I wanted to figure out how to get the best bang for my buck from the buds available to me.
I'm Australian and have a prescription for medicinal weed.
I like getting value for money but also a left over from black market purchasing avoiding getting scammed. In Australian black market, generally you want at least 28g (an ounce) for $350 AUD, at least it was last time I checked. this works out to $12.50 a gram.
The buds I'm currently getting are $13.90 a gram, this is absolutely worth it, the quality of THC content and curing are phenomenal! but after completing this exercise there are buds that are under $10 a gram which is what I'm going to ask about at my next check in.
ultimately the calculation is
price of jar / (grams in jar x % of THC as decimal)
the lower the number, the better the value (in my opinion)
I also need to let you know that I managed to get this calculation from chatgpt by asking it and telling it what I was trying to achieve. I still don't actually fully understand what multiplying the grams in jar by the THC% decimal is doing. My mathematics literacy has diminished since highschool. I only landed on the above calculation because I could see in my spreadsheet that it looked about right haha.
I'd love to know if this is useful and if you're into maths, an explanation of what is happening
I did this in my area for the first few years of legalization in my country because prices were confusing. I was even able to calculate it down to dosage for various delivery methods (eg. smoking is less effective than vaping is less effective than edibles) so I had dosages and effective dosages per dollar and then you can even calculate out uses per package from that. Prices in Canada plummeted 4 years after legalization so it stopped being as relevant. Like it's $29 cad for 1g of 80%+ distillate in a 510 vape cart and $100 for an oz of 25%+ thc flower. With prices that low for quality that high the choices are pretty easy.
