SF Dispensary Starts Selling Eighths Of Cannabis For $1
Barbary Coast dispensary and lounge has the offer
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
San Francisco's Barbary Coast Dispensary and Lounge is offering quite the discount as a way of showing compassion in these tough times. They've marked down eighths of cannabis (one eighth of an ounce) of the usually $75 Sherbinskis' Acai Berry indoor flower to just...$1.
SFGate reports that the dispensary won't ask for proof of need, but hopes an honor system will work - essentially saying that if you're experiencing financial hardships right now they're there for you.
The promotion is a joint one between Barbary Coast & Sherbinskis and the hope is that it provides relief during this crisis.

woo hoo!!! 1970 prices!!!
Back in the day I never even knew what an ounce or a gram or whatever, even was. Everything was nickel or dime bags ----simple.
$10 for a 4 finger bag on "the hill" in Boulder, Colorado. the good 'ol days.
I use to laugh. A lid would fill up a Frisbee.
How much was a lid? And is that why they called it a lid...because it would fill a Frisbee?
Used to be, in the early 70's, $30-$35. But then, you had to put up with stems and seeds except for Acapulco Gold - it was "bad assed weeeed"
cue Blind Melon Chittlin'
"Come on man, open up,,,! It's Dave..!"
Dave's not here, Man
a small frisbee, maybe.
a coffee can lid. it sometimes came in coffee cans. coffee smell threw off the drug dogs.
Ahhhh.....now I understand.
I never got stoned in high school which was about 1976 to 1980 for me. I never understood nickel bag, dime bag, or lid. I knew what a joint and a bong was.
Some say it was just an ounce. Some use to measure by the ole time coffee can lids.
We use to think it was more than that.
I remember those days. It was much easier then (or so my hubby told me).
Yeah, right - blame it on Matt.
Looks like we didn't kill off that many brain cells if we can still remember their skits.
holy fuck, that's a treacherous drive even when you're straight.
It was basically free upstairs in the VIP lounge at Tulagi back then.
fuck. I never got invited upstairs and until now I didn't even know they had a VIP lounge. saw a lot of shows at Tulagi's in the 70's, can't remember any of them, except for Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks. used to buy $90 pounds on the hill and then try out the product in the cemetery behind it on the grave with the poppy marker. back then the hill was an open air flea market for weed and any other drug you wanted. we learned real quick to look for the guys with military haircuts if we wanted any exotic products. they usually brought back the thai stick. cost them a nickel apiece in thailand and they sold it for $20 a stick. bought the last one off a zoomie once and he gave us the baggie of shake along with it because we started whining it was damaged. we got our blonde lebanese hash from the squids, or grunts back from germany, at $20 a 1/4. if you had a clear head and an eye for faces there were rock stars hanging around there everywhere. the good 'ol days.
Smoked some temple balls with Lowell George on the back basement steps of Macky auditorium back in the 70s after a Little Feat show. The good old days!
Helped pick Bonnie Raitt off the floor one night when she went over backwards in her chair while hitting on a gallon jug of wine. Just another night at Tulagi.
I could listen to her sing for hours.
I’m sittin’ here presently enjoying a onie, and the fun accounts. Great stories!
very cool. loved LG and BR. you didn't happen to be at folsom field for the dead show in '72 when a roadie came out on stage at intermission and tossed a pack full of oz's into the crowd by any chance, were you?
a legendary club that faded away too soon. ebbet's field in denver never even came close.
Me to. So glad that she (and many of my old musician friends) Finally sobered up.
Played Ebbets Field twice and attended many shows there. Ya gotta love a small venue. Seriously loved seeing big bands in a small room.
As I actually like Joe Walsh, Joe Cocker, Tommy Bolin, David Crosby, ETC... I won't be telling Caribou Ranch tales.
What happens in Colorado, stays in Colorado.
The promotion is a joint one
Nice pun Larry
Lol, nice catch! That's hilarious'''
As if I needed a good reason for a road trip.
I read that alcohol consumption in San Francisco is up 42% since the coronavirus things started.
Because liquor stores are essential businesses and the average attention span of a human being is 8 seconds.
I'm not sure about the second part of your statement, but you're correct about the first part. A number of states have deemed liquor store essential businesses due to the number of active alcoholics. Therefore, the stores are open for health reasons. Here are 2 of many examples:
nine seconds
eight seconds
You apparently misunderstood my very serious, factual point. That's OK. Keep well, SP.
I can manage 15 seconds on a good day.
Oh come on "Jasper" I provided several links which state quite clearly that the average attention span
of a human is 8 -9 seconds.
Very serious, very factual, very marketing oriented ( that's advertising language ) people with PHD's in
the psychology of "marketing"
and advertising ( generally accepted as ripping us off ) published that regularly.
You too, keep safe.
I play competitive solitaire and mahjong on the internet so mine is closer to 5 minutes after which...........
I've been reading various reports from all different areas, alcohol sales have gone up all over. I have also seen that there are more alcohol deliveries, some states and cities even changing laws to allow for it.
I wonder if the Barbary Coast dispensary delivers to Minnesota?!
Arkansas needs to start allowing Sunday sales
Hell yeah it does!
MS still has a bunch of dry counties.
food take out can be accompanied with alcohol here now if the establishments have a liquor license. [Deleted]
You can do that in Texas, too.
[Deleted]
The problem being that anything short of 90%+ alcohol wont' work.
I may not be in SF, and I most likely will survive the virus, but my liver is sure taking a pounding!
I'm glad I have to go to work every day....or I would be the 600 pound drunk
I've absorbed more alcohol through my hands in recent days than I have ingested by mouth.
It’s not like people need to be somewhere in the morning.
Some do. [Deleted]
Please! Just once let us get a full night's rest. No murders, no fires, no car crashes, no medical emergencies of any sort.
A few hundred miles north of that dispensary is the greatest climate, soil and weather for the cultivation of weed in the world.
Good to know a farmer in that area.
Good to know a farmer in that area.
No kidding!
your comment would be off topic in many other places, wouldn't it.
Get this man a joint for his grumpyness.
Grump's not here.
can't. got a fed random coming up.
weed - saving republican lives for over 100 years.
I don't know the exact date. I get a heads up 3-6 weeks beforehand. unfortunately I got it before the pandemic blew up. for all I know it could be postponed indefinitely, possibly putting some people that test my patience in danger.
Spent many years as a paramedic always expecting a random piss test but never had one other than for the initial hire.
Paramedics who were handed a cup one week and tested clear went out and smoked a joint and then were handed a cup the next week. Lots of good paramedics lost their jobs due to draconian pot tests.
Since my hair was longer than most and everybody knew I was an old hippy musician, I always expected one. Never happened.
I failed the first UA I ever took back in '89. apparently a prescription I was taking flagged me, although the clinic never asked if I was taking any medicine. I was taking a prescription to prevent the glaucoma that runs inherently in my family at the time. after being informed of my test failure in front of my crew and threatened by my employer a couple days later, I called my eye Dr., who called the clinic and discovered their lapse in protocol and then called me back. I went in to the owners office the next day to be terminated knowing this information, that the clinic still had not shared with them.
the next morning the owner and his idiot partner/witness were fishing for a confession to be free and clear to fire me. instead I threatened to sue their asses into the dirt for wrongful termination and demanded they call the clinic or else. he called the clinic, ( the look on his face after being informed over the phone was priceless) gave me half-assed apology and I never got another UA. unfortunately they held my lawsuit threat against me later on whenever I came up for raises, performance bonuses, and promotions, always with some lame ass excuse as to why not.
I repaid them by going to work for a competitor and taking their biggest client and my installers with me at nearly double my pay and better pay for my installers, since I had access to their bid pricing as a project manager. they never recovered financially and shut down that part of their business less than 3 months later. my new employer picked up the remaining contracts they held and their installers. I've had lots of UA's since and have never failed one.
I would fail a piss test right now. Love me some perfect pot over and above a government job.
I could pass one now ezpz. I'm just pissed that even the non-thc CBD's will show a positive result. it's the only thing that really works for the enduring leg/ankle pain from surgery. eating aspirin, ibuprofen, etc like tic tacs obviously has major side effects for the internal organs. my Dr. let me know that even thc free CBD's at 0.01% can still accumulate in fat tissues based on quantity and frequency of use. I have 2 gov't certifications to lose and never get back if I ever fail a UA. those mean bigger paychecks to me. I can't risk those until after I retire, if I ever decide to retire. it sure would be nice to go to sleep without my leg throbbing, not to mention being plagued by violent nightmares almost every night. thankfully it's not me being killed in them. ha ha ha
Mr. Fish, I believe if we had the chance to visit over a bowl and a pint, you and I would find more in common, and resolve some misunderstandings.
... a joint probably still gets you a 20 year stretch in bf-texas. loaded gun, no problem...
Ridiculous bullshit.

do you ever bother to even look anything up before posting such nonsense?
Under an ounce is no crime.
One for Tex
Sorry, I just can't let such inanities go like some can, especially when it is lies about my state.
So the vibe of the room is far different than the post I responded to.
Got my own, thanks.
We only buy quarter pounds or half pounds.
Never run out that way.
Alrighty then; C'mon by any time Tex!
:~)
key word in my comment = "probably"
reading comprehension/semantics really isn't your strong suit, is it.
deny that people have done/are doing hard time in texas for possession of less than 1 gram of weed.
Ladies and gentleman, lets please keep this article light. Thank you.
yeah, that's what I thought. get your stories straight.
bullshit
Don't be jealous!
An 1/8th of an oz? Does that even make a joint?
You bet! An 1/8 of decent weed will last me nearly two weeks.
5-6 days here. apparently some people have no self control.
I ran into some pretty cheap Mexican green here this winter. Went through a quad in less than a week,,,horrible stuff
Hey! I'm not good with measurements! I was told this -------------------- was 6 inches my whole life!
I'd be taking a dirt nap if the weed back then was as potent as it is now.
That's using the fish ruler.
My man, I am an enthusiastic enthusiast. You bet your ass I have, and have been for about forty five years.
I’ll pour frosty ones, c’mon over!
huh? who are you getting your weed from? tsk, tsk, tsk. people in goober states are getting ripped off. that's bad karma.
I bought 7.5 grams when I was in CO a few years ago and it lasted nearly 6 months
Because of the ridiculous taxes imposed by California on the farmer, most of the Northern California product is sold in goober states cheaper than the overpriced dispensaries. The black market sells the finer product cheaper.
Acia berry strain is a cheap indoor grow shrub.
these fucking kids have gone to school on that shit here. some of it is almost hallucinogenic.
It's strong weed
I quit smoking skunk 10 years ago. it's mediocre crap compared to what's now available locally.
As an example - fill a coffee cup half full with marijuana and that might be half an ounce. Last ya quite a while if it's good stuff and knocks ya on your butt after three puffs.
Is that a 12 oz mug or my usual 16 oz mug?
One thing about social distancing. No longer have to share.
No bogarting.... !
Hey, there is reason now. Haha
The ol' stupid 8 oz coffee cup in da house
Wish it wuz the 16 ouncer.
Shoot! That holds two swallows then I'm tromping back to the pot.
That's why there is nothing less than 12 oz mugs in my cabinet
I was going to say one time filling up the pipe.
a peace pipe maybe...
Peace and love use to be the motto.
Got one "peace" pipe that would take a LOT to fill - hmmmm - opportunities, opportunities.
My door is always open 1st.
;~)
Being plant material, quantities of pot take up a surprisingly large amount of space.
Thanks, TAcos! That does help.
Usually 75 USD for an eighth. I guess legalization has its drawbacks. I can get an illegal ounce for 80.
$20 for a legal 1/8 here. an illegal oz used to be over $200 here, a legal oz is now under $100. I switched to vaping oil. no stench involved.
I had the vape once. It was good stuff. Surprised me.
meh, it's alright.
1971 - thai stick - 3 hits - couldn't stand up and couldn't remember my name. a cheerleader took advantage of me at the drive in her dad's car.
Are you bragging or complaining?
20 buck for an 1/8 sounds like a pretty good deal
Lol. poor devangelical!
my friends told me about it. I can't remember either way, but she later denied it ever happened. meh, she was a mean drunk anyway.
I never thought I would say this but I wouldn’t mind having some of that now..😊
you might end up with the bottom hoop of that skirt over your head a lot more often...
Nah, just laugh more and go through an extra box of twinkies. :~)
I think I could handle that, but it would be Reese’s cups.
great. now I have 2 stalkers.
i've actually NOT smoked lately, as i don't wish to smoke with anyone under the current pandemic, and i do have the craving, as it can make me a tad more creative, and take me away like calgon, or whatever takes one away these daze and confuzed tripped by a breaker that couldn't stop
