Title: Wanting to buy 25lbs. Road Trip to Colorado?
Post by: nuggets5 on May 18, 2013, 10:21 pm
This is a serious question. No I am not a troll. I have spent well over 125k here on the road thus far.


I have enough cash to go and buy 25lbs at 1 time.I am tired of trying to get bitcoins, pay my drops for each package delivered, worry about the mail, worry about quality etc.


I want to drive to Colorado in 2 months and buy 25lbs. I do not know anyone in CO, so how would I go about doing this. I am goign to buy 25lbs and sit on them for a month,

What should I expect to pay per lb of AAA+ top self at such a big bulk buy?
Any advice? PM me if you want.

Thanks


Stop negging me, this is a serious question. I will post my stats for anyone if you like to know I am serious. And NO, I am not asking a vendor to go off the road, I am trying to get a grower or something

Best of luck to you. Although Im not sure how eager growers who are able to grow legally would risk it to sell illegally again. I'm sure you will give top dollar ect. but they wont know if you are a cop ect. Idk, I just see it being a lot more difficult than you make it out to be, but I am sure it is possible.

Be careful idk how to offer any advice about getting it. But have you ever driven with that much weight before?
Driving with that much weight across state lines is dangerous, not even just because of the charges but thats $$ right there, and youll lose that if something unplanned were to happen.

Honestly, I don't think too many people worry a whole lot about who they're selling to.  I've been at shows and had people handing my business cards saying to come pick up a bow or two before I head home lol.  I'm sure getting 25 makes it a lil more difficult, but definitely far from impossible.

How long are you willing to stick around town?  Shouldn't be too difficult to socially network yourself into contact w/ some better distributors, especially if you're of the right mindset.  Go to some shows, hit up some dispensaries, and talk to EVERYONE.  Just be forthright about what you're doing - you're from out of town and came to find herb.  People in CO (especially in Boulder/Ned) are used to this type of thing, and worst case scenario they're gonna look you up and down then say they don't know.

Here's a couple suggestions for places to hit up:

- Concentrate (harhar) on Boulder/Ned, but don't forget about Denver.  FoCo is probably worth driving up to and putting some feelers out, but is a bit of a trek for a small town.  Plenty of powder substances up there if that's your thing though - Snort Collins :)

- Go to any jamband/bluegrass/electronic shows you can find, and smoke some herb w/ the "locals".  Keep in mind a true "local" in CO is rare though - it's one of the only places I've ever been where a super common question when introducing yourself is "where are you from?". 

- Hit up the First Friday art gallery openings in the Santa Fe area

- Head to local headshops and clothing stores.  Grassroots flagship store would be a really good place to start.  If you're of the same mindset as those kids, you should have no issues finding a connect.

Basically, if you don't suck at talking to people and have utmost heady vibes to coallesce w/ the light beings of the front range ::rolleyes:: you shouldn't have any issues figuring it out.

The most weight I have ever driven considerable distance's is 6 pounds. I would of course make sure the vacuum seals are tight, put them in stick sacks, and put them in the trunk. I can only stay a night or two max in CO.

25 isn't easy I know this...

Any more advice yall? I have been looking on BudTrader Colorado, but everyone makes you have a license and be compliant and only offer like 1 to 3 units at premium price. I was looking to spend 2400 per lb at 25 pounds. I think that is totally fair. I can't go higher than that really. I have to sell pounds in my area for 3500 all day not any more.

BudTrader is an easy way to get robbed or arrested.  Google BudTrader robbed or BudTrader police.  Same for BudBay.

Is Colorado your only option?  No west coast states?

2400 I didn't think was too low for that much, maybe 2450, but that's all I can do

That's hella expensive for indoor top shelf in NorCal!  I don't have experience with Colorado.

It would probably be A LOT safer to go get it in Colorado and then ship it to yourself using the same techniques used on SR. No point risking being caught with 25 pounds and no way to deny it is all yours.

This. Broker a bulk deal and arrange for it to be sent over a period of time which would be suitable to your needs. Definitely don't send that much at once.

Well that would would be great, but how do I broker the deal....Then I have to worry about sending the dude money and worry about him running off...


Michigan huh, I didn't realize they were a green state

The same shit my friend sells for $1,800 in the triangle he sells for $4,000 in Lansing Michigan and the south east states.  It's green but expensive and they cracked down on the mecical laws there not long ago.

$1,000 a lb for strain outdoor is common in the triangle when you're buying direct from the grower.
