how much should a gram of honey oil cost?

[Princess of Pot]

Hi Everyone - I am looking into helping a friend get some oil but I have no idea how much it should cost. Does anyone know?

 

[The Hippy]

That's a tough one. I know what they sell for retail. Not sure the "cost". I know it barely pays to make it after effort, butane, risk etc. Will be interesting to see others opinions. Nice to have for yourself but not a money maker in the sense of the time involved and material cost. Many just make their own.
If it is too high in price people balk.
If it's made from pure bud...cha...ching....If it's made from trim = less costly
It's a real insider product although it can be purchase at some CC's

I make my own, and have never actually bought any but based on what friends pay.......

There are alot of variables involved here. The biggest is prolly what part of the country your in. The second will be quality. I know where I am that average quality oil goes for $40-50 a gram. You might find some lower quality for 30, but its not likely cus there is very little variety in this part of the country. Around here you also will not find and REALLY high grade stuff, people just don't share it if they get it or make it.

Now if you live in CO, I think the spectrum will range from $25-30 for low grade all the way up to $80-100 for high grade bud oils. With the average stuff still being about $40-50 before tax. This is what I've been getting told by a couple friends that have been out there since the legalization.

If your needing a lot of oil for a treatment program, try to purchase some weed at the best price you can find. Then consider making it on your own. It is easy to make as long as it's done outside.
Does this help or is that not an option?

I have had people telling me I should sell mine because it goes for 50-70 a gram here. I live in a nonmed state so unless you know somebody receiving shipments from ? or growing its a very tough find anyway. Wanted to add, I keep all of mine for GF and I due to what The Hippy said, by time you make it, it's not really worth selling.

BHO and shatter can run you from 80 to 150 a gram.

Now, ingestible oil for cancer?!?!?!....what ever an outdoor pound would costs divided by 448. You get around 50 to 80 grams of oil from a pound of decent outdoor.
Last I heard you could pick up outdoor weed for 6 to 7 a pound..
700 divided by 448 is only 1.5 a gram..CHEAP AWESOME MEDICATIONTHAT WORKS!!!!


700 divided by 50........ 14 dollars a gram for oil




Good luck with who ever you are helping. IT Doesn't have to be AAA jst has to be bud mostly to get a return. A pound of shake would NOT give the same return as a pound of bud would.

ok cool. Thanks for the advice guys! I appreciate it

 

[The Hippy]

Awesome figuring there GB. That's great info for her. Bravo

Don't ever share it other than with friends as I only make it from extra bud, popcorn bud and shake right around the buds (final trim, soaked in trichs). You can make it from shake but imo that's crap and typically what you get if someone is selling it for profit. Because I grow it indoor and some outdoor it costs me around $25/gram for high grade, knock your socks off, super-clear shit. It's relatively easy to make but takes some practice to get the consistency, yield, purge right for high-grade honey, well worth it in my books but it's kept as personal and shared only with close friends. If I were to sell it I'd want $60-$80/g for the work/hassle involved in packaging it for sale.

 

[bigmanc]

indica oil 60$/g
sativa oil 80$/g

lol ok so then for medical patients they cant buy any???
lol they cant afford 3$/g let alone 80? I wouldn't even pay 60 g lol
I figure patients would say its from trim so .50cents a g lmfao

I'm a med patient, I couldn't afford to buy it and I make good money, one of many reasons why I grow it and make it myself. We all have that choice, legal or not, I'm not legal. I make it for meds, and do share it with my GF but she doesn't smoke it, she uses it for her skin cancer. She hasn't had to go get any spots removed for the last 2 years she's been applying it to spots when they first show. Prior to that she was going every 6 months to surgically remove them (although there is a side benefit to this, she looks like she's 25 years old - lol), but they'd then show up again within a year or two. What's that worth per gram?

It's illegal to have oil anyways folks.
You're not allowed to make yourself well.

Just sayin.

 

[Thundercat]

Its all illegal anyways........

Yeah, up in Canada even med patients are being pushed into buying from commercial government controlled operators, they can't buy anything but bud and making anything is illegal, fuck'm, I've been growing for 30 years, no government program is going to stop me from growing my own meds.

I got disagree on the trim comments. I've made and had both types and can't see a whole lot of difference if the trim is good. Resin is resin. Just maybe not in the same quantity from trim.
Iv'e made it from pure buds and only noticed a slight taste difference. More specific to the strain used.
Trim from multiple strains makes excellent oil imo. Very potent and still wicked tasty.
Smokin some right now

best thing you've said ever.
if you have great trim you make a way better hash, oil ect. bud is a bit better but not that much, you just get more trich's.
and in b.c all patients are allowed to make consentrates, eatables, hashes. and use them legally. but just b.c

Hey hippy, I think it was me that referred to it as crap but I was referring to shake. Depends on how you define shake/trim, I used the term shake because I've seen guys make it from stick (my son being one of them), then wonder why it wasn't as good as mine. Trim oil from directly around the buds is just as good, that trim that is soaked in trichs can be as good as bud, maybe lighter or smaller yield than bud, but quality should be good. I've used trim, trim + popcorn buds and just popcorn and buds, just never shake as I've tried some of it and there's no comparison. Usually popcorn and close trim, I find straight bud a bit of a waste, but have done it with good outdoor harvests The yield doesn't add the oil is almost too much if you smoke it.
Around here I've seen guys trying to pawn that (shake oil) off as honey oil for $50-$60g

 

[The Hippy]

Ya that's what I meant..really nice bud trim. Not shake. so yes i agree with all your points.
I've seen that too....it's pretty funny what some folks will try to use for oil....yuck
