Today, an article in the Post indicated that marijuana procured from the crime syndicate headed up by recently nabbed (jeez, "nabbed"? We need to go on a Post diet) "diamond-studded, bling-wearing" kingpin Orlando Torres was the most costly ever at $560 per ounce. Hmm. We're too high on schwag to figure out whether this is actually true, but we figure that someone out there reading this is a big pothead who likes the fancy stuff (you know, maybe). So let us know. If it turns out that the Post is wrong about something, we give up on the whole Santa = real thing too.
Update: Omg, the Post was wrong!
Here's the final word, from the most coherent of the many who tipped:
Just for the record, most weed of this caliber sells for $600 an ounce an up all day long. Tell ya the truth $560 is a good deal. You could buy that, sell 1.5g's for $50 and still turn a profit and get yourself some free bong hits. (The math: you get 18 1.5g's from a standard 28g oz. 18 x $50=$900 .... 900gross-560cost=$340 profit per ounce) Same with Diesel, another popular brand. And it's not called Purple Haze, it's just Haze, what dipshits. Not to mention, it's the Kush that is killing shit right now, selling for upwards of $8k a pound. Not that I would be an expert of anything, just sayin'.
N.Y. Purple Haze Daze Over [NYT]

Purple Haze is too expensive. How much for Toledo Window Box?
Wal-Mart sells this shit for $4.00 an ounce, and it's prime Szechuan.
Dear Interweb People:
$150 a quarter for the Kind Buddy is pretty standard for delivery service in NYC. Economy of scale works in reverse in that NYC delivery service biz: an OZ is an OZ.
If you buy eighths, they stiff you. An eighth is 3.5 grams, but the $50 boxes you have delivered are usually 3 grams. So $600 an OZ seems standard, unless you have special connects, and it's weighed exactly at an OZ. (In other words: You don't get bonuses for buying bulk, you get penalized for buying rinky dink amounts.)
This is different than Mexican swag bought by the kilo. I bought a rock-hard kilo in Mexico City once, still wrapped in the foil -- it was actually 1.3 kilos. It was $90 and we split it four ways -- a pain in the ass to cut with a bread knife, let me tell you. Six months later I still had a chunk the size of a softball in my freezer.
Yeah, I know, most of you people are square (and probably make less money than I do, legally, even though I have been known to toke), but I though I'd share for those of you out there that are interested.
Love,
Mr. Scribbles
Now you see, I refuse to speak this Baskins-Robbins-esque language to my dealer. It just encourages them to make up more wacky dipshit names for future strains. And frankly, how many secret handshakes am I intended to memorize?!
You froze your pot?
What did it do to it?
correct on the diesel, the haze and kush. blue dream from san francisco (amsterdam seed humboldt county varietal grown with microbiologicals) also known as "mommy!" for upwards of $900 per.
God, I just read a note from somebody who has dope delivered. I bow before you. I don't even know how to find just one joint to buy that isn't dog doo. Help.
Freezing locks in the goodness.
I can't believe this haze and blue dream crap. What next, a New York Times weekly column? Man, in the 60's I was quite happy with Mexican shit for $30 an ounce. What are you, morons? Do you bake that $900 crap into brownies?
Redondo - How else do you get drugs if you don't get it delivered?
'dondo - you can still get mexican shit, for $250 an oz.
if you're still looking for stuff at 60's prices, there'll probably be a long dry spell in your future.
and, ps., no one bakes anymore either.
peace.
When are the Canadians going to pile in here with the mocking and the bragging?
Hey. It's tough for us too. If you don't live in BC, that is. If Raincoaster hadn't been executed we could ask him.
Though there are a lot of growers around Ontario/Quebec, it's still all about finding the right connection.
Though to be honest, I'm only about two degrees from a pretty good connection, so I guess I can't really complain
mr-scribbles.
Are you single? I promise not to shit in your kitchen.
Almost always available around NYC... $160 oz. Mex brown, $400 oz. stinky green, $600+ oz. quality name brand (Jack Herer was making the rounds recently.)

I wish I was rich and fancy. Alls I get are shake, stems and seeds, you know the kind that doesn't have names other than 'Crap'.
The Jack Herer is no joke guys. I know someone who has a service and I sampled it and instantly became peice of toast.
I wrote a long comment before on the finer points of haze and prices but it didn't go through. Who cares! the truth is, pot prices go up like anything else. I personally like both the dirt and the designer stuff because you get too used to one type and need to change it up.
Lastly, to all the tokers out there... DO NOT SMOKE OUTSIDE! Unless you're in the middle of a baseball field or a park, wait until you go home because a night in jail with real criminals is no fun.
Those names are just as stupid as what we called "maui wowie". Purple Haze was acid. And 'Dondo - if you're looking for $30 an ounce shit, you can get it in the Whole Foods spice aisle. It's called Organic Oregano.
Reports of my death are...highly accurate, Alfonso, but you missed the resurrection part. Twice. What can I say? I'm hard to kill.
I'd have been gloating in this thread earlier, except that the windstorm knocked my power out. Let me just drop the info that in Nelson, BC, they thought there was a dog flu going around because all the dogs in a part of town were acting funny; turned out they were just eating the feral pot!
Dear Interweb People:
Here is a short primer on this whole "good weed" vs. "dirt weed" thing.
To the old hippie that posted here: the pot today is grown differently and is like 20 times more potent than any "Acapulco Gold" from 1971, a guy I know does it this way:
Steal some huge halogen ballasts and bulbs used in street lamps and building lighting from a municipal junkyard (where they store extra stuff, like street lamps). Yeah, you can buy them, but they're expensive. One 1000-watt halogen bulb will grow about eight plants really well.
You need air conditioning, because the light is quite hot and will fry your plants. You probably don't need it in the wintertime. My friend in Austin taped off a bathroom that has a window unit attached.
Preferably you obtain grafts from somebody, otherwise order the seeds (Blueberry is a good strain, my favorite is White Widow, but if you smoke it, don't plan on doing anything for about 6 hours because it's quite potent), then it takes a generation or two to get to seedless.
(Starting grafts is a bit complicated, requiring plastic wrap covering of a soggy environment and anti-fungal ointment for the plants.)
Assuming you start with grafts (they've already been rooted though the above complicated process with that hormone that rose breeders use to graft strains, available at any plant store), you grow them 12-12: 12 hours of intense lights on, 12 hours of no light.
Spray the plants with water regularly. Blow a fan on them so the stems get sturdy (otherwise they grow up and flop over and die -- they need wind).
After eight weeks: drop the hours of light to 8 hours.
Two weeks later you will have sticky little Christmas trees worth about $1200 to $2400 apiece (2 to 4 OZs, 4 if you go all "bonzai" on them and get four "crowns" instead of two, each making about an OZ).
Of you start with seeds: grow them until you can determine the gender (look it up on the web) -- kill the males before they fertilize the females.
Those females will be seedless, and you gcan graft from them (look it up -- the way rose breeders do it).
I hope this helps in making the world a better place for Bob Marley Frat Boys seeking to break form their bonds of oppression.
Love,
Mr. Scribbles
And of course you all heard about the Asian pot ring that was operating in suburban neighborhoods at an estimated value of $75 million per year? The police always weigh the dirt when they say they seized so many pounds of plants, though, so hard to take their word...
I seriously hope all of you are voting, it's time to decriminalize! (At least, legalization even better.)
Dang. Here in SF, 50 for an eighth is pretty standard (90 for a quarter, 175 a half oz, etc). And you either have it delivered or go to the medical cannabis dispensaries to get it. What gets my goat is that I used to have friends who grew and would sell for 250 an ounce for Orange Crush and Haze. Quite the markup when you gotta get it in smaller quantities.
Here's my situation im an affiliate (with a lot to say on the topic anyone who wants to talk PM me) in the northwest who finds great quality at 50 a quarter and that price pretty much goes straight across to a 200 dolla oz however if u portray yourself as a jane's john you will get a jacked price. you have to not only know the right people but be the right people in their eyes.
Wow a dude could go broke paying those prices! I just bought an ounce of good quality weed for $90 Cdn. Top notch stuff will run you $140-160 Cdn an oz. That being said, there are an estimated 2,500-3,000 indoor grow ops in the City of Vancouver alone so the numbers favour the consumer up here. Now if the prices of houses fall below $700,000 we would be set, but I digress.............
