"The art of small batch"

Check out this article on High Times, some guy charging up to $2,000 an ounce for "small batch" weed.. If someone offered me an OZ for 2k, I'd probably roll on the floor laughing at them.

"No, that is not a typo. Rare, designer cannabis products have been popping up more and more in the last couple of years. If you haven’t yet come across one of these super heady black miron jars in the wild, that’s because they’re very hard to find and typically only available in, dare I say, small batches.

The first time one of my friends, who is about as heady as they come, told me he willingly paid $1,500 for an ounce of flower my jaw hit the floor. I could not fathom a world in which somebody with access to all the cheap and/or free weed he could smoke straight from multiple different farmers would choose to do that. The ounce was from a brand/person called Normal Nemo and all I know about him is his weed comes highly recommended from many different industry staples whose opinions on quality I tend to trust. It is also worth noting here that my friend bought that ounce a few years ago and I assumed the price might be less by now, but one of his distributors on the east coast actually quoted me $1,600-$1,800 and even as high as $2K for a competitor brand."

Guess it's like the people that pay full whack for the bloke slinging salt from his wrist or a boutique vineyard, etc. Basically overpriced product but you get the wank factor. Some people love their ego stroked. Good luck to them.

Yeah i'll never understand it either..
Not that High Times is a reputable rag any more.

Technically all of us here are "small batch" growers so does that mean we can charge people 2k a zip? :ohhh:

The most I've ever charged someone a zip is for $200 and that's cause I needed the money at the moment. The rest of the time i'd do it for $160. There was this one time a girl I was friends with I was selling her packs and she kept asking me out on dates and stuff and I wasn't interested in her like that. so I check my messages on FB and her baby daddy was saying my weeds garbage & I ripped her off.. She was mad I kept turning her down, there was nothing wrong with the weed. After that I said to myself I'm not slinging even so much as a nickel bag to someone any more - its not worth the headache.

*edit* let me add on to the previous story, to show how crazy the situation got... So I get the message from her baby daddy, we argue and I block him. Next morning I get two more messages, this crazy asshole created two new FB profiles just to harass me.. He threatened me and my family, threatened to go to the cops, he even dug up my fathers old house phone number and threatened to call him. Now do you guys see why I'd never help anyone out with bud any more? Idc if they offered me $500 for a single gram, I wouldn't do it.

I know how to use A.I. and generate marketing labels. You have quality green. Lets get some black mason jars and get going. When I was into wood turning I was on a 'pen turning forum' and there was an article about a million dollar pen. Most gaudy thing I'd ever seen. People with large sums will spend.
