Street Price Of Cannabis

[TommyC]

At the risk of shocking/offending the AB community, I'm trying to find out what is the current "going rate" street price of cannabis, if possible - not in fact for my own benefit, but simply because I've recently discovered that a brother-in-law is smoking cannabis regularly, and the figure I've been told he spends on it seems astronomical to me. Is there a generally similar "street-price" in most areas of the UK, or does it depend like so many things on "market" availability, region etc..? Also, does something in the region of £100 per week for a single smoker seem even remotely correct ?

Any information or knowledge gratefully received.

£100 per week sounds plausible to me.
I have a friend and I know he buys £50 of the stuff every Friday from his "friend".
Apparently, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets, so my friend buys 1/4 oz for £50, but if he bought an ounce, it'd cost £150.
I'm just glad I don't smoke ......

Tommy....not being a drug user, I can't really answer your question, but don't forget, most cannabis users smoke theirs. A packet of ordinary cigarettes would cost at least £10 a day, so work it out !

£50 a QUARTER!!?? I've been away for a very long time.

A young guy at work reckons he is trying to cut back .. He spends £6-800 a month on it, for his own use.

He also spends at least a fiver a day on energy drinks .. just to get him through the day.

Alabama, your friend must be making a lot of money.......

[Samuraisan]

Typo, sorry , not Alabama, alavahalf.

I'm guessing that the pound deal has left the building. :-)

[alavahalf]

A lot of money in your eyes perhaps .. he earns about 2k a month and has enough to feed his habbit and enough to pay his rent. Food is pretty low on his requirements .. he is in a bit of a state. Really sad to see him wasting his life for weed.
Douglas .. if you only have a pound all you will get is an energy drink !

That wasn't very nice. You have no idea what a lot of money is in my eyes. But he is funding an expensive habit.

[alavahalf]

Sorry Sam .. I meant a lot of money to some, but to user it's not. Not if he can afford it.

haha Douglas, in my day a quid deal kept 4 people happy for an evening.

When I was drummer in a band, after about a four hour stint in a sound proof recording studio rehearsal room (you could still smoke inside at the time), cannabis was technically free (Bloomin' guitarists what are they like ;-) I'd be leaving high as a kite on some days, passive smoking at it's best. I didn't know it was that expensive these days.

If it's dried leaves they use try substituting Tea Leaves. The best Yorkshier blend wouldn't cost THAT much.

''does something in the region of £100 per week for a single smoker seem even remotely correct?''

Yes. Tolerance levels rise over time from regular use so you'd need more to achieve the same high.

Joking aside...bad news... get over it and move on...have
Seen too many progress ...some die...

I didn't mean to make light as it is a pathway to stronger and harder drugs a really good man and fantastic Musician (Guitarist not the same one in my above post) passed away a few years ago because he progressed down the path of taking stronger and harder drugs.
