No.Are their Pink kush and top shelf Hash worth the 17 e a gram?
A mate has a small grow going on and he produces top quality weed four or five times a year. Six plants max. He tells me he averages 250-300 grams of dried and cured weed per grow. Sometimes less but hardly ever more. His electricity bill for the entire grow is about £80, consumables and expenses about the same. So less than £200 per crop. UK shite weed is about 10 a gram or more so 250g works out at about £1.25 per gram or 1.5 euros.
The big producers have economy of scale so 17e is frankly taking the piss. Sure shop owners have overheads like everyone but a mark up of Christ knows what percentage is well out of order. Take the same weed to a provincial town and it will be 10e or 12e at the most.
It's the penalty for staying in a beautiful city.
