Cannabis Caviar: $1,400-an-ounce marijuana promises a bang for your buck
So you think you're a connoisseur, what with your cans of Beluga, Kobe steaks and stash of 1998 Dom Perignon? Think again if you haven't gotten your hands on cannabis caviar, a new kind of top-shelf marijuana popping up at Colorado dispensaries that sells for the astronomical price of $1,400 an ounce -- nearly four times the average price of other high-grade strains.
"This isn't stuff you are sitting around puffing all day," says Jake, general manager of the ReLeaf Center, a Denver dispensary that's selling caviar made in house for $60 a gram. "This is the definition of a one-hitter quitter."
It ain't your grandpa's pot. Caviar is made by soaking marijuana buds in a potent stain of hash oil -- thick, sticky and concentrated liquid cannabis made from dissolving hashish or marijuana in solvents like acetone, alcohol or butane. Once the oil's soaked into the marijuana buds, the whole shebang is allowed to dry for several weeks or months.
The result is a potent marijuana smorgasbord: high-grade marijuana, with between 5 and 20 percent THC, infused with 30 to 80 percent THC hash oil. It also burns for long periods of time, notes Jake, although he adds a word of caution about taste: "It's rough."
People looking for a smooth-tasting product should look elsewhere, he says. "It's for people who want to smoke less, need longer effects, or have medical needs that absolutely require them to take large amounts of THC in. It's going to have a stronger medical benefit."
That's putting it mildly. To try some for yourself, keep an eye out for "caviar" on the top shelf of your local dispensary. It's also been called "California Raisins," though as Jake notes, "That name is falling out of favor in the ongoing weed war between Colorado and California."
And with stuff like caviar, we just might have one up on our marijuana-loving neighbors to the west.

Rip. Off. You can get pure hash oil (no bud) on the black market for around $30 a gram. I can get an ounce of trim for $40 that will turn into more than a gram of BHO. And they all taste good. I would maybe pay $60 a gram for it if it was also infused with opium and they sprinkled some coke on top and I also got a free blowjob.

It's the convenience factor.
Obviously seasoned growers will know better and create their own. It's a great idea and I can see myself devoting a good chunk of my outdoor to testing it.

Too expensive, Just buy a gram of hash and dank for $40 and smoke it all at once and you'd be better off. nasty hash oil nugs for ridiculous prices FTL.

I see this more of a hash product then anything, 60 dollars a gram is no where near unheard of either. Ever go and take a look at the menus in amsterdamn cafes? Plenty of varieties they sell for 50+$ a gram.
I wouldn't pay for it since you're not really getting a gram of hash (most of the weight has to be the bud), but I sure as hell wouldn't pass up a free sample.

fuck it, free is free. We picked up two pounds of ground chicken last night because we had a couple of coupons for them that made them free. I don't think I ever bought ground chicken once in my life lol, but fuck it, free is free!
