Drug dealers are getting smart (or customers are getting stupid)

So one of my dudes is selling "dubs" for 15. He just told me he got them all bagged out to .6g. Now around here "dubs" go for around .7 or 1g of the piffer, which is what he's selling. Dimes are usually .5. He is making so much more money selling to dumbasses for 5 more dollars for only .1 of a gram of some piff. What a genius! I won't be buying that shit, but I know plenty of people that will.
​

 

Lol I always thought a dub was 20$ worth of weed, period.

Around here you would get ~1.4g of dank

 

Customers are definitely getting dumber. He's selling to high school kids most likely.

 

lol this.

if i meet a new possible connect and they say they sell "dubs" i immediately laugh at them and ask if they take me for a fool.

 

gah. so glad this area doesn't use slang like "dubs" and shit
we just say the amount, in grams, that we want...so much easier..and then if it doesn't weigh out to the amount you asked for you can tell the dealer to fuck off.
drug dealers are just getting more greedy, not smarter. sorry to hear, man.

 

A "dub" is just $20 worth of weed, whether it's .1g or 4g. lol

 

Indeed, though 90% of the time that meant a gram even, except if it was mids. But drug users, you've just had your first taste of economic inflation.

My friend always use to weigh the bags out to .9, looks like a gram, customer can't complain if it's .1 off, yet for every ounce you sell you save near 3 grams.

 

Indeed. 3g for free:sifone:

 

^^ Yep, that's how people I know even carefully shave points. The highschool kids never question being .1 or .2 off when buying a 20 dollar bag, and yet it belongs to the dealers scheme that that .1-.2 is missing lol.

 

This!

 

Hell drug dealers should be more greedy, they're not risking their ass in going to jail for the good of the drug using population.

 

all the people I know only sell quarter+ :/

 

lolwut?
I complain if my bag is short. Yes, even if it's .1 short, and I make it clear that I won't go back to that dealer again by using another dealer for awhile, and when I do end up going back to them I make sure they make up whatever they shorted me when I buy the next sack.
why should they be more greedy? there's a set price for a set amount, if they can't deliver, they shouldn't be dealing, that's called ripping someone off.

 

No, it's called economics. Weed is a general price in the area because if someone tries to charge higher, someone who can get weed cheaper or for the same price will just undercharge said person and get all their business. It's the same way the non drug world works, the price of bulk in the area sets the price for general price for retail. There's no such thing as ripping someone off in the drug world, you may feel like you got ripped off, but you're not the drug dealer's friend(unless you actually are), they want your money, that's it. They don't charge out the ass because supply and demand says the supply is large enough to meet demand at the current price level.

But no, most people won't complain over .1 because unless you have a good scale that could easily just be a scale variation. Plus most people buying grams don't weigh them out.

*edit*
Anecdotal story. In 12th grade everything around here went dry at once for like a week or 2, except one person I knew in our grade. His dealer was still good. Buut, because everyone was now coming to him at once, he said his dealer was out too and he only had what he had on him till his guy reuped. So he told people who weren't actual friends $25 a gram, and they gladly paid it.

 

when you agree on a certain amount of drugs for a certain price, and you don't get that certain amount for the agreed price, that's ripping someone off...how does that not make sense to you?

 

why shouldnt a weed dealer make as much as possible at all times...

its buyer beware and it was me that was takin all the risks..

whike you guys were bangin your beaus and slaggin each other on facebook..i was downtown or the east end or jane corridor or regent park or some other dangerous as fuck place finding weed so you could have a good friday night

and i charge for that

 

Caveat emptor

Because if I'm selling drugs I'm not there to make your life better, I'm there to make money. It's an agreed upon that sugar is generally about $4 for a 5 pound bag. Well why doesn't A&P say fuck it and charge $20 a bag? Because no one would buy their sugar, but if A&P was suddenly the only place that had sugar in the county you damn well bet they'll be charging out the ass.

Economics work on supply and demand, unlike grocery stores though, dealing drugs will land you in prison if something goes wrong. Drug dealers are there to make money, if they charge too much, no one will buy their drugs, if they charge too little, they won't make a profit. What is so hard to understand there's no such thing as getting ripped off except to the person who thinks it in their mind because they're pissed they're forced to go to the only person who has what everyone wants. If you think you're being ripped off for say $30 a gram, then why the fuck did you buy it?

Oh right, because said person wanted something bad enough to realize the supply/demand situation was worth paying for it. Or as you call it, being ripped off.

 

chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choooo

 

That's not even what's he saying. If I agree to pay you 20$ for a gram and you try to bring me .8 you are ripping me off, plain and simple. We agreed to 20$ for 1 gram and if you don't hold up your end you are an ass. Economics would be entirely different, that would be telling your customers that your price went up and that you could no longer do 1g for 20$ and that now 20$ would only get them .8. If they bought that .8 for 20$ in that scenario it would just be a tax, no one is getting ripped off essentially as both parties got what they wanted.

 

the thread title doesnt make sense cause this is one of the oldest arguments ever...i am sure the fuckin cavemen had this same talk....just not on the net
