Give a bag of high grade seed to ANY real farmer, .......and stand back. If it ever becomes legal those dudes in overalls will literally "smoke" anyone else. Green side up.

i'm sane.

lol.
I'm Not!

I think maybe you guys missed the point of my thread. we're just talking the established price of weed for the majority of people.

lets set another condition in here . . . . if it were ever LEGALIZED and weed was suddenly under the rules of perfect competition. lets say most weed (85-90%) is grown outside.

with THOSE conditions . . . . what do YOU guys think a fair price of weed would be?

I say easily 100 dollars an oz.
This is kinda silly.

Cannabis will be legalized soon in California. Probably not the first time it goes to the Assembly, but who knows, Cali is broke. What you have not even considered here in your pipe dream of what it should cost.....TAXES! The bill in the Ca Assembly calls for a tax of $50/oz...(215 patients exempt) and $5000 license to grow commercially (not hemp)

Even if you grow outside, there is a cost to your perfect spot...you either own a nice chunk, a private backyard or you are trespassing. For most people this is not a reality...Neighbors too close, apartment/condo dweller, utility easement, yada yada yada.

Is pot too expensive...of course. But if you are growing huge outdoor plants which produce pounds...you should be selling pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to bring the price of weed down, sell cheaper pounds! Instead of putting some local schmuck out of his free head stash by selling cheaper ounces until it's all gone and then expect indoor growers to be charities.

$200-$250 an ounce for good pot is not unreasonable....IT IS A KICK ASS DEAL! And should be reserved for multiple zips and the kindest of bros.

This is just so f'n obvious here, but nobody is really forced to buy over priced bud...I sure as hell don't. But then again...I can't leave! I get up no later than 7am even on days off...I need to be home near 7pm...my entire house smells like a huge bud...My room has not been completely dark for 10 months...the sound of fans ring in my head...I have to run my AC when it is hot...even if I am not home...I put in 1-2 hours a day in the garden...I cannot have guests...etc, etc.

Growing has many costs.

If you feel you are paying too much for fine Cannabis...grow it your self. If it were that easy, this thread would not exist...but it is! sort of.

maybe you should read the past 10 pages over and over, and think REAL hard.

maybe then you'll figure out my point. and that what you just said shows you're a total moron and don't understand this situation at all, you're merely talking based on your opinion rather than actually thinking about the real costs of weed.

if I actually tried to calculate how much my CHRONIC weed should cost per oz . . . . . it would be way lower than you think. even with a 50 dollar tax. it would be 150 tops.

I don't care if you think that's wrong, my weed turns out high grade, you can look on previous pages to find out. and watch my grows in the future.

either way, I spend probably 200-300 bucks for an entire outdoor grow. the labor aint shit.

but whatever man, go live in your hole where nobody HAS to buy from dealers overcharging . . . . . . . maybe if it was legalized your little idea could work.

Happiness lies within. No amount of money or cars can change that. I pursue other goals. Bigger game....
Idk dude a lambo could make a lot of people really happy. People say money doesn't buy happiness but real talk money buys things that can make me happy...so wtf? Think of living in a fucking forest with no material possessions...fuck that:peace:

Oh ya and this thread was a jumble of messages and miscommunication...frustratingbongsmilie

wow, I'd love to live in the forest with nothing but my weed. and maybe a decent house just big enough for me and maybe one or two other people.

seriously, maybe you can't comprehend it, but many of us can comprehend living in a non-materialistic society in which happiness is something you find within yourself, not within all the bullshit you buy.

I sure can. I've always wanted to be self-sufficient and live somewhere
where I can hunt game, fish, and grow veggies all year long.

But I really love the internet. :mrgreen:

So maybe I will move to Alaska, start a garden AND greenhouse, fish and hunt, and be happy. :mrgreen:

When are you gonna learn that your neighborhood price is not gonna be the same everywhere?
I'm sure you pay much much more on things that don't cost as much where I live.
Like housing.
I can buy a 3 br. 2200 sq. ft. home in a very good neighborhood/school district, that's in excellent condition for under $125k

You may not be paying that much on weed. But I guarantee that your paying somewhere.

when are you going to realize that the only reason prices are this ridiculous is because there is no regulated market?

jesus, I've been chanting this throughout this thread and it seems like only 30% of you seem to GET IT.

Wow dude I gotta say a big :finger: is in order here (first time!)

You see, here we totally agree...still looking for the property, but an Earthship is in my future.

Settle down dude. we believe that you grow kick ass bud outdoors...I do not doubt the powers of our star and rich Mother. Anyone who thinks different should check out FDD's grows and SubCool's photo essay of a med grow that is all given to terminal patients for free.

I do not sell pot. I have given it to friends and accepted limited donations.

I also do not buy pot. I hope I never will have to buy it again. If you want to lower the price of bud...grow your own! It costs me in electricity, nutes, coco etc ~$28 an ounce. I really find no more reason to complain about the price of bud.

And dude I get it! I have been doing this since 1983...I know you can grow a shitload of bud outdoors, just because I have seen it done.

Now you say this is without legalization...So that changes things up a bit...I spent my first 23 years in the midwest where pot is very much illegal...I understand when I pay for bud, I am paying for a felony.

How much would you commit a felony for?

Again dude I get it...what you are talking about is not physics...I just do not 100% agree. I could call you names or tell you to read the thread over and over in hopes that you will see it my way, or someone else way, but not only is that pointless...It is just not nice...:peace:

yeah, no offense to anyone anymore . . . I'm totally done with this thread. I hope something was realized through this, but I'm sure nothing was.

all I know is, people that buy it are the victims of a fucked up system, in which growers are the only ones getting the fair end of the deal. I hope one day, buyers get this fair end of the deal as well . . . .

That's a choice made by the SELLER. A personal choice. Don't jack the cost onto someone else, because of your choice. Either accept the risks, or don't.

I don't agree with people who say it should be free to be honest. There are PLENTY of things that grow in the ground that you don't think twice about buying.

Not everyone wants to grow there own, i certainly cant be bothered to grow vegetables etc so i buy them along with most of the population!

Its legal in Amsterdam but r the prices low because of this? HELL NO
 
you cant complain if they are to expensive, its ok if your the distributor and nort the comsumer, round my are is £12.50 for 3 shit fukin spliffs, they wiegh tens at 1.4 and eights at 2.9, FUKIN WACK have to missionn to get a nice portion, so yeah in my case fukin extortionate
