I just stay away from Cali branded shit !
So for me is rather off putting than advertising lol.

Yep. Great big red flag

Hear hear.

Yep me too.

Whoever the first clown in the uk was to pay 100 quid for an 8th just cos it came in a tuna tin needs a slap

I've never purchased any of these strains, but that they are an option seems only a good thing. There will be people that take advantage of that, just like there already is with any other claim of a weeds origin, or even strain, but it also allows the real deal to be sold.

I think we should be left to make that decision ourselves, not have them removed, which will be the result of a ban on claiming its origin, as that is what commands its price. There are so many options here, that no one needs to pay those prices for that weed, real or otherwise. My 2c.

Essentially, you can 'claim' anything. In the cryptoverse there is really no way to prove anything. If people choose to buy 'Cali' weed online, they take the rough with the smooth as far as I'm concerned. It's the buyers responsibility to follow up and ask questions of the vendor. It's up to the vendor to address any buyers' objections. This may be done with or without proof. It's then up to the buyer to decide if the vendor stands up to scrutiny or not. Banning the term 'Cali' essentially opens up a can of worms. Buyer beware and sellers back up your claims. It's simple as that. I won't risk 'Cali' weed because I cannot verify it. Seems like a pretty simple and logical buying methodology. Belief is down to you. Proof is the vendor's business.

Definitely, nobody is forced to buy anything and it's up to the buyer to determine what represents value for money to them

I think "cali" often means its a cali strain. But those who claim to be importing....umm....ive lost friends on LB for calling BS on that one may times hahaha

I agree. Though I know juggle boys have barcodes you can scan to check its theirs

Oh god, don't get someone started on that barcode stuff, apparently it's super easy to fake! lol
Don't see why some people are so intent on vexing about this topic; use your common sense, you're either willing to pay premium or not, chat to the seller and see if you're comfortable laying the wedge, and worst case dispute it if you think it's fake / you've been misled.
Banning terminology, ffs, where does it end? There's always going to be people trying to mug you off, be sensible and you probably won't get burned.
Peace and love biggas
PS don't be that guy and shit post on established vendors when you haven't even purchased the product!

In a nutshell right there! 👍

Agreed man well said

Ban the term "import" and "Cali" etc. unless it can be proven that it is indeed imported from California.

If you buy a bottle of Champagne in Tescos what PROOF do you demand to see that it came from France?…that label could be a fake so they can charge more?
Ever had an imported beer?…maybe you haven’t- maybe it was made in my garage….

Alcohol from tesco is alot more regulated than bud off littlebiggy though 🤷🏼‍♂️

The amount of artificial ingredients and sugar in a lot of alcoholic drinks is unreal. Plus however regulated alcohol is, it’s still a carcinogen whatever dress it comes in.

I understand the point you're making, but the French wine laws and export are incredibly stringent, and there are harsh penalties for offenders. The laws regarding labelling of Champagne are so strict that if you have wine made within the region and that wine is put in a barrel, transported out of the region and back again, then it can't legally be labelled as Champagne any more. We need something that stringent for Cali imports and then there'd be full confidence in the supply chain. Maybe when the French get into legal weed production in the future?

Excellent documentary about investigation of fakes in the wine industry on Amazon Video called 'Sour Grapes'. Worth a watch for anyone interested in wine, or fraud investigations. It was on Netflix for 'free', but now it has a rental cost. I'd never suggest people obtained it through their favourite free download methods. Interestingly, some of the people caught out by the fraud appear to have sold on the fakes, instead of admitting they were conned. That would never happen with weed though...would it...?

That's a good point .The shops are full of fake foreign beers.
They claim to be Italian or whatever but when you look at the label it says brewed in the UK.
Apparently, they even change the recipe to suit the local pallet.

lol

Got visions of some Karen in Tescos asking for proof their beer is imported now 🙈 really wouldn’t surprise me to be fair 😂 I kinda think a lot of the import is genuine.. doesn’t make it good quality tho which amuse confusion people expecting a superior product often geting sold mids as top shelf etc but it is buyers choice wanna spend £100 + on a tuna tin go ahead if I was rich probably would as a one off not guna lie 😆

I noticed on a case of Heineken recently it says ‘Imported Continental Lager’ and in the small print ‘Brewed in Holland & Edinburgh’…🤨….well which the bloody hell is it because it can’t be both and if it’s the latter it sure as hell ain’t a continental import!

Ye I’ve noticed this sort of thing before life’s a bloody con it’s the horse meat scandal all over again 😆 I’m thinking brewed in Edinburgh using Hollands recipe 😅 definitley can not be both 🤨

Tbf I don't think you can compare a regulated market with an unregulated market. Purchasing from an established company, I would imagine, it's more likely to be authentic because there's accountability. You could also ask the producer to provide proof. But of course it's not foolproof, nothing is, and there will always be knock offs.

And I'm sure some "Cali" and other "import" strains on here are genuine. But I'm also sure there are lots of false listings which, frankly, are scams as they falsely justify charging ridiculous prices that take advantage of people.

That was really my point. It would be hard enough in a regulated market to get proof- we just take a leap of faith. In an unregulated i.e illegal market, we take a GIANT leap of faith so demanding proof is frankly ridiculous. Just try it….

Yes this is the only way to cut out the bullshit

Yeah anyone can share a pic of weed and says it's cali or Dutch purely to charge more

100%

Is the weed good does it stone you then why do you care where it comes from,should we be banning all Moroccans because they might have been from Algeria.
Think some folks forget its damn illegal on this island and could be getting non descript bags of home grown weed back on the streets if not for the vendors on biggy searching out fine products for us,personally i dont care if it comes from the moon as long as it is good and if some punter wants to fork out cash for an expensive bit weed that is up to them.
But i should mention just because its supposedly from dumb ass yank land does not make it a superior product to any weed grown or hash made anywhere else on the planet just more expensive because the yanks are all greedy bastards.

Just my opinion, but I pay little attention to the cali slogan usage on here. I am more concerned with a vendor and product rating. The best marker on here are the reviews, then I go by what I can afford vs what I would like to try/buy. There are some prices on here that means I will never go near that product and if I do try that vendor it doesn’t fill me with great confidence that I will be getting anything decent if it is the lower end of that expensive vendors product lines. To be honest I wouldn’t care if it came from the bottom of my backyard as long as it stones me nicely and is smooth and has good flavour…you don’t need cali or import for that…end of the day it is buyer choice what you buy and also seller choice what is sold and how it is sold. It’s business, so if it’s too pricey and no good, eventually people will go elsewhere….no one wants to be ripped off

Anyone stupid enough to buy an 8th for $100 or more deserves to be diddled. There is undoubtably some fake Cali weeds on here as well as some genuine imports but I leave it all well alone thanks to the prices.

Some of the stuff on here is $160 a 1/8 I mean just don’t buy 5 bags fly to Cali and buy some there it would prob cost you around the same haha it’s utter insanity imo weather it’s real or not no flower is worth that price tag and I just wouldn’t buy it each to there own and all but you can get legit stuff cheaper else where it’s only marked up on here cos It’s the only place most have and can go to get it and vendors know this or they are having there pants pulled down 🧐 I have a pal gets import stuff and for a 3.5 sealed bag you talking no more than £70 for the very very top end normally £50-60, here it’s a harsh mark up I mean I like my pants being pulled down but by a woman Not a vendor haha

Not all cali claims are fake I bought this cart with tracking from California

such a vendor will benefit from a bit of appellation d'origine contrôlée

😂🤣😂

we have dropped this because the wonderwall algorithm appears to be compensating for cali claims now..

Which is ridiculous!

is there any opposition to this?

Opposition is a strong word but...

Why single out Cali? Is Dutch going too? Morrocan or Thai?
How about Organic?

They're giving buyers some idea of what to expect.
The bigger the claim the bigger the spanking if the drop doesn't match.

I agree HMT. I've been happily, every now and again, been ordering 'Cali'. V pricey, yes. If it isn't 'cali' I'm pretty happy as its been v good quality IMHO.
Just taken the plunge with a newish but well respected LB vendor on some $130-ish an 1/8 Cali (nice bag and everything!)
At worst I'll still be $130 worse off but with some weed. In these times I'll take that as a general result in life. Maybe I'll be pissed off for a day or two but that'll be it.
Anyway, I'm rambling now.
Not sure if 'Cali' claims should be banned. let the reviewers tell the tale.....

100%

yes if the name is thrown around enough it becomes a generic term which thai certainly is.

Yeah I'm opposed to it, I find it ludicrous that it's such a big thing that people are making threads over it. If your not interested scroll past. Oh and I'm gonna put a proper thread up later but it appears using the cannverify app that the Cali I got today is actually from California. As for the codes being easy to fake one Reddit post (which is all the proof I have seen so far) does not a 100% factual statement make. So yeah I'm opposed to this suggestion ;)

Is that the 'fake' stuff from The Gentlemen? Seems legit to me...

Yup it's the stuff that was declared 100% fake in another thread

Hi
Hope you're well DEADRABB1T
All the Jungle Boyz we sell have been declared real by our customers on here.
We don't sell fake and not here to rip NO 1 off.
Can anyone suggest how to prove to people that the cali is really?
Because we are willing to provide any evidence anyone wants to see!!!
This topic is been going on for over a year on here and it's not fair on us when genuinely we are trying our best to provide the best strains and service on here.
So if anyone has any ideas how to prove let us know .
Thanks ❤ Peace
TGD

I really feel for you guys- you bust a gut to bring us some fantastic JB strains and the jealous haters who probably just can’t afford it rip into you like that’s your fault!
“PROOF! PROOF!!” ….I mean FFS!…if you are really that sceptical then don’t buy it, easy, there are over 500 options on this site alone!
Leave it for those of us happy to buy and stop pissing on our parade!

Thanks mate
It's cool because our Cali customer know its really .
Just haters and trolls .
Every few weeks the same topic starts .
Maybe we should all get together book a venue and I'll bring all my strains and Everyone's just gets F××king high on the house .
🤗🔥🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Honestly at this point you could book private flights to California, arrange for the doubters to be met at jungle boys hq and watch the bags be filled and the doubters will still be saying stuff like

"They brought the bud over with them" or "were not really in California this is Rotherham" etc

Last time I was in Tescos I called out the the Manager as a lying thieving cockwomble because he couldn’t provide me absolute PROOF that their obviously fake Dom Perignon 2003 came from France. How can they make these claims when it’s so easy to fake labels? Only idiots would buy it so I started smashing the bottles. That showed the wankmuffins….

My case comes up on Thursday….

🤣🤣🤣 LOL your bang on right.

💥Boom💥. 😉👍

Guys sorry my post has a heavy /s on it if it wasn't clear

As I linked the cannverify to the jungle boys pack I had off you

And was from the start of the year

I 100% believe that what I received was genuinely jungle boys 👍👍

As for proving it's impossible if the method that would typically be used eg cannverify is being cast into doubt. Even if the doubters are unable to actually provide proof that it's comprised 🤷🏻 it's a flat earth situation I fear for the non Cali believers

Bro I bought from TGD and they sent me fake zushi. It wasn’t even close to the real deal. I’ve had blue zushi hundreds of times and I’ve had it directly in CA from the actual dispensary. TDG sent me fake zushi, then fucked around with escrow. I’ll get my money back but he’s not as genuine as he comes across.

If he had admitted what he done then I wouldn’t even bother calling him out. But he’s not legit.

He’s downvoting ALL of my comments. TDG is salty and a scammer LOL

No problem it's cool.
If anyone has any ideas let us know and we will provide what ever it is .
Hope all is well wrap up and stay warm the snow is coming .
Love ❤ TGD

Sender from US could always put an airtag in the box, just show the tracking from airport to airport, gives nothing away other than simply showing, its been shipped from the US. Honestly, I don't really care, I'm never gonna be paying that crazy price, but I don't judge those that would now and again. Just like I'm happy with a Maccies over Gordon Ramsay, as long as it tastes good, and works well, who cares :)

Don’t fall for this scammer.

bro you don’t even know what Cali is, you were selling fake blue zushi.

Jungle Boys come pre sealed so it’s not possible for you to fake it unless you’re paying for the bags, which is too much hassle.

But the rest of your shit is fake, I actually ordered from you and now you wanna ask people how to prove if it’s Cali? By selling the real thing and not ripping people off

Yes! It’s nonsense…Cali is some great weed and I want the opportunity to buy it!….all the Cali I have bought on here has been great!

as someone who lists almost exclusively cali i feel bummed out. I don't think in over 5.5k reviews a single person has disputed the claim, the quality is pretty obvious.

maybe thats why i'm so far down the wall now :(

Explains why your buds are brilliant. They mostly come from Cali quality is definitely there
Definitely some off the best buds on here

Yea the algorithm has changed again hasn't it, cause I only LB to buy chocolate and 510 vapes 🤔

No idea what's going on at the moment but it's a bit silly imo

I agree with HMP. Basically everything is a claim and to single out Cali claims is discrimination;) thanks all

bigg up

It’s a shame so much fake Cali as it means the real ones can’t be trusted as well

I would completely agree this would solve many problems, just looking through and there are some really amazing newish sellers but they are right at the bottom below all the "Cali" too which seems unfair.

Ban ban ban if you ask me, charging a premium for something and not having to supply any real proof (for opsec obviously) leaves way too much room for cheeky beggars.

We have to agree with you sir. We sell shake but have been taken off the wall.

Your shake to smoke is very good but just because your not on the wall doesn't mean you should support the above posters. It's more likely that the products you vend are niche and due to that and the lower engagement you get on posts because of the goods will likely translate into no wall time. Have you considered perhaps offering a budget conscious but less shaky and more bud like offer as that's something LB could always do more with (in my opinion)

Since most Cali is grown indoors , what's the point of importing it ? Surely we could just grow the same cultivars locally .

I’m guessing that’s what a lot of sellers do already ?

Might as well ban claims of organic or grown in living soil too. If a vendor is making big claims then a potential customer should do some serious vetting before deciding to part with the coin.

Here here boris. Couldn’t agree more.

Just ban those prices 😂😂😂😂

We import cali ourselves, top-tier grown in and around [retracted] . It just depends on who you shop with, we believe marketing as a difficult topic since there may also be import products sold, if you have had issues regarding import or cali flower on LB you should start a topic about the vendor issues. Caliweed is something sought after, in general it is just weed grown with higher standards. If the weed doesn't check the boxes of smell, taste, high aswell as appearance it should not be cali. Obviously if vendors sell from USA it might be hard to distinguish if something really is from Cali, in the end only the vendors truly can have information about the destination of production.
Also from someone who is really connected around the globe:
Many calipacks come without labels because they are sold without taxes, essentially its recreational weed sold in a black market. This mostly happens to overproduction, or production that did not check all boxes for rc market i.e. dispensaries. Often sold by bigger famous corps but also small black market only corps aswell, those huge amounts of packaged flower aswell as loose flower are sold to big big plugs.

Back to the Calibag topic:

In general Cali should only be bought from truly credible vendors.
Also labeled Cali bags should be controlled because the ones with labels qr codes are the most faked, always check authenticity via scanning qr codes if available. A red flag is if there are no sticker labels on bags, (doesn't have to be fake cali, tho its rare)

It's simply a matter of semantics.

There are barcodes and serial numbers on legitimate cali packs. Though, I guess even those could be refilled and resealed. But any cali pack without dates/serial numbers are fakes.

Not necessarily true, I have a mate in [retracted] that drives to Cali and buys Cali in bulk, they don't even come packed, just loose buds, so honestly it's hard to know whether something is legit or not when it comes to flowers.

Referring to cali packs mate. Clearly wont be dates and serial numbers on loose buds come on lol

Fairs, lol

But even then it's easy to fake all that too.
