So ..Im completely new to weed and was wondering if you guys could give me some tips on prices, hotspots etc, so I dont get ripped off. I live in the northern beaches, Sydney

 

Thanks

Hey BlueButterfly,

 

This is a forum for ppl wanting to grow. Not supply. So prices, hotspots etc aint the sort of thing to be askin. In fact ya could get booted from the forum for askin.

If ya want to know how to grow ask away. But otherwise......... don't ask.

**Just want to say that I've had a quick look at the rules again, and I don't *think* I'm breaking any with the following post...but if any mods/admin sees it to be inappropriate please feel free to alter/erase it** 

 

Hey BlueButterfly. 

 

I'm not about to tell you how or where to score as it's against the rules etc, 

Though I will say this - if you are looking at buying some for yourself it would not hurt to familiarise yourself with the prices you will likely expect.

I mean you'll just have to ask someone you know that smokes I guess, they should give you the heads up.

In my mind there is no such thing as "hotspots", and any known spots or hotspots, are probably not the kind of places you'd want to be associated with. 

 

Most importantly though if you don't want to "get ripped off" you may want to consider purchasing yourself a small set of digital scales, FOR HOME USE ONLY. Do NOT take these with you, as you will be putting yourself at risk carrying them to such a transaction, and it is generally considered poor etiquette,  

Then, when you familiarise yourself with your local prices, you will be able to check on things when you get home. 

Don't be afraid to call bullshit, BULLSHIT though. 

 

That's the only advice I can offer here really. Know what to expect. Now how to check it out. 

 

If you're in the appropriate situation to actually look into a small grow to supply yourself, as merl1n said there's a lot of great info here that could get a beginner started down the right path. 

Best of luck.

Hey mate

 

@ Sydvaper81 I would disagree with u saying bringing scales in is poor etiquette to me it's more of a common sense thing but depends on what ur buying no point for sticks can tell by looking at how big the bag is. Even bluffing dealers to say that u have scales will get u a better deal than normal. You really only need scales for ounces hard to tell weight with some strains ie some strains fluffy looks like heaps or rock solid nugs that look half that.

 

@ Blue butter It sounds to me you should DYOR and learn to grow your own, from what you have posted you really haven't a clue not trying to be an asshole but someone will take u for a ride.

Cannabis is a social drug. It has its roots in many cultures. I suggest you either grow yourself or become socially active, meet new people, ask around and be friendly. Northern Beaches has alot, you just have to keep trying, you will find it.

give the forums a search for prices there is a poll or 2 on here which will give u a good guide on what its worth n what state ppl come from, but thats as far as ull get round here.....best bet is go down ya local pub have a few schooners meet some peeps brin g up casually in conversation

I'm ok with you disagreeing with me. 

Personally though I try to think about things from a position of how they'll effect others as well - while in your mind it could just be a declaration that you're not in this to get ripped off, but then in their perspective that could be 

"Hey, I don't know you so I'd rather be distrustful than to give you the benefit of the doubt", which might be a bit insulting.

Personally I think a better idea is to simply buy a small amount initially, and if you have scales check things out at home where it's safer and won't cause any potential ill feeling.

 

Of course, if you were buying something LARGE from an unknown person...then, maybe then it's ok to ensure your purchase is what they say it is - I think at this point it would be reasonably expected. 

 

I don't agree that you can eyeball anything.

 

 Even bluffing dealers to say that u have scales will get u a better deal than normal. You really only need scales for ounces hard to tell weight with some strains ie some strains fluffy looks like heaps or rock solid nugs that look half that.

 

I've never had to do any of that. 

Hm, in my experience you don't need to kiss ass for honesty or a "good" deal, if you're dealing with an honest straightforward person rather than some kid slinging to support his own habit etc. 

I have to say though, your views on eyeballing etc tell me that you yourself should have more a need for a scale than anyone...no matter who says they can eyeball, they can't. Not reliably so. 

Eyeballing is for the dodgy, and the naive. 

 

Anyone, anyone who's buying at all should have a scale.

I've made my point against bringing scales to a transaction and I stand by it being a bad idea for the reasons I've mentioned. 

Not out to convince you though, but...bluffing dealers? If you don't have a scale, then how do you know you're getting a "better" deal and, than what?

Is your only basis of comparison eyeballs you've done in the past?

A lot of what you're saying doesn't make sense. 

 

This is why I always say if you're buying, try if you can to deal with adults.
