Current street prices

Yeah im familiar with the concept. The dispensaries buy there weed from growers. If the grower supplies average weed he gets average prices. If the grower is supplying a grade he gets top dollar.

 

Not everything they sell is going to be super dank. Although the same can be said for coffee shops in holland.

 

Just flipping through some menus though and the bud does seem cheap about

$10 us will get you a gram of top shelf and for about $7.50 will get you the run of the mill bud.

 

The average american wage is a lot lower than ours though. Our average wage is 3 times more than the average there. So its all relative. Basically if you work for an hr to buy a gram here for 20 they work about an hr to come up with that $8 to buy a gram over there. When you look at it like that it makes sense.

 

Its like when you go shopping in the states. Everything seems really cheap because our dollar is so close in value but you forget they get paid so much less than us. What we consider cheap over there is actually expensive to most of them

 

Good point about wage comparison but triple ours? I think its closer to double, and we often pay twice as much for everyday items.

Hey I've mentioned this before, my dad has told me that the oz of weed Vs an oz of gold bout 15 years ago was the same price so for 250 you could of bought an ounce of gold , wish dad knew it was going to go sky high and bought gold instead of the dope

In regards to weed, the prices here aren't that bad by the sounds of things because for some reason it hasn't inflated over the last 20 years, good for smokers but bad for dealers/growers, no wonder quality sometimes suffers.

IMO I think average American wage is 500 because of lack of employment, more people on benefits.

yeah exactly and many more people on minimum wage. the gap between rich and poor is larger. our average is driven up by all the miners etc i imagine

In America they rely heavily on tips etc. Their average wage is poor but some of them make as much each day in tips as they do a wage.

Here in S.A. :   2.5 - 3.0 gm = $25

                             Quarter   =$60

                                   Half   =$120 

                                     oz    =$220-$240

                                     lb     =$3200
