Marijuana cheaper than beer?

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by highaboveseattle, Mar 3, 2015.

  2. I've always paid 20 bucks a gram.. i dont see the big deal here?
     
  3. 4 beers... Maybe if you party with barbies...
     
  4. I'd say this is fairly spot on for people 25+ years of age, after the partying overdo it phase and stuff. Idk about 1 bowl for the night tho. But $20 grams is like the stupidest way to buy bud, it's like comparing buying drinks at a bar to getting a 6pack from a cheap liquor store. All in all, fairly even depending on usage, and how smartly it was bought.

  5. $20 a gram? I always pay $10.
     
  6. It takes me about 3 Earthquakes ($1 a pop around here) to get white boy wasted and about half a gram of  dank ($20 a g of dank here) to get me sufficiently stoned so that's like $3.50 vs $10. Don't forget about Burnette's either, $7 for a bottle and I can get the whole squad feeling right, whereas it would take like a dub ($40) of dank to get the squad high as fuck.
     
    You could say that I just compared the cheapest beer/liquor available (around here at least) to the most expensive category of bud, but shwag doesn't even get me high and mid barely does it, an entire g and I still won't be sufficiently stoned.
     
  7. recreational, medical, or black market?
     
  8. It's definitely cheaper for me.  I don't drink obscenely expensive beers, but I don't drink Budweiser.  The stuff I like usually costs about $10 a 6 pack.  And a 6 pack is just enough to get me a decent buzz.  Liquor is a bit more economical, assuming you're not buying the pointlessly expensive stuff.  But it's still more expensive, unless you're buying off the bottom shelf.  But who on Earth would want to drink Popov vodka rather than smoke some herb?
     
  9. Those don't seem bad to me living in the midwest but the places where you can buy it recreationally tend to have much cheaper street prices. Especially compared to recreational prices
     
  10. At $20/g  weed is far too expensive. And that infographic is ok, but who wants to only smoke a quarter of a gram when partying? and only 10mg of edibles?  I guarantee any season toker isn't going to have enough fun off of that.

    I have no access to recreational, so I have nothing to compare to. But personally I'd say in most cases marijuana is cheaper than alchohol in general. More importantly, green is far more ECONOMICAL. Some people are inclined to drink all alcohol they have that night (party mentality). Whereas with herb I usually want to save some for the next day. I pay $8 a gram for dank, which would last me one-two days (weekday). $8 here would buy 4 tall-cans of the cheapest shit beer which would last me an afternoon, SCREW THAT LOL
     
  12. you can get a 6 pack of tall cans for like 5 bucks. that equals out to like 8 normal sized beers. thats enough for one night of fun for me.
     
    now lets compare that to weed. i can get a gram for 10 bucks and it would last me 3-4 days IF my tolerance is low.
     
    so id give weed the slight edge in bang for your buck, depending on your tolerance. if we're talking 20 bucks a gram, id say beer gives you more bang for your buck.
     
  13. black market. I live in California, so that price is expected.
     
  14. It's different everywhere but I never pay more than 10$ a gram. I normally pay about 6$ a gram and that would get me high about 3 times. Since we're comparing it too drinking though if I were at a party I would probably smoke .5-1 gram so 3-6$. If I were to get drunk it would cost between 5-15$. It's hard to compare the two though because most people don't get drunk three times a day.
     
  15. it really differs for everyone 
     
    how much you drink vs. how how much you smoke 
     
    i smoke everyday and hardly drink, so marijuana is the more expensive one

    I spend way more on beer, no question. $55 buys me an eighth at the pot shop, which lasts a month or more. I can spend that much on beer in two weeks; or in a week if I hit my local craft brewery.
     


  17. The fuck you live that you can get beer that cheap? A tall can here is $3 for one can. A 6 pack of bottles of local craft beer is $12.50, and would last me one night. I can stretch a gram through 2 nights if I have to and I never pay more than $10/g.

    That being said, I find it much easier to not drink all my liquor than to not smoke all my weed. Reason being booze makes me sick as hell after like 8-10 drinks, so I know when to stop. I can keep smoking bud all night.
     
  18. 6 pack Lagunitas Hoptimus Maximus (8+% IBV) at $9.50.  A good hangover and slurring drunk is guaranteed.  Tastes great.
     
    1 g top shelf med $10.00
     
    Nuff said
     
  19. everyone knows local craft beer is way more expensive bruh.....
     
    im talking about a 6 pack of the pint sized cans. cheap beer like labatt blue.
     
  20. i smoke shatter. $55 of normal shit, $65 a g if its the nug run chemsour. that shit is fire. 
     
    anyways, a 6 pack of like redds apple ale is about $11 6 pack of bud light around $8
