What drug is this?: 1.2 grams for $20
To make a long story short, someone texted me when he meant to text someone else.
It said "we could get some if you want; 1.2 grams for $20 but it's worth it".
It sounds too high to be pot... I can guess that pot is sometimes sold in small packages such as a gram, but I cannot imagine it being weighed down to the 10th of a gram.
I'm in the midwest US.
Any guesses as to what drug it is?
Thanks.

Probably marijuana the ounce is broken up into "eigths" (about 3.5 grams) which are $50.
A "dub sack" ($20) is usually about 2 grams, there price is slightly higher for 1.2 grams, so maybe its more potent.

Yikes. In my area, an ounce ranges from $150 for "dirt weed" to $400 for "killer stuff".
I know there's a markup for smaller quantities, but 1.2g for $20 ?
Wow!
... so, jol... you're pretty sure it's pot and not coke or something else?

Not really really sure but, Cocaine if purchased in 0.5 to 1.5 gram bags go for $20 to 100, there is no way 1.2g of cocaine is $20 in my opinion, I mean it's possible but I would be skeptical about the quality of it.

Yea, about .2 grams of cocaine goes for about 50 bucks from what I remember. Or maybe it was 20 bucks but still it wouldn't be what you are describing.
Pot is usually 25 for 1/8 of a an ounce or 30 for a little better.
I'm quite confused by it though. I'm with her on this one and cocaine for that price would have to be very crappy. I have no idea what other drugs run.

Ok... so then it sounds like pot (which makes me feel a bit better over my worry over what other thing it might be)
... the ultra high surcharge for the small amount surprises me, though...

Could be some potent marijuana, like cush or piff. Or whatever dumb names they have for it.

I think it is a marketing thing with the crazy names. In CA it is pretty much legal so to have a "product" stand out you need a good name. If you don't happen to listen to hip hop they talk about Kush all the time. So if a pot shop in CA has Kush more people are going to go there because So and So said Kush in a song so then the people want what their favorite rapper has. I mean nobody walks into a liquor store and says give me a bottle vodka they say give me a bottle of Grey Goose.

1.2 grams is about 1/3 of an eighth... I know they sell an eighth of some good quality weed for $60 as standard on the street in places wheres its not typically grown. Seems right to me.
Powdered drugs go for over $100 an 8=ball (3.5 grams) so that would be a very good deal.. which would make the statement "but its worth it" not make any sense.
Even crack cocaine goes for more than that.
Too heavy to be MDMA or OxyContin or anything like that... especially for that price.
Definitely too cheap to be heroine.
I think you're safe suspecting its just weed here...

Sounds like weed. They said "it's worth it", that means to me it's overpriced. If it was powder, it would have been higher priced for 1.2 grams. Sounds like somebody's making a lot of money off some pot . That's close to $7500 a pound. The buzz better last all week for that price.

Not really, heroin is pretty cheap. Depending on a potency and what kind it is, a hit can be a gram (which is a lot but it reduces when you cook it) is around $10.
It also depends on where you live.

I have never done heroin but a gram is a LOT more than a hit, from what I know. I thought a hit is more like 50 milligrams or less.
And while you might get a gram for $10, it DEFINITELY wouldn't be "worth it" (as the text said). Black tar is (was) typically $50 a gram...
But yeah, it has become a LOT cheaper over the past 10-15 years... used to be like 3-4 times as much. I suppose it could have gone down a lot more still... been a while since I was in the know :cool:
Either way, I think its safe to say its not heroin.
