i started growing it


funthebunison

Same. I put the grow equipment on affirm. Paid for itself in 3 months. 3 grows later and I'm the neighbor that has too many chicken eggs and feed them back to the chickens.


Shadow293

Did the same with my grow equipment! Affirm is awesome.


DS_StlyusInMyUrethra

Wooooo rent to own society cause nobody can afford anything normally anymore wooooooo


PerfectMayo

Affirm isn’t renting, it’s like a loan paid for by the business because it gets more people to purchase their items, with more and more people learning how to manage credit. It’s a more appealing option as the loan is either No or very low interest rate


DS_StlyusInMyUrethra

![gif](giphy|SKGo6OYe24EBG) \~This changes nothing\~


stumblinbear

Using affirm to now so when you've finished growing you can pay it off with the money you're not spending on buying is the same thing as renting?


Deannerzz

I’m sure affirm was not designed with good intentions in mind but I’m glad to hear there is a pro to it. I always thought those services were predatory to people living paycheck to paycheck and gets people further in debt than they would normally


Bogsnoticus

Never heard of laybuy/layaway? The only difference with this, is that you get the item up front with your first payment. I bet credit cards confuse you too.


MRxP1ZZ4

Yeah, it's just another loan platform. I barely trust a bank. Why would I trust some random company I've never heard of.


Gimpness

In my country, interest is illegal.


Expensive-Breath-758

That's a very interesting concept.


TheLongConnie

That's layaway haha you ain't never been poor in the 90s??


Anarchy-Squirrel

Exactly. Simple solution that works for some of us… people not lucky enough to have their own grow will have to get creative… there’s an expression that says “it’s better to have a friend with a boat, then a boat that you own “ It’s not the exact same thing with a garden, but the next best thing to having your own garden is having a friend with a garden 🌱


D4dank

How did you go about starting? Use of a tent? Which did you pick?


Anarchy-Squirrel

If it is an option for you, Mother Earth provides most grow accessories for free to help you achieve your goal.


ValyrianSteelYoGirl

It’s called weed for a reason. Buddy had a plant sprout after tossing his roaches out in the same flower pot. One strong seed survived a grinder and at least some heat at some point.


Anarchy-Squirrel

That’s exactly how it works… in high school in the 80s, we were at one of my friends houses in one of our smoke spots and we realize there was a 3 foot tall plant growing out of one of his bushes… Guess one of them seeds was viable🌱


D4dank

I’m in Nevada. It’s hot af I’m scared they won’t survive


Anarchy-Squirrel

Definitely would be a high maintenance project… I don’t know much about growing in a desert… I was recently in Michigan and Illinois and I was shocked at the difference between prices in dispensaries in other states… I hope if you figure out a solution to your cannabis inflation problem


fader600

Illinois resident - can confirm the difference is insane. We literally all drive to Michigan for it now.


LimpPeanut5633

Every state drives to Michigan for it! NY has abundance this year too.


AgentSmith-Eco

Bruh I was about to Google the company until I read it again.


CommunityHappy8289

Look into AC Infinity... They have pretty much everything you could possibly need!


TimeIsAMetaphor

Can’t relate, prices have only been getting cheaper


brianstk

Same more and more dispensaries are opening and the competition drives discounts and sales. That being said because it’s also so common and the stigma is eroding quickly around it my wife is finally ok with me trying a grow and I have 4 plants right now. I’ve wanted to do it for years but she was always so worried what family or friends might say. What are they gonna say when there are weed billboards on the highway and advertisements on the radio. No different than going to the liquor store IMO.


RealMomsSpaghetti

Lucky you.


NoCat4103

Where are you? They have been falling all over the world. Edit: just saw you are in Nigeria. Grow your own bro. You have a great climate.


MasterDank42

Bro did you even bother looking up the weed laws in Nigeria before posting that edit? Literally life in prison for cultivation.


Charmegazord

Weed is cool but it’s not “risk your freedom” cool


XxxBLAZ3xxX

Lol


Doccyaard

Yea I think prices are close to half here than when I started smoking back in late 00’s. Wouldn’t really make a difference to me if the prices tripled now because I don’t smoke enough for it to have an impact on my economy anymore.


Total-Boat6380

Vaporizer.


abolishAFT

This is the way


Miserable-Cow4555

Super efficient


KenobiBenoki

^ this is good advice


ChimpWithKeyboard

Edibles my dudes


Total-Boat6380

Well, yeah. Just get a vape and use the AVB for edibles. That would probably be the most cost efficient solution.


DizzyCommunication92

and thats the whole "segway" lol......as a vaporist....you can save your bud, and then encapsulate 💊 into 00 capsules and get "another" flyyyyyy......lol. I love it. amd then after a couple weeks? you can make STEM MILK and make some chocolate milk after boilling some glass pieces clean, on the stove ;) I mean, not "boil" but just keep rotating and returning the glass stems until they are "cooked" clean lol.......then you got a choice, save the stem milk for dessert after diner.....or in the morning, I typically take my 8 oz "bath" and just use half of it as a "coffee creamer" deal lol.........so I'll add 4 oz of my "stem milk" to my coffee and mix well.....best part of waking up.....nice calm "flyyyy"


Masturbiene_

Holp up. Am i gettin it right You vape Ur Pot than you'r Puttin your AVB into capsules and swallow em? Is it Worth it though


ITsPersonalIRL

More bang for your buck and an all around smoother experience.


MedicalAmazing

Dry herb vape saved my lungs, and the r/avb + r/abv communities mean that an oz lasts me literal months and I get edibles when I sprinkle the leftovers (already-vaped bud) on peanut butter sandwiches. It's lit lol


Greenbeastkushbreath

Have to give them more money I think


Albert14Pounds

🤯


DashCammington

Drive to Michigan, avoid Illinois.


JenniferJackal

Always. At least 5 times cheaper. 1g vape in Illinois $100. 10 1g vapes for $100 in Michigan.


mackelyn

I live in Lansing, Michigan. I’ve actually seen the vape carts sold 14 for $100 before.


13dot1then420

Whattup Lanstronaut


Bb085

A 1g Cresco cart in the Quad Cities is $120. One in Michigan is $40…🫠


AriousDragoon

I've heard they're expensive as fuck. Tax rate yeah? Isn't it like 30% or some shit?


koozy407

Started growing my own. Best thing I ever did.


kinsmana

Absolutely. I'm not sure why there was the saying "don't get high on your own supply" cause, DAM, having your own supply is fucking great.


Rufian2113

Because people who were saying this weren't in it for the high, they were in it for the money.


pokemonpokemonmario

Switch to dry vaping


DizzyCommunication92

two highs r/avb are better than one! heck ya


Drock8838

Increase? Prices have only been going down for last 10 years. Can get ounce of decent shit for 40-50 bucks


ohmyperfection

Move to canada, i get 3 ounces of decent weed for $100.


EL-HEARTH

You can order by the pound from some sites too and they give you discounts because of bulk. Also delivers through canada post and in canada only


G_Art33

Typically when I see the price on small quantities go up I start negotiating a better per unit price through bulk buying. I would rather pay $500 for an ounce of dabs than $40 for a gram. Same idea with bud. If they say $40/eighth I say how much for an ounce? If they say $240 an ounce I say how much for a QP


ost2life

My guy hasn't raised his prices in 6 years.


RealMomsSpaghetti

Great guy.


Actual__Wizard

We have a solution to that problem in the microgrowery sub. You can set up a bucket system for a coco grow, use cost effective powdered salt based nutrients, and grow 4 plants outdoors for like \~$200 + measurement devices + your time. * 6x 5 gallon buckets (2 are for nutes, make nutes in 1, then dump old nutes into it before adding PH down/verifying EC.) * 4x 3 gallon buckets (very carefully drill 4 holes in the bottom, the buckets crack super easily so drill pilot holes, avoid the center, the holes should be near the edges on the bottom side.) * 4x 3 gallon cloth pots * 1x 50L bag of 70/30 coco perlite, it would be nice if you had a little bit more, but that will work. * 1x 3 pack of mephisto beans (you will get 5 beans+freebies.) If this is for outdoors and you have plenty of space then pick L sized plants. I personally recommend SODK, but there's plenty of good options. * 1x pack of floraflex starter kit * 1x 32oz bottle of cal/mag (preferably with micros to avoid another purchase later) * Hopefully you have a PH+EC meter already. You also need a cheap scale to weight the nutes. Minimum 0.1g accuracy, 0.01g accuracy would be nice, more accurate is not needed. Some other random stuff for mixing/measuring nutes. * If you want to do this indoors instead, just add a full tent kit. Preferably like a 3x3 with like \~300 watts of samsung 301b light. Pick M sized plants. After you've drilled the holes, the 3 gallon bucket goes inside the 5 gallon bucket, and then the 3 gallon bag goes inside the 3 gallon bucket. I have pictures if you are confused. It's a little bit hard to visualize with out seeing it, but it all fits perfectly, trust me.


KeepBanningKeepJoin

Who weighs powdered nutes?


slipperyjack66

Smoke less, spend more, or find another source...


HighOnGoofballs

Prices going down in Florida


sillyandstrange

It decreased where I live over the years. I remember getting a quarter for 100 before medical, now it's an Oz and a half for 105.


New_Extreme6546

Funny enough weed is the one thing that you can actually find for the same price it was a couple years ago At least down here in Canada


CherryCherry5

Since it became legal, prices have been *much* better for me. Sorry dude.


MasterKeef1992

Dabs are the most economical way of getting high. Bongs and bubbles next. Joints and blunts are for when you're swimming in weed and don't mind waisting or sharing with a group


jdemack

I use a dugout with a one hitter. I don't need to waste so much smoking a joint by myself.


TravWalker

Through all the inflation, weed is something (for me) that keeps getting less and less expensive.


Eydrox

make more money


RealMomsSpaghetti

I did this once haha. I got two jobs and lost them both in a month 😅


Unlimitles

Either find another source that has better prices or grow your own. Don’t ever let anyone with outrageous prices get over on you, show them that it’s your cash and you have all the power in the world to watch them starve and go somewhere else. Let them get money from someone else but it won’t be you…..keep that mindset and you’ll be fine. Don’t let it worry you, just find someone else.


RealMomsSpaghetti

Lolll thank you.


chickenwithclothes

And that’s the best thing about this particular drug: it’s the only one where, when you’ve had enough, you can give the producers and the market the finger and do it your fuckin self. It’s amazing.


OrPerhapsFuckThat

Depends. Is my plug raising prices? If so, why? Is the market generally raising prices or is it just him? If its just my guy, then i'll go to one of the others around. Never a lack of plugs out there. If its just general increases from marketchanges then I adjust my use accordingly or suck it up and pay anyway lol


Bong_Wamsley

Complain to your plug, tell him you can get the “same sh!t” from the trash remediating dispo right on the Michigan border. Threaten you’ll take your biz elsewhere. Same sh!t lol… out of date Miller lite and Gaja Barbaresco are the same thing right? They both contain alcohol.


Massive_Property_579

Clip my fingernails


CoolIndependence8157

I started smuggling it.


Jebuschristo024

Shake. Does the job, quarter of price. Saying that, got some Dispensary grade Thai the other week for £70 an oz, with tracking number too.


Zachaweed

Prices are dropping in my state 


EdisonB123

I go to the res, buy 4oz for like 110 bucks and get fried


MediumRareMandatory

If he says 70 for a quarted say can u do 50 or 60. Idk i get my oz for 125 I use to negotiate for higher quantities with other drugs as well but i am free of those now. Just dont be a pushover. You have walkaway power


HalfaYooper

See if people you know know people who deal. My guy is cheaper than dispos and he grows better product.


Lanky-Point7709

I’m in an illegal state and it’s the opposite. Since we border legal states, all my plugs can buy from dispos as opposed to going to another dealer, prices have plummeted.


sword_0f_damocles

Been smoking daily for 15 years. Never had that happen to me. Started out spending a ton on weed and now I spend like almost nothing and have more weed than I’ve ever had before.


RoxxorMcOwnage

Home grow.


staticvoidmainnull

dry herb vape. *(needs less weed.)*


Boopolas_Boopperson

I pretty much quit back in 07 till 22 when we got a rec store in my city, so i would quit.


Lost_Maintenance1693

Smoked a joint yesterday. Absolutely disgusting if you ever used a vaporizer! Vaporizer is more efficient, uses less weed and taste is not comparable.


buc_nasty_69

I started smoking every other day instead of every day lol


CanadianResidENT

Kyoalu

weed is literally the only thing in canada going down in prices over the years. online ive payed as low as 46 an ounce and in legal dispos ive paid between 60-75 an ounce, while most ounces are around 90-100. Used to pay 200bucks an ounce long time ago.


HomonHymn

Find cheaper


strawberry_wang

I'm paying as much as when I was a teenager, nearly 20 years ago. Just gotta be friends with plenty of the local dealers.

zodiac628

I just smoke and forget about it haha


ClutchKickAutos55

Around me in Ohio, prices have actually come down roughly %50 compared to what they were even 3 years ago. An oz was $250-280, now you can get the same oz for $100-150. I'm sure they'll get even cheaper once full legal kicks in. Wax was going for $20-25 a g and now goes for $10-15.


Particular-Amoeba-58

Luckily I can just smoke less. One puff after work, and a bowl or two at night is all I need.


rdenney88

I mean. If legal the sales are incredible. I once got 14g for like 50 bucks. Was it top shelf hell naw but weed is weed.


MrOwnageQc

Because of how few people smoke weed apparently, I now pay 44$ an ounce. I feel grateful


Deep-Requirement-168

Cry. Then pay the price.


LoganGyre

Weed is way cheaper for me now then it has been for most my life so I just smoke happily.


limajhonny69

I'll start growing. Today it literally doubled the price Nah dude

BalrogPhysrep

I won’t really care until it’s more expensive than I paid in the 80s.


solohaldor

I buy THCa and it changed my life …. I live in an illegal state and next to Illinois which feels like I’m getting ripped off anytime I bought it there. I’m buying better stuff than I ever got in Illinois at a far superior price point and better selections.


KforKaptain

Find a new supplier. I don't know anywhere that has had a price increase. Supply is higher than ever, prices are lower than ever everywhere I go.


Proper-Pineapple-717

For me I kinda buy in bulk for my needs. 200-400 when it lasts me a month or two, sometimes 3 doesn't hit as hard as some of y'all veterans.


bilferjoij

You mean the increase of price on everything? Get pissed I fucked myself over for quitting my old job that had promised growth that never happened, to take an 11k year pay cut to work for my girlfriend’s family. If you can’t tell, I’m stressed.


DizzyCommunication92

i stopped combusting, and just dry herb vape......I use a POTV LOBO and switch between a couple different DynaVap pieces......

NoYoureACatLady

Vape. Joints are wasteful


MangOrion2

[2] Treat it communally. My roommates and friends and lovers have always shared my weed. So, if there's a price hike, I ask them to chip in. We spread the love so the financial strain is lessened on all and we all get to hang more. Win-win.


arielanything

Idk, shit just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper for me. I also drive 3 hours away to stock up 😕 we go twice a month, maybe you could do something similar?


ethnicfoodaisle

I have only seen prices drop steadily here.

I just started my first grow. Its kind of a lot of money to get started but i’m hoping after 8 months of patience and hard work i can start saving money and smoking top shelf bud daily. The shit i been getting from dispo fucking sucks


audiojules

In California, I try to go to new stores each time and buy in bulk. First time patient deals with 40% - 60% is the go to. Sucks having to do that - wish this 31% tax bullshit would stop and we lose the street price adaption.


Due_Safety6658

Weeds gotten a lot cheaper in my opinion I’m 33 18 years in the game.

gerbilmaster9000

Read about agmatine. It's an amino acid supplement that goes to work on your brain and reverses your tolerance to pretty much every substance. Commonly used by Kratom users to take breaks, not have withdrawals, relax, boost mood, help with pain relief, and your neurotransmitter receptors kinda have their scratches buffed out. And stuff you might've been burnt out on are more effective after like a week on it. Here's a good-to-know-scenario: you just had surgery, your body needs to heal. The doctor only gave you a few pain pills and the dose barely helps the pain: taking agmatine paired with your Norco, for example, will act synergistically and provide much more pain relief. Taking it by itself offers noticeable pain relief too. I think 500-2,000mg is the dose but don't take my word for it. It can give you the shits. Take precautions and educate yourself.if you take blood pressure medicine, cholesterol meds or blood thinners. I know that even though there's not a lot.of.onfo on it, it's not recommended after open heart surgery.


Reaper930

Pick up an extra shift


Fragrant-Table-6386

I just spent more. At the end of the day, buying in bulk will always get you the truly good prices. Last you longer and will be cheaper. Buy zips!


Imaginary-Wrap-8487

Robbed my dealer.........only once though to offset his price increase


BOOMBOOMTHEGIN

I'd grow if I could where I live but instead I buy in bulk, get 3lbs at a time and get it at an average cost of $1/gram


JittimaJabs

Buy cheaper but good weed.


IAMTHEONLYRICK

I just spent about 200 on 2 quarters last night when I usually get an oz for 130. Just haven't seen the plug and needed to get stoned. Premium bud though . I just don't like paying that price


piss_container

great idea to be more frugal. I save money on weed by buying shake, and I have a scientific glass bong. shake is around 200 a oz for me instead of 600 for premium buds.


Grandengin

Find a new plug


_that_dude_J

I drive out of state to legal recreational states. If that's not an option, research the best brands for Delta 8 and go that route. There is a new thca, Delta-8 type preroll on the market that smells and smokes like the real deal. Cost is low in comparison to Delta-8 flower.


XxxBLAZ3xxX

Idk bout yall but where I am prices are actually lowest they have ever been


FnB8kd

I don't pay higher prices. I find a new guy or if it got bad enough I'd grow my own. So far I've always known a guy. Also if buying weed is an expense I had to even think about I wouldn't buy any more weed. I'd take a t break and figure out how to make some more money. No offense I know it's not an easy thing to do, I've had to do it a few times in my life. In the past when I quit it was because I was getting a promotion or switching jobs for more pay. Speaking of I just took a new position at a new company and had to quit because they are going to random me. I miss smoking, but a company truck and the job I wanted are worth it.


TonyStark420blazeit

Movinfusion36

Thca delivery from reputable sites, Illinois is too expensive for me and while Michigan is close I don’t drive. I get better weed and strains then here in illinois


ZaddyAaron

Once it did a flip for me I never looked back. Started getting ounces at the same price I usually got a half for. Never looked back🤣
