This doesn't make sense because it's not true.
I was an avid pot smoker in my college days (long time ago, now) and even over the relatively small span of a 3 year time period I paid everything for a quarter-ounce (~7 grams) from $10 ("ditch weed") to $400 (REALLY good stuff from Cali or Colorado). So I'm not sure what he's talking about with the $10/gram thing being some benchmark that's lasted decades.
I know that's anecdotal evidence, but it's the shared experience of every smoker or ex-smoker I've ever known. And considering the wide variations of produce quality, I think it's odd to suggest that prices are tied to any sort of specific weight.
It's like saying, "Fish always costs $x per pound. (man) Why?" The answer is simply, "No it doesn't."
- benatkin 16y agoI have no insider knowledge, but the article didn't seem right to me. Thanks for adding your experience.
- eof 16y agoYou really paid $400 for a 1/4oz? I have lived and bought weed all over the country for about a decade, and I have never seen a quarter oz for anything over ~130.. more often ~100-120 for the best weed.
- dedward 16y agoI think he's referring to buying by the gram, not looking at bulk costs.
- code_duck 16y agoIt's too cheap by the gram, or too expensive, depending on the variety. The cheap (low quality) stuff is like $3 by the gram, at most, and the expensive stuff is more like $20 a gram, at most.
