I’ve bought Cali bags in Cali, thought they were great, then bought the same packs on here from reputable dealers when mine ran out and they were identical if a little older. But yes, for the price the top shelf UK grown is a better fresher buy on the whole…

Anything over £60 4 a q
See a lot of bud here being sold at ridiculous prices some as much as £100 for a q often being sold as cali import.question is who’s dumb enough to pay that much to get stoned it won’t get you anymore stoned then you would from top shelf uk grown bud it might look or taste a bit nicer but it costs twice sometimes three times as much then factor in that because it’s still illegal in the uk they have no way to prove 100% that they are what they say they are and you can buy custom or counterfeit empty packs on alibaba for like 40p why would any right minded stoner pay those prices. It’s time the buyers were honest to themselves and started boycotting vendors that sell supposed cali import at these ridiculous prices it’s not worth it and you can’t prove it’s legitimate Cali FULL STOP!!! You can’t prove importation because it’s illegal so can’t be legally imported to the uk which means you can’t have legitimate proof of importation.
You may not be able to prove it's cali absaloutely conclusively that doesn't mean in vitro it isn't though, some people also may want specifically Cali as I see a demand for it locally also.
Generally I'd say alot of UK and cali present differing characteristics like bud structure and often lineage. I think you can absaloutely be assured by many people that it is Cali through the vendors merit and there is further ways of providing evidence, the same goes for Uk strains and their names you could say.. mind those who choose to buy Cali may often have a sense themselves where-as those who may be more 'old school' may not.
Horses for courses I suppose..

Then u can’t charge full price that’s my point u wouldn’t pay full price for a painting that might be fake or 20 cigarettes cos the pack has English writing on it u have to ask a fair price for the product and let people know it has the potential of not being what it says on the tin
As I said to my friend the other day. I know this stuff is legit because the anonymous seller on the illegal site I use said it is
I've been smoking and drinking for a few decades, and the current pricing of bud is very, very similar to fine wine pricing. Bud is very much pitched on flavour now (as well as strength/quality), and also rarity, like if you were buying fine Burgundy. This wasn't a thing when I was a lad, and I'm sure they invented terps after I quit smoking back in 2016... You can get pissed on cheaper wine (and stoned/high on bud) and it'll cost you a fraction of what super expensive stuff that costs 2-10x more will. Is it that much more worthwhile? Depends on your outlook. If you just want to get baked, then probably not. I smoke about an oz a week, and I love flavour. No-one can realistically sustain that long term, surely? I have 2 levels of bud (daily and treats) generally to acknowledge this.
If you want to be able to taste different fine things long term you need lots of money, a low tolerance, and/or an ability to ration the special bud.

Horses for courses, some folk pay thousands fof clothes which hardly keep them warm. Whether for the experience, the ego, or endocannababinoid benefits, I'm not here to judge
As this is a free market it is governed by supply and demand.
If everyone boycotts the expensive, it will only make the cheap stuff more expensive and cause the quality to drop across the board. Why would anyone put effort into growing something special if they have to sell it at a low price.
You should be encouraging more people to buy the top shelf in order to drive the price of the generic down.

Ur argument makes no sense why would the quality drop it would have to improve if anything it would force people who are growing shit weed to grow better weed as people would just buy from people selling quality weed so they’d have to up there game to compete if everyone bought top shelf the opposite would happen the prices will continue to get even more ridiculous as buyers up the prices to make it look like there’s is better and out compete other vendors and the price isn’t low £60 for q is fair for quality weed and you’ll find plenty of vendors selling at this price point why pay more ur getting ripped off
It wasn't an argument mate just a comment on free market economics.
If you put a price cap on something the quality won't improve.

Straight in with the insults.

Good post Ryan and i completely agree with you. Take me for example before i joined LB and was buying off my usual street plug i always use to buy from him either Stardawg or Haze as they were the only strains that were being sold at 3.5 for £30 and the weight increased up from there which i felt was reasonable priced however his US imports etc were starting at prices of around £40 for 3.5 sometimes even £50 which i just couldn't justify to myself for a bit of weed.
Like you pointed out i always thought the so called cali import stuff was just re bagged bud in those fancy mylar bags you can buy and then people are falling for it thinking it's top shelf when it's not. I'm not saying all dealers do this by any stretch of the imagination but people do need to wake up to this as i do think it's an issue.
I remember the days when i could ring a dealer for a ten bag but not anymore most dealers ain't even entertaining anything less then 3.5 these days how times have changed!

This is hilarious
Your complaining that you can't buy a 10 bag of undetermined weight bit can buy specific amounts for specific prices
It was always weights 10 bags were an abomination and always worked in the dealers favour not yours

That they have and I’m not saying all Cali packs are fake but they can’t prove they are legitimate so how can they ask and expect to get full price we have no way of knowing other than there word that it’s Cali or even the strain they claim it to be you can’t trust anybody especially when they can charge so much more just by repackaging it they should sell it at these ridiculous prices they should sell it at the same price as the uk bud it’s just a fad that people seem to be falling for but there making it harder for the good vendors to sell quality honest bud and resist the temptation of repackaging for more profit
Prices are to high all over £60 for a q in my opinion there is no bud worth more than £60 a q that’s what this post is about something is only worth what people are willing to pay so if people stop buying these so called Cali strains /us/ca imports then they would have to drop the price stoned is stoned and u won’t get anymore stoned from £80 q than u would from a £60 q might taste a lil better but let’s face it we don’t smoke weed for the taste we smoke it to get stoned so why pay ridiculous prices for the same high
Then that is why you should have led with
In your opinion...
Not calling people who buy the packs dumb
Also there's a metric ton of people who smoke for the taste as well
It's same as people who prefer wine of beers of a certain type no?

100% comparable with the wine and beer comparison, especially at high levels. It's not about the product, per se, it's about the rarity and ability to source.
Was in Michigan Recently you can get Ounces of the Za Za which was top End $125 a ounce they go in tiers over there or you could buy Sun Grown 2/half Ounces for $45 very good quality > Sun grown weed should never cost too much..once they legalise it my friend you will be getting ounces for £90 of the high end it’s only a matter of time and that will put a lot of good & not so good people out of business …only a matter of time
yeah i agree with exactly what your saying. It's a shame really that people are getting ripped off especially in these times. That's why I'm so thankful to LB as you can definitely get budget weed off here without breaking the bank. To be fair I didn't even know there was a market for such as thing as trim until I discovered LB no street dealer that i ever went to ever sold it period.
Just had some cunt try and charge 65 for 3.5.
"The flavours" he said.
Had to laugh at him, it's getting ridiculous, wish they would legalise.

Pack situation I agree with
Import however, very easy to prove on here. Proof Borg got a strict system, box has to be packaged, show official country of origin + the unboxing of it.
Have done in past, and have submitted my newest one too.
Some prices are crazy though, ive got my mids at up at decent price id like to think.

But that can still be got around all u have to do is order something that’s cheap and legal take it out the box put ur stuff in the box reseal and then take a vid it’s not a lot of trouble to go to considering the mark up in price and again I’m not saying this is what you do personally but there’s people that would and probably do and a lot of the vendors have no proof of importation but still charge ludicrous prices
Maybe but honestly more fuck about than it’s worth, it’s not really that hard to get import nowadays.
Problem with packs is - even some people importing them are being scammed off with fake packs without realising. Rare you can find a good plug with certified packs, not saying they don’t exist!
Even basic stealth bypasses customs if all the paperwork is filed correctly (which is where a big % of problems arise)
Completely agree pricing wise though, my prices aren’t that extreme and that’s factoring in risk of losses during import, paying for addresses etc - and the more I sell the more I put into the business hopefully bringing the costs down in the future 👌

At the end of the day NO WEED regardless of whether its cali or not is worth more than £200 an ounce even if its imported. Too many greedy people out there looking to rip people off by charging double the price for a bit of weed cause its smells and taste bit better and has some more crystals on it. Have bought weed on her at £140 an ounce that has been miles better than all the stuff I have bought for dearer on here
