Buying weed in Thailand

Buying weed in Thailand
I've been in Thailand past few weeks, and the bitch of all bitches i couldn't get any weed from my usual place. Went to an island called koh samet , was hesitant to ask as other islands are abit dodgy and the weed is shit! Anyways I found the best smoke I've had here to date!! Best bar I've been in too, you can sit back relax and blaze away with the barman at the bar or alone watching the waves, I was shocked no advice about putting it in your pants watch your eyes ect.. that place is the most relaxed I've seen its literally like being in the Netherlands but 10x better!! They've got something good going on with the piggies, ,
blazing away at 2pm in the afternoon on the front of the beach, with lots of tourists old people and kids walking past is very unique in Thailand... Weed is a deep dark green from the sun, has the classic Thai smell and hashy sort of taste, strength is 8/10 it's the most strong Thai weed I've had, .. the bar is safe and they want customers it's called 'gecko bar' so if you're planning a holiday head to koh samet , besides decent weed it's got beautiful beaches and right now Chinese free! No food and bits of rubbish floating around the Ocean!

Exactly mate I'll be honest I do get abit para , some places they stop you for piss test if they suspect, but you hit the nail on the head , having cash on you is way out of nearly everything in Thailand. Nice one bulldog ;)
Price is abit more than in Bangkok, around BKK you can get a kilo for under 300 pound, those little bricks are about a q and cost 1000 BAHT about 25 quid , this is the price due to the army being in control and not as many tourist,. I'm sure if busy they will sell for 800 BAHT , its high price for Thailand but at the end of the day you are paying for the protection of the bar aswel
Bangkok is abit harder to score weed safely, crystal meth is more rampant in loads of clubs and bars, Khaosan Road for weed, if you get caught in Bangkok you will need to pay top dollar better to hide it in pants if you score take no chances. Only smoke small joints on the balcony of your hotel , its best to make a friend if your there long term, and blaze in your condo. No matter where you are in Thailand reggae bars are 90% safe to ask ,The islands are the place ,more care needed in Phuket or around Pattaya but in general apart from them 2 you ain't gonna see no police, as opposed to Bangkok where it's full of mean looking bastards itching to nick you

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?
Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.
Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.
The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.
They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.
I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!
I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.
I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.
Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?
Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.
It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
Proper kettle of fish this one! but I couldn’t resist throwing my 2 cents in.
Racism is an inherent belief that one group are superior to another based purely on membership to said group; that for example being white would mean that you are superior to non-whites by virtue of your whiteness. Although this is of course the most common example, it’s important to remember that racism has been perpetrated by, and against, a multitude of groups such as the current situation in China with Uighur Muslims and so on.
Nationalism is the identification with ones nation and the desire to see that nation succeed. often, but not exclusively, to the detriment of other nations.
One can be a nationalist but not a racist, but I would argue that it’s quite rare to meet a racist who is not also a nationalist.
I don’t think nationalism is always a bad thing - we saw for example at the onset of COVID-19 in Europe a large degree of nationalism as all of these countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement suddenly conveniently ignored the treaty in order to shut their borders and protect their citizens (uselessly, as it turned out) against the spread of C19.
However, nationalist sentiment needs to be controlled carefully because the downside to it could be seen, you could argue, In the Capitol siege/riots on January 6th as nationalist fervour tends to spread and morph very rapidly and almost always ends in violence and almost always ends in Fascism
Sorry for the wall of text but this is such a fascinating topic!

a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.
Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real
Not synonymous, but it's an interesting point.
In some sense, I think it is an individual and academic choice to be patriotic (even that is turned into a dirty word now), root for your country or be proud of it voxally. It's OK to like your country if you really do. You do live there after all. It's just a country. Other countries are not minorities in their own country as the British are not here.
As you allude to, it is a lottery, not a skill, being British (or Irish for that matter). There is little merit to being "proud" I agree. But it doesn't oppress anyone or anything in itself. It is a way to preserving culture and way of life. You can't pick who you think should be able to do that.
Otherwise, the takeaway is, only the oppressed are allowed to be proud of anything and preserve culture. What kind of world is that?
I do think that no matter what, being proud of your race is pointless, stupid and divisive.
It suggests a nexus between a superiority or exceptionality and racial group.
After all, skin colour is decided only by a few alleles in the genome and indicates very little about one's charachter.

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

I think it is oxytocin that causes the problems as it creates aggressive in-grouping, be it from the innateness from skin colour or the innateness from where someone was born.
There was a study I linked to but there is more out there about the dark side of oxytocin. There was quite a few articles in the dumber section of media about giving men oxytocin to fix their aggression problems when in fact it might be a major factor in causing them.

Nationalism has more positive range for example promoting culture. Racism is usually associated with negative feelings about other races.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

I'm a nationalist. I want England and all our major cities to be English and not resemble Bangladesh. That makes one a racist nowadays.
If the reason you give for those cities resembling Bangladesh is people of other races, that's kinda the definition of racism. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a closet racist.
If it's the colour of people's skin you're referring to, and you're suggesting you have to be white to be regarded as english, then yes, you are. Not just nowadays, always.

Hey LB
Just wondering what your using for Roach?
Love the adaptability of Roach to fit a cone etc. But, my lungs cant take the punishment so work with Rolls69 filters now. Also adaptable air flow by advancement and retraction to cool things.
What you fellow enthusiasts using?? Just a general community question....

i cant resist gving some skins trivia lol, Did YoU KnOW..? RAW and elements and juicy jays are all the same guys company, theres a great video on the history of RAW papers by J the owner/founder, makes you appreciate a guy who has a total passion for the best rolling papers he could possibly make, using 70 yo artisans to do the watermark on RAW papers. getting them made at the oldest rolling paper factory in the world in alcoy i think.
Didn't know this but delighted because I started using Raw Connisseurs (I think thats how you spell it?) about 2 years ago and now I hate rolling with anything else.
The 32 leaf pack comes with 32 perfect sized roaches and they just so the job perfectly in my opinion. Thanks for the trivia mate!

I find the raw skins dont really roll to a cone, they kinda fold into a cone, end up with a strange 20 sided shape joint lol, but i like a loose pack and a fast burn! So probably not an ideal skin for my rolling style, Zig zag blues or OCB hemps all the way!
FYI when i smoke blues, i fold, lick and tear about 6mm strip off the bottom of the skin, then roll. Ends up basicaly 1 papers thick all around the cone but the roach end, a nicer, less paperier smoke!
Anyone ever find smoking silvers that the paper burns to fast for the cherry, and you end up sucking half air half smoke through the roach, feels like you loosing half your joint? Just me maybe lol
(I can roll joints honest! 20years experience lol, i just like em loosey goosey)

Anyone ever find smoking silvers that the paper burns to fast for the cherry, and you end up sucking half air half smoke through the roach, feels like you loosing half your joint? Just me maybe lol

Running a moist tongue along the edge over from the gummy allows the gummy strip to be torn off. The ragged edge can be bonded to the rolled J and one may enjoy a gum free puff.
Roach and tightly pack the bottom which acts as a filter its self.
Cotton filters should be illegal as you are basically smoking cotton as the hot smoke oxidises it.
On a side not ive recently switched to a small glass water pipe and my lungs have never been better, fuck all this paper man.

Interested in trying out a small glass pipe aint you recommend mate wouldn't mind fucking tobacco off finally and same goes for smoking papers
Charcoal actitube slim filters, so much lighter on lungs, much tastier and hits you the same as normal joint.
I’ve been using those and purize which are similar.
Even the slimmest are fairly thick but they do make the smoke cleaner and tastier and I don’t feel like my lungs are going to collapse the next day!

Raw roach, I find filters take something away from the smoke.
What papers are you using mate?
What papers are you using mate?
yes but when im done and look at what they took out i'm not thinking that's shit i can't miss out on. as i finally have weed abundance (thanks biggas) i'm not thinking fuck i better make this last like i used to.
Use a variety. Rizla Micron or unbleached(real nice).
Currently using Cannaseurs extra long/ extra slim which have the +/-.
Next to try I have Raw Black

The best papers you could use, when you burn a paper on its own theres nothing left. I buy a 50 box at a time :)
Hi there, I’m currently using raw roach, someone was nice enough to buy me a shop box last Christmas and I’m still getting through them. I’m also a big fan of Quintessential hemp coated tips, I really like the booklets they make.
I have tried filterd joints out of curiosity but didn’t really enjoy it.
Raw are my go to paper, I like that it now that they so easily available in most UK news agents, definitely a step up from the blue rizla.

Oh yeah, it’s the way forward. These elements papers look nice, will have to give those a try.
For me I suggest forget any joint everyone should have a roor bong it's the only way to smoke! and much better on your lungs ,I personally ain't smoked a j for years, I remember going in the ganja museum and had picture of the human body and it said most healthy way to smoke weed is in a water pipe i.e BONG! Plus a good cherp sorts out the men from the boys! If you wanna invest in a smoking equipment forget vapes spend 300 quid on a proper bong
Deffo a cardboard roach for me, size appropriate to the chunkyness of mix ur putting in, i personally don't like my buds ground up to dust like it still chunky as a find when u get a good blast of a little bud you don't half know abt it, each to there own though
not sure what people mean by filter (an actual filter on a joint? never heard of it)... what I got used to do and find it difficult to do NOT do now is to use the tip of the cigarette (1cm max) as filter itself. He smokes lighter than a roach (smoother on your throat), but it taste better (get oily and if you the last puff is as good as the first)...
Raw roach or splinter Z vape for me bro. Couldn't justify using a filter that would be filtering my THC. You'll lose around 5-10% using those.
usually vape bro, but for blunts I use same shit :D only downside is price lol 10 quid for a pack.
I prefer the raw extra wide tips. I see you gave up tobacco. I was never a cigarette smoker and don't particularly like tobacco. I use a Real leaf herbal mix. Some of my friends can't stand it but I find it's not harsh on the throat like tobacco if you're a non-smoker. Each to their own I guess. Vaporise as well but it's hard to beat tight joint and I enjoy the process of skinning one up
lol same stuff with real leaf :D it's smells nice form the pack or when you smoke it yourself, but when my gf smokes it smells like burning plastic
I've used menthol filters when smoking for a long while. Back in the days I used a roach but that's too harsh for me as I'm getting on a bit. (Oh dear poor little me ha ha). I quite enjoy a J with menthol filters. BUT I hear menthol filters are being outlawed in England?? To stop younger people. Is that true or have I been told a fib?
No mate, only banning flavoured tobacco. Papers and filters are ok but can't be sold with tobacco included. A bit strange mind using them in spliffs haha but each to their own :).
I just throw in a roach of whatever is at hand (usually the skin packet) or the pre-cut stuff you get with skins

Is Growing Outdoor Worth It?
I have a nice spot in my garden and was thinking I could pick up a little extra coin this way. Is outdoor quality going to cut it around here?
Preparation is key start seedlings indoors pick a site that gets sun at least 8 hours or more make sure risk of frost has gone may onwards to plant out is a good bet if in UK.check out northern lights seeds by seedstockers great hardy strain and good price.
Don't use molasses to feed plants outside it will attract all the wild life and they will destroy your plants.lve learned this the hard way.
I've never understood if cannabis is a tropical plant or not. Theres all this Jamaican and Thai lore but then you have Northern Cali and Canada.
It's not a tropical plant as such, it's a weed. Just like nettles and shit. It doesn't really "belong" anywhere because weeds spread fast and will grow (to a point) anywhere. It's usage goes back thousands of years so it's been around long before the Americas had been discovered - it's earliest origins is probably Central Asia.
Defo worth it mate....
I live in east sussex and has really good luck a few years ago with a outdoor crops,got about 3oz a plant and didn't use anything just sunlight. Went to check on them once every two weeks so didn't take up any time. Just remember to raise them up indoors an use a mold resistance strain that doesn't require alot of up keep..
Good luck and would love to see a pick after your first grow

Raise them up indoors? Like sprout them then replant outside? Or once they get to flower bring them inside?
I think they mean germinate the seeds, then plant them inside, let the seedlings grow a bit before taking them outside instantly.
If you have unknown seeds, once they're more mature, I'd keep an eye out if there's any males, you wouldn't want them to pollinate your females and take away all that goodness!

Check on YouTube for a UK grower called Outdoor Warrior. That will answer your question mate :)
A couple of good strains perfect for guerilla growing in our climate are frisian duck and frisian dew, both by Dutch Passion seeds.

Get your seeds from real gorilla seeds and you will be fine. They're bullet proof plants developed by UK guerilla growers and tested in Northern latitudes.
About £6 for a feminised seed.

amazing! thanks for this! I think I checked out there site before but didn't realise they were from uk.
RGS are legends in the U.K. check out YouTube videos PANIK GROWS, that’s the legend behind RGSeeds.
Outdoor grows in the U.K. that look like it’s in Cali lol. They been doing it for over 15 years

Aw mate. all over this! thanks for sharing bud!! Not sure if the weather would have been suitable this year with all the rain (where I am) but next year i'm thinking of it for sure! love a bit of outdoor bud.
I do a small outdoor grow most years, use autoflowers, average something like 3 or 4 dry oz per plant, at 53 degrees north and 130 metres above sea level. Its easy till they start to flower, once the buds are there shake the dew of them every morning, sheet them down if its raining or misty. Never considered selling any though, just stay really baked until its all gone, save a fortune, definitely worth it, everything tastes better when you grow it yourself.
I hear you & totally agree, I have an amphetamine auto, white widow, gorilla glue and west coast og all thriving and frosting up nicely all outside growing naturally with basil,mint, coriander.peppermint and pepper as companion plants (all terps).
Couple of weeks left & I should get a nice Percy. Few photoperiods on the go as well, I hope to beat the weather. All natural all bless.
Is it best to harvest at night when all the terps are locked in? Just a thought

Do You use some nutrients for flowering, when growing outside?
I have 6 autos in my greenhouse, they are huge for autos. I think that's because they are in beds not pots.
They are 9 weeks in, I think 3-4 weeks left for flowering.
I started them in good soil mix already with nutes in it.
And I haven't added any nutes through out the grow.
Do You think it would be a good idea to add some nutes for flovering?

Little project we have at the minute, the picture is like a stoners wheres wally haha. Done completely as a hobby, none of this will ever make our LB menu lol
The buds will be loose a fuck mate, not compact in the slightest, zero bag appeal lol. First time iv done this as well, way harder than growing indoors!! Shit load of thricomes on the autos though, the photos are due to start pistolling soon i reckon :)

Good luck with it all pal, looks can be deceiving it’s a shame outside isn’t appreciated like it should be. Real sunlight is underestimated and undervalued, I suppose it’s all about the bag appeal and crazy thc levels
Cheers mate, yeah could have the highest THC level going, but if it doesnt look the part its not gonna sell! Even though it all goes in the grinder, theres no reasoning with a lot of people lol :)
Thats a lot of green!! Looking at some outdoor options myself this year so any advise would be appreciated.
Its addictive as fuck mate, you've got to have the time though and it takes a shit load of time, especially getting started.
Choosing a good spot is vital. Theres a lot to factor in such as the logistics, chances of being rumbled, the quality of the soil if growing in the ground, the amount of direct sunlight they will be getting, wildlife, water sources etc.
Unless you find good nitrogen rich soil (nettles are a good indicator) id suggest growing in pots. Buy seeds that are suitable for our climate, we used Dutch Passions Frisian Dew/Duck, Sour Diesel, Durban Poison and a couple of others i cant remember now. Dutch passion is a good choice of seedbank though.
Start the seedlings off indoors around March and veg as much as you can indoors before taking them outside.
Canna Nutrients/Advanced Nutrients are always a good choice, or you can just grow organically, you will defo notice the difference though.
Like i say, once you start its really addictive. We started off with loads of enthusiasm but had to scale back halfway through due to other commitments. If you go on YouTube and watch the likes of UK Field Ninja and a few others you can get a feel of what is possible.
Dont listen to what people say, theres massive potential for outdoor growing if you put the graft in and do it right mate. Its a myth that outdoor stuff isnt potent as well, the Frisian Dew and Durban blew our heads off, and after a good cure it smelt just as good as indoor. Granted it well never have the same bag appeal as good indoor stuff, but if its for personal consumption it will definitely do the trick.
Theres a shit load of stuff iv not touched on cos i could be typing all night, but if you want to know anything just give us a shout and we will help if we can :)

Seeing these and your post above is the final push I needed to do a bit of wild growing this year! :D
cheers for sharing mate
cheers for sharing mate
Get it done mate. YouTube videos help. It's all trial and error on your first but the next year is when you'll get everything spot on. Just pick your spot wisely!!
Germinate and veg indoors for a few weeks if you can, then transfer outside early/mid april. Different strains have different harvest times, late september is a good rough estimate though :)
Auto end of May, after the last frost, ready for end of Aug, would be easy for first timer. Now is ideal time of Year to explore, for a site.
Wow thats awesome!
Whats the odour like on the strains you grow outside doing the last few weeks?
Whats the odour like on the strains you grow outside doing the last few weeks?
Absolutely stinking mate. That's why the spot you pick has to be waaaaaaaa off anywhere anyone would pass. Only things about where I was were wildlife
Great information mate. The soil around my area is pretty bad so will definitely look at using pots. I’m sure I’ll be in touch if I start struggling mate.
I suspect that as long as the price is in line with the quality there would be no issues. You could also turn it into some edibles or vape juice if you were worried about the compition on indoor grown bud.
Should we get this thread up and running again in anticipation for spring?
Who's trying it this year? Been up the British mix on guerilla seeds for a while now. Anyone have experience with them?

One of my favourite sayings comes to mind.. "Better to be looking at them, than looking for them" ;) If I had the private space I would def give it a go. Ive had many successful yields, nothing to strong but sawl good....
Not on here mate unless selling dirt cheap. Pardon the pun. They call that bush weed for a reason. The light and feed / Ph is the main parts of growing to get max potency.
The natural way is too inferior in these climates sadly.

Outside all the way but not in uk , one of the best smokes I get every year is from Thailand it's all grown outside and if you know the right people and ask for whore ..lol.. you'll get proper bud not brickweed, my point is the right seeds ,climate and conditions will always win any battle , thai weed is strainless just the deep green and smell will make you realise why it should be grown outside
When i first read the topic, i was a bit puzzled.
Depends on where you live, climate, etc. But i think it is worth it anyways.
My 5 cents:
My opinion, and i am quite radical, is that the indoor growing should totally be cancelled.
I surely understand need and function of the indoor growing in the current mad world where nature is brutally 'illegalised', but plants that have never been kissed by the sun just don't cut it for me somehow.
Good luck with the grow brother.

Good coffeeshops in Amsterdam
Hello everyone,
I am visiting Amsterdam in a couple of weeks and wanted to ask for some coffeshop-recommendations. Is there a special one? Or are they all the same? :)

My ex was dutch and I've been there too many times to remember, 420 cafe mate it's got boom bud and its not as loud and cheesy as most of them, used to be cat that always attacked me, probably it's dead now, but yeah 420 cafe for me cant beat it, it used to be a pub, sitting at the bar with their bong is where you wanna be , also I forget the name but get a train to Rotterdam head for the bilderberg hotel , has no seats but the smoke is next level , plus it's good to get out of Amsterdam Rotterdam in my opinion is a better city just not as many coffee shops
Awesome recommendation! However bear in mind they have 2 shops. I would recommend visiting the original one on Singel, previously known as the Dutch Flowers. All product is the same, but the shop itself is in a quieter area and a much nicer place to sit and enjoy your smokes! It's been a family favourite for 3 generations now!
I always liked Maastricht more than Amsterdam, a lot of the coffee shops are on barges and it's a nice city to explore without being bothered by street level dodgy boiis. Have a great trip OP and if you like chocolate milk then deffo get yourself some Chocomel (it's in a yellow bottle/can and it's the tits).
Is it a decent town mate? Desperate to go back but wouldn't go to Dam again. Had a look at Utrecht but Maastricht was always a bit of an ambition in those 3 trips a year days!
Yeah wouldn't mind a wander over the border either. Cheers matey definitely interested will bear it in mind
+1 this. Always used to buy the 5g deals of it and it was the best smoke ever. Sadly not seen it for a couple of years on my many visits now :( so i think they must have lost that supply sadly.
Agreed mate! Had a true Strawberry Haze there too which was different to seed versions commonly available. Claimed to be 100% sativa (cant confirm or refute the genetics ) but fuck me i walked out with eyes lile id be on disco biscuits lol and set me up for a great afternoon walk ill tell you that. Best thing about Kadinskys is that great window open wide, just watching the world go by. Spent many an hour in that window as a solo smoker and is awesome for some people watching where you see some very interesting lol things

That sounds like an awesome Amsterdam moment, there’s some special stuff to be found in the right places. I bet those Dutch growers have some amazing cuts.
But oh man, those window seats are the best, reading that took me back there for a moment... ahh, good times, can’t wait for summer.

I'm new to this site, found it because I haven't been able to get any smoke for nearly a year. A while back I took a day trip to Amsterdam simply because I was suffering badly. I done my homework before going, the place that all the locals use is a shop called Boerejongens. It isn't a cafe as you can't sit and smoke your weed in the shop. It has a stocked range of high grade cannabis and has a wide selection of Amsterdam genetic weed. I went to a few places, but Boerejongens was a grade above.
Haven't been for about 10 years after being an every couple of month visitor. My all time go-to has always been Grey Area - in Singel. Can be a mission to find but for me the original standard for what was in Dam. Green Place has also been mentioned is a chill and good menu (think I recall Batman @ €22!!!!!) not like the old days of €20 for a 3.5...Abraxas I love, and get into Spuistraat some nice little places there inc. Kadinsky. Enjoy.
For bud quality and top smokes head to Borenjongens. Borenjongens have changed the game in Amsterdam massively with their own Amsterdam Genetics. Their coffee shops are always rammed so best to buy your smokes and head somewhere else to smoke.
Other good places for product is Grey Area and Barneys. Barneys is a good place to smoke.
I would then take your weed and head to Amnesia personally though. Proper chilled vibes in there. Tweede Kramer and Kandinsky are great too.

Here are a couple of impressions from my Amsterdam trip. Maybe they will be of help.to future travelers.
Kadinsky - cozy atmosphere, lovely view out of the front windows, sits at the front windows. "Big Buddha Cheese", "AK47" and "Gelato" - all had a nice quality to them and were easy and enjoyable to smoke. The chosen music was not always to my taste, but they also played some nice jazzy or soul tracks. I also tried the space cake there - it really glued me down to the sit. All in all it was my favourite
Easy Times - clublike atmosphere, even with a DJ, the stuff seemed stressed and it was really crowded. I couldnt really harmonize with the vibes of the place. They have a good selection of weed. "Tangerine cookies" - really nice smoke!
1ehulp - orientally stylized. Was full, when I came the first day. On the second day I got in. There are three levels and a couple of small alcoves... For me the place felt a kind of narrow, but it might have been the effect of the herbs... "Gorilla Skittlez"... Bought and rolled, hadnt tried, yet. They have moon rocks. But you have to walk a bit to get there.
Paradox - it felt like a student coffee shop (not in a bad way) The prices are cheaper compared to other places. The stuff is nice and friendly. It was the coffee shop with the most light...
And I was told that they are famous for their space cake (1gr in each slice). I got some, but hadnt tried it yet.
Hans Brinker Hostel - cheaper way to spend the night in a bed than in a hotel. Breakfast is included and was good.
They have a bar and a club. The rooms have been clean. I think especially for groups who can book a whole room with 6 or 8 beds for themselves it is a good place to stay.
Thanks for.all the advices! Cheers to everybody! :-)

I had the opportunity to smoke some excellent local stuff from Grey Area as well as fire Jungle Boy's materials at the Green Place.
1e HULP always got quality hash and buds, too.

Grey area was good it’s small and gets super busy and we happened upon a cafe called flower power, we brought these chocolate Bon Bons they were so thick and chocolaty but when you opened them up they were bright green, the guy who sold it to us was like just eat half, don’t eat a whole one and see how you get on. Me in my infinite wisdom thought fuck that I will be fine and ate the whole thing and woke up the next morning with recollection of the night before, my wife said I’d just passed out. Twat on tour but there we go I got excited I’d never been to Amsterdam before. Have a fucking awesome time.
Haha :-) I will be carefull with the amount of chocolate bonbons I eat. Dont wont to completely pass out somewhere...
The grey area is good but I love the stud and Ibiza they bit out of the way but so worth it. The stud dose €5,€10,€20 deals really good stuff and ibiza has some real out of this world type stuff.
Some are more up market than others. Some have higher prices in the more tourist areas. I had the best sativa ever there. We were there again recently. Such a great city in general. I felt safe there and had great experiences wandering about till 4am. Glasgow is much more dangerous at night. Just don't get too wasted
And be careful if you try anything in a smart shop. Some of that stuff is very strong.

Been a while, but I was very impressed with Greenhouse Koffeeshop in the 'dam (it's one of the most well known ones and was friendly). Very good quality menu. Had some Organic Trainwreck there that was amazing, even though I'm usually more of an Indica fan.
Not every Koffeeshop in the Dam is quality. Some sell crap, surprisingly. Others are weirdly hostile to foreigners. Seek out the good ones - there are loads.
Good luck, it's a pretty awesome place.

1E Hulp and Green Place are 2 of the best Smokeys and Bulldogs are shit but plenty of other great ones too.
Haarlem and Zandoort are also worth a short trip on the train from Amsterdam loads of great Coffeeshops there too and bit quieter and cheaper.

I am there only for a weekend... So unfortunately there will be no time for trips to other cities... But thank you for the recommendations! 1E Hulp seems to have a good reputation.
Yes theres another Coffee Shop with like a Rasta theme right near there that's really good too cant actually remember the name.
Definitely 1eHulp, always have a great selection of quality bud for average prices of €6-€14.
And oh man their edibles taste so good.
Too good infact, it'll make you want to eat 4 slices of their cake in one sitting! (p.s do NOT eat 4 slices in a sesh)

1eHulp great for local prices, bit out of the way but worth it. Dampkring always a great way to smoke away a few hours.
That's a shame but your defo have fun mate. I got stuck in a gin house my last time there it's in on of the side streets from the bulldog the red light district one lol it's the oldest gin house in the world check it out if you can.
Visit Katsu Coffeeshop, its close to De Pijp station on the metro. Its a small hidden gem a bit out of the center but close distance like 10min by metro. Absolutely love the vibes there, prices are alright and the quality of the weed is really good too. Also they have a toilet for which they dont charge like other ones lol. I suggest to visit definitely and leave high from there at least once and try to find your way around xd good luck!
Agreed. I went posh and paid silly per gram for some king hassan black 2. Made the mistake of flaming it to locals amusement, and 2 grams literally just bubbled and splatted on the skins within a second of flaming it. What a smoke.
De pipj is amazing. Its where i stay when i used to go. Venture further south, about 750 km from katsu on the main vessel road and and tiny outlets on sidestreets have the best widow ive ever had, a shame i cant remember the name, but it was fitted like a chinese takeaway, no seats, a counter, menu, cheers. My tolerances are fine and could get through a henry of anything on here daily, but 1 joint of that widow was properly whitey brutal class A.

Yep! I’m sure I had the same white widow you had! One spliff
Knock me out cold! So strong I couldn’t stay awake to enjoy it! Had to move onto purple haze not half as strong but I could at least function! Lol

The first place I tried in Amsterdam was a little place opposite Vondel Park simply called Vondel.
It was a nice reintroduction to weed for me after years without it.
I honestly can't remember prices but I thought the atmosphere was nicely chilled and the clientele mainly seemed to be local students.
If you're hungry Vegan Junk Food is incredible!

Hey, if you fancy getting away from the tourist areas try the Westerpark district.
A couple of really nice Coffee shops in that area, first is Coffeeshop Chaputeau, it’s just a walk in service but the prices are insanely good, quality of the smoke is high and there always a line of friendly locals to chat to.
A couple of streets away from that is a Moroccan coffee shop called Coffeeshop Freedom (this one has seats),small but high quality menu and the hash is top class. Again mostly full of friendly of locals, highly recommend.
Plenty of nice restaurants in the area too. Well worth it if you fancy a break from the chaos.

The plug is always a great stop, not to far from Dam square and has a great choice of Cali buds.
Not sure when was posted I am New to lb. If you have already been I hope you had a great time I absolutely love the place. My favourite is coffee shop jonny. Only 2 seats or something so pay and go place. Just a mention for voyagers personally never had any issue at this place always first stop because of proximity to central station.
You will find a special one just wander and get lost in the magic. They are all different in vibe, products, prices, etc.

Cool! Thanks for all the recommended coffeeshops. I have to make a plan to visit a couple of them and not get stuck in the first one :)
Katsu in the de pijp area, a lot of locals use it. Lovely wee place,.great atmosphere and some great weed and hash.
My trip to Katsu was ruined by a group of loud London teens/early 20s. Shame. But the market was worth the walk :)
That's a shame, last time I was there a group of French students were in. They were quite loud as well, I was sitting at the bar rolling when they ordered a half and half joint. 20 minutes later they bought a full strength one. 15 minutes later? Uncontrollable giggling lol. I may well be slightly biased as I fell for the lassie tender, lovely hazel eyes
I sat outside and enjoyed a hot chocolate in the cold February air. It was nice apart from the noisy lads yelling about their "Zoots" haha
Bluebird was always good and some nice blue cheese, Voyagers had some really nice Rollex OG and if u fancy a little walk we found a nice 1 called Katsu.
Enjoy

Coffeeshop La Tertulia is a great little spot. Very chill with lots of pot plants and right next to a canal.
It's not exactly central but if you get a bit lost, or fancy exploring, down in the South-East is Coffeeshop Stud, on Molukenstraat. Very relaxed, locals only, good selection, great prices. God I love Amsterdam...
Grasshopper is nice. Its definitely a tourist coffeeshop since it's right opposite Centraal Station, so the weed isn't the best, but I love sitting out on their terrace on an afternoon just people watching/canal watching :)

A Jew and a Scotsman have dinner.
Beautifully crafted hahaha
A Jew and a Scotsman have dinner.
At the end of the dinner the Scotsman is heard to say, ‘I’ll pay.’ The newspaper headline next morning says, ‘Jewish ventriloquist found dead in alley.’

I say this with both Jewish and Scottish blood (i'm a mongrel). We're tight as a fish's arse.

Just wondered how many of you blggers use a secure browser such as Tor? It adds a few seconds to everything, and you have to manually change the 'ships to' tab because the site thinks you are in another country , but it's a bit more peace of mind.
Same, I’m so lame with technology! I know how to order weed and watch porn but thats about it
No need but if it makes you comfortable do it, as long as this place only sells weed it's safe!! I use VPN but most of the time forget turn on , if your on empire or something then yes but that's more for the other dodgy fuckers using it, not the cops! I've never read or heard of any online dealers getting busted here it's all about the opioids anyway not weed. But use what makes you comfortable
Anyone finding load times way longer than usual?
Site is sloooowwwww compared to few months back when I last logged in
Have tried various locations/browsers/devices

No, even if I don't live in a legal state I think that no body is interested in catching a weed smoker like me. Just a waste of time, resources and money from the gov ;)
That’s it, we only smoking and bit of herb n that

Tor + VPN (expressvpn) to hide ISP from seeing you on TOR.

You can get "GPG Keychain" app for your Mac.
For windows get "GnuPG"
Basically once you download and create your own public and private key, you can give people your public key and they can encrypt messages that only you can open. In return you can add all the public keys of your friends to your keychain and when you send them a message you can encrypt it with their public key so that only they can read it.
You type your message
Highlight and choose to encrypt
Choose which Public key to encrypt
Then copy and past it and send it and done.
Let me know if there are anymore questions.

One of the joys of biggie is no sloooooow tor.
I do use Tor for access to other markets as I buy elsewhere too, but on biggy I'm browsing in chrome :)
If you are concerned about security, use Tor. Definately use a VPN though.
I'm not even remotely concerned about anyone trying to snag me, no one wants to do an online investigation to bust an old hippy and his wife for smoking too much weed each week, anyone probing this place is after bigger fish imo.

Nord VPN is good. 5er a month if you get a years plan. If you get a 3year plan then it's only 2 quid a month

Has anyone got this before when tracking their item-
We’ve received a request not to deliver mail to the property your item is addressed to today. We'll attempt delivery as per the instructions we’ve received, which is usually on the next working day.
Wondering why they didnt post this time ?

the postie either had too much stuff in his bag or could not be arsed today for some reason.
I found this on RM website-
Retention Item - Some business addresses have a Retention Service to cover days when they’re not open. We won’t deliver to them on these days. Instead, we’ll hold on to the item and deliver on the next working day, or according to the business’ instructions.
Not a business address so cant be that.

Dont know whether to collect or see if it still gets delivered.
Also so i read somewhere someone at RM couldve scanned it wrong (as a buisness address)

Dont know how long ago this was posted, hopefully your sorted by now but this can also happen when the postie cant get access....this happened to a pal of mine a while back (legal post lol) because he kept his dog in the front garden so the postie wouldnt go in there.
Posted today, the only thing i can think of is it was scanned as business address will call customer service see what they say
Hopefully u get sorted soon bro....sounds like an honest mistake....if the old bill got involved they wouldnt hold the post back, theyd let u receive and watch till they can make a big bust so I dont think you'll have any worries there. Just RM bein cunts lol
After an hour on phone waiting for customer service! The cs said it had left and the postman took it back to depot for some reason could not figure out why(her guess was something to with address) so in the end i rebooked delivery for monday hopefully it should arrive then.
Cant believe it the women left early on friday without booking re delivery had to it again today and meant to be comin wednesday ,all because the postman didnt leave a "we missed you card"
I dont get it none of the standard delivery has any problems but the delivery options that cost money have issues
No fear ..I said this yesterday the pigs dont matter it's only weed if you've been inside or nicked lots you will know not to5 worry I offer my words out of Years of experience dealing with them, I'm waiting half thats late now ..been nicked for weed and other shit more times than I can remember I'm still here ..lol.. end of the day boyz and grilz buy the ticket take the ride
I went in to get a tracked item that for some reason wasn't been delivered, police ended up been called mate don't go in.
What happens to the item if no one picks it up?? Becuse theres no return address so wth do they do with it?
Man i’m having the same issue today. Its been always delivered but this time i got the sign required paper. I always write an ex tenants name in my addresses, just to not leave a proof, so i have no id either. I have booked a redelivery on monday, i’ll tell the postman that she entered this address by mistake and asked me if i can pick it up for her. Don’t know what happens to the item if its not delivered though. So annoying

Anyone able to post a picture of this as I’ve order some just wanna know what I’m expecting

Mate it's sound as a pound, can't get better value. I'm a long term grower/consumer hehe not fussed about brand names etc and this is my go to these days...yknow once youve ground it up it looks the same as any bud lol.... Sometimes there's a few wee seeds in it but cannae complain at the price eh. Dont worry you'll not be disappointed!!
Thanks man I’m in the same as in long term smoker going to start my first grow soon thinking of starting with an autoflower and tips?
General tips:
Don't overwather (if you are growing in soil), don't over feed, keep an eye on temperatures, rH, pH and be ready to have a lot of patience =)
And teach yourself about LST (low stress training) and HST (high stress training) to achieve a better yield.

Nice one for commenting on that and yeah your fucking spot on with everything you have said for sure. Have an awesome weekend.
I don't have any picture but it's a good deal (price / quality), sometimes you can find a few seeds, but the quality is good.
(I've planted some seeds found in this dust shake, but after 4-5 weeks all turned to be male plants ahah)

Yeah I’m sure man,I went to Spain this summer and my Dad got me and my partner some smoke, which turned out to be shake, which of course was absolutely fine, yeah it looked like shit, but fuck we were baked all holiday, of course it’s always nice to look at a nicely cured bud for all of a second, but at the end of the day, as long as it works for my inflammation and depression I’m happy. Good luck with the grow man, you will be so proud of yourself once you get going.
Hasn’t arrived not sure if the post office have it or it’s just Christmas delay but never had any problem with RB so should be turning up in the next day or two
Let us know what you think when it turns up, no doubt, it’s Christmas post, I have to say RB is extremely reliable and good quality, I am going going to grab some of this next week myself, so was also intrigued.
It arrived this morning thank god always excellent stealth with RB smoke is good as he said once you grind it looks like any bud few little buds aswel can’t complain for the price
I had some of this the other day, mostly sugar leaves mixed with small buds and a few stalks
smelt like a mix of cheese/lemon
very dry, does the job nicely this one good for the money
