Default Ripped off?

Ok so my cat has been buying from this guy for the past 4 months or so, my cat has NEVER had trouble getting anything from this guy and he has always been cool and relaxed and chill. Very stress-less and casual, my cat really like the guy and hes NEVER dry, which is good.

However, my cat decided to get a scale so he could make his sacks last longer by dividing it into daily doses.

So my cat picked up an 1/8th of KB from his guy for $60, my cat comes home, takes the buds out, plops them on the scale and expects to see at LEAST 3.4g (my cat will slide for .1g off) and to my cat's demise, it listed 2.3grams.

Now, my cat asked me, do most dealers weigh they're sacks with the bag? cause when my cat weighed it with the bag it was 3.8g.

Is my cat's dealer ripping him off? or is this normal when you buy?

If it helps at all my cat lives on the west coast, more specifically in Arizona.


used cat to avoid self-incrimination.

What is "my cat"?

Dealers do not deal based on baggie weight. It's weight of the Marijuana only. So yes, your feline is getting ripped off.

I stated at the end of my post i used "my cat" to avoid self-incrimination, any second opinions about marijuana being sold WITH the bag included in the weight?

And if the case is my cat is getting ripped off, how do you suggest my cat bring it up with his dealer? He really likes his dealer and doesnt want to find a new one, but rather bring the "accident" to the dealer's attention so he can continue to sell to my cat, but not rip him off.

Does any of this make sense?

Just tell him you scaled out the bag last time and it was short. Most dealers will start giving you fair deals if you call them out on it.

Yeah, sometimes new buyers are targeted by dealers to make some extra cash, especially if they think you're "green", new to the scene (pun intended). Like steakii said... call him on it. Next time, tell "your cat" to bring his own scale and weigh it in front of the dealer so that there cannot possibly be any discrepancies.

Ok my cat and his guy usually communicate through text messaging, so there isnt any kind of awkward face-to-face interaction as far as discussing the actual sale. what would be a non-threatening way to let him know his last bag was short? do I just say 'hey I weighed out that last bag you sold me and it was a little short" or does that seem too offensive?

Keep in mind my cat doesnt wana piss this guy off, as he gets his herbs from him. But my cat still wants a fair deal.

Sorry about the double post, this is an edit to the one above it.

EDIT: my cat is goign to be picking up from this guy in about an hour, any ideas on some one-liners that can bring the incident to his attention, but not upset him?

EDIT2: I appreciate all of your quick responses, it's really helping!

Word. Any legitimate dealer will understand where you're coming from, especially paying 60 dollars for 2 and a half grams. Just say, "Can you double check that weight for me?" And if he doesn't, weigh it yourself in front of him. If he does, he has no way out. Either way, you're going to get your money's worth. Be as polite as you can and be straight with the guy.

"Hey man i scaled the last bag of weed you gave me and it was only 2.3"

That is really all you need to tell him. Its not offensive and it tells him you know he has been shorting them.

Could I text him sand say "Hey could you double-check the weight of this bag im gonna buy off you, the last one was a bit short?"

I guess my real question here is to get a sentence i could text him that addresses and solves the problem but also doesnt piss him off.

EDIT: and keep in mind my cat will be buying again from this guy in like an hour lol
