  1. Weed does not cost $1 per gram here. it costs $2 US ($5 XCD) per gram. but most sellers in the north will sell it to tourists at $10 US per gram. Best way to get good weed and reasonable prices is to go to any block and ask for a 5 bag if you dont smoke much or a 3 for 10, they’re gonna think you know how it works already and not price jack you. If youre in the south just ask for a supplier, if youre white they’ll most likely take you to a good one and you can get an ounce for about 200-300 XCD ( 80-120 US).
