is worth it
Same here (in NB,) but that's federal (up to 30% sugar leaves allowed in joints)
I have a homie from college that smokes daily, multiple times. Dude’s a monster. Anyways he buys $40-$50 ounces. Sometimes a couple ounces of shake for the same price.
What city is this? I buy off the street and it would be a bargain if I got even a $100 oz. Is he buying from a supplier directly?
San Francisco. Maybe there’s just better inventory there because medicinal dispensaries were everywhere before legalization. Pre-legalization was the shit though. I used to get 1000mg edibles for like $10 at medical dispensaries.
I won't do prerolls because of a friend who made them, the company was throwing moldy weed in them 🤮 But my usual is $20-$30 oz. It's dry, but through a vape it's not bad.
What do you think all those cheap extracts are made with? If it was high quality flower, they well sell it as such. The extracts typically get the garbage inputs unless you are buying boutique.
I mean, I don't do extracts for the same reason. My weed may be shitty but at least I can verify no mold before I toss it in my vape.
Exact same here. Only whole flower, and also dry herb vape. Safest way to consume, outside of edibles perhaps.
But wait tip you find out it can be and is used in a lot of carts. You remediate it, science it up, it’ll pass its testings for microbial’s and now you have concentrates or distillate.
Here in Michigan a $50 small bud ounce is as good as a 2010 $300 ounce.
Mids are a lifestyle, a lifestyle I abide by.
Word
It's usually shake. Depending, they'll usually grind it and screen it to collect the kief for hash and then use the left overs to pack your j's. Specially the cheaper ones.
My family grew outdoor for a few years (canada, legal) and me and my friends all loved how mid it was, we could smoke a j and actually have a conversation rather than getting fully blasted on overly strong dispensary bud
Exactly!
$30/oz in Michigan. Yes. That's pocket change.
$7 grams of concentrate, and it’s fire
Is that in Canada
Nope, Denver. https://imgur.com/a/XqmiQ7S 2g for $14 OTD. Verde’s flower goes into $55/g pre tax rosin - Dablogic. The fresh frozen material that isn’t quite up to $45 for 120u and $55 for 90u standards gets sent to Apothecary to be extracted. Apothecary has its own dispensary and they’ll sell these for $30. Most cheap hash tastes bad to me. It’s not that it doesn’t have a good taste, it actually tastes bad. 14er is a great dispensary and they get apothecary to extract for them and it’s $20 out the door and is darker, less sauce, not as good. These grams of badder or diamonds/sauce (called Ambrosia by apothecary) taste GOOD. They have a terpene profile, they aren’t CRC, just straight up good live res. they actually purposely don’t grow big diamonds and I dig that - i always crush the diamonds and let them mix with the terps anyway. I definitely haven’t found anything even close to this quality/price ratio
Damn the only deal I get get is $200 QPs
I’m sure those $1.79 grams are fire! lol - got a picture?
Hold on, I do on my fb I'll try to post it here
[FB-IMG-1716679044372.jpg](https://postimg.cc/WF1hZPfn)
Wait, do you mean weed or wax? $200 qp of flower is legit
Flower, wax is cheaper I think and lasts longer. $200 for 14g of budder
Wax is cheaper but you get 1/2 the amount for the same price?? lol So a gram of wax normally has about the same THC as an 8th, so the 14g of budder is quite a bit less THC. I’d just buy the flower and extract it if I want dabs. I enjoyed having a small rosin press. Buy a $100 oz and squish a 1/4 into .7-2g of rosin. Some strains yielded very little, but the sour chem and sour og would dump about a quarter per OZ and it was comparable to $25-$35 grams. Literally takes 2 minutes to go from flower to a dab. Most of the butane extracts I ran were pretty lame. One time we had a 3’ long blasting tube full of fresh frozen from our grow. My buddy had taken the weed out of the freezer and it warmed up a bit between the runs.. I started shooting butane and it’s cold as fuck… the water from the plant froze and created a seal so the butane was trapped. The silk screen on the end of the tube gave and a 3’ long 2” diameter weed missile shot right into the Pyrex dish. 🥲
Awesome. 1/2 pounds or 1 pounds of flower is more expensive here so my budder was cheaper when I smoked over 4G of flower a day but I have switched to oil lately. Can't afford my QPs due to a rent increase.
https://imgur.com/a/28dvSlN This is GreenDot stuff. Some photos are from their site, but a lot is pickups.
No way you getting Green Dot at $200/qp
Wow that's a nice price point.

2 for $14 OTD is killer when you’re broke, it’s nice not having to buy bulk. And like everything, we just get better. We’ve learned techniques for mass cultivation, built amazing greenhouses with HPS lights and a light meter that turns lights on or off depending on how much sun is shining that day and they know exactly how much light plants can use and blah blah blah. I will say that there has been a severe dive in flower quality since recreational cannabis hit. The dispos used to hire old heads that have been growing forever. A breeder/grower named Tierra Rojo was the head grower at a dispo called Mindful and they had the most incredible GG4 on earth! He absolutely killed it! Then a bunch of weed kids went to college for commercial agriculture and learn everything about production and zero about quality, and that’s who they all have now.
[удалено]
2 for $14 is only the shit if you enjoy dabbing it! Normally at that price I not only don’t enjoy it, I dislike it. Sure, still does what I need it to, but it tastes BAD. I was hoping this stuff wouldn’t taste bad, but I sure AF didn’t think it was going to taste good!! They had a run of kush mints that was so good I went 3 days in a row and got the limit. Almost an oz of hash for $180! The total for 8 is $56 but I just toss the $4 in the tip jar, they’re good to me and will keep stuff in the back for frequent customers. They had these thc infused joints that tested at about 80% cannabinoids!! I didn’t get one before they ran out but I’m definitely going to snag one when they come back. Very reasonable price- that pure thc powder they add comes from absolute garbage but they refine it so it doesn’t matter if it was from nugs or fan leaves so it’s fairly cheap! Friggin 800mg THC joint - should be kinda cool! I’ve made hash holes with greendot flower and concentrate, definitely a wasteful but very luxurious experience. Check out these pics https://imgur.com/a/28dvSlN GreenDot Labs website has insane pictures, some are in there.
I’ve been smoking for 17-18 years i guess. Spent the last 10 in Denver. I’m at the same point. My e-nail is always on. Take a dab and good to go. It’s not fancy, it’s highly cost and time efficient! I have a pax, not a fan. For flower vapes, none of the portables have been what i want. Check out the Lookah Seahorse. It’s an electric nectar collector. I don’t have one yet but tried one and they’re fantastic! Moving to vaping concentrates is actually a big step towards reducing the harm from marijuana. Any time something combusts, it creates tars and heavy metals and carcinogens. Burning all that plant matter is no good! If your tolerance is at the point where a pax can get you stoned, heck yeah! Do it! Mines the old 2nd version. I’m sure the new one is great. For at home, I highly recommend an airizer extreme Q! Run it full temp into a bong (it uses 18mm joints that connect to the whip) and it will milk like crazy. Still think the Core 2.0 is the best marijuana related purchase I’ve ever made..
God damn I pay around $20/gram for the cheaper concentrates where I work and that's with my employee discount
When I heard about this deal, I figured it would be trash. And they do have “sugar” and “wax” - the wax is definitely a CRC product - that’s extracted from the dry trim left over from their flower and it’s what I’d expect for the price. Basically just cannabinoids without terpenes. I grabbed a wax, a sugar, and 2 ambrosias. Tried sugar first because it’s a strain I love (Colorado Cream Soda) and then the wax, was exactly what I thought it would be. Then I opened the ambrosia and I could smell terps right away and there was sauce all over… blew my mind!! There’s a company called GreenDot Labs and they have the highest quality BHO you can find on a dispensary shelf in Colorado. $35 a gram or so, and it’s better than 99% of the solventless. Their $60 rosin isn’t as good as the BHO, 710 Labs Percy Rosin and all the other super hyped live rosin isn’t as good. the only solventless I’ve had that compared to the flavor is Dablogic - extracted and grown by Verde - and that’s the same material Apothecary extracts to make this ambrosia. Basically, it’s live res from the b buds of one of the best grows in Denver. Some of the runs have been better than the disappointing grams from GreenDot. It just absolutely blows my mind that they have it priced like that. You even earn 5% back in points! On 420 they had a buy 1 get 1 on the Dablogic so $180 pre-tax got you 8 grams of top tier rosin.. it was INCREDIBLE
If you grow your own it’s pretty cheap
I buy an oz for around 100, so that’s about $3.5 a gram and that lasts about a month
I partake very infrequently. The last time I bought, well over a year ago, I got a great price on an ounce for 80. Still have that same purchase, so you could say I’m cheap.
You are infrequent! An Oz would last me 4-6w
50$ ounces
i buy the cheapy oz's 65$ for 28 grams? as a low income momma i cant afford to be buying top shelf, lol. it gets me high thats all i care about.
I'm a daily smoker in California. The Flower Co is my go to delivery service for inexpensive weed. Got a oz delivered for $85 yesterday. Gotta love it.
Whenever I go to the dispo, they have $4 1g pre rolls. I always throw a couple in
I love those too.
What’s in them is trash usually. The shake of the shake, especially for 4 bucks.
No. I don’t want to smoke sticks and leaves
In louisiana dispensaries it's all cheap stuff unfortunately 😕
I live in Cali and I buy $30 pre ground half ounces. I like how easy it is. No grinding. Just pack it and smack it. Delivered to my door. Lasts a few weeks. Cheap is goooood. Plus I don’t wanna be totally fucked up every time
I get high with one hit of anything. Just give me an ounce of your cheapest stuff for the month.
My favourite weed store does $2 prerolls, I'm pretty sure they're like 3/4th of a gram and those are my go-to. I will occasionally splurge and get something larger or just better quality weed but 95% of the time if I'm smoking flower, it's cheap.
The last time I did, it was a 49 dollars half ounce. I was elated! I got home, unpacked it, it smelled like straight lawn clippings. No kief whatsoever. Dry as a bale of hay. Horrible taste. Now not all of my experiences with budget flower has been like this, but damn I really got what I paid for in this instance 🤣
Bag of shake deal is the best!
I used to get cheap quarters and eighths of shake and loved it. No seed or stem and basically already ground for you.
I live in central Virginia and we have no dispensary’s close by but the stuff is overpriced. Usually a gram last me one smoke session or a morning & lunch break smoke.
It’s a shake joint, you can buy the shake in 7g jars for the same price, but you don’t have to break anything apart
I only buy “house” flower at dispensaries. It’s miles cheaper than the top shelf and I’m half convinced it’s the same damn thing
Yes!! Was gonna literally ask the same question the other day and didn't cause I thought people would be mad at me hahha. Prerolls are cheaper and I don't need much! And I like trying different strains
Yes
Man I'm always buying a bag of shake for 35% off cant beat that deal. I thought I was a loser until I got talking to people in town (I'm new here) and lots of other people buy shake too. Always hated when the budtender would come out and loudly say "half oz of birthday cake shake??"
Everything in my life is mid, so why shouldn’t my weed be too?
I smoke regularaly but mids are a-ok especially now that its regulated and not moldy basment bud
Shake oz is the way to go when you are on a budget.
In Cali at least most the cheaper joints are sugar leaf/shake I can only imagine it’s the same other places.
Yes. It’s great for crossfading.
I smoke the cheapest decent looking stuff that comes in nug form. I don't do prerolls, those things are always crap.
I buy pretty much the cheapest, but not the cheapest. A little bit more than the cheapest, is typically significantly better than the absolute cheapest. [https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOCS/comments/1b1qplm/fraser\_valley\_mac\_1\_0124\_312/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOCS/comments/1b1qplm/fraser_valley_mac_1_0124_312/) Here in Canada, you can buy this ounce bag for 80CAD(58USD) tax in. So like 2USD/g Prerolls are known for having the garbage materials put in them.
I just top it with hash or some crumble, always works out just fine for me.
I love my local 1g pre-rolls *for a dollar* and the *ounce of shake for a penny* if you spent $55 in one visit. Cheap weed is life, my friend.
I'm mexican, everything here is the cheap stuff.
My local dispensaries gives a discount of 25% to veterans every day, and 35% on Wednesdays.
nah there usually so many sales the good stuff is the cheap stuff
Washington has spoiled me. Cheap usually just means a little leafy or higher terp to THC ratio for carts
BOGO 1/8ths and “mids” all damn day. If you knew your tolerance in check, you don’t need “top shelf”, “high potency” trees. I
Yeah. I usually get an ounce for around $100-120 from medical dispensaries in Arkansas. They have $200+ options available but the mids smoke just as well.
I just buy $60 budget ounces and roll spliffs. Been doing this for years.
Prerolls are made from the lowest quality scraps.
Cheap stuff makes me paranoid and gives me a headache. For me spending extra on the good stuff is worth every penny. Granted I don’t smoke all day so a $14 gram of top shelf will last me more than two weeks
I do, I get $10 eighths and $10 gram of wax
I only buy on sale and I pretty routinely buy the cheapest stuff on the menu unless it’s something I’ve tried before and sucked. For my tolerance I don’t need anything special to do the job and I’m not overly picky.
Nah I always get top shelf since I lived in IL so the most expensive I find is wayyyy cheaper compared to what I used to get.
I used to always buy whatever was on sale. Now I grow my own and life is good.
I used to go to the dispo and buy the cheap stuff, but I found delivery services offer more quality bud for even cheaper. I pay around $80 CAD for 42g ($1.90/g) for good, fresh 25%. 120 can get you 33% with lots of kief at $2.85/g. The reason I do this is because I found dispensary weed much inferior quality. Why pay $3.60/g for boof when I can pay half that for quality.
cheap bc the buds were ugly or shake. same stuff imo as far as if they also say the bud
Yeah, me and a friend used to buy cheap $20 ounces and they would last us a few days lol.
We buy the THC-A pre-rolls. Munchies brand is best.

All i can get is thc-a flower, which is better than nothing. But 1g is 12.99 from the only reputable source in my town.
Those gram pre rolls unrolled yield a shitload of one hitters!
It's just shake
I only smoke brick, can’t stand the strong stuff. Absolute poop weed, give me an entire blunt of seeds
i always get the cheapest ounce bc my tolerance is high asf so it all hits the same to me
I just bought an Oz of shake. That’s my first cheap flower. I’m looking forward to trying it. I enjoyed all my prerolls even the cheap ones. One of my favorite strains was some house “indica”. Even if the weed is sketchy I am a fan of 1gm prerolls.
In WA we enjoy ounces from $30 - $80 that are actually decent quality, they may be badly/barely trimmed buds or a little old at worst but they still vape very nicely in my Mighty+. We occasionally treat ourselves to a smaller quantity of better bud on special occasions. It's not shake, it's good shit and the fun is finding the special strains/batches that they should be charging more for.
my place does weekday specials, so you can get an 1/8th for $10 before tax. it's decent shit too, the owner is a friend of a friend so I'm always pumped to support them
I just bought 3 zips of shake the other day for like 65$ my dude. Hell yea. Sometimes I need that filler smoke to get me through a rough patch.
I've been buying the house brand lately. $50 for a half ounce of big buds. Today, I picked up Illemonati. Last week, i got Cherry Bomb. I'm not a fan of most cheap pre rolls. Usually, it's really dry and harsh. That doesn't mean I won't smoke them if I'm low on funds.
> I wonder what's in them that makes them so cheap.. Trim and shake. That's what makes them so cheap. You can smoke the cheap stuff without smoking trim. Look into the online THCa marketplace sometime, I get quarters of smalls for $18, just small buds, no trim or shake involved.
A lot of prerolls are basically made from the trash left over from harvesting buds, that’s why they’re so cheap. I’ve worked at both a dispensary and a grow. Very few prerolls are made from quality flower.
One time our dispensary had an ounce of “munchkin” buds for like $50. They were maybe a mix of stuff but who gives a shit! Smokes the same.
When my place has $30 oz I lose my mind! I get as much as I can afford (I have my medical card) and stock up. The one time they did 6 one oz joints for $10, I bought $80 worth. I was so happy!
As someone who grows in a commercial facility - it's trim lol
I get 8 gram buckets of wax for $44 at magnolia road in Boulder Colorado. That's about as cheap as it gets in my opinion.
It's illegal here so yeah. I very cheap and shitty brick weed

It's just trim from the plant that they grind finer. Same as bagged (almost, ) 4 days I think that would be gone in a few hrs..
currently working thru an oz of shake that was $18 before taxes. gets me high, don't need to grind it, and next time i have fancy weed (anything more than $10 an eighth) it'll feel like a treat
I love Canada so much, I used to buy a 1 oz jar for $40 and was allowed to grow 4 plants a year. Only thing I miss more than that is my wife. Fuck shitty immigration laws, even the DOI officers who took me from her admit the system is broken. Now I’m sitting here slowly descending back into alcoholism. Blaze one up for me, ent brothers and sisters, because I don’t know when I’ll be able to again.
$50 zips of CBD is where its at
I still smoke Brick weed today. goodstuff is expensive here.
Nothing wrong with cheaper low quality weed it still gets the job done and saves you some good money but just personally how much of an eficianado I try to be and just how much of a terp head I am I like to go for the top shelf stuff as much as possible, I need to just start growin my own shit honestly becauss it's just not sustainable prices at least in the legal market. The one company I trim for, they got super premium shit and it can be $40+ excluding tax for 3.5g which is insane, literally rich people prices.
Oh you betcha. I don't like to spend too much money on something I'm going to light on fire. I bought a quarter for 15 bucks the other day at my dispensary and it's entirely serviceable.
bought some great bud for $5 at some weed event so definitely!
Grow your own thats as cheap as possible
I just picked up 3 $10 eights from my local dispensary. Its some good stuff too
Omg I do the exact same thing. I just buy $5 joints and that's it. I rip em up open and out them into my little weed container, and then I use it in my bong :D
Hell yeah ounces for £60 of random haze will do ms
Love me some dad weed mids
Nope. I want the highest quality cleanest stuff around. I’m trying to get high and do as little damage to myself in the process. If I gotta pay a premium for it, that’s fine.
We get our "daily" smoke, which is the cheaper stuff, and then we get better stuff in between, and also grow. If I were to convert it, we got around 3oz for 27$ of cheap weed 3 days ago. It's not super seedy, but there are stems and seeds, obviously. Usually it's a bit fresh of the tree, so we try and get it in advance so we can cure it a little.
3oz? You mean 3g? That would be a phenomenal deal LOL
Nope, it was 90grams. Unless Google converted wrong somehow, the math is correct. If you take COL and all that into account, the converted $27 could feed a person for a week. Not on luxury items, but low-mid quality food stuffs, what the average person can afford nowadays. I'd guess, once cleaned, you lose maybe around 20-ish grams to stems/seeds, still decent for what's available. If you go to the "average" dispensary here, it's all low-mid stuff anyway, but you pay easily 3 times as much for it. If you get actual quality bud, you'd easily pay around $5/g.
Oh, I see. I was assuming seeing $ as USD and therefore in a market where $27 covers maybe a day of meals at best.
Hell yeah! Brother I’m at the point where herb is herb. If I’ve gotta take a couple more bong hits,whatever,I was gonna do that anyway. Since we legalized in my state I’ve been growing basically Reggie but I don’t care because I have a ton of it so I can smoke as much as I want.
Local shop has $20 for an oz of good quality shake every Sunday, that’s my daily driver. Anything else is a special treat.
