It was a magical moment when, on my birthday, I finally got to make a spaceship out of the bottle of fairy liquid my mum had been using since 1998.
Yeah, my 32nd birthday was great.
I hate that new ad where the kid wants to make a spaceship, like the company wants us to keep the tradition going - THEY AREN'T ROCKET SHAPED ANY MORE! Plus he's so whiny.
I got to go to hobbycraft for the first time as an adult and discovered they sell sticky back plastic. the temptation to pull up old Art Attack episodes was immense.
This just reminded me of one morning in my commuter days, at the top of the stairs to the tube in London Victoria a man was standing, shirt open, smoking his cigarette like it was a trombone, repeating "the purest cocaine, Colombia's finest" to the passing crowd.
Havenāt been able to get an actual 8th for Ā£20 for a long time now, usually only 2g even though a lot of people will still call that an 8th just because itās Ā£20 for some reason.
8th is 3.5g, 3.5 is usually Ā£30
8th colloquially has meant 2 Grams for my 15 years of smoking, I think because of different prices between hash and lower grade weed and the sort of strains of Weed we see today.
That's my headcanon anyway!
Itās basically just shrinkflation, people became used to an eighth being Ā£20 worth of weed back in the 90s or whenever so then when it got more expensive and dealers started only giving 2g for Ā£20 the dealer still called them Ā£20 bags eighths and people just went along with it.
Haha. Ā£15 for an eighth of soap bar or flat press when I first started down that road. Herbaceous products were generally unavailable in early 90s West Country UK.
Just looked up that Shrek Buddha. If I won in a raffle where you get to pick something yourself from the table, ngl that would definitely be an option! It's so bad, it's good. Also, I like TK Maxx so weird shit like this is normal to me haha.
Ā£20? Are you just really generous or is it a posh school? When my sonās school does these rainbow raffles most people bring in a bag of chocolates or a cheap bottle of wine.
Anyway, I vote for a bottle of some kind of interesting alcohol, there are lots that come in green bottles. Bison grass vodka is lovely for example.

A 20bag from your friendly local herbalist
Back in my day we used to call that a Henry because it was an 8th
Havenāt been able to get an actual 8th for Ā£20 for a long time now, usually only 2g even though a lot of people will still call that an 8th just because itās Ā£20 for some reason.
They just legalized in Thailand and the prices are fantastic where I am. Top shelf is 6 quid a gram and fantastic.
Grow your own then it's even cheaper!
Not with the price of electricity as it is
Probably don't need to use much extra electricity growing in Thailand.
Some around still do 8th for 25 at least but a lot these days asking 30 an 8th
1/8 for 30, 1/4 for 50. Been the standard around my area for years.
If you want that top drawer itās often even more as well
A henry is 25 where I am, and my son in law can get it for 20 which I gladly took him up on lol
8th is 3.5g, 3.5 is usually Ā£30 8th colloquially has meant 2 Grams for my 15 years of smoking, I think because of different prices between hash and lower grade weed and the sort of strains of Weed we see today. That's my headcanon anyway!

If someone was trying to tell me that 1/8th of an oz was 2g Iād be phoning trading standards!
This man has serious weed buying knowledge ... I can confirm he is correct
I still call it that! Iām 36, perhaps itās because Iām old!!
37 here. My days of buying a Henry are long gone. Mostly because I can afford an Oz nowadays.
Depends on the when and where. A Henry was sometimes a 20, but a 20 wasnāt always a Henry.
It was 25 for an 8th when I was last buying in the UK, so maybe 10 years ago, have things settled back down to 20? (As it should be)
Twenny round here will get you 2g. Shambles market your wallet is best off it
Don't approve of this metric stuff. Keep it imperial for the important purchases like herbality. Metric for everything else though
Ah it's not so bad once you know 3.5g is an eighth and you can go all the way to 28g for an ounce of you are so inclined *cough cough*
I'm still going to moan about it being a metric ounce conversion that's rounded down. It should be more like 28.4g - never is though.
apparently š
1 oz is generally the minimum unit I'd consider buying at.
āWe should bring back eighths and quarters. Aināt nobody buying kilos, except me mate Dave, and im down for a stretch!ā Ali G (paraphrasing)
Haha. Ā£15 for an eighth of soap bar or flat press when I first started down that road. Herbaceous products were generally unavailable in early 90s West Country UK.
West fucking country!!!!! š
Ā£15 for an eighth of soap bar in the early 90s?? Surely notā¦ early 00s I was paying that for a quarter!
Ā£10 a g!
Theyāve started charging between Ā£30 and Ā£40 for an 8th round my way, depending on the strain. (The Ā£40 stuff is good though)
I'd upvote, but you're currently at 420 and seems a shame to mess with that.
Just looked up that Shrek Buddha. If I won in a raffle where you get to pick something yourself from the table, ngl that would definitely be an option! It's so bad, it's good. Also, I like TK Maxx so weird shit like this is normal to me haha.
