Cost of flowers on the black market across the world

I am interested to know how the price of herb / flowers differ across the world (and the UK) where the black market is the only option. Ill start

Country: UK
Price: High as £10 per .5 grams in London, if you are lucky, up to 1.3 grams for £10 outside London. Oz lowest £170 if you have a friendly dealer, all the way up to £240 if you dont.

Modnote: Black market discussions don't jive with the forum rules. The following site may be of some interest: http://www.priceofweed.com/

Lol, ya know - I found the price per gram to have remained at $20 for 'good quality', sometimes up to $25 if the dealer thinks he has the best shit in town

Coincidentally, "$20 a g" has been the standard price for the past 10 years. It's fascinating to see the price hasn't been effected by the economic downturn of 2008

Here in Belgium I can get Haze (not specified wich) for 8€ usual. If you buy more, 50g for 7€ for the Haze. Sometimes there is White Widow-ish strains, but mostly Haze.

Got another connection who grows Exodus Cheese for a couple of friends of us, this is my main shit. 50g for 6€.

In the winter prices go up a little, 6.5-7€.
In thr summer it usually is around 6€ or less even (for at least 50g).

And this is top quality. Most of the cannabis sold in the shops in the Netherlands close to the Belgian border, comes from around here. OR I know/knew alot of guys who get their shit in Rotterdam.

So we tend to have shop material for way cheaper around here

Where is $20/gm the standard price?
I live in the SF Bay area and prices vary in the dispensaries from $8/g for low-end sungrown to $20/gm for top-shelf indoor. But average prices are $14-$18/gm. 1/8 oz (3.5gm) goes for $25-$60 depending on quality. Ounces (28gm) are around $150-$400, depending on quality.

6€ ($6.44) for 50gms (1.78 ounces) seems incredibly cheap to me. Can this be correct?

Pretty sure dispensaries do not qualify as blackmarket lol.

My blackmarket price is currently, based on current exchange rates, a whopping $516.06 for an oz. of pretty top shelf buds. Pretty damn high but I have no choice. Thankfully I don't combust so my buds go much further

(This post is in Australian Dollars
$20 AUD = $15 USD
$280 AUD = $217 USD)
EDIT: My prices don't change much at all related to currency swings though so a few years back when $1 AUD was buying $1.10 USD my prices were still the same, but wouldv'e converted to a higher $USD Price...)

Prices for me are fairly stable:
$20/g for 0.5g - 2g
$50 for an 1/8 (though its usually 3g not 3.5g)
These prices generally hold firm regardless of quality (unless there's some bomb ass bud around, that will generally go for approx 50% more)
anything from 1/4 up will start varying a bit based upon quality...
$80 - $120 for a 1/4 (Usually around $90)
$150 - $210 for a 1/2 (Usually $160-170)
$280 - $400 for an ounce.
I know I could get my hands on the $280/oz stuff for a bit cheaper if I bought in bulk ($550/2oz, $1k/qp) but it's not worth the savings to me to have that much bud around...

I pretty much always get myself an ounce - any more starts to be too big of a legal worry for me, any less Annoys me that I'm paying extra for no real reason other than "convenience" (I find it more convenient not having to buy weed every day, but I have some frieends who buy 0.5-1g Every. Damn. Day.
(I always tell them to just buy an oz and have some self control, but they will smash through an oz in a week if it's there, so it actually works out cheaper for them to just pay 2x the price but go through 1/4 the amount of bud...)

I generally get the $280oz - it can be a bit of a russian roulette, as they never come with strain names (just occasionally the promise that its "really good gear"), but the price is right at the equivalent of $10/g

The more expensive stuff is always nice bud, and often comes with strain names.

I just picked up a 1/2 1/2 oz of OG Kush and Skunk for $300


Errl is still exrtremely hard to come by around these parts, and I've generally found that the pricing of it fairly reflects the cost of the source bud with a lil markup for the labor of making the stuff...
I've heard of oil going from anywhere between $150/g (based on yields from concentrates I've made I'd say thats around the fair price for bud cost + labour) to $500/g ()

I was paying $480 an oz in the BM for top shelf before I got my med cert. I know folks that were paying way less than that.

Australian here. Only know prices in my city.

Typically our prices are $25 for "a stick" (1.7g), $50 for "a fifty" (3.4g) and 90-100 for a qtr. Prices for an oz or a half vary depending on your guy - usually about $300 for a O. Never had anything low quality but you can usually tell the difference between "bush" (outdoor) and anything grown indoors. Nothin' wrong with a bit of bush weed though.

Never heard any talk of strains or anything here, if you do it's 100% bullshit and not verifiable.

In southern California 1 ounce is about $225.00 for top shelf.
1 year ago it was $350 per ounce

1970 $10 to $15 per ouncè

I remember in Australia back in the 90's an oz. could easily cost $400 if you were unlucky or supply was scarce. Its good to see something has actually gotten cheaper. If only home prices would do the same

I remember up in Humpty Doo in 1999 gettin a tube, 7 g or so, crazy
And in the Alice, getting a fifty out of no where

Black market here IS cheap. I always think this if I hear prices from the USA.

If you buy up to 5g, it's always around 8€/g. The more you buy, the cheaper it gets.

I used to sell also for my friends. I always bought 50g for around 300€. Wich IMO was still too much. 10years ago you could pick up 25g for less then 100€ (4€/g).

Here it's all friendly, small town/city. Dealers tend to be stoner friends who just need some extra €. + the prices here always settle from 7€-10€/g.

In the coffeeshops the finest shit is usally around 12-13€/g. And like I said, most of the shop material comes from upper Belgium. So we have shop material for 4€/g less usually.

. Oops. Last BM transaction I had was when I was selling Panama Red for $10/lids (baggy with about an ounce) back in the early 70's.

Vancouver. $10/g was a pretty standard price. However, the dispensary market has grown very quickly and has set $10-12 as the price for top-shelf so I understand that the bm market price has dropped to $5-8.

$20/g on the East Coast as far as street price. With good friends one could pay $300/oz. or lower

Im experiencing the 20/g on the east coast and have buddies that will do 125 for a half o..but it seems that if its 125 or 160 its the still the same garbage quality..I mean dont get me wrong..its not Reggie but to me quality has took a major hit in the last 4 or 5 years and I think because a lot of the Mexican growers are switching from commercial Schwag to attempt to do high quality and make more money..the cartels arent stupid, they know what the Americans want and it isn't reggie..but in true mexican fashion they have turned high grade pot into crap..

UK in the south

£10 per gram / £230 per oz for "high grade" ( most likely some cheese or haze based hybrid but generally of good / very good quality )

Have friends who smoke morrocan hash normally around the £150 per oz if i recall correctly.

Unfortunately im probably one of the luckier ones with regards to consistency of quality and supply etc.

Interesting that quality down there took a hit. Quality has remained the same around my parts for the past 10 years, it's gotten better if anything.

Actually, I have read numerous articles over the past few years that the cartels are moving away from cannabis all together. The Legalization across America has cut into their profit margins to the point where it's more profitable to get into harder drugs.. That's partially why we're seeing a spike in Heroin use across the country in the past few years

£10 for .8 of a gram of wet uncured weed.

To be honest, its impossible to buy quality cured bud here in Blighty, it's currently easier and cheaper for me to have Shatter sent from the US.
