even that seems pretty illogical but could potentially be justified if it were head and neck above other elite strains but 100k? even in a serious cash cropping set up that would be difficult to make sense of.

Oh she's pretty alright. I can see it if you peddle your own, but then again, most smokers only care about price.
There's nice weed for 900 these days. Cash crop means you're wholesaling. That means 900-1000 outdoor and it better be primo or the price is 7-800. 1400 indoor if you do a couple pounds. 11-1200 if it's a box. Maybe. You can get the same for nice indoor blue dream.
I'm suspicious of weed prices I see in here. I'll give you guys a pass because I'm not in your market. But if I can get 2k, I'll fucking ship everything out.
edit:
I saw about 1k pounds packed and ready to go this weekend. I didn't ask about prices because it would have been uncouth under the circumstances. I'll ask him if he'll unload mine at some point. Then I'll know.

I hear you, it’s true, lots of people that only care about price at the same time there are also those who care about everything else except the price within reason.
Even at 16,500 for 5 p’s that’s only 206 a zip. That’s very cheap considering I hear some guys on the end are paying 320+ an oz. this stuff doesn’t really get far. Crops are sized between 13-17 pounds a crop. Very small farm. I wonder what quality is like compared to the Best stuff some of the commenters here have had. Lots of people using this term “quads” and “five star” only for me to try the herb and it’s disgusting or good at best. Nothing that makes me say wow this is phenomenal. People who apparently have herb almost at a similar level don’t take anything less than 200 a zip all the way up like what someone else above me has said, that works out to 3200 but ounces for 200 of this stuff would be a steal.
If you would like to know details check your dm ?
I won't sell most of the weed I have for less than 200 an ounce to an individual. Prices for legit quads are high everywhere. People selling for 1000-1200 are selling mids. Oh and Johnny if you want a sample you're welcome to it hit me up in PM. haha.
That number would only make sense if justin was buying from his mother on the taxpayers dime.

Negative, I have lived in Toronto for over 25 years, I've been going back and forth between BC and there the last 12 years. I don't want to argue over what you have experienced, it's definitely not my place, but I am fairly connected to a wide spread of the market and I would not say that those are average prices in my experience, by quite a bit. Of course grading and everything comes into play and you could find examples of people paying as high a price as the depth of wallet allows. All relative.

my buddy is too busy to grow his own out in ontario so he buys from these delivery places online.
he sent me a can of Mendo Breath, a quarter oz that cost him 90 bucks delivered ..... fkn crazy.
It was good but not as good as the stuff I grow myself.
He would pay me 2400 a P if I would mono crop a few runs for weight but I'm just not into selling weed these days and I like a wide variety so space is limitted.

No I agree these prices are not the norm and I doubt many people are getting a hold of this stuff.
Seems to have stabilized a bit.

I am in Toronto and know know many growers/ "dealers" whom are not at all small time (selling at least 5-10 packs a DAY)
Not once have I ever seen someone 3k or more. Even the best of the best, you're lucky to get 2400-2600 and it better be good for that price. If you're actually getting paid that amount for your weed, congrats. If you're paying it you're getting very much ripped off
even delivery services with quads are selling them for just over 200 an ounce and as low as $100 for decent dubs.
The city is flooded. Everyone can easily get weed. Why would the price of pounds have sky rocketed since last year? Good weed is not hard to find. I would love to see pictures of the buds sellinf for over 3k. It would actually be worth growing indoors again if i could fetch that much
Its more profitable/easier just to get packs shipped in right now IMO. If you're getting over 3k a pound I bet you can find the same shit for 2k out west
Shit, even back in like 2008 very few pounds sold for over 3k. Thats over $200 an ounce... I'm having trouble believing it
And 100k for a cutting? Cmon... I've heard of people paying a few grand but 100k?! That would take a long time to get a good return on investment

Yup.. not sure what type of suckers this guy knows that are paying 3k a pound and for a 5 pack!? Theres no way. Single packs of the cream of the crop can maybe fetch $2500
Prices have gone up but its also never been easier for the average person to buy weed. There would never be a drought causing Prices to go up that much
And, once harvest comes around prices will plummet. Everyone with a backyard is growing their 4 plants which will last a whole household more than a year... Prices will be going down not up. Why would a pandemic effect weed prices? There is no supply chain interruption.

that is an outstanding first post man. I read a whole lot of truth and reality in the entire post. lot's of pure BS on the web these days so it's refreshing when someone tells it how it actually is. I don't believe half the crap i read in the canada section of this site LOL

Haha. Thanks buddy. I'm a long time lurker and had to make an account to comment on this.
not trying to call the guy out as a liar or be rude. he very well could know some rich kids that pay insane premiums for the best of the best but why would a rich weed connoisseur be buying a 5 pack? No one whose buying it to flip for a profit would pay that much as there's no way you could turn a profit if you're paying that much. Maybe if you sold it by the gram haha.
and, a personal smoker usually buys an ounce or two at most.
Theres just so much good weed out here for way cheaper i don't see it being possible especially with how easy weed is to get in this city. Even further north no one pays even close to 3k. The 100k for a cutting just makes it seem even more exaggerated.
I forgot to mention the prices I quoted were for single packs. The prices would be decently cheaper for a 5 pack which is why I'm just having a very hard time believing it as I would be shocked if someone paid 3k for a single pack, never mind a 5 pack.
Competition is fierce here. its never been easier to make connections to the west coast as they are literally openly advertising on social media and other places.
Prices have gone up the past several months, yes. But, not nearly that high. The price of everything has gone up
Come October prices will be lower than ever and weed will be hard to move. This will be the biggest outdoor harvest in Canadian history IMO.
I am friends with two hydro shop owners and this was there most profitable season ever. So many first time growers putting plants in their yards. I know my 4 plants will last my family and myself more than a year and I'd say 1 out of 5 houses have plants in their backyards. Some people i know growing it don't even smoke. They are just doing it because its their right as a Canadian and want to share it with friends who do smoke

Some people just love growing and are good at it. I know one first time grower who knocked it out of the park last year. But he spent time researching and could afford to spend cash on a good setup.
But growing weed can be a bitch pain in the ass for those who don't know how or don't love growing. Most first, second and third time home growers will call it quits. I'm seeing the same thing with Med growers. I already connected 1 with a designated grower. The cost, yield and quality is much better. I don't see a downside for both parties.

Correctamundo!
My "wrong" was for a specific part where people with personal grows still buy weed. I went from 3 grows a year down to 2. I don't grow early May to end Aug - too much hassle and, I am glad I don't with the summer we are having here. Eventually, I would like to whittle it down to 1 grow per year.
I have no tolerance issues and grow more than my needs require. So, I am not heading to the liquor store any time soon. I did by some LA to tide me over. It also showed me that although a novice grower, what I am producing is far superior than what the liquor store has to offer.
No? But you're entitled to an opinion.
Besides personal experience, SM is full of green ass growers who clearly still purchase from the black or white market to supplement their supply, as you did.
And for the reasoning outlined by Tycho, the majority will eventually give up and return to the consumer end. Most people have the space and means to grow a significant portion of their own veg, they just dont.

I don't disagree but why paint everyone with a large paint brush? I use it to medicate. I was running low and knew I would run out before I grew my own medication. The other reason was more out of curiosity, than anything else. Akin to the NFLder who bought the 1st legal gram only to frame it. My curiosity was satisfied, nothing else. I doubt the gov't will be making money off me again Since my medicine chest is satisfied and unless I fuck up with my strain mgt and growing schedule/windows, I should do fine on my own, not to mention its is cheaper and I know what's in my buds etc...
I didn't come out of a 34 yr hiatus as a rec user. I came back as a patient. Growing my own was a no brainer, not to mention tons cheaper
We're cool :friends:

I paint 'em all with the same brush because,
-they're new and inexperienced
-few make use of resources such as this site (watching people catch grow advice on insta, discord, reddit, etc, is very painful)
-they are inherently consumers, preoccupied with work/life. Growing weed is like rearing crotch goblins, takes up time, money and mental resource.
Of course a significant portion are like yourself and will become self sufficient, but that is the minority to my eye.
Take any activity. 9/10 people buy the equipment and use it once/infrequently. 1/10 carries on. Gym equipment, sports, recreation, pretty much anything ya throw a dart at.
