Weed

pappyodaniel

I was just driving home from work (about a 20 minute drive from home) and I recognised a guy thumbing on the side of the road so I pulled in and offered him a lift.
He was a younger brother of a guy I know. The thing was I knew him but he didn't know me but I didn't let on. We'd a good chat on the way and when I got near to his house he said 'that's me, drop me off here'. Grand I said, and in return for the lift he offered me some weed. He took out a tiny bag and asked had I an empty cigarette box so he could put some into.
I told him it was grand and I didn't smoke so there was no need. Anyway he showed me the bag of weed and said its grand it's a 50e bag so he'd loads to spare in any case.
Now...
I'd like to ask how much weed is 50e worth. As in whats the weight.

Tbh I just found it ridiculous that anyone would pay 50quid for a tiny bag of what is essentially a bag of weeds.

What an I missing?

Ps
I didn't take anything.

Thats where the money is

God I hate them please take my weed people :mad:

You should get 3.5 grams for €50
But theres greedy bastards selling 2 grams for €50 depends who you get it off some people give you your moneys worth others won't

Thread will be rife with gardai in no time!

On a side note it's very expensive.

Well, you are supposed to light the "weeds" on fire, and inhale the smoke. Then food tastes better, music sounds better, movies are more interesting and you really appreciate the classic old episodes of The Simpsons, like the one where the Germans take over the Nuclear Power Plant, or the Frank Grimes episode.

€50 in Ireland doesn't get you a lot, comparable to places like the US it's laughable.

Hang on, wait. Hang on. Are they not the same episode? what? They are! Aren't they?

Sure €50 would keep you going for 3 or 4 nights of fairly heavy duty intoxication, or 7-10 nights of tasty mellow bedtime doobies. Probably the same price or cheaper than alcohol depending on individual tolerances, definitely cheaper as far as your liver is concerned.

Edit: comments on price directed at OP, weed is indeed very expensive here

You do realise that weed is just a nickname, for a certain plant.
It's not like any old weed will and you can grab a few from the end of the garden.

These days, 2.5 to 3 grams, though it varies depending on the person and area.

It's essentially a flower, not a weed though. Sure look, the price people pay for roses, and they can't get ya stoned.

Pollen AKA Red Leb, from the Lebanon many many years ago was clean, very nice light euphoria hash, but now they call it pollen for some strange reason, but also this pollen/red Leb is mixed with everything you can think of, so why a person would smoke that muck is beyond me. Nasty stuff indeed. The other stuff 'hash again' called pig-sh!t, smells exactly as such, with an aroma of real pig-sh!t, how enjoyable to smoke, who knows what the hell is in that stuff.

Not recommended that stuff now. What is 'not' in that pollen hash/red Leb is the real question.

Oh, one more thing... If you smoke the hash only, you might notice the odd time that you get sleep paralysis i.e as in going to bed and sleeping but to wake up during the night and cannot move :eek: yes, the indica of hash can put this into effect.

If you are still smoking weed past the age of 20 you should have a good hard look at you're life.

Smoking it before that age (Well before 17) is actually one of the only times it can be detrimental to health. So well done with that.

Many people are paying up to €7.15 for a pint of what is essentially a glass of fermented barley which costs a few cent to make. People are willing to pay a lot for recreational drugs, nothing new about it.

Im paying a tenner a gramme for cheese (type of weed for the uninitiated amongst you)

I even offered some to the bus driver after he dropped me home the other night but oddly enough he didnt take any either!!

Yeah. My great aunt will be coming over at christmas and usually has a glass of sherry, she is 93 at still carrying on like an 18 year old on spring break in some american movie. Grow up woman, its embarrassing to think you might still enjoy a relaxing mind altering substance past the age of 20.

Tenner a gramme is more like what our european cousins pay...ie it's actually good value.

Indeed. I too still smoke at almost twice that age and can always use the appropriate your/you're in a sentence.

Like any other commodity the price can vary a lot depending on local supply and demand. However it is not an exaggeration to say that good "weed" is worth half it's weight in gold. In the Netherlands a rough ballpark price for decent stuff would be e10 per gramme. The current price of gold is about e20-30 per gramme I think?

Imagine if it were legalised and anyone could get a licence to have "gold" grow in their cupboard/field...

Technically, stoned is when you smoke hash, high is when you smoke weed. I can do it all three ways

Multiple scientific studies have shown that grammar nazis retain their capacity for pedantry even whilst under the influence of various narcotics.

Dunno about that definition...i've heard people saying both whilst smoking both.

certainly very few irish people talk of getting high...they prefer to say getting stoned.
Americans on the other hand get ghigh ratheer than stoned and so on.

srsly78

Well most Irish people seem to think that people still smoke "hash".

Maybe it's just me then, but I would definitely differentiate the two states of conciousness caused by the effects of hash and grass. Mind you, that could just be cos the hash in Ireland has always been sh*te, even back when it was allegedly good.
