So screw it I decided to make another post because if there's anyone I genuinely trust to give me solid real advice it's my pot smoking friends here.

I've been in my job for almost a decade and I thoroughly hate it, the wage is bad the stress is massive, the micromanaging is insane and there's absolutely zero job satisfaction.

How do people even pursue careers? I've got a wealth of experience in IT, phones, systems, customer service etc but it's all generic experience. I have friends who work for IT making more sustainable PC parts, dealing with wind turbines, engineering in car companies and I just don't know how they went from school to that.

I'm not naive, it takes time, patience and dedication for anything but I've been scouring options for months and I just can't seem to work out what I could do that pays me more than I earn now, would give me a better work life balance and would allow me to have a better quality of life.

Essentially the old trope of working for the man. I can't say what I do but it's in the public sector and it is a shit, shit job with almost no benefits and due to it not being private the pay is abymsal.

Rant over, what is it you do, do you earn a good liveable wage and would you recommend it to anyone looking?

Thanks

Hi everybody,

Not been on for another 7 months or so so I do hope the scene and site and community are all thriving as they should be and you're all looking after each other and yourselves!

My health has gotten worse and worse of late and I'm a bad way at the mo but keeping positive at the minute since what else am I meant to do haha.

Had a few questions and updates if anyone cares and didn't want to make 3 topics so I've just put them in one post;

1: What's the most visually appealing strain you've ever seen? I've been 'trying' (online without much commitment) to get hold of a strain called Zoap by Wizard trees and have had zero luck.

I've either had the option to buy a lb from US vendors rather than the 3.5g I want or can't get it shipped or seen meh clones or random bud in mylar bags passed off as Zoap.

I might not even like it but the purples and oranges of that bud are ridiculous Eye candy and I'd love to get some cast in resin to just look at it looks like it's from space, how about yourselves?

2: Any idea where I'd actually get that strain ? It's expensive anyway so I'd be paying way over the odds regardless but I'd love to just try it. Do we have any legit vendors that import those packs? There are a few coffee shops in Amsterdam that stop it so if I ever get back over ill do that otherwise but it doesn't hurt to ask.

3: Updates!

My daughter was born 7 months ago and she is a gem, I am so happy to have her in my life and every day I've spent with her has for the most part been a blessing.

It has also been the hardest 7 months of my entire life, I haven't been rested and relaxed in over a year and my wife's the same. Even if she stays out just getting one 8 hour sleep can not reinvigorate you and it's a true testament to the phrase "Nothing can prepare you for being a parent".

The pros definitely outweigh the cons but God damn to have the opportunity to sleep, play the guitar, play some games, speak above any level and be able to just go "We have no plans this weekend" without having to be up at 6am is something you will never appreciate until it's gone 😄

I've posted a number of updates about my high tolerance, I was admitted to hospital a few months back with issues with my Diabetes and decided I needed to cut out drinking entirely. I ended up in because I was hungover and it ended up being 9 days of no food on drips. I was convinced it was ale (drank a lot more since baby was born to destress) and even now I don't really miss it, haven't had a bevvy in almost 3 months and don't think I will again if I'm honest.

I'm back in hospital for the same thing so I know it wasn't just due to ale, turns out I've got another condition that's causing my body to fuck itself at every point so I'm now 8 days in hospital and will be for a bit longer.

Jobs going terribly, cash is tight, stress is high and energy is low but I am positive and I'm sticking to being positive not just for the family but for my own self worth.

Finally, weed! I had a ridiculous addiction to it and that stems (badum-ch) from struggling to deal with my own situation. I ended up basically not having any unless it was to calm me down after coke which coupled with ale became a much bigger expensive issue that I have thankfully been forced to squash. I couldn't have a joint to chill with the baby needing attention and I was so tired and it turned out I could get it pretty easily which ended up ramping up to a problem I knew I had to fix and I did.

Anyway, went back to having a bit of weed now she's older and more predictable a couple of times a week. It's actually so funny I went from smoking more than an Oz a month to getting 1g of crumble a year ago from Eddie and still having a bit left now haha.

I'm at a point where I get vapes a bit cheaper off site and the vape is where it's at in terms of cleanliness, smell, speed etc but occasionally get a chance to have a doob and I enjoy it again.

Any groundbreaking changes here or on the market in general? How are you all doing?

Sorry for the bit wall of oversharing it's actually more to get it down in words for myself to people I know understand than a big woe is me spiel but I do hope you're all thriving, any weed advice or things I could look out for and treat myself to once moneys right again would help your man out massively.

All the best,

Ship

Hello brethren,

It’s me, Ship. I’ve not been on for a while as life has just been absolutely crazy lately and I’m actually smoking less weed than ever.

My beautiful wife gave birth to our beautiful daughter yesterday and I’m currently ‘chilling’ in the hospital, she was ten days early which sounds about right.

Now I’m going to tell you about something that happened last month that will definitely make you laugh/make you cringe for me.

Anyone who’s read anything I’ve posted here knows my tolerance for weed is very high and all I’ve done since getting on LB is try to chase a high to get through the hustle and bustle of a complicated life.

Got in touch with a vendor not from here who sells Rice Krispy square edibles, 450mg each and £5 each, I thought damn that’s amazing value for money bare in mind I’ve eaten 500mg of sweets and edibles from here and only had a very small background high two hours later. They bake the edibles themselves and this lot were filled with distillate, he’d made them 560mg by accident but let me know.

So here’s how things went down, the night before I’d gone to my mates for a smoke we were 2 blunts and 2 joints in and my mate turned up with some rolled so I had some of them.

I don’t smoke tobacco, always smoked my weed as it comes because every time I smoke cigs I get bifter buzz and end up vomiting, cue 20 mins later and I’m upstairs heaving up the lovely carbonara we’d made at home.

Next day I’m angry, I’ve got work and once again a bug smoking session and not only did I not get high I ended up screwing myself up.

It’s Monday the cakes turned up I’m working from home I’ll eat a full one and see how I go. Cut forward 20 mins later, I’m on an empty stomach and having a joint and start feeling it so I stopped smoking and was like damn that was fast. This is where the story gets bad.

I go upstairs, look at my PC and my eyes just zoom in I was like oh snap these must be the real deal. I start getting high, uncomfortably high, and this starts escalating from the 20 minute mark and over the next hour and a half at no point does it slow down.

I’m like shit it’s 9am I’m meant to be working and my head is about to fall off, my wife texts me “Invite your sister the baby shower”. Every time I text my sister even when I say I’m working she calls me, I said don’t call me I’m working I get called and ignore it.

Then I get a text “it’s important, I need you to speak to a social worker”. I answer the call and speak to a social worker, there’s been an incident with my niece and they needed to give me as little info as possible but said I’m the person my sister has designated as someone she trusts (high as fuck on a Monday morning before work) and that I’ll have to come to a meeting, I can’t go into the specifics but they wanted to ask if I’d be able to ‘help the family’ if the child had to be taken away for a while.

I’m looking in the mirror high as a fucking kite absolutely shitting myself, got a baby due in a month and now I might have to foster my niece, at that point I hit white. I’m vomiting everywhere, while working, waiting for social workers calls with information.

I ring my wife and tell her, long story short I manage to sort it out ( went to a court hearing as her representative it all ended up sorted weeks later) and I’m like fuck me how did this happen.

I got ten of these edibles, a week later had half of one - hit white again. Two days later 1/3 or one -hit white again! I’ve had 8 edibles untouched in the shed for weeks because I’m terrified to try one, I found something inexpensive that truly gets me high and realised I’d been chasing something I straight up didn’t want.

I must have had about ten joints since then where normally I smoke 3 a day.

All sorted now but seriously that is terrible luck.

Hope you’re all doing well, inwards to fatherhood

Apologies if this isn’t allowed, but sometimes you get service with a product that goes above and beyond. I will preface this by saying I am in no way sponsored etc by doc this is purely my experience.

I know there are lots of people new to the range of weed products you can get there and with thousands of listings with different pricing etc you might end up going round in circles trying to get a good product.

Docs distillate carts are anywhere between 10-30% cheaper than competitors with the same product and it’s clear they use the right balance. I’ve tried a G6 cart which was twice the price and it was great but for that price it makes much more sense to get two of these, I honestly think they’re as good.

My tolerance is high, so for me I wasn’t getting my moneys worth on distillate carts, then they brought out 50/50 live resin carts, about 1/5 more expensive and the difference for me was incredible, more of a weed taste more of a ‘full’ high (longer lasting, physical feeling, even the effect on coughing haha).

THEN this mfer brings out 100% Live resin carts! I must say I prefer the 50/50 but the full one is stronger hits harder and longer and it’s essentially a few quid more than most other D9 distillate carts. I will say I’ve not had any other resin carts here and the only one I could really see being as good might be those Live resin + Diamonds vapes but I’ve never tried one, and they’re more expensive.

Bought a D9 and 3, 50/50s over a couple of months and the 50/50 cart I got was blocked, my man offered a replacement immediately. It could have been salvaged but they insisted, they sent me out a new 100% resin to try since the 50/50 were out of stock.

It was amazing, I ordered another 100% myself I was that impressed and gave some feedback on the taste, smell etc (brand new product you should have some feedback) and I had a tiny issue with it (which was probably on my end).

Without even mentioning it they sent me another 50/50 which was absolutely amazing, getting skint towards the end of the month and this was a lifesaver.

But it’s not just that (Also don’t take the piss about trying to get free carts, they gave me amazing advice on fixing the cart that I couldn’t find anywhere on the internet and did it in good faith) they are so sound to talk to, clearly give a shit about the product really friendly and down to earth, no question too small no little joke too stupid honestly a fully pleasant experience.

I find some vendors don’t specialise in a product (if you have everything more power to you) and because they offer a wide range, the quality and product take a bit since they aren’t well regulated (not everyone but at least 3 I could say off the top of my head) but from what I can tell Doc just wants you to get Distillate and get high, no drama ifs or buts, no messing up with packaging or delivery or stealth nothing.

Gone are the days of getting shite from a street dealer and acting like you’re happy like when a barber shaves your head when you asked for a mullet and you go “Perfect that mate”. I like LB because you can sell a high quality product and get feedback on it.

I think everyone should use Doc as an aspiration of what a good vendor does, if they keep it up I can’t see them ever NOT excelling.

Cheers Doc!

TL;DR: strongest vapes I’ve had here, best price per product, best quality of product and amazing communication, stealth and delivery. Absolute boss, would recommend to anyone after carts!

Bonus if I can blast it in my little dab pen!

Already decided i'm almost definitely getting another Live Resin vape, some ISO hash and probably 1oz of Shake (Probably Zkittlez was mad impressed last time but will check others first) and then for whatever's left either;

Some high THC chocolate and then either 7g of nice bud, 14g or alright bud or possibly some 3x filtered.

Anyone had any 3x hash, or any top shelf hard hitting bud lately that you want to recommend? Got half an Oz from Nero, Pistach and some others in the cart that i'm just trying to find more for my buck.

Also, I like the ISO hash in shake, had it in a joint even nicer but i'd genuinely be willing to buy half an Oz of 'Very well grown' StarDawg instead of something exotic since it's clear why everyones grows it and i'd love to try the best possible strain of it to compare!

Happy Friday Biggas!

Hi all,

Got hold of some of Eddy's lovely ISO, ordered one of the AIO Dab pens and was hoping to use them together. I got some rosin which is lovely, melts fine and gives good hits but the hash just doesn't melt.

I don't know whether the pen's max heat is too low for ISO hash, whether it needs to be wet etc. but i've tried some in a joint and not had much of a result out of it, I did the same with the resin in a joint and when I dabbed it it was a completely different experience.

Now to preface, i'm early 30s but I never smoked around the Exodus Cheese/Skunk/Soapbar Hash days so I don't really have that past experience of (Now) lower quality merch so I know what's what.

I have tried ISO and 3x filtered Hash and commercial. Never felt much off commercial, liked the smoke and effect of the 3x and really liked the ISO smoke.

What i'm asking is, there's SO MANY different strains of Hash, we're talking Sticky black, Blonde, Charra balls, Commercial, Sifts etc. and i'd love some info.

What do you look out for here when the 'Commerical' (Big brown block) of Hash listings get posted? Are certain strains (and ways they're made) 'better' than others? What would you straight up avoid and what do you like getting your hands on, and why?

I know loads about flower, I know the differences in buds, strains, growing, S/I/H, you name it but with Hash i'm just like "That's brown and squishy looking" and "That's less brown and more squishy looking".

I also know about isolator and some extraction processes to understand the quality and price increase of how the Hash is cultivated but what I don't understand is the difference between some of the Spongebob/RaceCar/Celebrity print bars of Hash, I didn't grow up smoking it back in the day so now when I want to try some I feel like i'm lost.

Thanks

Hi all, so if that's the title imagine the body of text you're about to devour.

Last post was about Hash and having a high tolerance, and vapes. I got hold of 3 vapes, and a 3x Filtered Pinky Panties hash from Nero and got to work.

The hash was awesome for smoking, not as strong as i'd like but 100% stronger than any bud i've smoked in the last 9 months, and now i've got rid of my preconceived notion that Hash if crap.

Now, that hash was good and i'd buy more but I really want to know what's 'Next'. Is there a stronger, more potent Hash than 3x filtered? Any experience with it, and if so any links to what you'd recommend. Otherwise i'll probably get more of this, but I hate waiting 10 days for delivery because I take the world for granted :|

Next, I bought 3 vapes. In one of my posts I mentioned them and someone asked if they were from a specific vendor. I said they were, they didn't respond no problem. Yesterday I came on and was reading one of these topics about vapes and the same user commented that the one he'd had from the vendor i'd just bought from had been sent off and came back as containing 'Spice' (Similar chemical composition allegedly not found in any vapes normally).

While i've smoked all 3 out because mama didn't raise no monk, I didn't find them amazing and i've come to the conclusion that with anyone able to make vapes and with there being so little regulation on LB other than reviews and topics, I felt a bit annoyed.

I saw another USA official vape pop up today for $60, there was also an argument the other week in regards to the 10/10 vapes going for $75 that were allegedly fake, the seller said they'd taken them down... it's the first thing I see when I click 'items'.

So with that, what i'm asking is, outside of Canadian Imports/SN2D are there any PROVEN sellers of LEGITIMATE branded carts here?

I've had plenty of homemade ones which are fine, had 3 'Branded' which were basically sweet tasting shite but i've never had an official 10/10, Garden, Packwoodz etc. vape and with how many blag ones are flying about (Even here) has anyone got any advice (Other than just don't smoke vapes, some of us have wives who won't let them blaze the Jazz Cabbage 24/7).

Thanks

Hey Biggas!

Had an absolutely mad time this last 6 months on here, it's opened my eyes to what's available in the world and what it does. I'm on a few other DN sites with reviews but this is the only one with full on interaction between people and I honestly love it.

Was sick of getting bumped for terrible Ammo or Dawg (Hit and miss, sometimes great mostly whack) and after a holiday in the USA/Canada I really opened my eyes to what was out there.

Honestly, this place is fantastic. Even when there's a lull in the old finances and you can just read some interesting topics when you're not ordering, the amount of Tel scams, Insta scams etc. i've come across looking for decent stuff has been astounding. Some of them are local, they talk regionally and the whole things just a scam.

I get a fool and his money are easily parted, but it seems harder and harder these days to get some consistency in your life.

Anyway, i've had some inconsistent purchases here but that's a minority, it's opened my eyes to the Clearnet (Use onion etc. but didn't think anything was out there on the CN), other parts of the DN that are reputable and a load of products I didn't know I needed in my life.

Questions!

1) Hash: I've been looking at Hash lately, i've had Rocky and stuff never been a massive fan I normally end up rolling some into a normal weed joint and that's that. I've seen some recent comments talking about how they've had some of the best they've ever had here on LB and they'll buy like an oz of it.

2) How do you smoke an Oz of Hash? I'd genuinely love to know, don't smoke tobacco but i'm a big weed smoker and all I ever mix it with when the budget's low is Marshmallow herbal supplement (Shite but it works) but I just don't think i've ever really had a strong high from hash.

Tell me i'm an idiot and tell me why.

3) My tolerance is high, I was just diagnosed as ADD at 30, something i'd never considered about myself until I started reading up on it. It's been obvious to some people (look at how much i'm typing) but it's never stopped me living an ordinary productive life and the worst anyone's ever said is "Bloody hell lad don't you have an off switch?" :D
Sadly at this point of my life i've had to go private and it's taken 3 years just for a diagnosis, at this point i've got no medication and it'll be up to 16 weeks before that process starts. I chased this diagnosis as i've been dealing with depression since I was about 18 and unfortunately changes in lifestyle, eating, exercise, medication seemed to have no noticeable impact on me. Hopefully with this diagnosis I can have some medication that'll target what's causing my to get like that rather than how I feel.

I only mention this because I do tend to need a lot more of something to get the kick I need, and I do have a problem slowing down with it. I'll buy an Oz and expect it to last me a month and a week later i've smoked the whole thing working from home because i'm feeling so fed up or uninterested in anything else i'm meant to be doing.

I don't want any sympathy (Poor lad gets through an Oz in a week, we feel for you) I just wanted to explain the situation for my next question.

4) 3 wasn't even a question, I have the chest infection from hell that's giving me a probably needed but definitely not welcome T break. It's giving me a good time to have a think and a break while getting my ass kicked.

If I have a budget of say £250 a month for weed, and my tolerance is pretty high (Not just the 4 joints a day, the ADD. Reminds me of that joke "I feel terrible today someone must have spiked one of my 11 pints"). What do you think is the best bang for my buck?

I've bough Trim, Shake, good weed, meh weed, i've tried a 22k 1g of resin which was meh didn't have a dab or enough of it to make something crazy. I've bought countless vapes, I've tried so many strains over the years (Got some favourites that I hardly see these days like Sundae Driver, also worried i'll try them again and be disappointed).

If you could set yourself a target in that range outside of just buying bud what would you get? I'd love to make some Zombie Sticks for when I see the lads because they'll definitely give me a kick but not for the price they are and i'm wondering how much it'd cost to try and get stuff like that made from your own gear.

I started typing this 2h ago and had a wave of sickness so had to come back to it.

Always a long post, thanks for being so down to earth my brothers and sisters, to the site itself for accommodating a healthy, non toxic marketplace for us poor bastards in the UK who aren't going to see legal dispensaries for I reckon 10 years minimum.

Have a good Christmas/Time off whatever you're doing!

TL:DR; I don't blame you, tolerance is quite high feels like smoking weed no matter how decent has low returns, want to branch out into Hash, Concentrates, Edibles etc. and I spend about £250 a month on bud, any recommendations on what I can get to still get high and chill out after a long day without having to chain smoke like 3 joints.

Hi all,

I've had quite a few vapes (Carts, disposables) from LB and private vendors and i've had maybe one that's even come close to one I had in Vegas.

Now i'll say this, when I went to Vegas it was my first time trying any bud outside of Hash and Weed and I hit white by the pool blasting it. That being said, I know they hit your tolerance fast and there's definitely a chance some carts i've had are decent i'm just attuned to it.

I did get a G6 cart on here which was very expensive for what it was but it was absolutely the closest thing to what I had there.

This cart must have been less than $30 from a dispensary called Reef.

I'd like to try it again because if i've just overhyped it i'm done with carts I don't get the same benefit from them for the price.

Thanks!

Try me out !

We are now offering 1ml disposable vape pens. We decide to try find a device with a pre heat button as we have used auto fire disposables in the past and the issue is when they clog they become unusable as you can’t pull any air through meaning the coil won’t activate so you can fix the clog, where as with our new vapes is you ever get a clog all you have to do is pre heat your vape and it should unclog straight away:)

Trainwreck is the first strain we will be selling in the new disposable vapes, but all our flavours will be available in the form of disposables soon as well.

To use the vape click 5 times to turn it on or off, it has 3 power modes, click 3 times to change through them red is the highest green is the lowest, to pre heat just click twice.

I hope you all enjoy them:)

I've been considering this topic for a while now but a recent experience prompted me to see what others think.

I think I'm pretty much done with buying Cali bud. I'd never tried any before joining LB last year but I've tried numerous strains from a variety of different but reputable vendors now and my overall conclusion is that I'm going to stick with well-grown UK bud.

All of the mids I've tried so far have suffered from the same issues: overly dry, barely any terps so smell & taste is crap, and a lot of the flower is clearly PGR to boot. I'm guessing the lack of terps could be partly due to long periods of being vac packed for shipping but I can't help the feeling there's a reason this stuff is being shipped over to us here in bulk instead of being consumed within the US.

Full disclosure, I've only gone up to Mids level and haven't ever tried 'top tier' Cali, so I can't say whether that would change my mind. Quite frankly, I'm not prepared to fork out $100 for an eighth when I can pay less than half of that for an equivalent amount of cracking UK produce from the likes of RealD, Druids, BB, Sassy, GC, Eddy's, etc. Every single one of them has sent me gear that's put the Cali that I have tried to shame and I see no reason to spend the extra for a potential disappointment. Granted, the top level stuff might be high enough in THC to put me on my arse after two tokes but that's not really what I'm after, especially if it looks, smells and tastes like last year's fire kindling and costs the same for 2g as a half oz of homegrown.

Do any other biggas agree or do I need to try that top drawer stuff and then eat my words?
