How much does an ounce of good marijuana cost?
Edited on Thu May-28-09 10:30 AM by AngryAmish
Not the ultra-premium, but good dope that is easy to smoke.

1. In 1988 dollars probably about $100
Seems like I remember a quarter bag costing $25 back then. I'm going to guess that that an ounce would be about $200 now days. I really don't know. Haven't smoked the stuff since I was a teenager.

5. Is this against the rules?
If so I'll delete. I'm just curious since I don't smoke it.

7. Oh, sorry -- I don't know if it is.
I just thought it might be, and I always wanted to write "Locking in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ."

3. Depends on where you live
In MA, can run you anywhere from about $120-200. The really good stuff? About $400.

6. $200 - $300
that will be nice dense nugs w/ little stem material. no seeds, o/c.

probably better quality than the stuff you remember, since you need to ask i assume it's been awhile.

even if you just do weekends, it's better/cheaper/safer to grow your own. you can get "feminized" seeds easily in an astounding array of cultivars.

i just got my new "ABBA" cd via the royal mail...

:smoke:

10. Tastee!
The "distributor" usually provides some bonus tracks, too.

I do a "Johnny ABBA-seed" with the extras. Like to think of some hiker in the GA state parks enjoying some serendipitous ABBA found along the trail...

9. Eighty dollars...
(If by 'good' you mean a sweet, relaxing buzz that lasts for the duration of a movie and three chili-dogs after half a jay...)

Eighty dollars for a fat ounce in North Central Texas. Not that I'd (ahem) know about any of that stuff... that's what people tell me-- yeah, that's it; people tell me these things.

14. Depends on your location
In the state of Washington, an ounce typically goes for about $300.

Our rich supply from both British Columbia and northern California, which should drive the price lower, is canceled out by the fact that so many people up here smoke it.

By the way, that's the price for the ultra-premium (the quality of which is based on my conversations with marijuana users, as I personally would have no way of knowing), but I haven't heard of any other kind up here.

15. At the dope shops here in town the best stuff or unusual stuff can go
for up to 400. Street prices are about the same for really good stuff. I think a person can get some crappy stuff for a lot less, but I don't know. I've heard of kids having dope w/seeds in it! which is really old school and unheard of in my circle of friends. Prolly get an ounce of mids for 200-250.

28. I know, huh.
Makes a person nostalgic. I remember my first $20 quarter. Packed with seeds. I don't know when I last saw a seed that wasn't purchased by itself.

19. Depends on if you've got friends in high places
It can cost between $200-400 in the Pacific Northwest. Not that I have, or ever had, these friends.

25. When I was in Tacoma I was suprised how high it was
I'd say you have it about right for Wash. St. When I grew up in AZ an OZ has always been traditionally $60-$80. But unlike here in AZ seeds are rare and it isn't like here are stuff is loaded with seeds, it just comes with seeds but it is no big deal. The killer stuff is like $20 a gram in AZ, never paid anymore then that so I wouldn't know how much in OZ.
