I took a elbow and half to try to vend to PE yesterday. It was a buddy of mine harvest and I knew it was some good smoke, so I had no problem vending for him. The vendor was like "You got some good smoke. I would smoke it but my clients wants the dark!! You know they want the GRAPES!! I will give you 4 racks for one elbow of pure dark." I just sat there in amazement. I had some A-1 quality herb. Not triple AAA but A-1. It had great smell. Was purplish too! Just was not purple like Barney.
Being in the bay lets me experience all kind of bud. I mean I have sampled hundreds if not in the thousands of different herbs. I absolutely love purp myself but to have a club tell me this A-1 herb is not good enough to be in his store? Cause it ain't purp enough! What is this market turning into? I felt kinda disrespected. But in the same hand I understand he is running a business and wants to have what his clients want. But why did I go to the club 6 miles down the road and sold it all for 5200$ I just want this purple fad too go away soon so these purple addicts can experience different flavors like kush, and such. Maybe its me and I am just ranting/rambling while I am :joint: on the couch.

I'm glad you said purple FAD.... cause it's the truth. I like some purple, and don't get me wrong there's some dank purple strains. But the dankest isn't purple. Whatever the "dankest" may be.

Purple is novelty.

Being very close to SJ i know tht their clubs are pretty new and are mostly all purp clubs

I think there just tryin to get up n coming and purps wat everyone buys....the hole fad is really rediculous tho people don't realise that purp buds look more potent because resin shows more on purple leaves than green

i do love some purples but not becuase their purple


Do u mean 4racks as in 4000$? for an LB?


Where i'm at i'd say between 2k and 3600 for a Lb and thats overpriced so yea 4000 for the hella overpriced shit at the clubs make sense

sad i've seen my boys pay 600 for a QP and 900 for a QP and the 600 was better quality(buds were bought at different times obviously)

Well in SJ they all make me fill out the normal patient paperwork. In SF and Berkeley, most of the time, not always tho, you could just say vendor and they let you right in to see the vend dude.
 
Wow I made this picture for another thread but it applies here. Ok so I know you didn't pay attention in school because of your grammar so here is a little economics 101.

Replace "Kush" with "dark purple" and "schwag" with "a-1 herb."

As you can see, as there is less dark purple than a-1, it sells for a higher price because the supply is lower!

Don't feel disrespected, get educated, and you'll understand that it is just business. You still made out like a bandit with $3467/"elbow" if you ask me. Looks like good smoke for sure.

I'm in San Jose too. The purple fad is ridiculous. It's because people aren't buying medication, they are buying names and colors.

i'm kinda far removed from any medical scene at all, but from a distance...it looks like there's not only a fair portion of fad-ish-ness, but it changes on almost the exact timeline it'd take for a grower to adapt to it.

you have a buyer tell you 'i'll pay top dollar for ________' (whatever the current rave may be), but by the time you'd fill your room with that type of strain and bring it to harvest, they've already flittered on to something completely different.

again, not claiming any first person insight or anything, just the impression i get from listening to folks that are in that situation.
 
STONERS HAVE BECOME SO STUPID IN CALIFORNIA ITS RIDICULOUS!!!


What if I told you I had some DANK, DANK, DANK "Sour Diesel" (or so the dude told me) and not alot of people were on their game about the Sour D because of all the other strains floating around so I tried to off it and although my boys loved it, they told me that they're only interested in the Kush. They'll take the Sour D off me, but bring the Kush next time.

You know what I did?

I hooked them up with a few different Kush strains and then I went back to my boy who had the Sour D.

I waited two weeks (after hooking them up with Kush everytime) and I came back - WITH THE EXACT SAME SOUR DIESEL - and told them that it was "Wonder Kush" and they went crazy!!! They were losing their minds that I brought them some super shit and these fucking retards didn't even realize that this was the exact same bud I tried to give them weeks ago but because it was "Kush" they could sell it faster to the bigger retards who believe this crap. Plus I was offin it for $3,500 originally as a "homie-hookup" but this time I gave it to him for $4,000 for being a stupid fuck!

I can't believe how bad the "name-game" has gotten down here. We gotta get a hold of some rappers and have them shoot out a few strains. When they rap about "smokin Kush" the Kush sells. If they they're "smokin that Purps" the purple sells. Lets get some more names out so the sheep can continue purchasing! LOL

I wouldn't b callin cali smokers stupid because of following a fad because Cali is definantly not the only ones doin so Cali just happens to b where most Fads(strains) came out of

If you look at New York everyones talkin bout Diesel or Pif i'm sure pleanty ppl put those names or only buy those names just like Kush in Cali

I do HATE the purple HYPE because its complete B.S


I try and tell people bud is like people lets say Purp is a black guy and this one black guys amazing at basketball we'll name him Micheal Jordan hah

Just cus you get another black guy don't mean hes goin to b Air Jordan

Same goes with strains

Not tryin to b racist just the simplest i could put it
