It was pretty nice smoking Jack Herrer on my own couch and watching Futurama though.
Did that include the shipping costs from Holland to the US? Probably 10 dollars or so for even a small package. Leaving 65 dollars which is 50Euro at todays exchange rate. 3.5/50 = 14.30Euro a gram. Less then some coffeeshops charge for their top strains.

That's why I ask. You say that is crazy expensive but won't hesitate to pay that at a coffeeshop. It seems those in the UK have better prices buying black market then we have at the coffeeshops. Interesting I think.
But your not paying to sit and smoke it in a safe enviorment in the uk.

Not many people in the Uk would phone the police because they smelt weed, most dont even know what it smells like.

Yea my home is safe, but the sofa gets boring after a while. If i wanted to go outside on a nice sunny day spark up a doob and chill out while drinking a coffee outside my local shop and watching the world go by, i would be nicked pretty quickly. I would glady pay 10 quid a gram for high end weed i smoke in a public location without getting nicked.

yah, i would pay extra for conveniance and tollerance for sure. but if i'm gonna be a criminal, and buy from criminals, i'd rather not pay a premium.

(i dont like buying from the guy with the NL supply. he's way too drug dealer and not enough weed smoker. all business. i'll buy from the hippies and squatters thank you)

It depends who you know!

As a general analysis it used to be £20 for 3.5, then it went to £25 for the same amount, and then to £10 a gram!

Actual weight of the bag could vary, but like Boner says if I asked for an 8th, I would expect 3.5.

I think £10/g is more common with the younger generation, and some people sell any weed for this price, no matter what the quality is!! :shock:

It tends to be the older guys that havent heard of these ridiculous prices, or just laugh at them as everyone else is buyin sh*t for £10/g :lol:

It depends on a lot of things, but the best thing to do is get growin kids :!:

In France, hash is about 5 or 6e a gram, and weed about 6 to 10e a gram, it depends of the quality, and of course of how well you know the dealer.

i freely admit theres a little bit of jealousy in this post, but at least you know how too get connected, where to look etc :) - some of us poor sods don't know the first thing about how to get connected!

Still on the plus side, once Ebbsfleet re-opens its a shortish (ok 5 hrs but it can take that long to get thru Gatwick / Shi and into the centre) train ride to Amsterdam, so swings and roundabouts I guess.

look at how much cash (tax) you could get and how much "justice" costs you could save by regulating / legalising this so called "evil" stuff, even the Lancing Journal supports it

If I buy it, it will cost £25 for 3.5g however many of my friends tell me they regularly get only 3g for that price. This is only the price for top quality weed, more standard bits are just a score but (depending on what's about) ppl also buy grams of really good quality smoke at £10 if they feel it's worth it. 

Last week as a one-off I went halves with a friend on an oz of BB blue cheese at £240. This is the most I have ever paid for weed but it was fantastic quality and still cheaper than Coffeeshop prices if u break it down. Half oz of decent bud is usually £90 round my way though. 

Good quality hash is between £5-£10 a gram and notably I have bought some really great, strong, isolator at £15 a gram here which is significantly cheaper than Coffeeshop prices, when I can get it. 

Growing it is the way - and knowing a network of growers to swap the odd ounce with here & there to keep the variety flowing, it's the spice of life u know:lol:

£20 round these ways get you somewhere between 1.8 ( :shock: ) and 2.8 of leaves and some buds (we used to get a lot of the 3.5g wet stuff but thats not about at the mo)

some times the stuff can be spot on but just as things are good a load of rubbish stuff comes in :x

*really needs to start a grow*
