Thats 3,75g and costs between 18,75 and 28,12 euros with normal connections, no tourist rip off on the street.

weed prices in Europe are pretty ridiculous compared to U.S, thats all i can say

For the tourist maybe, but from what i've seen the USA peeps post here.. The prices in my area (Euro) beat USA prices by a long shot. Then again it's more 'one hand scratches the other' then justa dope dealer cashing in on stoners. Like growers for growers, u know.

Never had American weed so i cant really comment on the quality, but my shits the bomb and that's all i need to know really. :rasta:


Oh and might i ad The Metric System Rules!!! :redface:

American prices very greatly.You can pay 6-800 dollars for an ounce of chronic in DC New York or Cali,I think it sucks ass and I remember vividly where I came from.I sell blockhead at 250 an OZ 4K an lb and I think thats pretty fair.I used to anyway.Now its time to take care of dear ole mom.EDIT It just occurred to me that I've never bought erb in any of the places I mentioned,this is what I hear from the media.Ooops.Why dont you folk let me in on the real prices in these areas lol

a gram between 5 and 10 euros (6.85 and 13.7 usd )
and the weed is indoor only.
Hash is cheaper than that but it sucks.

So european prizes are not higher than us prizes.

@hazyfontazy, thats true, hehe
and the metric system rules.

europe grows the best american genetics


I'm going to have to agree with Hazy here. Think about it, when you read all the old articles from way back in the day. You always hear stuff like. Breeder's brought back from their trip from Cali or USA to holland and breed genes in holland. Allot of the old stories i heard. Where from seeds or cuts brought to holland and worked over the years, but that's not to say the genes are from other countries. Gypsy, post that also. Genes being from other countries like Asian and such. The question being American vs European weed. Most of all the old stores have been smuggling seeds or clones back to holland to be worked into what they have today. Just my 2 cents, I could careless. As long as i have access to what i want. I really don't care. I just want to in joy whatever is out there and hope it's shared with others.
Take care,
BG

but recently here in Switzerland... the liberal pot scene we had going on a few years ago has been going down hill for about 2 years...
Right now it seems like the entire french speaking side of switzerland is dry...

Then grow more pot and spread more seeds. I think the question of Europe vs America is pointless.
A few chest-beaters will of course claim that their neck of the wood is the best and fuck the rest, but who cares?
There are regions in the Americas with great pot culture (BC, Humboldt, Oaxaca, etc) and there are regions in Europe with an equally great pot culture (Holland, Spain, Switzerland, etc).
Certain areas thrive and can develop their Cannabis culture when local politics and legislation is openminded, while others are oppressed. Their "greatness" is often related to whims of politicians.
Sometimes politics change. It's what happened in Belgium and Switzerland (they more or less de-criminalized Cannabis in the early 21st century, only to fall back on oppression a few years later), and it seems to be the case in Canada as well.
As to strains and genetics, you often hear that European genetics is all Skunk hybrids, and that it all came from the US originally. It is rather retarded as argument, and you could turn it around and say that the most hyped-to-death American genetics today is OG Kush, Chemdog and Diesel, which are all related to eachother. So much for variety.

And when you think about it, where did all the American and European genetics come from in the first place? Why should the discussion be limited to the Industrialized continents, simply because they're over-represented on the internet?
The true giants in Cannabis culture is India and the South East Asian region (Thailand, Cambodia, etc). This is where drug type Cannabis has been cultivated to perfection for thousands of years, this is where Cannabis is intimitely mixed into religion, culture and way of life. This is where the past, the present and probably the future of Cannabis culture is to be found.

:badday: :badday: MAN! I don't wanna read that. I travel to Switzerland once every year or three and I love smoking by Lake Zurich in the park in the big field with the hundreds of other stoners. Don't tell me this is going away. Can you explain down hill?

Wow, I can find you a $15 half on St. Catherine's street in under 10 minutes. Is this a good indicator of your country's marijuana quality? Especially considering that half traveled from Mexico, through the states, over the border?

There's a difference between bud you find in a country (a lot of it on the coasts in Mexi Brick), and bud GROWN in a country.

Like I think I said earlier (maybe I didn't post in this yet, I dunno) this is a moot question. Genetics has less to do with quality than TLC. I mean clearly you can't grow out a seed from a shitty bag and get a cup winner, but it will realitically be better quality than the original bag it's from.

Sorry I just filled up,2.85 per gallon lol.I can honestly say the best weed in my area is right here,as it should be for all of you if you use the grow forums and seedbanks..The only thing that has come close in five years has been my cousins hydroponic blockhead grown from my pheno,it doesnt compare to BH grown in ocean forest with PBP and FF nutes though.The best weed shouldn't be in that Country state or city,it should be in your possession..
