You should read Prof, David Nutt’s book ‘Cannabis- Seeing Through The Smoke’. He was the government drugs czar right up until he said that cannabis had positive benefits and then he was sacked! He’s now the driving force behind prescription cannabis.

The UK was one of the last countries to bow to US pressure to criminalise medical cannabis and will probably be one of the last to legalise it recreationally. It’s tightly bundled in with narcotic and alcohol abuse and is easily demonised. There just isn’t any political will for change. But a blind eye is a blind eye and as long as they leave us alone to indulge in sites like this whilst making medical prescriptions ever easier do we really need to care?…

Thank you Polly I will have a read of that.

It's interesting you say they are turning a blind eye to these kind of sites as I've often wondered how it all manages to stay operational and without vendors getting done. I have no understanding of cyber security though so I don't know

Can I have one where I wasn't even high?...quite the opposite- I was in a stuffy business meeting and I will always remember it because I thought I was going to die!

I don't even remember the joke (and it would fail in translation obvs) but it was something visual between me and a mate a few seats away. There was about 10 of us around a table and the boss was a serious guy, no sense of humour, blithering endlessly on.

Anyway, whatever set us off meant that I had to just put my head down and try and pull myself together. The problem was every time I glanced at my mate it set us both off again. I literally have to put my head in my hands and pretend I'm studying notes but my body is shaking. I just need to burst out uncontrollably. My boss just has to notice any second and when he does I will blow, there won't be any stopping me and I won't have any explanation. So what do I do?...I side glance at my friend again and he is is exactly the same position which just makes it so much worse!

I am now sweating and crying and hunched over and my chest really starts to hurt. I can't believe my boss is still droning on about sales targets- he surely must notice but he's a real trooper and just keeps on marching. I can't believe that I can physically hold all this inside without seriously injuring myself.

I try to think of tragic events (like losing my job!) and I surface for air imagining Kylie has died or something but I cannot stop myself glancing at my mate who has gone almost purple, he's really struggling which is of course incredibly funny and not helping at all. My heart is racing and I seriously think I'm going to die.

Suddenly the boss calls a coffee break and I leg it out of the door to the bogs. I wash my face and breath for like 10 minutes and then come out to face the music.

Boss never mentions it! But others in the meeting certainly did and I'll never forget it...it hurt!

Haha, reminds me a bit of my school days doing stupid funny stuff in class and trying not to get caught laughing. None of it as painful as yours though lol.

That’s the tragi-comic thing- we were all senior-ish (account directors, controllers) in a footsie 100…detention or lines wasn’t really an option!😅

We ❤️ LB Growers!

So much love for the mention. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Thank you! X

Do you have a link for The Fallen please, Polly? Not heard of them and can't seem to find their page.

Here you go mate-

https://littlebiggy.com/viewSubject/p/4799182

Unfortunately like Lazydaze, ChronusBuds, Oilman etc they only pop up when they have some harvest to share. Keep those eyes peeled!👀

Thanks Polly, will do! 💚

Have you bought any of these guys grows? How did you find it?

Was just going to say almost all the above :) (have now discovered The Fallen thanks to pollypuff!)

I've tried the Druids buds and they were amazing. Sassy's too, they were so smooth and well grown. Both were special. Haven't tried any of the others yet but looking forward to - I've heard great things about all of them.

Def ❤️ the LB Growers. Been keeping a list :)

I've bought from the druids once before and was blown away by their service. The most friendliest and generous vendors I've dealt with.

Druids are very special and deserve all the respect they get😍

Absolutely - lovely people, brilliant service :) Sassy was fantastic too, a real gent.

Most of them, I keep missing Sassy Buds cos it’s gone in the blink of an eye! Always good and always honest to the descriptions. These guys are enthusiasts who know exactly what they are doing. You just need to be quick- obviously they only appear when they have a harvest and when it’s gone it’s gone!

Cheers mate, I know from buying from druids how it is. I was very lucky to get anything from them as they sold out so quick.

Druids dropping in the new year, Bulldog any day now…😛

👌

Both have been mention but can definitely vouch for

Two excellent growers who clearly care about their products. It's means a lot and is appreciated

**SHOOTS FLARE***

BIG LOVE :D X

Keep it green have some banging gear right now he’s a one man band passionate grower

It’s a shame Litecoin isn’t introduced as a payment method on the site. I’ve purchased from a different platform using that currency & the fees are less than £1. Hope you can order something soon 🍻

People been screaming for LTC as a bare minimum for best part of 2 years. btc just far too unstable to be the sole option, and reduced traffic here benefits no one

Or usdt would be really good, that way vendors don’t lose out on fluctuations

Yup. I lost $3,500 from one crop in 16 days when BTC tanked. Nearly made me leave LB altogether.

Just watching my money dissappear every day was one of the most depressing things I've ever experienced.

Having nobody to contact that made any sense, and having to wait it out for 16 days was like torture.

Fun times 😔

Cheers BB

Any idea why the people who run LB stick with bitcoin?

I think its transaxe, lb is looking for a new payment processor, theres a few posts about this.

Found myself in a similar situation all be it on a smaller scale. Profits for the month wiped out over a few days. Would drive anyone to drink.

Wow. Thats horrendous. I feel your pain and so sorry this has happened to you

See most of my items are on the lower end so the fluctuations in price doesn’t really effect me that much

Cheers mate, knowing my luck it'll be gone by the time the fees come down 😂

Had to make a purchase.

Fees using BTC were £221.
Converted coin to ETH, while it cost me £60 to convert, the fees for sending ETH were 71p.

This site really needs to introduce alternative currency

Yeah its shocking they haven't done anything still, I had to half my last order size and yesterday had to source some outside LB altogether.

I'd be sourcing elsewhere as well if I knew of a better alternative

I live in the scottish highlands so my alternatives are cowshit and turnips. This really needs sorting out. Buying here has become a lengthy and stressful shambles every time

Exactly, so many people dont have an alternative and ive only been lucky this once.

Its such a shame. This site is the best thing to have ever happened to weed culture in the UK, entirely let down by this disfunctional and useless method of payment

Cost me over £40 today to send £200. Utter insanity. We NEED alternatives LB. BTC is going to be the death of the platform if we're not careful...

£30 in fees for a £35 order just can’t believe it!!!!

Does anybody actually know why this is happening???? Did an order a couple of weeks ago and the fees were normal

Btc volatility has been hugely positive recently - 20%-30% gains achieved over 30 day periods. Everyone wants to fill their wellies or take profits creating massive traffic on the blockchain. Miners can charge what they want to settle transactions. It’s proving that btc is utter shit when it comes to buying stuff! ..

Thanks, kinda makes sense I guess

Ordinals (pictures stored on a token) and BRC-20 (Shitcoins on BTC) are going nuts atm too doesn't help with fees as blocks are being spammed with shite now.

Network fees are currently absurd. Hopefully, administrators will explore alternative options. GAW

We should all go on strike. Would cause mayhem at Xmas & LB would have to pull the finger out to avoid a massive loss for them.

Yep. Literally can’t afford to buy anything on here right now.

Meh. I’ll just have to crack into my shite stuff stash.

Hopefully it’ll get back to normal soon or Christmas is gonna be ruined 😟

Just paid 6 quid to send 56 on exodus,it's shocking still but best I have seen it for a while, hope it will be down to normal before long

I'm sure that transaxe said litecoin would be an alternative payment option over a year ago, but nothing ever happened???

Apparently they did say that. What a shame it hasn't happened.

I just paid £36 in fees to get 0.03BTC from Bittylicious. Then it was nearly £10 in priority gas fees to send over that amount to Transaxe. It's much more expensive than usual as it's near 4% fees for the initial transaction, and that's usually 2-3% (so not massively more), but the fees to send are usually 1/10th of that.

The fees do comedown at night sometimes, maybe worth looking at about 22:00?

Even though my order has expired its now 8 days and my payment is still not confirmed, so my money is stuck in the blockchain for god knows how long. This is supposed to be a community based on trust. Id say that trust has been violated by LB administrators who still have not implemented any number of stable crypto alternatives after over a year of these ongoing ludicrous fee fluctations. Where in the world would you buy any other product where you have to throw your money into the void like this? It is truly ridiculous. Vendors are losing thousands and everyone is getting shafted using BTC. I just dont get it

Network fees £20.56 on exodus right now (18/11/23) 😭

How are peeps checking the transfer fee/ cost?
I only know wen I’m going to pay on coin base then I see the charges

The cubes at top.

https://mempool.space/ Go on this website mate!

Thanks mate

Same here, after about a 100 times checking I see fee is in the £13 region now

Did it process mate.otherlyether has posted just under here that his stuff didn’t process.
Thinking I may take the hit to order something off lb but not if it isn’t working still after paying fees

I have BTC in coinbase, need to order of LB but holding back till the high network fee comes down

Honestly these network fees are an absolute pisstake atm. We definitely need an alternative payment method on LB. I personally took the hit this time but I really can’t continue to use LB going forward if the fees stay this high, which is such a great shame because i love LB and it’s been nothing short of a god send since i’ve started using it and i’d be gutted to go back to my street dealer, but these fees leave me with no other choice

any chance these are fixed 21st?

Looking forward some changes too. Litecoin is best option now

Can anyone here help me out at all please? Ive had my order expire after 4 days waiting after paying 25 quid fees on 120 quid order. Apparently the payment is still loading on the blockchain despite the order having expired. My wallet stll shows the funds in it but cant send them anywhere as theyve already been started on the blockchain. Have reached out to both Cryptonic and Transaxe with no response, Vendor couldnt help either but seems hes just as fuming as me with at least 40 orders been waiting to confirm for a week or more. So much money being thrown in the air here by all involved with no clear way of sorting out. This is a horrific mess for all concerned

Only way to sort it quick is to repay the fees, but more.
Go to this link, add your wallet address and find the btc transaction id, the btc transaction that's stuck.
This is the general btc transaction id, has nothing to do with lb nor transaxe.
You can pm me this transaction id and i can check if you can repay the fees if you want and i'll tell you exactly how.
Just know this if you paid high fees sending btc from your wallet to transaxe then you're gonna have to pay even more fees to push it through, up to you if it's worth it or not.

I just buy direct from coinbase and do it at night time.
Normally under a £ for a 100 transaction??

It’s been £11 network fee to send from Coinbase for a week or so. Lowest it went to was £4 on Sunday morning

Finally I have been verified on coin base after many days. I will wait till Sunday morning to add funds as you say it's cheaper. I think coin base give £5 bonus on first top up so this should compensate for the high fees

Hmm 31 quid fees on a 17 quid order 😳😳
Am never paying that not as long as ive got a hole in my arse 😤

4 or 5 days ago it went down to about £5 late at night on CB so I managed to send some to my wallet.. tried more today and its £14, that's the highest I've ever seen it lol

If I'm buying £200 bit on coin base, it states £7 fee, is this normal price to buy?

You are better off adding cash and then using advance trade to buy. It’s £14 network fee to send at the moment it’s a joke

Am I right in believing LB don't accept LTC? Cos many other sellers onother websites state they can take litecoin as BTC fees are high at moment

Yeah it’s BTC only here and nobody can understand why they won’t add a cheaper faster alternative option

I only Dave debit card option to add money to coinbase, IV added £50 as a tester and they charged a £2 fee. Now when I want to send the BTC to coinbase wallet they are charging £14 fee. I also have a exodus wallet which tops up from whichever exchange that is giving the best rate (£9 fees) I'm abit confused. I'm wanting to buy a Oz which is 221dollars. Do I transfer from coinbase to exodus wallet and pay the £14 coinbase fee, do I pay the same fee again when sending from.exodus wallet to vendor. Or is it best to send from coinbase exchange to my coinbase wallet? What are people doing at the moment with fees being sold high

Not buying from LB atm unfortunately because of fees

That's the transaction fee that's allways the same, we talking about the network fee here that you pay when transferring to wallet

For KYC;
Kraken - 3.75% CC/DC, 0.5% bank t
Coinbase - 3.99% CC/DC, 1.49% bank t

For non-KYC;
Moonpay - 4.5% CC/DC, 1% bank t
Banxa 2% - CC/DC, 1% bank t

0.5% is pretty good. Is that kraken or kraken pro? How do you find it for user friendliness?

That's just Kraken mate.

I'd say both Kraken and Coinbase are extremely user friendly.

Nice one 👍
On bitylicious I buy the bitcoin and have it sent to my exodus wallet in one go. Is it the same for kraken?

I’d have to say Cheese, between 2000/2005.

Reminds me of my school days when we used to chip in £1/2 to get a £5 draws haha

These were the days 3 pound each and trying to pursuade a dealer to give us a tens

4 ways on a teenth was not uncommon in NW2 in 1998.
Some lame hash with dog hairs in it from the local hippie-🤣🤣.

Those WERE the days ay.

Definitely and Luton blues

For me it has to be some Bruce Banner #3 from 1e hulp in the dam all the way back in 2017. I've never been able to recapture that one. It was a skunky, kind of gassy & fruity type all rolled into one with such a unique flavour profile to finish. The high was second to none. Wiped me right out. Left me looking at the world with my eyes so bulged they were basically closed. They say you'll never recapture that first high, this one took me above and beyond.

Bruce Banner great strain very powerful

For sure! It flew under the radar quite a bit and I think it's unique musk and it's face melting is why.

I don’t know if it’s the best, but my favourite strain is Sour Diesel. I’ve been a fan since I tried the East Coast cut that Grey Area used to sell in Amsterdam. Some of the best tasting weed I’ve ever had.

Yes I remember that sour diesel from the grey area 👍😂😉also the New York city Diesel from Abraxsas.that was a nice smoke.i drove to Amsterdam that year 2006 if i recall world cup time..I smuggled 6 grams of that back 🥴.and made it through ha ha 🤣.those were the days 😉

It’s for sure a classic

Yellow Zushi for me.

Chocalope!

classic Stardawg, u can never go wrong

I had the best stardawg from SDL recently classic old school gassy dawg

I couldn’t agree more

I’m not ashamed to agree.
Gets you boxed too. Can’t deny that.

Quality Stardog is done off the best bud

A Rare Cherry Pheno AK 47 from SIlk road in 2010.

I see we got a dark web veteran here

Ooh that sounds interesting.
Cherry AK.

I wonder what strain is it that brings this cherry terpene to the plate?

ESB - extra special bud , Old times #2 and S4 - Skunk 4 ways. S4 by far was the best I have ever had even to this day sadly it was a special made breed so will never have the oppurtunity to try it again :(

If you grow both those strains are available mate.
They're both OLDTIMER1 strains who sadly is no longer with us but some good fellows have taken up the mantle of his strains...people like buddelaire from fleur de mal seeds

Still got a couple of Oldtimes seeds in the fridge I think, probably no good after all these years?

You would be surprised.
People have germinated seeds found in Egyptian tombs thousands of years old.

Super Lemon Haze from the original Greenhouse Coffeeshop in Amsterdam :)
Also Arjans Strawberry Haze is right there with it, properly grown in soil for pure taste, can't beat the sweet berry on the exhale!

Ooo I forgot about strawberry haze, that was a great flavour esp the ones that genuinely tasted of strawberries!

8 month break with the family and dam is it good to be back with you Biggaz.

My favourite strain ever was back in 2004 and called MMG “Martian Mean Green” from DNA, I managed to get a few beautiful phenos from a pack of reg seeds

It was the ultimate strain and I’ve never seen or smelt anything like it since then ❤️

Absolutely loved that strain. I remember queuing for a long time as I was there for the cannabis cup (2006). Grey Area’s queue was ridiculous on a normal day!

A very special strain which I haven’t seen since unfortunately.
Would love to see someone give that a go and bring it back.

Purple Haze back in 2008. Smelt and tasted like lavender. Haven’t had anything quite like it since then.

Man I used to get some banging street weed back around those times. Northern Lights, White Widow and good ole Cheese were the norm.

Never knew the strain but I've been forever trying to find something that I smoked about the same era that had a lavender terp.

Lovely stuff, got it once and then I've never seen anything like it since.

got an oz like that in the late 90's, had the potent lavender smell and taste. think it was a bit on the indica pheno side. very dark purple and when you snapped the buds in half the core was almost black. amazing bag appeal. really strong and tasty stuff too

Gelonade I had a lovely batch a few years ago off the dw never tasted gelonade like it since and can’t even remember who the seller was called

recently went to albania, fuck knows what it was but it was something mint related.... they albanians know how to grow haha

Best growers in the world hands down haha

Some sweet tooth from Barney's in Dam. Some of the "Ice" a local strain I smoked in Jamaica.
Barry Bonds from ULC on here

Now that is some serious variety 👌

I get around like the Beach Boys!

Honourable mentions to the Hawaiian Haze at Katsu in Dam too.

Had serious difficulties negotiating everyday tasks after that.

Probably the timeless Afghan Kush for me

Purple Haze back in 2008. Smelt and tasted like lavender. Haven’t had anything quite like it since then.

Man I used to get some banging street weed back around those times. Northern Lights, White Widow and good ole Cheese were the norm.

Oreoz from super Hans back in lockdown. Most expensive bud I've bought but it literally tasted of chocolate biscuits. It was heaven.

Special Olympics, a sativa strain from a Canadian MOM, Zippy about 16 years ago. One that will never be forgotten.

Blue Cheese for me. One best tasting and strong high, wish it would come back.
