The weedman ain't always cool

Especially not for dank ass bud like this gorrilla glue I’m trimming.

People think your labour is free. It’s a weed that grows itself after all.

That’s why I stayed in red states. Even in green states, most dispensary weed is trash and has little to no terpenes left, so you’re still getting what you pay for. I regularly put out $15/g homegrown, $350/oz without problem. Once it’s legal, the price point drops through the floor and it loses its appeal as far as a source of income goes. Then all that is left standing are the huge mersh merchants who focus on quantity over quality.

Yeah, I’m more expensive, but you aren’t going to wonder if you shit your pants when you farted for two hours if you’re smoking dispensary weed either. You’ll be stoned enough, but not watching a powered off tv and bopping your head to a box fan in the window stoned, and it won’t taste anywhere near as good or burn anywhere near as clean or be anywhere near as well-cured. Dispensary weed is utility weed. Choosy smokers choose krickit.

I see we’ve all been there before, that’s reassuring.

“Never hurts to ask” – unless the ask is insulting.
$100 / oz? wow. I might offer that TO a friend if I knew he was having a rough go, but that’s a big ask FROM a friend…
(Crap - I had a cosmetics lady offer me $25 just for an oz of defol’d fan leaves last grow.)

I have one dude I fuck with. Actually the only dude I fuck with. Safer that way. Also family so even safer. Always haggling. When Im on empty I see the shit he pays 1800 # for and its like wtf you bitching about? Shit looks like it was blasted. 0 trichomes. Looks like the non bricked mids/regs from back in the day except with no seeds.

Shit, I’d just kick em a quarter and say get me back when you can, not parting with a solid onion for $100 though, not unless it semi-consigned and I have the balance coming back, and even then, you know what Biggie said:

"Number 10, a strong word called consignment
Strictly for live men, not for freshmen
If you ain’t got the clientele, say “hell no!”

I often give it away but only to people I know will really appreciate it.

Dickweed lowball wannabe custies can go to the dispensary for all I care.

All my years of cash cropping every single crop went to one person and one person only. In those days it was usually $2600-$3400cad a lb . There were Americans at one point who were more then happy to pay $5000 American per lb . Which was crazy to Canadians because the CAD was worth 52-53 cents on the dollar at the time.
Growing and selling to random buyers or multiple buyers are both bad ideas.

I solved all those problems and no longer sell any of the weed I grow. Any extra goes to those who need it most at no cost.

I did things pretty much the same way. Just grow for friends and family now and the pleasure I get out of growing. That said a few dollars just for my time trim jail is appreciated :smiley:

I’m not active in the weed business (yet), but I do know from other industries how hard it is to raise a price on clientele. Especially when the number is about half the going rate out here.
I’ve also found that those customers seem to talk the loudest, and you end up with dozens of low-ball offers from everyone they talked to.
You’ll find them reminding YOU what YOUR price is on the next sale too - now the customer sets the price.

Best to either skip the sale and give them some as a friendship gesture, and let them know THE price for your ounces.
Don’t ever price down, have good justification for pricing up - “Bro, smell / look at THIS”

FWIW - My FRIENDS know they can just ask and they’ll get whatever I’m able to give.
They do the same. That’s friendship.

That’s exactly what I was just thinking, I’ll pay $2 a gram and use it to make some cheap ass bubble. I’m really interested!! Can’t say the last time I bought weed, but I will for that price.
Guess it’s time to get one of those bubble washing machines. :grin::grin::grin:
