Title: Street price of 1/8th in the UK?
Post by: MrRibena on January 26, 2012, 11:10 pm
I read about these jokers that buy 2.5-3g on the streets of Camden for £25 or so, working out at between £29-£35 per 1/8th. What is the going rate though in your area? I haven't bought from a local dealer for a long time but I'm guessing £30 is about average these days.

The deals on wheels services in my city charge 20 quid for 2 grams, quality is highly variable but sometimes surprisingly good. The worst of them sells damp 1.7s for 20 and was aggressive when we made him come round and refund us.  ???

Good lord. Almost makes me want to put a wholesale order in on SR and start distributing real weights! I haven't seen a real 1/8th on the street for years and years but that really is taking the piss.

Generally about £10/gram here (Brighton). Thai stick 1.7g / £10. I bet it's the same stuff as hashuk's.

NO way, Camden is filled with crackheads and junkies, the only thing your going to be buying on the streets of Camden for 2.5g-3g @ £25 is ground up twigs, leaves, cardboard, clingfilm, bin liner, soapbar, folded up paper anything but weed.

Nobody on the street really does proper "1/8's" any more, since 2007 or so...you need to have a decent contact/buying from a mate or buying from a grower.

"average" street price e.g going to your local run-down council estate and ask-a-chav-caked-head-to-toe in Lonsdale gear  = £20 @ 1.4g
"real" dealer price £20 @ 1.6g (could be slightly damp)
"good" dealer price £10/g (normally dry)

All the weed I sell has been cured and dried to perfection, all the fan leaves are trimmed and any visible stems are cut off or I strip the bud off the stems and I sell that at 1.7g @ £20 with free delivery 24/7, or 3.5g @ 35.

I have never ever seen a dealer (not even online) that goes into the amount of hassle I do in making sure the bag appeal is 10/10, but I like to outdo everyone else to make sure I get repeat business.

I have about 100 regular customers and 35 "on/off" customers, I've only ever had 3 disappointed customers...

Lol I was in London for vacation this summer and went to camden to score bud. No luck. I asked the dude holding a sign with a mohawk and studs (generally punk look/dead kenndys) and asked him where to score cannabis and the guy told me to piss off.

WHY??? Camden is a cool place, but fuck those guys. All the shops selling paraphanalia are run by old indian/arab guys that are motherfucking HYPOCRITES. Oh, and FUCK chavs. I wish they could trade places with the jews in the holocaust. Those fuckheads deserve to die a slow and painful death.

skunk i knock full eighths out for £20 (just outside Cambridge). its nice gear as well, a bit damp at times but always does the job well. coke i can get for £110 but it's crap, better stuff is probably £180 - 200. still nothing compared to the coke you can get on the Road though, but the bit i had last night weren't bad

I'm usually getting 1.6's of nice dry cheese/amnesia for 20 pounds, although i am friends with my local guy. TBH there is so much cheese around the UK, i'm getting a bit sick of it, its 90% of what i smoke.  After reading onestopshop's post just now though i might have a new regular supplier, prices like that for weed manicured that nice is good, real good. I'm gonna pm you on the road.

Its a shame its so expensive, and its painful watching the price of draw in america being quite low comparitively, quality wise/ variety wise anyway. I suppose when the UK finally gives in and decriminalizes/regulates/medicates ganga its always gonna be the same.

We can dream right?..... Right?

£20 an 1/8th used to be the standard price when I was buying "off the street" (not actually off the street but from regular dealers). It ranged from sprayed shit to dank nugs depending on what was available (what they could flip for the most money).
I used to know a hash bar in Whitechapel that sold 5gs of nice hash for £20 also.

Haha I know those guys, crazy motherfuckers I remember when that place use to be just a hole in the wall and there was some stoned guy behind it that had 20s of hash and green.

What a joker, some of the local asian guys sold one of my mates some standard weed and told him it was chro called "Bobadob".. lool f-ing jokers.

after I heard what went down I made him a on-the-house cocktail spliff of AK47 and some Trainwreck afterwards which left him speechless :D
