    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.

    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

    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.

    i get 3.5 for my 50.... jus' sayin!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,876 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    So you're telling me it's worth more than gold? How the hell can that be?

    Solely because it's illegal. We're doing our best to keep the dealers rich hey!

    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.
