wut.

$50-$60 is average. I've seen them charge up to $75 for some kiiiind shit, but I dont buy the hype. $55/$60 is where I stay. mmm... plump sparkly green buds kinda look like Tinkerbell.

Indeed, I got bamboozled when someone who I thought was a good friend took me to the dealers to get 5g's of headies @ 20$ a g... comes back with the erb in a paper coffee filter... I look at it and I'm like "that's all? it looks really short"... Go to my other friends house w/ whom I was splitting the purchase w/ to weigh it on a digi.. the herb weighs 5g's while it was STILL in the COFFEE FILTER... I was like, how can you short someone an entire gram when yr asking such a high price, I'm not a fool I know what 5g's looks like it don't look like 4g's..

So i don't know who fucked me, did my friend pinch way too much out before he got back to the car? Or did the dealer just fuck me? I don't know who to blame.. Call the shitty friend back, "dude the bag was way short what'r we gonna do about it?" he offered to take me somewhere else to buy bud cheap.. er, why don't you just give me my 20$ back you smack head!


sometimes its better to be patient for a sure thing rather than f w/ the randoms... dealers gotta realize its only a matter of time before you short so many people that you f yrself out of a customer base..

makes me wanna move to malibu where I can smoke with other adults at the dispensiary

This. The hash bars round the East End tend to sell green in 10s or 20s... if you ask for an 1/8 they correct you and say "We've only got 10s and 20s".

Inflation hits everywhere! How long's it been £20 for an 1/8? Think about what you used to be able to get for £20 when you first started paying that!
Where are these bars you speak of? I can get nice hash round here but the buds are always tamps and weigh like a gram for £10. Sometimes I end up going up to my hometown in the midlands to get oz's of nice stuff. It's not about a 200 mile round trip to pick up tho. :cry:

so what EXACTLY do these people think a £20 and a £10 is so i know what they think they are selling weightwise?

There's quite a few dotted around Whitechapel - can't exactly give specifics on a public forum, though. Drop me a pm if you want.

Bud is seriously variable all over that area, because they all love their hash... I get the impression a lot of these places are just middle-manning the whole thing - they get given the stuff in "10s and 20s" and it's whoever they buy from that sets the weight - you end up getting a little less weight, but you get to buy in a nice, safe, indoor environment and have a game of pool, which is always a bonus.

Fuck it yeah, your spot on. People these days arn't buying 8ths, they are buying 20 bags / 10 bags, and its up to the deal on what that 20 bag will weigh. If you want more its gonna cost you more till you've hit that 3.5 mark. Technically we operate the same way as america, pay different amounts each time. US have clocked onto this and are thinking straight, UK is still hopeful that 20 pounds will buy them 3.5.

As much as Ive enjoyed skunk over the 10 years Ive just about had enough of dealing with people trying to make a million from an ounce, little rude boys with no understanding of the measurement system thinking you need them more than they need you, being told they are 5 mins away and still waiting 30 mins later, coughing my lungs up from inhaling sand, sugar, salt etc or searching the globe for a nice bit of old school bud, deciding whether to spead my last £20 on an 8th or a bit of shopping (and normally picking the 8th), waking up late with a cloudy head and being a lazy tnuc, staying in smoking, watching tv and eating junk food when i should be outside enjoying life, if only i wasnt to tired and paro to get off my arse and do summin about it. Oh yeah, and renting a room to a micky mouse dealer who baits up my yard and causes it to get ran up on, in which you get stabbed twice trying to defend your castle.

So after a bit of thinking ive decided to give up smoking skunk, in fact im giving up smoking full stop and im 3 weeks clean today. I dont feel much better and im clucking for a zoot but its all a case of will power and patience right...plus if i didnt have my trusted friend Stella to keep me warm at night i doubt i would have made it this far...oh, one more thing, any one know any good crack dealers in the Croydon area lol :wink:
