    When my bf and I first started buying from this guy, he was cool andgave us a good price for decent schwag. However, lately it seems his prices keep getting higher and higher for us for the same stuff. His measuring also seems sketchy. He also seems to give my bf better deals... maybe he's sexist?
    He's a great guy, really nice, but when we confront him on it he denies he's ripping us off, assuring us "its packed really tight".
    He's my only reliable source really.
    So what should i do?

    How would I know if your getting ripped of without a picture?

    The only thing I can tell you is, yes sometimes the bud is really compact (packed really tight)

    I wouldn't say he is sexist, just thinks he can get away with ripping women off more because he assumes they know less about drugs. Imo, look around for a new connect and just ditch him when you find another one. Plus, I would only think schwag is worth smoking if its an amazing deal; I'm so glad I switched from regs to good shit, In 2 hits I'm where I want to be.

    I'd say just find another dealer. Whenever I can't find good weed or good prices I check out the convenience stores and hot corners in my town and there's usually someone who can get something.

    if you feel you are getting your money worth then you aren't getting ripped off.

    If you do not feel you are getting your money worth, you are either getting ripped off or have unrealistic expectations.

    Why are you buying schwag? Is the first question. Find a different dealer.

    A digi scale is 10 bucks on ebay. Schwag should be $50/ounce or less in most places.

    I would just ask him to throw it on a scale for you. If he's being honest, it should be a non-issue to scale it.

    Also, if he knows you've only got one hook-up, he's likely to charge you a premium. Nest time you feel you're being taken, start to walk and see if he comes around.

    Hes talking 50 an Oz for schwag which is about fair since its dirty pot. I'm hoping there was a miscommunication issue and you arent paying $200 an Oz for dirty pot.

    Not to sure about what you are calling 'dirty' pot.

    It a 28 gram bag of buds, about 1" to 4" long. Good pot in that it gets me high on about half a dube.
    but I never stop at half ... hehehe

    Classic

    i agree with whoever said scaling it out for you would be a non-issue if he's not being a sketchball douchebag of a dealer

    if he's hesitant about it, drop him, he's a sketchball douchebag of a dealer

    also, he's dealing schwag, so he's a sketchball douchebag of a dealer by default

    Granted I know its kinda hard to tell the difference in the last two just be assured that the taste, smell, and high of the last one is superior to the second one.

    good pics - Thanks

    I could settle for lesser quality for a quarter of the price.

    I know even my best homegrown is nothing compared to what I buy.
