Also like it when vendors put the date in the title of a topic e.g. for new stock. 👍

Cyprus is split in two. Northern Cyprus is controlled by Turkey and Southern Cyprus by Greece. Turkey invaded Cyprus in the early 70s and were only stopped from taking the entire island by the British who use Cyprus for its strategic position, having military bases on the island.

To anyone who knows Cyprus and its history, the idea that the Greeks and the Turks would get together and agree the sale of Cyprus to Amazon is about as far fetched an idea as I've ever heard, but it's a strange old world we live in these days so never say never I guess.

I'm no economist but this is far fetched for many reasons not just the economics.

Just my 2p.

Cheers BB

I agree due to the turkish occupation of the north it makes the whole thing near impossible, but internationally the northern part of cyprus is seen as being under illegal Temporary occupation by the turkish & the island is neither greek or turkish, its only reconsidered as the republic of Cyrus. Amazon could theoretically purchase the Republic of Cyprus and remove the illegal occupants in the north by force after the acquisition, asthey would need to form some sort of military anyway in order to hold claim over their newly claimed territory.

However overall i think this would be very unlikely & I agree that the north and the south being divided makes this situation near impossible, but a interesting topic to discuss:)

Used to make me sad when i went to Cyprus as a kid, and you could look through the UN post in Nicosia and see half the city pretty much abandoned. Southern Cyprus is a independent state but is obviously hugely influenced by Greece.

From either Protaras or further down in Agia Napa you can get a boat up the east coast as far as allowed to see the ghost town/city of Famagusta (a hugely popular beach resort in the 60s and 70s), which is basically right on the north south divide and was therefor abandoned.

Since we went on the boat (around 2002) the Turkish authorities have become much more accepting of tourism, but back then you couldn't cross from south to North and just had to look at the city through binoculars either from a boat or the UN border posts.

Ive heard there are plans to reopen Famagusta to tourism, although having been abandoned for nearly 50 years it'll probably need to be leveled and started again.

Tragic but fascinating part of history. I'm glad I saw the ghost city when I did but I agree, it was a very sad thing to see.

Cheers BB

Yeah I’ve been mate! Actually lived in Cyprus for a little while, got a few of friends who were born there due to military service! I’ve actually been through since as a family member owns a villa in the Turkish side, I hope to see the island reunited one day!

The blimp depos are about as realistic as Musks colonization of mars though lol

Pro-corporatocracy is not something I ever thought I'd see on a weed site but I agree completely that it would just be swapping corruption for corruption!

That said, fuck Amazon! lol :)

As long as we don't piss off President Alexa it will be a paradise I tell you

haha that made me laugh

Ultimately amazon would need consent from the people and other governments so it would cost a lot more than just paying off the government, at least for the 1st gov they buy.

I agree I think its very unlikely but maybe the people would be more for it if amazon say offered jobs and education facilities for already existing citizens of the island so their would be an incentive for them to allow amazon on the island

Surely nobody would vote to live in a corporate ruled dystopian hellscape... would they? oh right... that 2016 thingy.... who knows these days lmao

The war the greeks and turks had and you think they gonna give it up ( Not likely! )
Its the best strategically placed island for war , whos gonna give that up , with the island being one of the best to train Army's, even British. Dont think so .

Never ever going to happen geopolitically. Neither UK nor Turkey would ever give up the strategic advantage their bases give them. I can’t imagine the UN allowing it either. Plus what about the Cypriot citizens both north and south and their sovereignty? I don’t think you can even legally purchase an inhabited land. The only way to take it would be by force and deport all the citizens making them refuges... a la Diego Garcia.

Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots will never make peace as long Turkish and Greek are in "arms" for decades, UK , UN , Greece and Turkey, all have base and army on the island, good luck with that . And its offending whoever said Cyprus will be bought by amazon

Look up smell proof cases on amazon.
I bought a big one with locks and so forth and never smell a thing. Admittedly I also bought a bunch of smell proof bags that dealers use to post, so I keep lots of different varieties of hash and bud in separate smell proof bags inside the case.

I've had some stinkers, but the smell doesn't get out...

oooh, here's a pic I took a while ago ... back when we had lots of hash so not much bud in there then! There's serveral buds in the case now, still 15 types of hash too as I'm a hoarder :)

Fucking Hell pal, u r killing me with the pic !!!

The varieties in this pic have me salivating!

could make a killer joint with that stash

Bet that gods connect rolex was a nice one

yeah.. it was a fave! Only 2g left of it now :(

2g more than i have lol ;)

What’s the Red Leb like ? Tried everything else but that , I see u used them robbing bastards gods connect , done me for an ounce of green crack , can’t find he fuckers on this any more , you got anything of them lately ??

Hi mate. The Red Leb was the premium Red Leb from Drugs UK and very very strong and resinous. I'd estimate about 30% thc. I doubt I'll find another one like this one - only a few grams left now :(

I'm sorry you had a failed order from Gods Connect. They had an excellent reputation on here and I have to say their drysift was really good.

They went on an extended holiday about 6 weeks back as they were re evaluating everything after covid - if you can find their page, they posted on there. I'm surprised your issue was not dealt with and fixed.

That is an impressive haul there. I’m jealous.

Have a look on ebay for tightvac vacuum jars. There about £6.50 but they work mate.

Cheers for the heads up UL! I'll have a nose there :)

I think you need to buy some new jars mate. Airtight jars shouldn't give off any smell.

If your weed is getting dry in your jar get a humidifying stone to stick in there (or a smaller jar!) you can also use foil inside your containers to keep your weed fresh and to line any jars that might not be doing the job well enough.... (in your situation you should line your plastic with it, don't let your weed sit on/in plastic! also plastic baggies do nothing at all, air passes right through them).

You can get good jars online for a couple of quid off the online headshops though - just read the reviews first :)

Keep the jars away from light and heat too obviously, I have a nice little wooden box with my jars inside. Good luck mate!

Hey Z, cheers for the reply. Haha yeah I know, the two jars I've got have given me years of service and down to my laziness I just never replaced them lol. I do prefer keeping my green in the masonry jars though as it usually keeps the green fresh, main problem is smell.

I have never used those stones that keep the moisture but have heard they are good so might give them a try. Time to make a trip to Homestore and buy some new jars I'd say lol. Thanks for the reply mate and hope you're well.

Try not use big jars for small amounts of bud thats what causes it to dry out quicker

Yeah I made that mistake in my earlier days. Threw like 9gs into a litre sized jar and 3 days later my by bud basically turned to dust in my hands lol. Cheers though Rasta, appreciate the tip

Its been happening to me lately and it took a while to realize the more space in the jar means more air getting to it, I just hate dry tasteless bud lol.

Yeah all good thank you mate I'm properly feeling the boredom today though, dunno why I never do anything special on Fridays anyway but still somehow doesn't feel right. Weird times.

Anyway hope the new jars sort out your issue bud, they should do the trick. It is a smelly hobby we have to be fair to your housemates lol

I know the feeling mate, ran out of green yesterday and blasted through one of MJs carts in a few hours because of over-use lol. I bought a motorbike a few months back and have been looking forward to the good weather and a fog in the wilderness but there's currently 90km/h winds down by me and no weed. Hoping the postman makes a drop on Monday though lol.

Ah you gotta go along to get along bud and it's easier to keep the peace. The jars shall be bought in the morrow! Enjoy your weekend mate.

Thanks all for the recommendations as I learn to better store...I lost a significant quantity and never again !
Might be a dummy question but what about the freezer?
I had different experiences and for one it allowed to keep the hit, taste and smell diring around 4 years..:)
Any advice ?
Cheers

hey man! maybe you just need to invest in a branded jar such as kilner, they keep well sealed for years. also I cant remember the name of them but you can get a RAW clay stone on amazon, you wet it and put it in your jar and it freshens up the buds if they're too dry. peace

Hydrostone?

Easiest is glass jam jars, otherwise check out a vacuum tub or similar. Google 'Amazon smellyproof'

I recommend RYOT brand stuff, they use activated charcoal if im right, cant remember lol but personally no smell. I store my weed in there also my vape when im going to work or out.

Cheers for the tip bud I'll give them a look.

I've heard those stashic cases are good ;)

That's so weird, someone literally just bought me one as a birthday gift lol I have to say, I really like the look and feel to it. The compartments that seperate the supplies too are pretty cool :) Good shout PF :D

Damn! I must be psychic! :)

used marmalade jars work for me - no smell at all until the lids are removed when that funky goodness makes itself known...ahhhhhhhh.

Depends how much bud you've got there bro. I bought a "LITT" bag on amazon which is smell proof and also comes with a smell proof container. I really rate it and has the added bonus it comes with a padlock type lock where you can set a number combo to unlock it.

i store my bud in small containers then place that and all my smoking gear into smell proof bag

I just use a small Tupperware box inside a bigger Tupperware with my grinder and skins. Go on trains and have it at work too and never smell anything.

for a temporary solution I found keeping mine inside a steel thermos worked better than anything else, also made it safer to transport than glass jars when I had a bunch of flavours and needed to get across london & up to scotland on public transport for a mates stag

I use these, they work great and a Boveda is a must.

Sweet

250ml will fit 1/2 oz and the 100ml is perfect for under 1/4

maybe put the weed in a bag like those heat-seal bags used by sellers or maybe small ziplocks and put the bag in mason jars with rubber/silicone seals. also try to open the jar and bag once in a while to avoid molds from growing.

Adding humidity packs may do the job for you!

Canning jars are best

I use small Mason jars (take about 7g each) kept inside a larger airtight tupperware container. I also have a few humidipaks in the larger container, works well for presevation and stealth.

Plus a use an air purifier (with active carbon filter) in my herbiest room. Can get away with vaping next to it and the smell's gone within about 20 minutes. It's a relatively expensive investment, but it'll save you on air fresheners and incense in the long run!

1 high quality thick mylar bag normally sorts the smell for me, then I just light a candle to get rid of the smell in the room, it works really well

I have a thick ceramic jar which has an airtight lid. I tend to keep it in my bedroom alternating it between the little drawers next to my bed and my wardrobe depending whos around. I rarely smell anything, and i have noticed that the ceramic over time adds to the flavour of the bud if you can leave it to chill for a while.

Obviously you should dry it out to the point where it crumbles in your fingers (i guess that depends on the bud but i wouldnt keep lower quality bud or those that are dripping with spray anyway) or at least as close to it as is possible and if your looking for long term smoke storage (eg if you buy in bulk) then like others have said you may want to add something to it to keep everything fresh. Personally i smoke too much and have never got to the point Ive needed that xD

Going on a little tangent here but I also have a little foil bags which I use for traveling. They are just like sandwich bags but are made of foil, you can pick them up on amazon or ebay and arent too expensive. There are 2 variations - a one time use which essentially sticks closed with glue and is unusable after opening or standard sandwich bag push seals for multiple uses. The glue works better at smell prevention but then in a domestic situation transferring from bag to bag would get annoying. So if you went with this way, depending on the strength of what your carrying you may want to double or triple bag. I mention this even though you didnt ask about travelling because its a quick, easy and low cost if a little temporary solution to your problem while you find something that works better for you long term. I first used this method when I used to go and stay with my girlfriend (her parents are police) and I would put the foil bags in her jewelery box and never got caught, even when her mum used to come and use her vanity mirror lol

Kilner jar, boveda pack.

In a jar with a couple slices of apple. Golden delicious provides
A lil smell and taste to the bud also : )

Do not, recipe for mold

I was thinking that alright Smee but didn't want to be rude haha

Yeah I can be blunt lol

...but it’s a fact rather than an opinion

any airtight container stored in a cool dark place will suffice but glass I think is best

It needs to be properly dry first, not bone dry...like 15%? moisture to prevent mould, that and temperature...don't quote that percentage

Sometimes blunt is best my man! Yeah I've been using a masonry jar for the past 8 years and sleays found it to be the best way to store my bud but I judt got lazy and rarely replace anything. You should see my poor grinder haha. I will be purchasing a new box, grinder, jars and stocking up on papers so I'll probably be skint again by this time next week lol. Cheers for the reply Smee!

I’ve had my blitz n mix grinder for I don’t know how long...just clean it with alcohol or acetone brings it up like new

Do not do this on plastic grinders!

I use preserve jars from hobbycraft, work pretty well for me. You can also get specialist stash jars on amazon etc but these are pretty overpriced imo.

Yeah I was having a nose online and saw a few nice ones but they seemed a little overpriced. Think I found what I'm looking for on Amazon though for a decent price and size. Reviews seem legit and the vendor has a double deal with a bong / dab rig so I think I'll just bite the bullet and order lol. Cheers for the reply mate!

I've used clingfilm in the past but felt like it was killing the taste of the weed? Could just be in my head but that's why I stopped lol. I'll probably have to start doing it again though for the time being. Cheers for the reply and handy tip about the crystals.

I always find jam jars are good, wrapping them in clingfilm helps as well.

Amazon sell smell proof boxes for cannabis just type it in,,,,,,,

Also stick a humidipak in there to stop drying and mould.

Hi, I smoked joints with tobacco for over 20 years , it wasn`t till a couple of years ago i stopped, I`ve tried a few alternatives eg, Damiana, Real Leaf, Greengo, but tbh they all taste like shit, and leave a nasty lingering smell. I found that when the nicotine was completely out of my system that i did not crave for the joint....just the thc ha, if i want a joint i just make a small pure 1, but that`s very rarely these days as i`ve invested in a Dynavap the beauty of this device is that you can toke it like pipe or a joint.....best of both worlds, and also it is more of an uplifting cleaner high with vaping....hope this helps, best of luck with your journey.

Peace out
MH

Thanks MH! Some great thoughts, will check out Dynavap! TY

I just want to echo some of what MH said as I have a similar history. The thought of moving to pure weed joints made me think of a huge increase in cost but the reason for all those spliffs in a day was the nicotine craving. Plus was I really getting high or just feeling the nicotine fix? Personally I vaped nicotine until I reduced the % to 0 over 6 months or so. Then one day just stopped vaping as I thought what’s the point? Now I pipe or joint some weed WHEN I WANT TO and actually GET HIGH!! However you manage to quit you will smoke less but get more high! Winner :)

When I quit smoking, I booked a week off work, bought a big bag of weed and a pipe, did a big shop to make sure I didn’t need to leave the house for anything, shut myself at home in my PJs and smoked myself silly. Every time I had a craving for a cigarette I blazed another big pipe of pure weed. Got absolutely caned for days and days... and came out the other end not wanted to smoke tobacco ever again!

Get a vape;) you can even vape tobacco if you can’t quit smoking it.

buy a decent dry herb vape (I recommend one with a convection oven).

- you'll get your money back eventually from not buying tobacco
- it's a more efficient way to smoke since there's no combustion
- you can use the already vaporized bud AVB for making weed butter etc

Personally I taste the weed better when vaping and it never burns your throat so you don't spend the next day coughing like you have covid or something.
That said I still prefer a joint from time to time especially with mates :)

Get yourself a nice pipe and replace the joints with pipe hits. I used to be a smoker and quit before I started smoking weed. But I used a vape and eventually lowered the nicotine dose and just eventually fucked off the vape shit. I never wanted to pick the habit back up so have always just smoked weed clean.

Like many other comments I cut out tobacco years ago, I smoke hash with a nice little pipe. Works beautifully. Now I can still go for a run while high and I’m fine.
No way I could have done that while smoking baccy joints.
Processed tobacco is a killer, full of nasty chemical shit, cut it out and you’ll be much better off. :)

Tony how are you smoking hash in pipe? Just crumbling it in and burning it pure?

Yes mate, just pure and crumble a small bit. You need one of them small pipes with a very small bowl and the requisite gauze In the bowl. I have a nice solid brass one where you can take the main pipe arm out and scrape it clean. Perfect. I can do my work etc have nice little hits through the day.
Adding more or less hash according to what I’m doing.

train yourself to smoke them pure! roll them small, take 1 or 2 draws. if nicotine withdrawels are really bad use cbd oil or vape cbd in the meantime. you'll be off it in no time bud!

Thanks! I like the way you think haha!

You can go cold turkey or gradually reduce the amount of tobacco you consume daily. Either from a whole ciggie or tobacco mixed with your joints. The problem here is not the tobacco its the nicotine in the tobacco. If you mixed it with a joint you are still consuming nicotine so you gotta take note of it. If you go cold turkey, get ready for nicotine withdrawal symptoms like mood swings etc. You can also keep yourself motivated with stuff like this while you're smoking pure flowers and zero nicotine.

https://www.healthline.com/health/what-happens-when-you-quit-smoking

Some fun facts . The urge to smoke lasts only MINUTES . If you can distract yourself from it, you will forget you wanted to smoke.

Think of it like a short grind . Once you're over the crux its pretty much smooth sailing.
Again, take note of the withdrawal symptoms. You can do it mate! And reward yourself with some grams of greens from LB when you hit your weekly/monthly milestones!

Smoked weed for 30 years in joints with tobacco +cigarettes.

Swapped fags for a nicotine vape for 5 years but couldn't find a fix for joints. Tried every pipe and tobacco substitute I could find.

Decided late 2019 that enough was enough and ditched joints for THC vape carts to vape alongside my nicotine vape.

THC carts worked, but I didn't love them and came across Dynavap Jan 2020 and thought it had to be worth a try. That was me sorted. I kept dropping the nicotine in my e-cig until it was nicotine free and I've now ditched it altogether.

Dynavap most evenings, desktop vape back when we used to be allowed friends over, abv edibles for 100% couch lock.

Yeah, agree with a lot of people on here. Stopped smoking about 4 months ago.. started moving from joints to pipes slowly during the day and using the bong at nights. Felt great for it for a while but noticed I was smoking a LOT of plant matter. So moved to concentrates instead for a while but still coughing a lot. I've finally come to the distillate vape cartridges and I feel fantastic. Clean stone, and I'm only toking a few times a day because it's so strong. About the same cost too.. .5ml for 35 quid lasts about 3 days.. same as a half q

I’m using hemp flower as a tobacco replacement, you can buy it legally online and it’s bud but without THC (try
www.cleverbotanics.com). I mix it with hash or proper weed when wanting to roll a spliff. The only downside is the legal bud can drown out any taste from the good stuff but it work the same :)

Just shifted to Vape juice (I dilute it with my normal low nicotine vape juice, its a bit more complex than smoking joints, need to consider vape wattage and PG/VG blending).....

Do this alongside some edibles and you get
- No Cravings for fags
- Slightly delayed and weaker hit from Vape Juice, but enough for day to day
- Top up with some edibles. BY FAR THE BEST I have seen so far are the Chuckles Range. Best Tasting, and good range that hit the spot and last a while.

NOTE: Weed is cheap, Edibles are good value, vape juice is expensive, but you aren't buying cigarettes and your lungs are much much clearer.

vaping dry herb is decent. i stopped smoking that way- these days if i still fancy burning weed i’ll just roll a joint with no tobacco and take a few hits at a time. Alternatively, i’ve found the dryness and subtle odour of thai red string means it makes perfect roll ups without the need for tobacco- not too strong, i smoke them often and they just look and smell a little like tobacco to any passer by...

Thanks! I have tried vaping but admittedly I did miss that feeling.

Saw that thai red string on here recently so may give that a try! much appreciated :D

I would say RB is the best for big and small bits and his prices aren't over priced like most . Definitely NDWuk they are well trusted but onley sell in 4g deals most time . JJ and drugs Inc look very good but never tried . Tgt not bad bit over priced on there weed and nextdaydelivery I paid for wasent next day cause they said missed the post .

RB!!

Drugsinc are my regular but also just started using jj superb service and products.

JJ is a superb vendor offering free NDD atm. Great service with great product. theres other reputable vendors like drugs inc, radar breeder, MJ concentrates, TGT. there are also other great vendors these are just a few off top of my head. dont give up hope RM are just getting it tough with sickness atm.

I'm sorry to hear that mate, but I'm sure your TGT package will turn up eventually. At the moment NDD from Radarbreeder OR JJ is the way to go like others have said. RB is a pro, JJ was having problems but I thinks it's all sorted and when he's running it's like clockwork. JJ will give you a tracking number so you can follow your parcel and for a new buyer this is invaluable. Also NDD free by 1pm if you order before 12.

Also budzuk https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4777107
will give you a tracking number I had a message from him yesterday regarding this service. I haven't checked them out yet, they are a new vendor struggling to get on the items page.

Yeah currently waiting on Jj mate he the only vendor atm keeping me on this site at the moment

Which 2 vendors? I’m waiting for something and the guys page has suddenly changed to ‘access restricted’. Had nothing but good reviews so thought was a safe bet. Might still turn up I guess but no response from him

Ronald1776 and currently been waiting on something from tgt that hasn’t shown up

TGT parcels seem to be taking a while. Got mine after 8 days so that should turn up. Sorry to hear about your wait pal it can be maddening.

Did you try and contact TGT or Ronald? I ordered from TGT three Times to another EU Country and all three times it arrived. But in the current situation not getting Orders most likely has something to do with RM.

Yep messaged them and they said nothing they can do it’s down to Royal Mail. But it seems like there is a few people waiting on tgt

Sorry you’ve had this problem, that sucks! I suggest you stick to the long-term established vendors at the moment. I’m sure there are a few but right now NDD from someone such as RB is the way to go. I got some of the Amnesia Haze with NDD and it arrived the next day without issue

One of them I was told was/is a top vendor mate. I have been looking at the lemon amnesia off rb is that all good is it mate?

Hi mate, try not too worry too much. I'm also new here and my first order took around 8 days to arrive first class. The wait nearly killed me. Royal mail are really busy at the moment.

I've placed two NDD since with RB and they have come through the day after ordering. I've literally just got my order of Lemon Amnesia today, not smoked any yet, just opened and had a look and smell. Looks and smells great!

Hi mate thanks for that. Currently looking at the amnesia lemon so once you have a smoke of it could you tell me what you think of it matey! Happy smoking

Ok so I have cracked, I'm supposed to be doing work until 5 but the amnesia lemon has come out. I'm a vaper, but I can tell you it vapes up a treat in the volcano. Nice lemon smell and good head high, tastes clean and well cured. I reccomend.

Depends what you like though, had Star Dawg, from RB last week, more body stoned and sleepy for me. Lovely smell and diesel taste in the volcano.

Go with NDD. $6 with RB. Bargain

Back to work! Blazed

Just ordered a q of the super silver mate love that strain!! Thanks again

Cheers matey think I will be putting a order in with him. Thanks very much and don’t work to hard ;)

I’ve not personally had the lemon amnesia but the reviews look good and I’ve never been let down by the bud if got from RB. Looks like there is a review from someone on his page.

All I’m saying is that I’ve never not had a NDD package from RB arrive

Cheers mate I’ll put a order in with him

Drugs inc, RB, TGT were all good with my orders, only one got delayed for long from TGT but they sorted me out.

Make sure it’s NDD ($6 I think) or you’ll have the same issue as normal post is very delayed

you'll need a universal translator

awesome, and at the risk of spoiling a little, a great reunion tour.

wonderful
