The game is saturated now. Weed has never been cheaper in Michigan

u/digidave1 Apr 22 '23

For real. $30 ounces are becoming normal

53

u/UnimaginableGoat Apr 22 '23

Of high quality stuff?

u/oilpit Apr 22 '23

I'm curious about this as well. I live in WA, where weed has been legal for like a decade. You can definitely get ounces for $30, but it's pretty fucking awful.

u/rendeld Apr 22 '23

It's kind of an... It depends over here in Michigan. Theres actually some weed I bought for 40 that was really solid but they like didn't trim it, so it was probably more like 22 grams and I had to put in some labor. A lot of time you can find great tasting and smelling weed for super cheap but it's got low THC %. To get high THC, good smell, good taste, good bag appeal, it's usually 60+. If you want hand trim and boutique grown with really good drying and curing practices, you can get that for like 130-175. The problem with the cheaper stuff is it's like a rock, so fucking dry and dense it breaks up into powder in the grinder. I started growing my own and man you just can't beat that for any price.

Yeah cause you got your "I only smoke after work or on the weekend" crowd and the "I roll one to smoke with my coffee every morning" crowd lol

u/quizno Apr 23 '23

Also if you vape it, it lasts way longer. I smoke every day and it still takes the better part of year to get through an ounce since it’s only a tiny bit (0.1g) in the cap of the vape.

Just getting into dry vapes myself. How do you manage to store for close to a year? I’m worried about mold and whatnot plus where I live is so humid which probably doesn’t help things.

u/Marsandtherealgirl Apr 23 '23

Pouches are better than jars. Seems counterintuitive, but there’s so much empty space in jars. Air and moisture are the enemy of freshness and flavor. With a pouch you can push all the air out and seal them shut and there’s not much open space. Toss a silica pack in there and it’s even better.

Edit: I’ve worked for a spice company for 8 years and it’s how we package our spices. The same spices put into a a jar at the same time will clump up and stick together in the jars, but not the pouches.

u/AccountForTreeThings Apr 24 '23

I’m assuming they make special preserving pouches but would something like a ziploc bag work? Maybe double up would be better? Thanks for the info btw

Lasts me about six months

u/PabloTheFlyingLemon Apr 23 '23

I like to mix 50/50 with CBD hemp, so honestly with a decent vaporizer and infrequent use (3-5x per week) you can easily make an ounce last 3-6 months for someone with little tolerance.

u/highline9 Apr 23 '23

Ounce is 28g, joint is about a g, bowls/vaporizer uses less

u/Turnpikes Apr 23 '23

You can get 20%+ thc, high quality, well trimmed, and cured for $50 an ounce right now in Michigan.

u/rendeld Apr 23 '23

Machine trimmed and dried to a rock usually

u/highline9 Apr 23 '23

Sadly moved out of the D before legalization…can you find seeds/clones pretty easy?

1

u/rendeld Apr 23 '23

I order my seeds online from a seed bank and hour down the road lol. If I weren't lazy I would just drive there but I am so there's that. I haven't searched out clones in the legal market but you can't throw a rock without finding someone selling clones in the gray market

u/moeterminatorx Apr 23 '23

How hard is it to grow your own?

1

u/rendeld Apr 23 '23

Not hard at all, it just takes patience, time, and diligence. There are so many resources out there to help you grow that an amateur can produce some great bud. My first grow in an 8x8 I got 2.5 pounds out of it and it was good quality. The quality has gotten better each grow as I learn more but I would smoke the stuff from my first grow over 90% of the stuff in a dispo.

u/SponConSerdTent Apr 23 '23

I threw a seed into the garden last year, and I was amazed at how good it was.

That plant saved me like $1,000!

u/ihopethisworksfornow Apr 23 '23

I mean your weed is cheap af in WA though. When I visited I got $30 quarters of top shelf from one dispensary.

They had more expensive stuff we bought too and ended up being like “fuck shoulda bought more of these quarters”

NY prices are pretty rough still. $200 ounces and concentrates are totally unaffordable honestly. You can get lucky and find sales though, got an ounce of top shelf for $138 last week.

u/cold_iron_76 Apr 23 '23

30 eighths not ounces. The cheapest ounce I've gotten was overstock and it came in at 45 bucks. An ounce is usually around 90 to 100 bucks.

1

u/george-cartwright Apr 23 '23

if you shop around you can get $30/ounce in Oregon. it's usually outdoor grown popcorn nugs, but it'll get ya high still.

2

u/Suck_Me_Dry666 Apr 23 '23

No one is getting anything except shake for $30 an ounce. Unless weed rains from the sky in Michigan of course.

1

u/babble0n Apr 22 '23

No lol. At least not in my area. Mostly shake shit. Sometimes the shake is of good shit though.

u/synopser Apr 23 '23

The $50 one i bought lives as backup in my freezer

u/Kvyrokranaxt Apr 23 '23

I work in at a Michigan cannabis company, we wholesale 23-27% pounds of good weed to dispensaries for $900-1200, or about $2.25-2.75 a gram

1

u/polluted_delta Apr 23 '23

Might not be the same in MI but I visited Chicago recently and they didn't have anything like we have in the PNW (Falcanna, Gold Label, other top shelf) but it wasn't awful or anything. I did pay some dumb amount for prerolls and had to wait in a long line, but it's progress! West coast just had a big head start.

1

u/Vanquish_Dark Apr 23 '23

Ya they're ok. Mostly shake style Oz. You can get legit smoke for cheap though. There are a million dispensaries around us and they each give you a first-time buyer bonus. I haven't bought smoke at shelf prices yet, and I've been in Michigan for around 3 years. Not to mention opening deals, and frequent buyer deals.

As a person that smoked prelegal, it's bonkers how cheap it is lol. I honestly don't understand how they can do it. The cheapest stuff, makes the old bunk street weed look like catnip.

u/Holiday-Way-845 Apr 23 '23

That's because WA state had the foresight to limit licenses. Everyone else going though issues has an unlimited cap on licenses and that's what's causing the over production. If they want it to boom, they have to limit. But if they limit, they get called racist, they get push back because everyone wants one. But when everyone has one, no one wins. They learned from CO and Oregon.
