Title: Honest question for those who bitch about SR pricing...
Post by: homertortoise on March 03, 2013, 02:08 am
 :P

So I've seen numerous posts on the boards about people asking why SR prices are so much higher than the street. I've also seen a lot of posts, or replies to posts, with people bitching about how SR pricing is so much higher.

Now...I don't live in California. So I can't speak to the local price of bud in CA. However, where I'm from...above average bud from a dealer you don't know well will cost you $20 per gram. Even with a connect, you're looking at highs for a minimum of $15/gram. I got a buddy who will sell some mids at something like $10 per gram, but "mids" would be a bit of an exaggeration. Now maybe I'm getting ripped off? But I've exhausted most local sources and this is basically the norm. Now keep in mind, buying locally means I don't get anywhere near the strain selection.

SR is basically offering solid medical grade bud of all strains...and for small personal quantities, the going rate appears to be about what I'd be paying on the street for "above average" street weed.

SR looks like a great deal to me, especially for solid medical grade bud that is delivered right to your front door. Granted, I'm only looking at bud prices.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I guess that some people don't understand the functional difference between local and global markets.... I hate how nobody addresses that simple point in said threads.
Often the only responses given go as follows: "If ya' dont like it here then fuck you I hope you die". OR "these are the bestest most awesomest danks with the most awesome customer service in anywhere so they have to charge a premium".  ::)
It makes our community sound ignorant I fear..
