How much do you spend on herb and what you get for your money ?

Abysmal Vapor · May 10, 2012

I hope this is the right place to post this thread

.
So guys how much do you spend on herb daily/weekly/monthly ?
And how much and what quality do you get for your :2c:

?
------------------------------------------------------------
When i was using highest quality i could reach with smallest loads via vapor UD bongrip ? I could last 5 days with a gram divided into roughly 20 doses. A gram of the best quality costs me 15 euro which makes 3 euro per day.. roughly 90 euro per month. (1/3 of my income and i have above the average.. LOL )
Now since i am having it hard time with $ and my UD is not working i am using between 0.5-1 g into 4-5 sessions in my SV and i get half as satisfaction compared to use commented above. Mid quality is 5 Euro
so my uses varies between 2.50-5 euro a day/80-150 euro month... with the tolerance growth mentioned and satisfaction decreased it became even more expensive than using highest quality on tripple price.

I've been vaping for almost a month now, and at first I was consuming way more than I am now to get a moderate medication. I usually buy Oz or half Oz because a gram here is 20$. When I combusted it was an Oz a month and sometimes it would last less. Now I'm consuming about half an O a month. The flowers I buy are all sensemilla but are not the highest quality, 8/10. 170$ for half Oz.

OhTheAgony · May 10, 2012

It varies per day but I roughly use between 0,5 and 1 gram a day now, and an average of about 5 grams a week.

My UD died last night too though, so I expect my usage to go up a little until I receive my replacement.

At coffeeshop prices good quality bud would cost me around 8 euro's per gram, but I recently got a good deal on big bag of quality weed for 3,50 per gram. I guess that took me from an average of 5,60 euro's a day to 2,45 a day.

If all goes well this will be the last weed I bought in a while though *crosses fingers for a sunny summer*

Great topic! Well the reason I came to vaping 3 months ago was because my lungs were always full of junk because I just can't bring myself to stop using or slow down on my cannabis intake. I have anxiety disorder and was on benzo's for it and just hated them. So I medicate with THC. On top of that I love the sensation of smoking which is why vaporizing never worked for me until I found these forums and got a quality vape that gives big hits. (Thanks!) That being said I usually grab an oz. of mids at a time and it will usually last me 2 weeks. I have a lot of friends and had hippies for parents who taught me to share

so I am not consuming it all, but I am consuming the vast majority of it myself. I can grab a 1/4 of really good shit for the same price but, it will only last me a less than a week. I know I am in the minority but, I prefer quantity to quality MOST times. Now to be fair, the mids I get are pretty damn good for mids. Almost no seeds and very good, piney flavor usually. So I guess I would say that I go through about 4 grams of mids a day, or 1.5 to 2 grams of Kind bud........ Damn I'm a fiend!

djonkoman · May 10, 2012

I used to spend nothing(own outdoor harvest, wich lasted me untill the next), but now I'm at about 10 euro each week or 1,5 week. 10 euro gives me a little over a gram of a good sativadominant strain. (right now I have special haze, amnesia haze, powerplant and mexican haze, not much of each left tough, and a tiny bit dieselhaze, and some nepalhash)
I'm only on this usage for a few months tough, when I started buying I could make 10 eros of nepalhash last 3-4 weeks. then they didn't have nepal anywhere, and I got some maroc wich I blew trough in 1-2 weeks I think.
nepal is my favorite hash, can conserve with it easily and like the kibd of high it gives.

and btw, it's 420!

HighlyEducatedScholar · May 10, 2012

im not sure how much my daily use is in grams, about 3 stems per night in the UD. i usually don't start vaping until at least after 3pm to keep my consumption down. when i first started vaping i would buy an 1/8th, 3.5g's, a month but my tolerance has risen since then so now its about a quarter, 7g's, a month. so at the moment i spend about $100 per month. the strains i get here i would classify as medium-high quality strains. sometimes they're great while other times they'll be ok. i wish i could get the prices i see people from the west coast get or some of you from over the pond.

sessnet · May 10, 2012

I used to spend $500+/week combusting, the best ounce of flowers I could find, every 5-6 days. I did this for a few years at least.

Now 1/4 ounce will last me at least a month, cost about $120. And usually not the best at all (I consider midgrade).

So I went from

$24,000 /year

to about

$1,400/ year

HUGE DIFFERENCE

fidget · May 10, 2012

Been vaping exclusively for 28 months now.
Went from 5g a week combusting down to my current 1.2g
i only pick up when it's quality and now I've got the luxury of being able to properly cure my bud and build up a nice little selection in my cVaults.
Currently a six month cured UK Cheese, an unknown local sativa dominant hybrid known as "Silver", Afghani Kush and a very exotic clone only indica dominant skunk pheno.
Works out between £8 and £10 per gram.
I used to spend more in a week on cigs to roll joints with than i now do in total

QuantumTimeSpace · May 10, 2012

I usually pick up a half pound for 800 or a whole lb for 1500 of the best chron in town (whatever's lookin good and available, currently it's some astounding rock hard hydro-gannically grown under LEDs Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze nuggets

) and turn it into oil in my Tamisium. I can go through anywhere from 1-3 grams of extract a week, depending on how many friends stop by hehe.

lwien · May 10, 2012

Spend 18 dollars every 6 weeks on the best stuff the dispensaries here have to offer.

Vicki · May 10, 2012

I always get medical grade herb and hash/kief. I actually figured out my daily usage, based on 2 grams a week. It was 0.1428571428. Since then my usage has dropped to 1 gram a week of herb, and about half a gram of hash/kief. I always mix some hash/kief into every trench. It makes one trench last 10 times longer than it normally would.

What was the key to you cutting back so much? I would love to, I just get so damn antsy.

Elluzion · May 10, 2012

For $60, i got an 1/8th of Blueberry, 1g Holland Shiva, 1g Strawberry Cough, 1g O-Geeze..

This will last me a couple of months with my CRZ. conserve the :leaf:

vorrange · May 10, 2012

When i combusted i would spend about 40€-60€/week if it was weed and 20-40€/week if it was hash (not nepalese, just a shady kind originally from maroc i suppose).
The market price of weed here is 10€/gram and for street hash is about 3€/gram.
So about, 4-6 grams a week, which gives you less then 1g a day.

After i begun vaporizing, the difference was gradual but as i lowered my tolerance and i changed my habits, i started to use much less. It is not a fair comparison, at least for me, since i tend to only vape by the end of the day now and before i was a wake n'bake guy.

But, i can say that last time i bought my mj was more than a month ago, and i bought like 10g. And i still have 2g left.
If you do the math it's 0,3g/day, 2g/week.

About a third of what i combusted. And i get way up there, every time.

Money wise, i would spend in between 100-160€/month. Now, 50€ will last me a month and then some.

turk · May 10, 2012

....way too much, in dollars and cents....about right in need...been smoking for over 40 years...I'm sure it's in the million mark....having dispensaries here now certainly hasn't decreased my use...

Nosferatu · May 10, 2012

After a few years of vaping I wouldn't really say I use less than if I were to smoke. I find I only really enjoy vaping if I pack alot, so it adds up fast. With the cloud Iv'e been going through about an eighth to a quarter a week probably. I buy organic greenhouse grown bud so it's cheaper like 200 an ounce 60 a quarter. I usually buy a half for 100 of two strains or a single quarter. I would say I go through about an ounce on average a month maybe a little more sometimes but soon it will all be free... :smug:

WatTyler · May 10, 2012

I'm honestly scared to tot it all up. Too much is the answer. Weed is stupidly expensive. Plus I travel 600 miles to get mine, so I have to plan ahead and bulk buy. If I've not done any major error in my weed management I still have leftovers of the last strain when I get the next batch in, so it's hard to work out exactly.

There wasn't a key to cutting back, it's really all I needed, I suppose. There was a key to wasting it however, and getting extremely fucked up:

1. Roll about .5-1G in a Blunt
2. Smoke that shit like there was no tomorrow, until you have 1/3 left.
3. Insert that 1/3 blunt in bong bowl.
4. Use some herb to prop up the roach, and for a fresh "finish" when it burns down.
5. Repeat 3-4 times a day at least

I spent all day doing this, amazingly. Now I am SUPER Lucky if I can vaporize 3-4 times a day. Lately it's only been once or twice at best, but at least once for sure!

I'm going to have to start ADDING kief to reduce my tolerance. Sounds like madness. If it works I'd like to name it the "Vicki Method"

I think I can understand where you are coming from. 1 Kiefless trench leaves you looking for more, then you vape a second trench. When in reality all that first trench needed is a little "spice" haha. I like that.

darkrom · May 10, 2012

I end up buying in bulk and splitting it with friends. That is easily the best way to save $ without changing anything. Here in MA 1 oz is decriminalized. For this reason I ALWAYS get an oz and split it with friends when they need it. Grams are $20 here! You need to buy in bulk if you want to save while managing to be a moderate+ user.

dannkk · May 10, 2012

I smoke about an oz. a month. Pay $350. Sounds high, but stuff has to be imported where I live. Interesting strains and always really really clean. Right now I'm working on Maui and Jack-Wreck.

I'll second that on the keif. Works really well. Almost as good as a tiny dab of oil.

That's ok with me! :lol:

Keep in mind, I only use a small amount of kief/hash. You don't really need much to kick that trench up a notch, and make it last longer.

sessnet said:

I'm not, I swear!

Seriously, just using a tiny bit of kief/hash makes the trench last SO much longer, and gives each hit that extra punch. There are times I have used up to 1 1/2 grams a week, but that was when I was really nauseated.

I'm moving back to Ma. in August and visiting to find a job and house in June.... We should become friends
