You just got off the phone to your guy, and he’ll be at the usual spot by the time you get there. He pulls up to your car window and hands you the gear, you hand over a fresh £20 note to which shortly after you examine how good the deal was by unravelling layers and layers of cling film. At this point, whether you’re guy has given you a good amount or not doesn’t really matter for the deal is done and you gotta deal with that!
Buying an “EIGHTH”.
Over the years, we would buy our weed from random dealers that we would have their numbers passed onto us. To begin with the deals we’d get good amounts, but taking into considers 10 year ago you could buy a real eighth (3.5grams) of White Widow, or Silver Haze for £20. Real eighth what’s a fake eighth? It’s the sad story of how increased weed prices have damaged our metric system, as “an eighth” has become a term of reference rather than an imperial weight and somehow represents £20 despite the actually weight being tended being far less.
Buying from Kids and Teenagers.
Around East London, there’s been a massive uprise in teenage dealerships, who know nothing else but to reinforce the inaccurate lingo and hence somehow year laters this becomes something we’re all forced to accept. So lets get to the point how bad have things got? If you sadly have no choice and must buy from them you’re looking at: Teenage Dealer Price – 1.6 grams for £20 and get ready to accept the dust, crumbs and steams included in that weight.
Buying From a Better Source.
When purchasing from a more established dealer, who perhaps isn’t a kid going through puberty if you’re lucky these days you can expect. Normal Dealer Price – 2.0 grams for £20 working out at a tenner per gram which isn’t too bad.
Bulk Group Purchasing
This option isn’t available to those who don’t “know a guy, who knows a guy” i.e. somebody who can supply in much larger amounts thus if individuals wanted to band together they could make an instant saving. A good price for an ounce of course varies but lets call £250 the ball mark and that’s for 28 grams. That works out to Bulk Buying Price – 2.24 grams for £20.
Averages Costs of Marijuana Globally
After a lot of Googling I came across similar posts of people talking about the same thing, so with this information I compiled it into a table. Most of the data came from forums of people talking about weed prices so naturally some of it might be complete bs. However most of it did sound like genuine people talking about their daily struggles of buying weed!
