Personally I have never crossed a border with anything , always work on Risk vs reward ! I do have a few friends who have and one let’s say plugged on the way back from India , landed at Heathrow and as he was walking through customs felt something pop out literally standing in customs ! Luckily he had tight pants on and was fine but a risky move!

It’s one 0.5 ml cart I take bro to use sparingly! I wonder what the consequences for such a large haul lol

I take carts in my check in luggage either a wash bag or a shoe lol more recently to Romania I know it’s not turkey but the laws are pretty strict out there . Id say it’s always a risk trying to get illegal stuff across borders so it’s just if you feel like taking a risk but how much trouble can you get in for 1 cart🤷‍♂️hopefully il never find out cause I’m definitely not going anywhere sober😂😮‍💨

Yeah fuck it I’ll take one THC cart and one legal CBD its box as an insurance policy 😁🤞

I’m too much of a pussy to take anything anywhere tbh. Took hash back from Amsterdam when I was young but I’d never do that now. In saying that, while in Turkey I met a mental Glaswegian guy in our hotel who just stuck a lump of soapbar in his wife’s toiletry bag (she was NOT pleased). Says he does it all the time. Not recommending that like but apparently it can be done.
He also left me a Q of it as he was leaving, thanks mental weegie man.

Legend for leaving you some but not sure about him dropping soap bar in his wife’s toiletries 😂😂😂

Hi, we went last year. I would not bother TBH. They swab at ever other person looking for any sign of drugs. we were just checked on the way home, but we saw them doing it on the way in as well.

Yeah, I’ve had this. African countries will swab you if you look ‘interesting’ so I would imagine Turkey will be along similar lines. I was swabbed in Uganda but luckily I’d had a cleanse break from indulging for a few months prior. I wouldn’t like to imagine the bother you’d get in if caught, imo not worth the risks but each to their own….

Hey man! Swabbed every other persons luggage or carry on?

Carry on, I even disinfected my wallet before we went I was so paranoid about it 😃

You took a cart in hand luggage to Turkey Nick?

brought edibles in luggage with 0 problems. mixed in with candies and vitamins.

Cheers dude! Out of interest did you take edibles as not to risk something like cart?

i don't love carts but my friend has done the same exact same thing with carts to japan.

enjoy your holiday bigga ;)

Great photo!💥🤩

Cheers dude! I was testing out a new diffuser :)

If they ever do a ‘Love Song To The Cannabis Nug’ display at the Tate buddy, you are a shoe-in! 😉👍

😂😂😂

Didn’t need to even turn my phone upside down polly lol 😂

Hang on…what’s the right way up on a nug?!

fair point does it matter when your boffing it 🤷‍♂️

(Apologies in advance lol 😂)

Dude is way out of my league

Sexy shot mate!

Think I’ve had this one, tbh all Riley’s smokes have been banging.

5/10 doesn’t add up to me at all 🤔

Just saw this mate not surr when it was posted. Absolute legend with the photography skills here!
We have a new batch in currently too and it is smoking incredibly sweet.

Thanks for taking time to post this and saluting some real fine UK flower 😎
Rp ✌️

Woooowoow! great pic
Mmmmhmm cherry sherbet🤤

That is indeed top shelf weed porn right there 🥰😍

I got a tester as I’m a sucker for cheery strains 😋 100% agree with said assessment 😮‍💨

I can’t stop looking at the bud tho. Best review photo I’ve seen that’s the right way up.

Fresh and final drop is here! Don’t miss out guys if you’ve not had the chance to try her yet ✌️🙌
7/7

Is it the sticky icky bit I had mate? Just commented thinking this was the stickiest I’ve had for a while

Absolute lush this was 🤤🤤

Na this one dropped literally yesterday!

Fuccxxxk.

The freshest of the fresh 😜

A drop or two of RSO in a Horlicks for me. Very restful.

When do you have it mate timing wise and what would you consider a drop?

Something kind of lentil sized works for me, about an hour before bed. Good for 6 hours I find.

What you seem to be describing is anxiety/nerves keeping you awake. If you are feeling anxious then smoking or consuming anything too high grade may not help as it can intensify any anxiety. Any strong edibles or concentrates will make you pretty high for a few hours and not sleepy for quite a while - or at least that's how it is for me. Try consuming a brownie or similar earlier in the afternoon then having a smoke of something with more balanced cbd-thc, not too strong. Watch a film or better read a book and it usually distracts your mind enough for the drugs and your bodys natural clock to take control of your eye lids. It's hard but try to avoid thinking about the event. Train your mind slowly. I've suffered a lot with anxiety and keeping busy, as in active physically and mentally throughout the day and setting out a chill out routine with distractions for the evening works for me. If you can try to have less intoxicants on the night before the event as they don't see you through the night and the minute your levels and blood sugars change you become easily woken and restless and your worried mind takes over. Failing that there are prescription meds of various forms that if taken on a very infrequent basis may not have a downside or any addiction issues but it's not my first choice. Although I have tried this route and it did work even when I was totally frantic with anxiety. Sorry for the long post but sleep has been an issue all my life and the reason I fell in love with Mary Jane. Hope you get it nailed. I've found not giving a shit about anything much these days helps too ; -) Peace.

You are so right about the booze. I’m a drinker and know that the 4-5am slot is known as “the drinker’s hour” as your blood sugar level drops and your heart race increases. A bag of M&M’s at bedtime could help a bit in the old days, but now I rarely drink after 8pm.
Low dose (0.25mg) Xanax is brilliant for night time anxiety and if I take at least 4 hours before I need to get up then I feel very refreshed in the mornings. The problem with Xanax is the speed at which you build up tolerance but if you limit it to once or twice a week it’s great imo, and just knowing that you’ve got it in reserve relieves anxiety on its own!

Hey, this probably sounds really boring compared to finding an awesome new strain haha but have you tried out any CBD products?
I know someone who gets the pre match nerves thing but increasing CBD intake really seems to help calm it all down. Good luck in finding something man.

I’ll second giving this a go- the wife has seen the benefit of CBD for her sleeping and, while I like my THC, when I pinch one of her sweets I notice the difference the next day

I’ll grab some and try it man, totally open to all suggestions.

Great question.
I think part of the problem is we all experience products in different ways. For example I was told RSO is great for sleep but it has the opposite effect on me. Edibles generally buzz me up, as do a lot of hazes etc.
That leaves indicas and through many many strains tried when I find one that seems to deliver a great nights sleep I’ll have it another time and not so much. The 100% indicas like Hindu Kush & Heirloom OG work best for me, but interested in what other Biggas think….

Yeah I’m an indica guy and Super Hans Hindu Kush was lovely for relaxing and then sleeping. Hashisins Afghan is equally as good.

Big UP 👍 to both of those!

Yeah edibles can have an adverse effect on me too lol Researching this a bit and Grandaddy Purps seem to come up an awful lot.

Sounds like you might put too much pressure on yourself to perform well maybe? I have struggled with that over the years - I simply don't want to let myself down or other people. It's just down to the values you have as a person. Keep up with the exercise though it has always helped me get some quality sleep.

Weed recommendation: RB was doing some cheap Kerosene Krash about a month ago and really hit the spot for me before bed. 80% Indica. I'd be falling asleep before I was actually trying. I find sativas late evening are just too much of a head buzz and my mind doesn't settle down.

I have also experimented with CBD - pre made eliquids, homemade carts from cbd extracts and I have tried some cbd weed on here but I found it to have no effect on my sleep at all.

I hope you find something that works for you from all of these suggestions on here though buddy

You’re absolutely right brother, wayyy too much pressure on myself and then runs into worrying about how much sleep I get to aid my performance the next day! I’ll keep plugging away at a decent solution, thanks for taking the time man 🤙🏼

RSO works wonders for me. I can usually fall asleep fine, but, especially if dealing with work stress, often wake up 4,5 or 6 am with a racing mind and can't get back to sleep. RSO (I use the one sold by Drugs Inc UK) consistently gives me around 9-10 hours of decent sleep each time I use it. It does hang around (pleasantly so) the following morning though, so not great if you need to function.

My other - non cannabis - trick is a long soak in a bath with magnesium flakes (zechstein are the best) before bed.

Magnesium is excellent as a sleep aid, and if you add some decent bath oils designed for relaxation (Olverum is lovely, and Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax always knocks me out) then sleep comes easy. Even just a few drops of Clary Sage essential oil in a bath or on your pillow can help - its great to calm down anxiety/stress etc.

Hope some of that helps - poor sleep is a horrible thing. Good luck!

What lovely advice, thanks for taking the time 🙏

purple afghan kush, was zen like.

Grab any concentrate from the likes of ULC or Canadian imports take a couple of nice dabs on the device of choice, pick something you like the flavour of and don't worry about indica/sativa stuff

I find using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pzizz.android

Something like pzizz on headphones is amazing for helping me sleep, I only use the free version and only need it now occasionally but it made a massive difference in my ability to switch off from the next day

Hope this helps 👍

Cheers man, I’ve got a nice little dab rig so will give this a whirl 😁

Good luck 👍 my earlier solution to this issue was to imagine the colour blue and make a wheeeeeeeeee sound in my head to stop me thinking but that isn't as effective as pzizz and makes me sound a smidge 🤪

Why doesn’t that work for me? 🥲
(I have those concentrates and a white noise generator! )
🦊⚡️🐰

Pzizz isn't a white noise generator, I have honestly tried all sorts and this is the one that worked for me

For me it's got the perfect balance of attention/ not attention needed for me to fall asleep, I suspect it's not gonna be the same for everyone but as previously stated dear 🦊 enough concentrate and my comfy cans on and ☁️🐰💤

Live Test:10pm
-2 x dabs ULC Mimosa Wax 🤤 on dab pen you are VERY familiar with👍
- currently dancing to Pzizz…
- unlikely to stop any time soon…Friday?
- non of this is bad, quite the opposite, unless sleep required!
🦊⚡️🐰

It does help to be in bed lying down 😂🤷🏻

Just gettin’ this party started! 🥳⚡️🤩

I like to get some of The Goods CBD shatter which is made in Italy which has some proper terpenes (I’ve got a Brexit one which has the Trainwreck strain and another couch lock strain) they are very cheap online with lots of different flavours and consistencies from Other brands too 😋

I have some of that in the Puffco Peak Pro or Puffco Proxy electronic dab devices on its own or I mix that with another concentrate from on here 😊

I either have the CBD shatter on its own or mix in some other concentrate from here just before bed and that works well and saves your concentrate and money as you are using less of the proper one 😊

a light edible dose also works well or a bit or RSO is also great and its all about trialing different methods to see what works for you 😊

Also there are lots of amino acids that you can buy on Amazon such as L-Theanine, L-Tryptophan and others which help with sleep and also with racing thoughts and stress which prevents sleep 😊 I also practice mindfulness too which is great for clearing the mind for better sleep 💤

I thought you just buy an indica. No need to complicate

I think it's probably more complex than that man and besides the whole Sativa v Indica is always in question anyway!

have you tried hops tea or hops extract? melatonin might work?

I tried Pukka Night Time tea, it didn’t do much but is that the same kinda thing?

probobly, herbal sleepy stuff, you want the good stuff, have a read about melatonin pills, not sure if they are still legal.

It’s not illegal You can get melatonin over the counter. It does help but not for continuous use

Did anything you tried work Carverr?

Ask me again next week mate, I’ve got some events coming up this weekend which will rattle me the night before lol I’m going for smoking some Grand Daddy purps and a couple of dabs of concentrate an hour or so before bed! 🤞 (With added Pzizz lol)

Okay! Sounds like you have a plan. I hope the thing you have coming up goes well ♡ gotta love that grandaddy purp!

I love hash sandwiches, I have a load of strain combinations 😍…the Mighty is great for them and I build them in dosing capsules. I’m going to take your advice though and try some shatter- that sounds great.

Basically though, once you take flower, concentrate and a little Keif, you have created a Moonrock!…try putting a Moonrock in the Mighty and prepare for lift off! 💥☄️🚀

Ha ha ha

Remember the names we gave them lol 😂

I love a sandwich 🥪

Polly is right on the money with his concoction.

When I get a new bit of hash. I take a bit off roll it up and put in the keif trap of the grinder. I end up with a fair few and every now and then. Press roll and repeat.

The fun part is it’s a total fucking guess what hash is what add in some green. Wrong hash with wrong green and a wake & bake can end good/bad

What ever way you look at it 💨😮‍💨👌

Dazz mate love it! Wake n bake can end good or bad 🤣🙏

I've got to try that moonrock mix!

Haha! Yup I’ve rolled balls of shatter in Keif and sling the in the middle of flower too man, great combo! I’m 100% going for hash next, I always thought it wouldn’t vape so well! It’s good to be wrong though! 😁👊🏻

The ‘melts’ and sguidgy blacks work easy, harder hashes need to be teased with a lighter before building the sandwich, but yep hash works great when you crank up the temp👍

Hash hash hash

Would feel like a waste with other concentrates but that's just me 🤷‍♂️

Love a lil hash sandwich in the dyna, tend to aim for a higher temp since that works best with the hash 👌

Oh the dyna is top of the pops for hash in the bubbler but hash wise I’m now switching between the dyna & glass and Camouflet which for hash is excellent. Just can’t do a bud hash sandwich is the two.

Ooooh…”Camouflet”….get you posh boy! 😛

Lol 😂

Easy vapman

🤣

Shatter works really well, I hold it between my thumb and finger until it’s really thin and about the same circumference as a Mighty dosing capsule and it vapes for ages with decent clouds too ✌🏻 Think I’ll try some hash though, used to love it back in my younger years! Fluffy Lebanese and Squidgy black.

to my dear merchants that aren't up on thangs

theres a lot more on the table than this though, if you'd like help come in to my office anytime.

Yup, it’s been a long time😢…Smoggyman (although he wasn’t a grower) also sorely missed by me…

The next harvest from Druids Magic will appear around November, easily in the same league 👍😻

Sweet! I’ll look out for Druids Magic then! 😁

Agreed. I managed to get some of Budbotanist's offerings which I recall as being TT too.
Got some bubble hash off Bubble Hash Kings when they were listing which I loved. Ohhhh how I miss them all.

Can't wait for DM!! 🧙‍♂️

I remember well. That Snowball was amazing. I remember another one he did but can't remember the name now. Hope he'll be back with some bits now and then.

Fruit Pebbles x Cheese?….🔥👍🥰

Yes!! That's the one.

You know what?..I still have a couple of nugs of that in the ‘Special Event’ section of The Shelf 🥳👍

Why the fuck were you using Coinbase for anyways? There’s a tonne of exchanges out there that arn’t the governments bitch and tool for spying, Coinbase is and always has been the anti thesis of crypto currency. Also you should have been buying BTC on there and sending to a wallet like Exodus trust wallet etc and sending to the vendor from there, don’t send directly from the exchange to protect all parties.

Ignorance is bliss man.

Yeah man I feel that, at least now you know, like I say make sure you buy wherever you want but always send to a wallet and send to the seller from that, saves a lot of hassle down the road for everyone.

Exodus is a beauty 👌🏼

Try Revolut

Cheers brother, I’ll have a look ✌🏻

Coinbase is an agent of the plutocracy, it's all they've ever wanted to be.

Afaik Coinbase is working alongside LE to crack down on drug transactions, binance recently suspended a account just because it had $1 million+ in crypto in the account because LE told them to. The future of crypto on brokers isn’t looking good.

Yeah just seems it’s it’s getting more and more controlled :(

Exactly the same thing happened to me and my other half, which we only discovered this morning as we tried putting our usual order in. Frantic scramble to register and get validated by another crypto thingy in time for a postal cut off. I was raging AND fuming. Joined Coinmama and my partner Bittylicious without too much trouble but the tension waiting was unbearable. You can imagine.

Pain in the arse mate, I’ve just gone with Coinjar now but read that Coinbase have the means to check where funds are sent to, but not sure how that’d make a difference! I’ve never done anything shady with my account, pretty strange man.

I use cex.io exchange, registered in the British Virgin Islands, to purchase crypto. They have one of the most secure exchanges, fees are fairly low, and user interface is intuitive. Unfortunately, KYC info required to set up an account. They have a large presence in Europe too. I am in the US, and Coinbase has come under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for such unsavory business practices. Coinbase is not a very secure platform either. I left btc on their exchange for trading last year, and my account was hacked and subsequently drained, even after I froze my account. Lost 5KUSD. I contacted them 4 times about this, but CB never responded. Finally had to join a class action lawsuit against CB where others had the exact same thing happen to them. Their security and customer service is way below the standards set by cex.io. I receive no affiliate money from my advice; motivated only in protecting buyers from a shady exchange.

Seems I'm well rid then huh!? Thanks man.

I want to start vaping myself what vape you recommend and are all carts 510 thread?

i think i have one, what colour is that setting?

I'm absolutely torn on it but I want to try them, I think.

I really love what they are doing, the products, the service, the community involvement, the prices! (especially the prices, lets be honest biggas).

But... importing my own bit of bud all the way from the other side of the planet? in the world we live in? bud I could be buying locally from UK growers, UK suppliers (and despite what the internet says UK weed just as good as anywhere else!).... simple fact is though you shouldn't be able to fly in an ounce of weed all the way from Canada for HALF the price of weed from within the UK, it makes no sense. At all.

Prices on here need to correct in the long run. As I said I love everything BCA are doing, they've gone about in such a refreshing way it fits in well with weed culture and the bud is hopefully absolutely banging but I'd rather not have to rely on people 4000+miles away for my smoke.

We need a price war :P

Must admit the risk of Z’s with my name on coming that far would stress me a tad but I don’t buy Z’s anyway man! Great post man, totally agree with it mate.

I don't normally either mate but if it was UK z's at that price I'd be on it in an instant lol the risk is another factor as well definitely, I'm tempted by the pre-rolls they have on now to test out the shipping but can I really justify shipping 7.5grams that far? I'm struggling with it to be honest when I could just get some chocolato from RB instead or whatever. Think I've talked myself out of these pre-rolls after I already told them I was in! I should learn to keep quiet haha

I dont know if it's the same for you, but local weed is £180-200 an oz. Im not seeing this as a "cheap" option...especially when $200 is for a lower grade oz .... I'd prefer not to risk importing internationally, for potentially standard weed. As you say, UK weed isnt actually bad lol. We aren't that desperate for the mid range. And the good shit is $350 ? What happened to $170 an oz!? Hmmmm.

Not to make a comment on anyones buying preferences, you do you...

The standard stuff is absolutely banging. As good as anything I’ve ever bought locally and a lot better that 95% of it.

I can only agree. I bought on ounce of Vader OG and loved it, better than any bud I've gotten from LB before.

If you don't buy ounces then I'd suggest its not for you - the level of stealth and packing these guys do wont be happening for smaller amounts (you'd understand if you saw their stealth). Nice to have this option here on biggy and I intend to get more :)

Fuck me you've smoked that already? lol

lol - I spread the love. When my hippy mates realised I was going to be able to try some canadian high end, they all wanted to try some some, so half of Totnes in Devon has tried Vader OG now :) I wish I had kept it all, it was tasty.

I still have well over 3 oz of various hashes and buds, so I guess I cant moan!

Class mate.

Yup good point I've been assuming the $200 is banging just because I haven't heard any complaints but as always with lb you never really know till you see a few reviews from familiar faces.

I still think there's a price correction to come on lb though, I'm not expecting price to ever be as cheap as my local connections but a slight adjustment is going to make a world of diff for us daily smokers when it comes! :)

Actually this has made me feel better about not putting my order in now! thank you! :)

I don't doubt it's good stuff. I hope i didn't come across skeptical. That wasn't my intention. I was genuinely wondering if anyone had the strains listed under "gold" in their lotto bag, just for an idea. It all looks good. But looks can be deceiving. Yep. Waiting for the trusties to slam their reviews down is always a good idea! :)

I've just seen their new wall, and I'm liking the variety. Though, not sure what happened to the low prices, promised? Looks to me like they are plugging the good stuff at some of the highest prices on LB ....?? Has anyone had the Gold level in their lotto bag?? Wondering what their lowest quality is like, in reality. I'm also thinking that the oz listings will be a double edged sword. I for one, have no interest in buying once whole ounce of one strain. I like to try all the flavours. Id be bored of an oz of one strain, by the end. Would be nice to see lower amounts. I dont think the pre rolls are the way forward. I would MUCH prefer to buy the weight and roll my own. That is, of course, personal preference. And these are just my ponderings.... :) Not meaning to cause any offence! I'm genuinely interested to see how this goes for B.C.A and wish them nothing but good luck! <3

I’d hate to smoke the same strain every night for aaaaages and buying Z’s of 5 different strains at a time could end up expensive lol Didn’t actually look in detail at the new ‘levels’ thing if I’m honest!

Exactly. Same level here Carverr :)

I like their grading system. It works well. Even the way they have listed looks/works great this time around. Their wall is pretty to say the least. I've just put up a post on my own page about the strains i got through in august...pretty much explains my reasons for being on LB and ounces isn't it. Drop to 14g and I'm in!! 4sho!

Hope you don’t mind my comments,I jumped on the first round because it was so cheap and I didn’t mind the risk. I purchased again because the weed was so good I wanted to try the hash and it was well worth it.

I put some photos up of my last drop here, I thought I’d reference so you can at least see it’s not stems and mould.

10g of hash and the (random) oz delivered for £260

No don't mind at all! That's exactly what i was looking for :) thank you for sharing your experiences :) it will only install more confidence, within the community, for a new vendor to succeed! All for it :D and also happy to hear you liked what you received! Great stuff! Always hop in!! We need more people who are ready to be honest in their experiences! It's what makes this little section of the interwebs so interestingly weird and wonderful :D

Have we seen any being re-sold yet?

Don’t think so mate but I’d buy from a reseller as I don’t buy Z’s and if the price was there for Henry’s and Q’s why not huh?
