I don't think people paid that, I believe that he put in a price in BTC thinking it was USD and it got converted in the listing. Has happened before.

Umm, we pay about $10 USD per 1.1g (Usually weighed over).
In a shop.
Must suck being in Holland.

Your quality is no where near ours :)
Tourists always fuck themselves up when they come here, only because they are not used to this kind of quality.

But Americans use weed for medical reasons  :o. Medical grade must be pretty dank  :o

Medical grade is bullshit. Since some states legalised for medicinal use every strain I see listed is medical grade or AAAAAAA***** grade. Any strain grown with some TLC can be medical or top grade.

That doesn't mean that any strain will be ok for someone who uses it medically. There are of course some that will assist with problems that others do not, e.g. Some are better for SAD or for depression, others for pain relief etc.

Yeah I know a lot of the weed I see on here is 'A++' quality - guess it's just a marketing technique.

Lol, yeah... 70% of the patients are probably potheads in dire need of a smoke  ;)

The only reason tourists "fuck themselves up" is because they are just that, tourists.
Probably never smoked before and do it because its legal.
Our flowers constantly test in the high 20%'s and our oils above 90%.
Yah, y'all have decent bud but nowhere near the amount of care goes into as we put into it here.
Ive been to Holland, I know the deal.

Sadly to say on SR most people do that. And the quality is meh..
It's a profit thing. Ive tried plenty of shit from the Netherlands that I thought was mediocre.
I guess all in all, there is amazing shit everywhere, and rubbish everywhere. Depends on where you look.

SR is overpriced because if people had better hookups irl they would not be here in the first place.

This is just an extra spot for many of us, not the only spot.  There is more here than just weed too.  I can get more than a few things I enjoy here on a day to day basis.  This is like the Wal-Mart of drugs, I can get some serious deals on some things, but others are priced high and sell due to the convenience.

Here in Canada we usually pay between $5-$10 a G as well.
In the 70s Holland had the market cornered - US/Canada was flooded with cheap shitty mexican brick, with occasional rumours about Thai Stick, then BC bud became big in the 80's and 90's, followed by the great Californian green rush that is still going strong.

The secret... it's all good.  The internet, magazines like High Times and books specific to MJ horticulture have improved weed around the world. If you're not a lazy-ass grower the only thing separating your weed from the weed anywhere else in the world is the available genetics, as technique is pretty much ironed out.  Though to say weed today is stronger than it ever was is a falsehood, more growers know how to do it right today is all, there was always bombass sinse available somewhere.

Lazy growers think they know everything and don't bother to read the literature, anyone who does know wtf they're talking about is constantly reading, studying and experimenting.

Even if those are dollars, and not bitcoins in intent, that price is way too high.  Seller must be smoking too much of his stock, or buying at a dispensary at full price and reselling for profit.  :(

I can get indoor organic for $200 an Oz, and hydro for about $275 if I want to max out what I'm paying.  I typically pay $150-$175 for indoor.  If I'm cheap and just want a weedy taste, I'll by outdoor for $120-$150.
