1,000,000,000,000 weed
[This claim is invalid, so under rule (5) it resets the clock to zero and the number of bells to zero.]

1 bell. There are many bus number 1s, but my favourite is the one that transfers you from Amersham to Chesham.

Re: Counting meets Tumbleweed (so nobody can have a problem)
You missed a trick there! Rule (5) only resets the number of bells to zero, not the number of weed, so you could have legitimately claimed 1,000,000,000,001 weed.
The question is now how to interpret rule (3). If it means "you may claim a number of bells or weed exactly one more than the last claim of the same type", then I can now legitimately go ahead and claim 1,000,000,000,001 weed, since there haven't been any intervening claims for weed. However, since it doesn't explicitly say that, I'll play it safe and post under rules (1), (2) and (4):
10 bells. The Ten Bells pub is perhaps the most famous pub in the history of Jack the Ripper.

In that case I claim 2.7 trillion weed. And no bells
