But it's nice to have a place that gives options. i found 20/gram which is probably the same as your finding at 15 but i would have payed a premium for the exact same stuff if it had been handled nicely and never compressed. i'm not price sensitive between 20 and 30 a gram but 250 /gram and up is ridiculous in the context of the thai economy fortunately my backyard will probably keep me out of the shops indefinitely. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shape and colour of bottle is not the same category as compressed vs well manicured buds. Not even close. right? Not even the same topic is it?

For quality indoor, dried and cured, 250/gram is probably a decent wholesale price. Not sure why you're even concerned about prices given how proficient you are as a grower?

It seems a shame to throw it all away. Can't understand the current high prices, everyone growing must be producing far more than they can consume, 250bht+/gm is madness. When all this started, if i remember correctly some were charging around 1000 per gram, and astonishingly some people were actually paying that much for it ! Unbelievable, It must be the first time that a substance actually became more expensive after it was legalised , Even 250 baht per gram is, as you rightly say, absolute madness. any body suggesting otherwise is probably involved in the supply, either that or they have just been conditioned to paying ridiculous prices, due to coming from countries where prohibition has artificially inflated the price of a plant which is no more difficult to grow than a tomato plant or any other vegetable, and as such, in my opinion, should be priced accordingly. Likewise if you end up with a bit too much its no big deal to give a bit away to "friends and family" just like when the mango trees all flower together , or just bin it lol Had it never been illegal in the first place, it would probably be sold quietly in the local markets at around 5 baht a bag, by the same old women who sell the betel nuts and accompanying paraphernalia. As far as I 'm concerned that's kind of how it should be. Can't say I'm a fan of the designer, neon lit "dispensaries" Just to put things into perspective , I'm In the Uk at the moment and an ounce of weed is costing me £200 which is not much more than 250bt a gram. It breaks my heart after paying 400 bt for 100g of brick People charging or promoting those sort of prices are not doing us any favours Edited January 28, 2023 by Bday Prang 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you select wine and beer on the shape and colour of the bottle? The sad fact is, for many it probably does , We have all heard of the "placebo effect" its a well known medical phenomenon, in this case it has a much stronger effect , as its generally accompanied by the reluctance to accept that one has paid over the odds for something, I remember the advert for Stella lager "reassuringly expensive" was the phrase they used . Throw in the encouragement of a few "experts" and a bit of herd mentality and many sadly fall for it Same with the shape and colour of the bottle and even the label and the name printed on it , none of that has come about by accident, packaging is a key part of "Advertising and Marketing" which, like hypnosis, seems to have a profound effect on certain people people, and again herd mentality does the rest These days there are also the excruciatingly annoying internet influencers spreading the b/s too . Despite what many believe, the alcohol in VSOP Brandy , Absolute Vodka, and Lao Khao is chemically identical However, as I said , some people are more resistant to hypnosis than others, this would explain why some, like us, were happy with 400bt lumps of brickweed , But did you notice the pack like mentality with all the negative comments that were posted regarding brickweed , by people who were obviously subconsciously regretting paying over the odds for their designer bud . Did you also notice that It was about that time that a few "experts" appeared on here, reinforcing the benefits of "top price weed" and some also telling us how difficult it was to grow "properly"? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheaper in larger quantities. I wouldn't call it premium, but it's very good. Has a few seeds. It's also sold in a brick form for about the same price. Price reflects quality I have found. I don't see a single trichome on those buds so that is probably a fair price for that stuff. I have said it before and will say it again, premium craft-grown weed costs more because it is looks better, tastes better, smokes better and is normally much stronger with better effects than bush weed. To achieve all of that takes skill, effort and time, which most local growers don't have or won't commit to. It is then up to the consumer to decide whether they pay for that superior product or not. 14 hours ago, Bday Prang said: reinforcing the benefits of "top price weed" and some also telling us how difficult it was to grow "properly"? Premium weed is extremely difficult to grow properly, which is why it commands a higher price. Also, I will add that most commercial growers will not grow the best strains but only those with the most yield, which is why you see so much of the same stuff being sold everywhere. Quantity over quality. If you want really good weed you have to look for those places selling premium craft-grown stuff in fairly low quantities. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
