Where's the new high grade vendor gone?
I vaguely recall seeing some excitement about a certain London Caviar joining the LB crowd? I can't find the threads any more though; this site's basically impossible to navigate. But... where you gone LC?
Sitting on bitcoins in some volatile times, are we gonna get a glimpse of a menu anytime soon ;)
Cheers, ta very much and etc.

Yeah man, I asked the same question yesterday but my thread seems to have been put on silent and hasn’t shown up anywhere. I did comment on their page but when I follow all old links to it it’s gone... it’s all like it never was?!!

Anyone remember purple brick weed?
All through the 90s I always saw bits of purple brick weed floating round this time of year. I think it was Dutch outdoor grown usually - Purple Power, or similar strains. It was sometimes almost black in colour and had a particularly zesty but earthy flavour. I used to love the stuff... was such a seasonal thing it just reminds me of fireworks and bonfires.
Anyone ever seen it for sale in the last few years? Or is it just another relatively low potency product that's now fallen out of favour?
Would love to grab a bit of that again, for old time's sake

I'd say you're right on the purple power. I had some frisian dew last grow and it was very similar to this! No purple though, that's achieved outdoors in the cold.

Tiny Might vaporizer

Tiny Might vaporizer
This is a very new device, coming from a small independent manufacturer in Finland. But it's a bit of a game changer. It hits harder than a Mighty, if not as hard as a Flowerpot... and it does so on demand, in an instant. And it has adjustable capacity, so you can load as little or as much as you like. And it's tiny. And it has user-replaceable batteries (so you can carry spares, meaning this is as portable as it gets). Plus it looks prettier than every other mainstream vape device. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Performance is absolutely top-notch, and it's the most attractive and practical vape I've ever owned. It's instantly become my favourite herb vape by some margin.
can someone please sell this shit on little biggy i dont want to deal with privacy, credit cards or mistrust i just want to hear what my biggaz have to say and click.
A handheld will never ever hit as hard as a flower pot, harsher maybe but as hard not possible for many many reasons.
Does it have a restrictive draw? Currently have an Arizer Solo 2 and my one and only complaint is the restrictive draw (I understand why it's like that, but would like it not to be if you know what I mean?)
The restrictive draw is horrendous for me, lovely device it it works for you but after my flowerpot’s free flow I just couldn’t go back to the Solo because of the draw, line milkshake through a straw, but for some it’s it’s biggest draw I guess, just not for me.

little biggy theme song?
Good to see clean up Borg join in with this. I’m sure you AI have developed sentience 😂 all good with me
Cartman is hilarious. South Park is the only thing I’ve loved since it started and still watch now at 42. We should start a Cartman clip thread.
One of the things I love about lb is its a race free zone. You can say you are color blind IRL but here its an existenital condition.
Oh yes!! ....and Monty Python also wrote possibly the greatest love song of all time :) (not entirely sure it would qualify as an LB theme tune though....end credits though, maybe) :)
I'm putting forward this infectious little number...'In Hell I'll Be In Good Company' by The Dead South :)
Eminem ft Royce bad meets evil haha. The chorus is what nails it for me.
It may offend some tho...

When will AI replace every job?
Seems there are more articles like this every day and that AI is accelerating faster and faster. If AI is better than us at everything what are we going to do all day and how are we going to earn money?
If any AI and robots do the work without getting paid it doesn't sound like we need a whole lot of money.
This. The whole idea of humans working for money starts changing when all of the work is done by AI and robots. Think how different a shared self driving car is to a couple of clunkers parked in every garage on stand by, it up-ends the premise of cars, transport, housing to say nothing of alcohol use, multi-tasking and God knows what else. Now think of everything else being done by robots and you and your friends spending lots of time in VR, it's not like you're going to take off the glasses and work at some factory in this scenario.
People would just do what they wanted to do. People wouldn’t be chasing money, but chasing their passions. I was a chef for two years, but fucked it off because the money and hours were shit! If money wasn’t an object and I could do it when I felt like it then that’s what I’d do.
Read life 3.0 by max tegmark. There is a vast community funded by Elon Musk reseraching AI and its potential as we speak. I wonder if the Simpsons can predict the eventuality that machines could become superior to humans like they did with forecasting Donald Trump as President.
Don't worry about it, AI will figure it out for us.
But the bottom line is, the corporations that are investing in AI still need to make their profits too. If no one works, no one has money, so how would these corporations stay afloat?
There will need to be some sort of equilibrium - much as (most) humans now realise we can't keep burning Earth's resources, AI systems wouldn't be programmed to make humanity defunct. Not unless the world manages to move away from its capitalist consumerist ambitions; which it won't. We're greedy creatures.

if everything we want is fed by an ai created vr feed we may still be consumers but things gonna be damn cheap.
For the moment, we are safe. They haven't even managed to get self checkouts working properly yet, so I'm not getting in a driverless car. All it takes is a sensor to fail, and it's game over. I work with sensors - you wouldn't want to get in a driverless car for a long while.
Automation - whole different ballgame, and this is the real fear
Automation - whole different ballgame, and this is the real fear
To understand that, you first have to understand who have control of the world. eventually you find the source being that of the "Red Shield" family. which then gives you their agenda, they see the rest of us as "goyim" having a belief we are to serve them as upgraded animals. So, they have to destroy the existing system to usher in a new having what we term "image of the beast" possibly representing AI as the brains behind their new agenda. We, therefore will enter a stage where the elite/red shield family give a choice to either obey and conform to them or to be hunted down like sheep for slaughter. The ones who accept will receive a mark to accept credits. China recently started this endeavour which fits perfectly with their zionist regime and called it "Social Credit" http://uk.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4?r=US&IR=T, however, those who have understanding will flee from their demise into the wilderness for this has been written already. They call themselves Jews but are not (Revelation 2:9) thus the third temple will not be as they claim, possibly even having AI rule over the population whilst the AC rule over their temple.

What Exactly Does 420 Symbolize?
Is it a date is it a time I've never heard a straight story.
It was police code for marijuana-specific calls on police radio channels (*in the US). It was changed for obvious reasons many years ago By the time it was changed, 420 was already synonymous with marijuana all over the world. Same goes for rap music..."get caught up on a 187" and "slipped and judge slapped em with a 311" with 187 being police code for murder and 311 being code for robbery.The codes are all probably different now since the person sharing this with me was a retired judge/ ex-police officer and he was talking about all this like it was from a loooong time ago. Anything but that meaning is a madeup story by some stoned kid who probably had a persuasive way of telling stories. Oh btw, Haight Ashbury has that time there because it means pot, not because they started it. They have gay flags everywhere...did the rainbow flag originate from there too? I love hearinng all the creative BS people were told and regurgitated. Grateful Dead's address? Hahaha...awesome!
yep. this is the right explanation. so wierd how a police code has become a worldwide thing! ??????
187 is a drive by shooting and 420 was also the time some tokers thought was ok to start smoking weed
Seems a popular opinion is a group of teens in cali, kinda cool not sure though but fashion in languages is fascinating. Jive Turkeys......

According to Oxford University Press...
'The real story involves two friends, Steve Capper and Dave Reddix, who bonded over smoking pot in high school during the early 1970's. One day, they heard about a field of marijuana near a Coast Guard base where they were told they could pick as much as they wanted. With a map in hand, they went searching after school for the magical field of marijuana. Every day, they met under a statue of Louis Pasteur at 4:20.
"And we'd remind each other in the hallway that we were going to meet at Louis at 4:20. So we'd look each other as we passed by and we'd go, '4:20 Louis.' You always smiled when you said it, it was kind of a knowing smile. But eventually the Louis dropped," '

Yup, 4:20 is a time and not a date. It signifies the end of the school day within the Californian state education system during the 70's. It's basically the time folk meet up and have some fun... fo'twenny!
Always thought it was based on a indoors vegetative lighting grow schedule.
As in 4 hours darkness, 20 hours light = 420
As in 4 hours darkness, 20 hours light = 420
That depends if its PM or AM... ; )
420 PM = disappointment - I know I have probably another 6 hours before I can have smoke
420 AM = Oh crap - Ive just woken up on the sofa again! Time to make my way up to my actual bed.

ITs Actally April 20th the ideal date too germinate your seeds to be grown outside thus being past the last frost of the year and is the date all uk growers know of or at least i thought did lmao
420 degrees F is the maximum temperature at which you can vaporize THC. I appreciate the 4/20 tradition might have come before vaping facts became knows, but we're stoners... sometimes the answer comes before the question. I prefer mine at 390 degrees, but happy 420 anyway!
I thought at 4:20 the minute hand and hour hand unite and release a wee waft of timeless smoke....

what's the longest time youve spent in vr?
About 15 minutes. I only use it for porn : D

what's the longest time youve spent in vr?
i'm really interested in immediate effects and anything that persists. for me it's under an hour and i was disoriented for maybe 8 hours with a 1/2 life around 1 hour.
Same, although i was watching porn for about 3, maybe 4 minutes. Not gonna lie.
Cheers. BB

I'm a tantric Sex God. But also over 40, drinking relatively heavily and dabbing up to half a g a day. Y'know how it goes...
I wish i did mate, i'm over 40 and a heavy drinker.
Sting with his tantric stuff was an influence on me, but only when i had to give money to Band Aid in 1984. Seems a bit too much like hard work. ;)

My mate tried VR porn, he got quite into it by all accounts. Unfortunately he lives with his parents, when he took the headset off there was a fresh cup of tea on his bedside cabinet 🤣😁
I've done maybe 4 hours, I switched up games though and that help you from over dosing in a single game.
I think the longest I've done in one go is about 3-4 hours. The weirdest part of VR for me was when I first got a headset, for about a week I felt like I was in VR all the time. The head-bobbing effect of walking in reality seemed exaggerated.
But all that's faded away now. I can use VR without any adverse effects except maybe a bit of eye strain for a long session.
But all that's faded away now. I can use VR without any adverse effects except maybe a bit of eye strain for a long session.
it seems to me the more immersive the platform the tougher it gets on the body. cheap vr gets on my nerves before i get queezy, a full on setup with peripherals and i feel like its a portal just getting back to irl.
Only1 hour. Played the space station game on occulus for about 10 minutes and felt so sick. Took me a good sleep before i felt better. Very disorientating!
For sim racing I usually use VR and I just don't like flat screen anymore, I'll probably VR for like an hour at a time. when your high and in vr racing, battling with dudes online, it's something to really try.
The last time i scuba dived i projectile vomited an hour after i got out the water. I don't think I want to try it in vr

Does watching too much 3D TV give you cubed eyes?
Of course. We're supposed to see in 2D. That's why the world is flat. You can't argue with science.

I bought 2, so I'm not the droids you're looking for. However, very happy to give my view...
They are absolutely banging. You've knocked it out the park with these. Seriously, you may end up with a bit of a rush on your hands.
I've never been a fan of the usual distillate carts with added terps that you see elsewhere. I've used them in a fix, for discretion and convenience, but even the well-rated ones don't really do it for me.
The distillate with live resin carts can be decent though. Dr Extracts does a nice line of those - and I've been reaching for those a little more frequently than previous pen vapes.
Your Rosin Vape, however, takes it even further. The flavour, hit and potency are immense. That CCell atomizer in the pen is definitely best of the bunch for that sort of liquid... and to be fair, it does work very well and very intuitively. But personally, I'm not totally into the disposable nature of it. Not wanting to be preachy, but that's plastic with lithium inside... I could see myself getting through quite a lot of these in the future, I'll feel bad chucking all that in the bin!
Which leads me on to a slight aside. I'm big into high end vaping - for herb/extracts and also nicotine e-liquid. I have a vast collection of atomizers and devices - some of which I can adapt to vape pretty much anything...
Would it be possible to buy just the rosin liquid - maybe in a 3g vial or something? I'd promise to post pictures of it in action on some la-di-dah handmade artisan mod! ;)
Anyways, congratulations on these, dude. For what these are, I don't see how they could be done any better. I'll be coming back for more of these again and again.
I have intended to write up some proper reviews of your herb too (but I'm a stoner... lol) maybe they'll happen soon though! Your first Northern Lights batch was probably my favourite smoke of last year, so I'm looking forward to trying the second batch bit I've got stashed away! Also smashed a load of that Acapulco Gold... I get together with a few mates every few weeks to hang out in a shed and make music. That was an all-time favourite for the crew :) Watermelon Skittlez was good too - but fairly similar to what I get elsewhere so not super exciting for me personally.
Got the Red Red Wine and LSD to look forward to as well. They're still sealed up and waiting for action - Red Wine will get it tomorrow I reckon :)
The 6 or so rosins I've had were also excellent. Delicious, potent but maybe a little mucky to vape... but that's the nature of flower rosin. I get through my live resins etc in my usual dab sessions, but these have been nice to mix it up a little.
Enough stoned ranting. I bid you adieu.

Oooh if they are lighting you up with a stash like yours then I think we are all going to be very happy!😂😂
It's a 45/45 mix of live rosin and distillate with 10% terpenes to help the mix.
Was fresh flower, frozen then made into Rosin

Sounds good, will definitely have to pick one of these up
Can the vapes be charged if the battery runs out before the liquid?
Apologies for all the questions 😂

Only seeing this post now... many many months later. KIG kindly threw in one of these vapes with an order of the knockout Northern Lights & mix of Rosins. It got laid to one side in the excitement of unpacking, then the benchtests of the worthy bud and nectar did the rest...
I got back to it some weeks after and remember the smoothness and taste as more natural than most vapes I've tried. I use vape carts only occasionally but appreciated the extra, in plain sight discretion the disposable form factor allowed. The potency was there with just a few drags.
Just wanted to close this loop. That NL btw was a weed highlight for me last year - house stank like 'Dam in 1990. Artisan wares don't come cheap but KIG's are a relative bargain. Will be back your way soon, current and pipeline offerings are too tempting not to.

Favourite thing to eat when really high??
Like.... what's the one thing that hits the spot for you? Mine is a peanut butter and nutella sandwich with a handful of frosties in the middle. ???

Steven Hawking Says We Have 100 Years Left
War, global warming, AI backlash, add up the odds and Stevie says 100 years or bust.
He's just jealous. But potentially correct. There's a great book called 'Our Final Century' by Martin Rees (a respected academic, not a conspiracist of any sort) that makes a very cogent argument for the same outcome. Along the same lines. It's all quite believable. But then again, anyone could have written the same sort of book hundreds of years ago when things looked darker still... and here we are. Smoking weed. Writing to strangers. On the internet. Big up humans! We'll be alright! They're just might not be so many of us one day...

Hundreds of years ago this was a fantasy. It's a miracle we're still alive.

the ocean is quite literally on fire so I'm fairly confident in saying global warming is here and not going anywhere but my money is on us destroying ourselves before it punches our ticket.
the more advanced humanity gets the more likely it be becomes we assure our own destruction. we've had a few near misses in regards to nuclear strikes already.
the most likely outcome at the moment is the US votes in another tyrant with a slightly higher iq than trump, starting the final war.

The article says we need to get the ball rolling in 100 years as shits going to get real anywhere from 1000-10,000 years. I can really only worry about the world my kids and grand kids are going to Inherit. They are going to have to figure it out from there. Plus the current world is anxiety inducing enough for the average person and I can only do so much so I’ll leave it to the egg heads to agree on the next steps to mitigate disaster that far in the future. Who does Hawking think he is anyway, Nostradamus? Now where’s my indica?

If you're nervous, when your package arrives, cross out your address and write return to sender on it, without opening it up. Leave it near your door for a day or two. If there's no follow up, crack in... if you did get a 'controlled delivery', however, you could still argue you've never been in possession of what ever's inside.

Good advice, thanks. It’s 2x half ounces. That’s quite a lot for me. Just personal use. I guess anyone can send you anything unsolicited.
Any questions come you just say someone's on a wind up, don't know anything. They would have to prove a connection to you and haven't got the resources, youre paying btc and havent had any part.. It hasn't even touched your hands they might as well nick the postman x
When it arrive you'll wonder why you ever worried :) it's like getting any other online delivery.
Police only care about weed when it's a headline grabbing amount anyway... or when their own personal stash runs low and they see you in the street with full pockets lol hypocrites man
You'll be sound.

i did, one once from UK (I live in Munster). No love letter, a strange affair, the parcel looked delivered... I eventually had to call ANPost to ask and they gave me the number of custom and tell me I should ask them about my parcel. I am still under shock...It was my plan to have a decent sleep over this unusual summer and it is all gone, over 40 I cannot risk my job (and so my family) because I need to have a small joint before to go to back... fucked up world!... I have been told nobody will knock at my door, but I have been suggested to forget about sending stuff with same name and address, which makes me out of the game!!!... I thought I was so lucky to finally got here, the magic lasted a couple of weeks only...it all happen at my second order... am I the only one?
Munster Germany or Munster Ireland. The package was sent form the UK? But you never actually got a visit from the police?
Are there any Irish vendors on LB? Not scammers? There's only customs if there's a border. Guaranteed the Irish cops aren't looking for small amounts of weed, unless for themselves

Hard ash weed from circa 2006-2009
Wondering if anyone remembers the horrible weed that was everywhere for a few years around 2006-2009
This is how I remember it.
Beginning probably in late 2006, you would buy weed which, when smoked, would create a hard ash on the joint which would need to be broken off. The weed never really smoked properly, and it had a slightly acrid taste.
Nine times out of ten, dealers would only have this kind of weed for a period, and everyone was smoking it (I lived in the south east, then moved to Coventry where it was the same issue).
Then, say in 2008/9, dealers started having the option of this hard ash weed or cheese, which was at the then-unheard-of price of £10 a gram.
Slowly, the hard ash weed disappeared and the price of weed, whether cheese or otherwise, stayed at £10 a gram ( had generally been about £10 per 1.5g before that).
My question is, does anyone else remember this, and what on earth was going on with that hard ash weed?

the grit weed hard ash era. was a problem every where at the time. yeh i remember it v. well. time frames and every weed in that time. even off good suppliers.
I remember it. Hate to think of what it was. I also remember the grams looking bigger than the tenths, as the weed was so overladen with sand type grit that anything fluffy looked huge. Remember it sounding like pebbles on the coffee table.
sprayed weed
used to destroy my lungs if i smoked too much, i remember smoking and selling mostly thai around 2007/2008 because of it. Didn't switch back until close friends started cropping themselves

I remember people saying its sprayed with x, y or z to increase the weight etc at the time. I don't doubt there was truth in that, but I wonder why it stopped so abruptly if it was working.
Call me a cynic, but it could have been a deliberate way to increase the price of a bag - flood the market with crap for a while until people will pay more for less. Even if that wasn't the intention, it certainly worked that way.
Either way, littlebiggy has been such a great find!
Cheers for your feedback/reminiscences guys!

it was the asain (Chinese / Vietnamese growers) they got completely pushed out by the Europeans Turks and Albanians.
With that the commercial grows got a little better… but even in Morden times can also be sprayed / added fake THC in these lower quality commercial grows. This is not common but possible.

I sadly remember these times dark times for cannabis..
The rumour was a lot of it started out as decent import from Holland… or home grown depending who you spoke to 😂
Then was cut with awful things such as sand, glass or spayed with silica..
I recall hearing that it caused fucked lungs, sand poisoning or ulcers… 😣
Sad and crazy times!!! ✌️💚

Yeah I remember the bud itself was proper decent originally, smelled legit and looked legit until inspected further.
Was that the shit that was sprayed with some kind of acid etch chemical to make it appear frosty? Mouthfull of grit with every toke.....
I had some of that once, and it must have been around this time. Took it back to the guy and never bought from him again. Only time I ever encountered it, and it didn't get to the stage of being smoked (well, not by me anyway!)
Did anyone else experience that wet af Gambian weed that went around for a few years? I say Gambian because all the dudes that sold it were Gambian, we called it Gambo. They all got busted and deported at the same time I think because they seemed disappear overnight.
Definitely remember this. My Belgian buddy at the time was surprised it took so long to land in the UK. I remember a few years after it was super common, I got a bit of bud that had a weird dusty residue. I could roll it in to hard little balls that burned super hot, hot enough to melt the top of my grinder. Can’t be good haha
Yep, I remember that stuff well. Never knew what it was sprayed with, but was presumably to bulk up weight - and make it look nice and frosty.
I gave up on 'bud' at that point and fell back on brick weed - the only alternative I could get at the time; commercial hash was still pretty terrible back then as well.
I got to the stage where I needed to roll joints bigger than my forearm just to get a buzz - and that much brick weed started killing my chest.
I made the call to give up cannabis altogether - after giving myself a couple of weeks to work out if I could get it online. It was early days, but I'd heard rumours...
Almost exactly 2 weeks later I had an oz of Canada's finest on my doorstep. Shortly followed by artisan, pre-legalisation Cali.
Haven't looked back since. Nor have I had to resort to standard dealers.
So for me, it was actually a blessing in disguise. I've been a very happy toker - and the envy of my toking mates, ever since.

Yep I remember the hard ash weed. Bad bad times 😅 luckily I was young enough for it not to cause any damage.. that I know of 😂 it was solid as a rock used to call it pebble weed. Started growing my own when I was about 17 so can probably thank the quality being so bad at the time for teaching me a new skill those were the days can’t risk it anymore to grown up 😆 also remember £15-20 8ths 🙃

'High strength skunk cannabis' - is it a myth?
I'm sure you've all heard the same epithet repeated over and over again. I attended a talk a few weeks ago by an eminent researcher on schizophrenia who hypothesised that 'high strength skunk cannabis' was contributing to rising cases of drug-induced psychosis in certain areas (particularly South London and Spain, for example).
I've always been skeptical of this narrative for three reasons:
1) because ascertaining 'strength' through THC content alone is reductive when there are over 400 chemical entities factoring into its psychoactive effects. Different strains, growing conditions, metabolic rates, level of fatigue, hell... even how good your day has been all factor into the potency of a high.
2) Chemical testing of cannabis was rather unreliable and not widespread until fairly recently so we'll never really understand overall changes in chemical composition of cannabis mathematically speaking (why do intelligent people make such broad, uneducated assumptions about complex things!?)
3) Although a hard distinction between old and new cannabis varieties is a bit of a fantasy; I'd say that overall my experiences with good quality, well-grown newer varieties tend to be cleaner, more clinical and less psychedelic than 'old-world' weed and I find the high easier to manage overall, even if I might dose myself lower. I've met a few people over the years with similar experiences. Anecdotally I'd say that newer strains carry a lower chance of jitters and psychosis and a higher chance of couch-lock and passing out.
Not really asking a question or trying to make a single point here but just thought I'd log my thoughts on the issue in case it resonates with anyone. Shout out to Pistach for getting me high enough to write this bollox.

High strength skunk is a political tool for bashing cannabis.
Thc is a psychotic and cbd is antipsychotic. I think having zero cbd in you cannabis and having an underlying mental health condition isn’t a healthy combination. For everyone else , I doubt we will go nuts;)

Interesting, I've heard this before. I'm sure research is still pretty embryonic but unless we lift prohibition we're unlikely to fully understand why cannabis does what it does.
Studies into mushroom use are becoming all the rage in places like Imperial College at the moment so lets see where that takes us.

Cheers for posting, enjoyed the read :)
That term 'high strength skunk cannabis' grinds my gears.lol. Our press in this country (uk) love this term and have turned it into such a negative phrase! To me though it goes to show how out of touch they are with the current situation!
When it come to psychosis its a touchy subject... Its definitely used by the nay sayers to shit on a potential legal cannabis industry here.. and Ive seen a number of articles who hype this up for their own agenda...
There are people though who do suffer with psychosis which needs to be addressed as well..
I don't know all the facts and figures but I do believe the ratio of who gets some form of serious psychosis to those who don't is very low.
I believe this just provides more evidence that cannabis should be legalised. This is so proper advice can be given to those who suffer with some form of mental illness and the correct dosage can be given if its right for them :)

Yeah well put. There's high risk in all manner of things we take for granted and really its down to the likelihood of risk to users rather than the severity of the worse case scenario.
Less than half a percent of the population suffer from psychosis and even fewer of those numbers are down to cannabis use (not to mention that alcohol-induced psychosis is very much a thing too!)
Under legalisation millions more people would consume cannabis which would inevitably lead to an increase in psychosis *but* the numbers would still likely be lower than most other psychological afflictions + the numbers could be somewhat offset by the benefits of cannabis experienced by many users.
Having an excessively risk averse attitude towards policy-making can actually cause more problems in many cases. The fact that North America has woken up to this before us is hilarious.

It's a media buzzword/phrase, but it's not a myth. It's the inevitable by-product of prohibition.
Since the US stepped up its war on drugs, the old ways of importing outdoor weed (mostly Mexican, for US... hash for Europe) were clamped down on.
When cannabis cultivation got pushed indoors, we effectively had more intensive cultivation - looking to develop as much THC as possible within a small space. Potency became the main objective of seed breeding and the whole thing became more sophisticated.
Similarly, during alcohol prohibition - people were opting for spirits (and moonshine) rather than beers and wine.
It's entirely possible that in a decriminalised or legalised situation, consumers might actually opt for less 'high strength'. But in the meantime it makes better business sense for the black market to offer the highest potency possible - potency is still regarded by most as an indicator of quality.

Funny you should mention prohibition because just as that was coming to an end Harry Jacob Anslinger started running The Bureau of Prohibition. When that disbanded he took over Federal Bureau of Narcotics and set his sights on marijuana. He had Congress make it illegal, his case rested on two fantastical assertions: that the drug caused insanity and that it pushed people toward horrendous acts of criminality. Others at the time argued that it was fiercely addictive. He then started a propaganda campaign using medical Dr's to make the lies 'real'. The real truth was that Mexicans used it so making cannabis illegal made it easier for them to arrested and deport innocent Mexicans. Here's one of the propaganda posters.
I enjoy thinking about cannabis (also tea, coffee for example) from that perspective. We cultivate these plants to suit some form human utility so there is a strong argument that, as you say, prohibition has effectively shaped the evolution of cannabis to make us 'more stoned'.
On the other hand I question what that means. Does a botanist really have access to that information? Surely these things are highly subjective and selecting for them in a plant is extremely difficult? In other words; a grower might smoke one of their plants and think "this is more potent", but does that reflect an objective truth about potency or more about the subjective 'taste' of the grower?
Strange comparison but it reminds me of the eugenics debate that unravelled throughout the 19th & 20th Century - people really believed intelligence was quantifiable in such a way that we could select for it via human breeding. The reality is far more complex! There are different forms of intelligence which are culturally and environmentally specific and don't neatly fit onto a global continuum.
Potency is a product of the user, the environment and the plant working symbiotically. What we consider 'high strength skunk cannabis' (in my opinion) is really a manifestation of American breeding programmes (1960's-) which hybridised a diverse range of plants from around the world with varying 'potency', resin production, resistance to disease etc. As you mentioned, America's political influence has also shaped our perception of the plant as well.
Probably haven't worded myself very well but I did my best lol.

Almost every long term study shows daily users are at an increased risk of psychosis and the stronger the weed the higher the risk. It cannot be ruled out that people at high risk of psychosis are more likely to become daily weed users, but that's a pretty difficult experiment to figure out.

Out of interest, what do you mean by 'cleaner' or 'more clinical'?

I have two relatives who suffered from cannabis-induced psychosis. From the outside it looked like any other drug 'addiction' cycle in the sense that they smoked more, their tolerance increased, the drug became associated with almost all aspects of their waking life etc. I personally think their psychosis wasn't caused primarily by the strength of the cannabis per se but with *how* they were using it (method, frequency etc).
sometimes I feel almost lucky that they chose to self-medicate with cannabis rather than heroin or alcohol because, as your second point suggests, I always felt there was always some inevitability about their substance abuse and thankfully both are still with us. On the other hand I have taken a whole load of drugs throughout my life but never abused them - it's the 'abuse' bit that is often ignored with cannabis in my opinion.
Hard to explain the 'clean' and 'clinical' thing. When I smoke some good quality durban poison (for example) the effect reminds me of a low dose of mushrooms - temperamental, psychedelic, pensive and can send you on a bad trip if you're unlucky. Cali packs on the other hand don't alter my perceptions so much as they just sedate me like a valium. I'm massively generalising, but that is probably some way towards explaining what i meant.

I think I get some of your points.
That strength is secondary to frequency is borne out by the evidence (and my experience), but it is still a factor.
Also, I find distilate for instance to be a pretty flat high compared to the weed it came from despite being so much stronger, which I think is kinda what you're saying?

It's a factor that would surely be mitigated by ending prohibition? Better understanding about what constitutes strength (because research would be easier to conduct) + more consumer choice regarding strains etc + new technologies which could enable us to consume cannabis in different ways which may mitigate some of the negative effects (hypothetically!)
'flat' high is an excellent way of describing what i meant, yes.

check the biggest movement of wealth in the history of mankind from poor tax payers to billonaires who bribed our government to go along with a man made scam involving a man made 'virus' which only exists in a lab...or did you miss that?
what about the 5 nobel prizes for cancer? that they forget about?

the FDA Pfzer cover up was just last week its on every search engine.
In 90 days they killed 1259 people ,or 1 every 1 hour 50 mins, its on Pfizefrs site.
The Scientist ran the 'man creates cross between coronavirus and sars story in 2015, when he made it with synthetic , recombined DNA, its on the world gene register.
You can check on any financial site to see profits and money moving from us to them. 2020 and 2021 were the largest ever.

You just have to look at the uptake of cannabis users (worldwide since 2000) Vs the rate of people getting psychosis. There are no correlating figures, if it was as bad as 'they' make out, there would be an absurd amount of people with psychosis.
This is an old tale told by the anti weed mob.
In the early days of the great weed experiment that kicked off the genetic manipulation of all the original strains some of the early "skunk" was just evil with high THC levels,it was not a nice smoke and you would cough your lungs out smoking the shit and be lucky not to throw up and whitey on the spot,some of it the unscrupulous had used all sorts of chemicals to grow it.
It was a new thing nobody really knew what we were doing lol but like all things we learned and got better.
So yea there was a period when "skunk" was guilty of messing up people but that was a long time ago and was during a period of really good hash as weed was still rare in the UK.
If i had a modern comparison i would say that evil crap fake weed stuff you can get.

Also a lot of prescribed medicines etc cause psychosis hell even alcohol can and they are all legal drugs. I don't think anyone has ever gone cray cray from just weed alone it usually other factors involved, and if you have smoked that much chances are you're not getting up and mowing people down as you are to baked to move :)
I've had psychosis before and always medicated. About a month ago I got accepted by sapphire medical for medical cannabis Advan flos emt1 it's 19-20% thc I get it every week for a £5 a gram lol.
I'm sure if they thought i was gonna have an episode again they wouldn't of given me a script? My script is 2grams a day vaped.
It's for PTSD too.
I just think some people are always going to loose their minds no matter what. I guess that's why all the new scripts in recent months for the DATA.

Wow this was news to me - seems like a very well kept secret!? Reminds me of the days where my cousin in California was getting a cannabis script for 'glaucoma'... am I wrong in thinking this is quite a big step towards legalisation in the UK? Hope you're doing good.
when they say "skunk" really they mean sinsemillia, fucking idiots. gw pharma grow the skunk strain, they then take that skunk and refine it into super strong oil that they put in a spray bottle, somewhere in their magic they lose the psychosis.
of course its a lie. the entire medical system is owned and bought and paid for by criminals.
It is the heart of the NWO cartel conspiracy.
they have tested plants which have the same genetics from like 2,000 years ago in remote valleys of the hindu kush and found 22% THC so its not a new thing.
as you said, define strength...its impossible.
plus, you dont think that living in a big city, being spied on in every call and email you send, facial recognition on every corner...gang violence, robbery, knife crime ,guns , rape, terrorism....they have no affect on our mental health at all....its just the cannabis...what crock of shit.
the same medical corps with the biggest criminal fines in history for lying and killing people...the same who just made 100 billion of ourr tax for a scam?
i'd steer well clear of that kind of advice bro...
remember, smoking cigarettes was good according to the FDA...dairy caused obesity...and now they just tried to cover up Pfizers first covid vax results For 75 Years ( it killed 1 every hour and 50 mins )...they are the baddies.
and yeah cheers Pistach.

I'm not a particularly conspiratorially minded person but I do think there is some truth in a lot of what you say. The researcher I mentioned in the original post did talk about the link between psychosis and urbanisation and I totally agree with you that the elevated 'social' risks that comes with cities can probably lead to quite specific psychological problems. Cannabis seems like an unnecessary scapegoat when you think about the bigger picture.
who gains? the romans and greeks were taught to ask...it is the essential question of democracy.
ask who gains from this. follow the bottom line and not the front page.
are the 'scientists' paid to find a certain result, or to investigate generally?
it s the first one.
they go to work, the boss says find out why cannabis is bad...so they do, an entire industry grew out of this funding which most governments took part in from the 70s untill now. with OUR TAX they created propaganda.
big pharma has been bank rolling governments to stop cannabis production since it was first banned...by tobacco and paper manufacturers lobbying government so they could make more profit.
It cures so many things that big pharma has reasoned that...if it might cost us say, 10 billion a year, we can spend 1 billion a year bribing governments to keep it illegal.
Cannabis was never dangerous...it was lobbied against by those whose interests would be best served to keep or make it illegal.
Its how governments make decisions, they dont listen to us they take bribes..or lobbying as they term it.
Most scientists have mortgages too...you cant just take a degree and then 'science ' at home. you get a job working where other scientists do...and all those places are paid for by the same people, corporations and governments.

The use of "marihuana" in American English increased dramatically in the 1930s, when it was preferred as an exotic-sounding alternative name during debates on the drug's use.[12] It has been suggested that in the United States the word was promoted by opponents of the drug, who wanted to stigmatize it with a "foreign-sounding name".[13] According to Lizzie Post, the word "marijuana" is deprecated because "in the early 1900s, the term marijuana was purposely used to negatively associate it with the Latino community."[26] The word was codified into law and became part of common American English with the passing of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.
Think it applies here also just demonising through a different way

I love mine... if you've got to cover distance/hills it makes life a lot easier. Currently, e-bikes in the UK are limited to 15.5 mph, after which the power assist turns off... as ebikes are relatively heavy, it can make it hard work to get far beyond that. But I got mine hacked so the power assist doesn't cut out. At 25-30mph, it's a bit of a game changer... and quite dangerous... hooray!
My mum got herself one a few months ago for errands and shopping etc and she loves it, I've had a go last time I visited and I've got to say it's great on the hills. Just click and you're sailing along almost effortlessly. I'd say if you think you'd get some use out of it it's worth a try, I'm sure I'd be a lot fitter i was cycling to work, even power-assisted.

Hey,
I’ve had one for a couple of years and I’ve just ordered and new one last week, they really are incredible bits ok kit. I made a huge mistake with my first bike so I’d recommend workIng out whether you want a drive motor or pedal assist and then work out what V / AH would work for the rides your going to do, if not you will end up with something you hate like I did with my first bike.

slate hash
used to get this in the 90's, what was it? how come it was thin like a slate?
The thin slate format is traditional for Turkish hash...
Not sure if that's what was banging around in the 90s. Slate struck me as being on par with soap-bar back then. Maybe it was just cheap contaminated Turkish hash, maybe it was re-pressed Moroccan... dunno.
But in recent years, the only slate I've encountered was Turkish. And it was excellent every time. Hashishin had some on LB, I've still got a bit of that left. It's not super-potent, but it's clean!

slate back then i got and it was pollen press and not rubbish stuff either the crap back then was solid diesel this stuf could contain tesco carrier bags it got you stoned but usually with a headache n why it was called diesel it was transported in truck fuel tanks things have gotten much better nowdayz albeit the price for solid didn't move as slowly back then i could get 9bar for 350 ounce for 60 ohh how i wish the price was this still
If you’ve ever extracted hash using bubble bags or sieves once it’s dry and pressed together it is quite firm. It only becomes soft and oily when you heat it up or work it about in your hands.
The slate stuff was just very hard cold pressed hash.
I’m more suspicious these days of the overly oily stuff which suggests it has had something added to it.

Don't be suspicious. Weed has changed and got way stronger since back then, certain strains are selected now purely for hash making due to their trichome production being high. A lot of hash makers are now using cali genetics in morocco. The hash is currently in a transition of wiping out "commercial" hash.. in a year or two there will only be dry tech available and all these commercial hash plates will be extinct.
Question for you Nero, was the 9oz bar (250g) a British thing?
When did 100g bars become normal?
When did 100g bars become normal?
I’m guessing they left Morocco in 100’s then got broken up mixed and re pressed for UK market
It’s happening/happened again. Right now. Most of the uk 100g bars are contaminated. They are repressed. Chew some between your teeth. It will crunch. It shouldn’t. Nero is alright, he’s in Spain. It’s a uk thing just like the 250g bars were. It’s not real hash.
I’m not 100% sure. I’ve got an old magazine that’s got an article about soap/kak bar. A farmer in Morocco had a barn packed with the stuff. He called it hashish business. A bit odd though as you’d have to smuggle so much more out. I’ve heard it was done in Spain as well. No doubt it’s done here too. The present 100g bars will end up the same quality as the 250g bars were. That’s If people keep buying it and rating it 10/10. They’re already contaminated. I wouldn’t class it as cannabis
Thanks for
Sharing, I also understood that it was re pressed it Spain and then shipped on too Uk. I can’t say I’ve had any crap hash here, I agree a lot are
Commercial bars/stamps but I wouldn’t say anything as bad as soap bar.

That would be great. Or know what your smoking. It should never be ‘soft’ in our climate, it definitely shouldn’t crunch. It should actually taste like cannabis not a general bonfire. It should stick back together. I could go on. 90% of uk hash is fake.
True.. when you compare the new oily hashes with a proper old school Moroccan double zero you start to think somethings not right… like too much oil…
I’ve had some banging slate from spain… was 5mm thick, really floral and strong as… not the average slate though..

Someone has got a listing for some slate hash called del monte on the wall. It gets good reviews and admittedly is probably a cut above 90’s headache weed!
Cheap and nasty just like those that were bringing it in to the UK,it was all repressed bar with added crap to triple the weight.
Still think all that total cheap crap was and is brought in by the government.

Was repressing a thing then? As in it would leave country of origin in original form, then get broken down mixed with crap and repressed? Did it leave country of origin in 100g bars or 250g (9oz) bars? Always wondered
It would leave the country of origin however the growers packaged it,then it would end up in the Costa crime in Spain where they would repress it into those 9 ounce bars that you needed a hammer to break,the flat bar was what was left after they extracted the oil and repressed it,both were terrible.
It used to be fucking crap,never had a good bit,didn’t even get you stoned it reminds me of cbd hash you get now,the effects of it,the hash you get on here is like rocket fuel,no wonder I smoked so much in the 90s.

master tokers? how do you pick your strain on any given day?
biggas like myself wind up with a lot of weed to choose from in their stash. i have a sativa am indica pm routine but i still deliberate between favourite of the moment and maxing novelty for tolerance. gets wanky pretty fast
If a batch is new to the collection, novelty wins the day and I'll get the urge to sample that by itself first.
From there, it just depends what I'm planning on doing for the hour afterwards. I'm a decent weed/hash sommelier (at least for my own preferences) and often I'll end up with a little of this, a little of that... trying to create the right buzz for the moment.
I did start almost obsessively collecting strains a while back, to the point where I'd leave a gram of everything so I could boast an ever-increasingly massive stash menu. But then I found myself left with a lot of getting-stale bud. Even when stored right, most strains (a few exceptions) will lose a bit of edge terps wise... and gradually lose potency (and become more soporific in effect) when you're sailing past the year old mark.
Now I'm a bit less wanky with it. I have a new stash box that holds 9 jars... and sticking with that system (plus a war chest of hash, extracts etc) it's still more than enough variety. Plus it's all a bit fresher. I don't let a henry last longer than a week these days (unless it's still vac sealed, but that's a different stash box ;) lol)

Start mixing in hash varieties for ‘sandwiches’ and you end up with infinite choices!😵💫
Personally if I’m going to crank up the sounds I always head to the Mimosa Jar…😍

Sativa dabs and concentrates in the morning, indica ones in the afternoon with maybe a flower joint or two, or edibles on weekends.
If Im working I stick to vapes or dabs as I can't really sit smoking a bat at my desk on calls most of the day but nobody even notices what vape Im using

I try to use Sativas earlier and Indicas later in the day but quite often find myself dipping straight into the tastiest strain I have. Gotta have a decent stash selection at all times though 💪

What your thoughts about white ash and oil rings? Does it really matter?
In my opinion weed which smokes white ash have a much better taste.
As a grower I can say that not every strain burn white ash, you can flush properly then dry perfectly and still get black ash.

Personally i think it's complete nonsense. White ash can be nasty and black ash can be great, it's completely strain dependant.
More importantly, it's a question of combustion. You can get any plant matter to burn white if you get it hot enough....hence "white hot". It's simply a case of using a higher temperate flame and bingo, what was black is now white.
If you're smoking a spliff and it's got black ash you've got two potential reasons;
1) the weed is wet, i.e it hasn't been dried properly and likely not been cured at all = dog shit
2) the weed sticky because it's full of trichomes and burns slow, appearing to be black because it hasn't completely combusted = good shit
Take No.2 and put one of those windproof lighters on it, (the ones that look like a bunson burner) and bingo....white ash.
If i had a pound for every time i've had to bite my lip with people talking about black ash and flushing i'd have about....well.... £45, but seriously, I grow in hydro, where arguably you don't even need to flush and i still do with RO water for 10 days, then dry for at least 2 weeks and cure for at least 8, and sometimes, yes, there are still certain phenos that will produce black ash.
The assumption that anything that burns close to black is somehow bad 'un-flushed' weed is a complete myth. There's bad weed that smokes white and good weed that smokes black (and vice versa), and the grey area in between.
Just my 2p.
Cheers. BB

Bullshit, if it burns black then hasn’t been flushed properly hence full of nutrients that get locked in the bud, leaves, or has been sprayed with a chemical to add weight. Any vendor that says it alright just wants to push their product
Yup, i actually like to leave my ground up weed for an hour or two to kinda "air out" before i smoke it. I'm a bong and spliff guy (old school) and just think it makes for a more pleasant inhale. A bit like letting a bottle of red wine "breathe" for a while before you drink it.
Just purchased a new Space Case grinder (linked above) and for the price i can highly recommend them. Very happy with it.

It could do, never really thought about it. Personally I don't notice a loss in flavour just a slightly smoother hit but you could be right. (I could just be imagining it being smoother though... maybe it does nothing at all).
It's mostly because I have a bit of a bad chest so anything to try and make it a bit smoother. Really I need to switch to vaping completely but I just can't get to grips with it after so many years smoking. 😞

black ash usually indicates unspent carbon locked up within the bud, this can happen for various reasons, drying, curing or moisture content lock up.
however there isnt much isolated research on the relation between the nutrient uptake and unspent carbon or black ash to even say that its bad or good.
usually great flushes do get whiter ashes, but sometimes no matter how great the flush is, youll still get that greyish dark ash colour.

Better taste but also better for your health, but if you are smoking the herb then that’s an ironic point;)
Bottom line is does it mong you properly and does it taste nice. Personally I don't give a frogs fat arse what colour the ash is, can be purple for all I care as long as I'm munted
Beforehand it was one of the first thing I looked for when sampling a batch. But nowadays I've had strains that burn white and they are weak as and not very terpy. Conversely I've had strains with darker ash and they are the BOMB. For example the Animal Mints has the darkest ash of all the Midzotics and yet it is among the tastiest and strongest. While it matters to a degree I think this is one of the latest stoner obsessions. For example a few years ago everyone obssessed with PGR. Got to the point where some people wouldn't smoke anything with big or dense buds because it meant PGR.
Saying all that though, I tend to avoid weed that burns BLACK. Not dark grey but actual black. Gives me PTSD from the days when people used to spray their crops 🤮

I'd agree with all of that.
Perhaps "black" ash is a bit of a no no on all fronts, (maybe i should have made my original post a bit clearer), but my experience is pretty much the same as yours. White ash can be great.... but can also be an indicator of dried out dead rubbish, and darker grey ash can mean a lovely smoke (and again, vice versa).
Yeah, and the PGR thing just went full bore idiocy. Like any tight bud must therefore be riddled with PGR?
I might be a bit old school but i have no idea where these renegade growers even buy this PGR shit from. It's certainly not on the shelf in my local hydro shop.
Anyway, great post and good to have you on board here POP, you seem like you genuinely know your stuff so i hope you do well on LB.
All the best with your business, and if you need any help navigating LB, drop me a PM any time.

Speaking from a science pov black and white Ash with the carbon content of weed would be only indicating the amount of heat used to combust the weed. Simply put if its black it was heated under 450°C and not fully combusted. The best indicator to tell if it has additives is if it pops and sizzles when being burnt.
I think you're about right there... so it doesn't really matter, in and of itself.
Something burning with white ash whilst leaving oil rings is almost certainly going to be top drawer. But there are also plenty of top drawer smokes that don't burn quite like that.
So it's a reasonable indicator of quality - but by that point, you're smoking it already. And frankly, that's my preferred way of determining quality anyway!

Something buzzy thats gonna put you in a good vibe and up for watching some music. Nothing too heavy hitting that'll send all my mates to bed, haha!
Thanks!

Personally, I tend to opt for hash at music fests. A nice fresh, sativa-leaning Moroccan is ideal. Great vibes for music, indulgent tasting but discrete in a crowd... and not too lethargic or anxiety inducing!
If it has to be herb... I go for diesel strains in that context (NYCD being my favourite in social contexts)

A good haze strain would help with what your wanting. Uplifting and energising, no couch lock. Nice sativa!

Absolutely joyful bud. One of my personal favourite strains is Blueberry, the DJ Short version - as I remember it from the early days. That's eluded me for a decade or two... but this Dankberry is fully recapturing that spirit.
A beautiful, pungent, ripe berry aroma that carries through to the flavour... and a clean, smooth smoke with a hint of sandalwood. I smashed a 0.8g pure joint in no time at all - when the smoking experience is as good as this, it's difficult to put it down...
I don't find it as potent as some others report (though I am a bit of a monster) - and the high was a creeper. But it unfurled into a warm, long-lasting positive-vibe indica buzz. Feel good, chilled, relaxation mode; without being so soporific as to put you to sleep.
I'm very impressed with the genetics and even more impressed by the quality of the grow. You can tell it's a small scale artisan ting. You can tell these plants have been loved, not exploited.
I'm very pleased I got enough to stash a nug or two away for a long-cure treatment as well. Blueberry type strains tend to do amazing things on that front.
It's only my 3rd order with Druid's Magic, but it's enough to know I'm going to try and routinely purchase every single release. Delightful.

Tidy review mate 🤜
I’m loving mine, gets better each day in the cure jar, for flavour and potency imo.
Trouble is, how quick is smoking it 🥶

Curing it yourself? Any tips or general pointers would be greatly appreciated. Had a google and it recommends keeping it in a airtight jar, breathing twice to three times daily. I'm sure there's more to it.
Yeah just put it glass jar mate.
I used old jam jar and horseradish sauce, though that took some cleaning to get rid of smell lol
Just burp it (lid off) for 10 mins a day really all I do and it works a treat.
Requires more burping if more wet to remove moisture and get humidity right.
Better still you can get little packs that keep it perfect humidity 👍

Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Is there an upper limit to doing this? I presume you don't want to over cure it and have it bone dry.
I’ve found in glass jar it keeps long old time.
If going for ages though get a bovida humidity pack for the jar mate 🤜

Thank you for your time in writing such a lovely review, it honestly means alot 😊
Thank you ❤️🙏
Thank you ❤️🙏
Nice review ma man! I could not agree more on 99% for the report.
You can tell these plants have been loved, not exploited. The best way I have heard it described.
Diffidently one of the best smokes I have purchased all year. With only one other that comes even close (That's not including the other Druid weres)
I had a smoke of this and it melted my face off. I also shared some with a mate who is a "Monster" and it melted his face. Now I am in no way a monster but I do use cannabis products daily lol
I know different strains and/or products effect people in different ways of course.
Is the effect it had on you due to your tolerance level ? Or did you just find it not as potent as other flower you have had?
If it's the latter what have you smoked in the last year (as due to the month seems fitting) that you would say is as strong if not stronger?
Honestly Potency @ 85% is the only point that I would contend.
As I said loved the read and just interested on how the 85% was decided.
Thanks again for the good read and take it easy

Cheers Dazzler - you can obviously take my specific % with a little grain of salt. It's all pretty subjective, after all.
My scale of reference is partly just down to tolerance. I dab daily and also dabble in high end hashes. So it would take a monstrously strong bit of bud to score a 95% (100% being almost unachievable).
It may well have a very high THC content, but because the high is so well balanced (for me) it's not stoney enough to send me to sleep, nor buzzy enough to send me into a paranoid frenzy. It hits a sweet spot with the effects - so I can blaze quite a lot of this without necessarily feeling too 'stoned' or 'high' (so I have, it's gorgeous!).
I generally prefer something around this potency - but happy with weaker and stronger.
In the last year - to very vague recollections, there'd be a handful of buds that I'd have ranked higher on potency. Most recently - Keep It Green's Northern Lights. Given the more old school genetics, it's possible that is a lower THC strain - but that was also grown to perfection and to me, the effects just hit harder. It's got some stoney weight behind it that is more prominent to me (full review forthcoming, but that will be closer to 90% for potency IMO).
Another fairly recent one... Canadian Imports' Sunset Mints (or maybe Kush Mints?). That smacked me up and down. That'll edge over 90% for me.
There's a few other examples sourced from elsewhere... but it's worth pointing out I have tried a lot from littlebiggy. In this price range, most of the others I'd be scoring in the 70s - and a fair few lower than that.
But it's all just my opinion. I'm no one to declare fact on these things; and I welcome the scrutiny, thank you!
Hopefully I can bring more perspective to my own inane ramblings by writing a few more reviews. And maybe some top 10 2022 lists...
Dankberry would definitely feature.

ilsenator thank you for the great response to the question 🙋♂️ just what I was looking for and why I love the topics wall. People must see my name and think I am on here 24/7 (don’t answer that lol)
Yea dabs would do that to your T have a few mates that dab daily and like you they still enjoy flower but it’s never getting you even close to the level of THC in concentres.
I have only just started to dip my toe in the science 🧪 weed but have been very mindful of the effect that it has on your tolerance. So only been occasionally dipping in and out.
Keep it greens Northern lights was a great smoke 💨 and a very good example of a well grown bit of green. So again totally agree. Not tried the others but you summed up they way I think insane or not lol 😂 for me it comes down to the
When where and why 🤷♂️ just they way i process it
I love a good sativa leaning product like mimosia or hashin’s landrace hash and not just chasing the THC level. So again the THC level might be much lower but that’s what I’m enjoying.
But if I want a total meltdown then this level of flower or my occasional dab will do the damage.
Like you say I’m also no expert in the slightest at all and all you can give is your honest opinion.
Probably like most people on here that use the topics and read the reports. You get to know the taste profiles they like and how they reach their opinion on what they are reviewing.
So I can then make my own judgment if it’s for me or not.
So if I’m looking for hash I talk to one bigga
Flower well everyone
Vape stuff another
Everything LB well we all know who that is 😉
And to yourself and others that take the time to write up the reports. Thank you 🙏
So it does not take someone from special branch to work out what I was aiming at.
So for example if this is a 85% for you and your next review you score it a 70% than knowing what I know now I can then adjust that to my own scale to a 55% ect More so now that you have given some other great examples.
I really liked the way you broke your review down at the end as it then selfishly gives me a better idea on how you reached your conclusion.
So please keep the reports coming when you can.
And really appreciate the response
FYI you think you have inane ramblings don’t look at my page. Stoned and a keyboard is a good/bad combo whatever way you look at it.

although this reply wasn't aimed for me this was still very informative as I'm always trying find the highest quality vendors. Potency is everything for me so CI and keep it green is my next try, thanks again.
I'd strongly suggest you get into concentrates buddy, as 90% of cannabis flower being produced these days with the kind of "knockout" effects you seem to be looking for is contaminated with synthetics.
Get yourself a dab rig and some shatter, (or look into the Rosin Druids will be listing soon).
My best mate is just the same as you and can't get a decent high from good quality cannabis. Bought him a dab rig, made some BHO and bingo, he's off his chops again.
Cannabis flower needs to be protected for what it's supposed to be, which isn't about melting your face off, or knocking you out, it's about creativity, laughter and being able to smoke and then function in a 'relatively' normal way whilst being happy and high (that's my opinion anyway).
I just feel that what you (and many others) are looking for isn't something cannabis flower provides, unless, like i said, it's contaminated with synthetics... which is a fucking terrible road to go down.
Just my 2p
.
All the best.
Cheers BB 😊👍💚

Hey BB, nice to see you.
I can definitely get the highs I'm after from good enough, natural weed. I know this from experience, most recent being DM's strains.
I know some of my comments may seem like I'm after completely different effects, but really I'm just after some high THC weed to chase after my tolerance haha and that's all there is to it.
Like with this dank I can pack a fat bowl sandwiched with keif and feel wonderful.
A tolerance break might be a good shout, like you suggested concentrates have been on my mind but I've heard It's real heavy on your tolerance. Actual good flower still hitting for me anyways.
Bare in mind this is really only my first time trying some actual high qual smoke, couple others but most of the time its average in all aspects.
I do understand where you are coming from with wanting to still function, personally I like heavy indica doms to mong out after work which does the trick for me and puts a smile on my face, down to preference like you said, and no synthetics involved.
Or if I'm making music I'd like an energetic sativa where I'm feeling more energetic and creative, love the uplifting feeling from sativas.. basically the effects you described.
There's a whole debate weather sativas/indicas are even a thing and accurate but either way some mong you out more than others naturally.
I will try some of your smoke on Jan and It will probably be spot on.. have a nice Christmas mate.

Gotcha. "monging out" and "couch lock" I enjoy too👍, especially after a days graft, but I don't want to be a dribbling mess!
Great post and I'm 100% in agreement.
Have a lovely Christmas too buddy. 🎄🤶
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

for real dazzler melted my face off too and I smoke a lot.
Nice heavy hybrid effects, powerful uplifting feeling joined by a heavy head-stone and my body relaxing pretty good.
bros probably been smoking them jungleboys packs, some of their buds are easily on the same scale as Dank just way more pricier, I'm sure you've seen the prices.
But what a fucking bargain on the dankberry though. You see oz's for 400+ on here that are shit. DM is doing right on 300, I'm sure if they did sell oz's out of customs It would be cheaper too.

lol I've only ever tried Cali packs a couple of times. I sort of understand why people go for it (assumed potency and fabulous marketing) but I'm not looking to spend that much. I mean, it's nice to feel safe about the level of quality - but the same (and better) is still available elsewhere...
You could well put this Dankberry in a diecut foil pack with some graff art on and flip it for twice the price. (Please don't!!!)
I haven't really messed with Cali since the whole pack/branding thing kicked off. It used to be standard for me, but too much skullduggery in the last few years - and it's easy enough to avoid.
(cheers LB and big love to Druids Magic ;)

thanks, you seem to know what you're talking about. Would you say the dank is on same level as some/most cali packs? I know you said you could probably flip it for twice the price
If you're talking about potency and 'absolute potential' I've not really tried enough Cali Packs to know... but I do know there isn't an infinite ceiling to how well bud can be grown/cured. And this is very, very good. How close to the ceiling it is doesn't really matter at this level.
I'm sure you can find marginally stronger bud in cooler packs at twice the price. Or you can just add an extra 0.2g in your spliff and negate the difference.
On the levels I judge - this is way superior to Cali packs. I'm the kinda dude that buys beers from local breweries and shops at local markets. Small-scale interactions with small-scale traders and artisans. That's where the love, fun and joy is at.
I prefer a pint of local pale ale and a little baggy of something like this Dankberry; to a can of Red Bull Vodka with a Cali pack of whatever.
These buds just look/smell/feel more natural. This isn't a steroid-freak boulder bud crusty with rainbow frosting... it's a gorgeous, catwalk flower; that hits pretty much the same.
Horses for courses, but overall, this top level either way.

I think the only comparison with JB and some other Cali packs is that on this occasion DM have chosen high potency seeds that match or even exceed JB averages. I’ve had 24 Druid strains and they are not normally this strong.
Obviously legal Cali grows are commercially grown in high volumes and tested consistency and they will charge what the market will pay. By contrast a Druid harvest may be less than 10 plants across the strains. It’s pure craft and unlike JB where the nugs all seem largely the same like supermarket apples every grow is what it is. I’ve had leafy, fluffy, dense, loose, dark, light, etc etc that you never see in JB.
So no, just because DM have chosen to go full strength I don’t think that merits a comparison to Cali packs. The Druids simply blow away commercial grows (and regardless of price).
The irony is that if the Druids grew in a country where it was legal, they wouldn’t be able to open The Grove door for gold cups! 😂🏆🥇

Hit the nail on the head there, Polly.
JB's got the shiniest apples in the supermarket. DM's got the cutest apple-cart at the farmers' market.

you seem to know your shit too!.. thanks a lot for all that info Polly.
Although I'm smoking up all the time, I'm still not as educated as I'd like to be with cannabis.
"I have had 24 druid strains and are not usually this strong"
huh.. what was the umme like?
Although DM seems they will have good enough grows whatever the case, personally I'm hoping they stick with the highest potency strains.. stronger the better for me.
But let's face it even if you don't like strong stuff you could just ration it anyways so it would last you longer, and In DM's case still save you some cash.
Would also avoid the people who give lower ratings because it "didn't hit hard enough" which does happen often, which would probably me me in all fairness lmao

Umme was probably my all time favourite 😻…a real power indica with the ultimate balanced chill. It would be in the high 20’s THC. I’m still enjoying it!…I often say if I have a real shitty day, Umme will save me! (and it does!)
But I think Druids will be staying with the high strengths and Anesia seeds in 2023…. check these out: The Sin, Oracle Octane & Cash Cow- mind blowing🤯
I’m personally persuading them to grow Mimosa Evo from Barneys Farm- wish me luck! 🤩

Hi Polly,
“But I think Druids will be staying with the high strengths and Anesia seeds in 2023…. check these out: The Sin, Oracle Octane & Cash Cow- mind blowing🤯”
Suits their M.O. Have you heard this from the Druids’ mouth?

We're both growing Anesia Seeds now. The latest from me is Anesia Seeds Amnesia Flash, the next is Anesia Seeds MAC.
Druids do a lot of the more special strains than I do, I've just stuck with the classics, but the seedbank can be absolutely clarified.
I speak to DM a lot and anything that team are growing is genuine, and inevitably great.
I'll vouch for them 100%.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻💚

hey polly you already know I've been looking at all the anesia seeds!;) all look crazy agreed! I'm sure they'll also take your considerations into mind, keep on persuading and let's hope we won't have to wait too long!
Interesting about the Umme, though. Guess high 20's is still pretty decent and wish I could've tried.
And keep it green does actually look fire also, from seeing you lot talk about them, feel stupid for not ever having a look but the stuff they got up at the moment.. the northern lights looks beautifully grown as do the others.
Got a very solid vendor list now I'd say that I'll be using regularly:D the recent one i recommended you though not so sure on yet.. lol

Hehe..yeah not too sure myself about your guys! 😉
I’ve got the Northern Lights from KIG…lovely grow of a classic end of night indica! Also had the Baked In Paris which is excellent…don’t think you can go wrong 👍👍

Hope nobody minds me jumping in here. I wanted to comment on the comparison to calipacks and JB in particular. Firstly, respect to ilsenator for an excellent review, couldn't agree with it more, including your comments on potency.
I've been lucky enough to try DM's DB and FBC, as well as various calipacks from TGD, including a couple of JB packs, and I'd like to comment on the 'THC strength' comparison. DM's offerings have been absolutely amazing but I personally haven't found them to be as strong as some reviewers have. We all know that the THC strength listed on the seed packet doesn't necessarily mean the final grow will be at that %. Going by other smokes I've had (particularly calipacks listed between 25-30% THC) I don't think the DM crops can be as high as 35%. I've had various calipacks that feel around the same strength or higher, and the 2 JB packs I had were definitely stronger - not ridiculously so but definitely stronger. I should say that all of my calipacks have been from TGD, I haven't tried any other vendors'. With TGD's calipacks, I'd recommend *anything* by DojaPak and The Ten Co, as well as JB. In my opinion they're definitely at least *as strong* as DM's wares, and the flavours are much more pronounced and more to my liking.
That's the strength and flavour comparisons - now, if we're talking about the overall quality and, particularly, *the effect* then DM's wares are absolutely top tier and definitely some of the nicest smokes I've had since joining LB. That lovely, dreamy, trance-y effect is a perfect match for what I'm looking for in terms of effect/high. Everything is obviously subjective - the highs from the calipacks are excellent but just not as suited to me personally as DM's grows.
TGD's calipacks have been the nicest for me in terms of flavour (and excellent highs), the JB packs are definitely the strongest smokes I've ever had (and, with the Kush Sorbet, certainly the most 'euphoric'), and DM's crops have been the nicest in terms of effect/high. Cost aside, if I could only have one strain and had to choose between DM and TGD's calipacks then I'd have to choose DM because the effect/high is such a good match for me - but I'd quickly miss the taste and experiences of the calipacks. As I said in my calipacks review, the JB packs are just too strong for me to smoke all the time.
As other more experienced biggas have pointed out, you can't really compare to the two - they're both top tier in their own different ways. I love that TGD make the calipacks available, and I've really enjoyed sampling that quality over this last year. DM's crops are just something else entirely - as many people have said it's as though the love and care for the crops really comes through in the effect/high. All excellent smokes but if it's *strength* in particular you're looking for then there are other products on LB that are definitely stronger. But, hey, maybe strength isn't everything...?!!! 🙂. I'm reminded of the time me and some friends chose seeds to grow - my friends all chose seeds with the supposedly highest THC and I chose what I know I like, regardless of the strength. Sure enough, when the grow was complete, my strains were the nicest in terms of flavour, smoothness and effect/high, and I had to fight to keep hold of what was mine!!!
As an aside, when we're talking about 'couch lock' or 'monginess', I have to say that I just don't get those effects anymore since being on LB. I don't know whether that's a tolerance thing or something else? High % indicas and sativas don't get me like that, and 30%+ THC doesn't get me like that either. In terms of tolerance I'm just an old-school joint smoker (with rolling tobacco).
Have had many trips to Amsterdam and other cannabis-friendly countries, been smoking for 35+ years and don't think I've had a day off in 15+ years.
Cannabis-wise I haven't tried anything stronger than joints and vapes, haven't dabbed or anything like that (yet). So where's my monginess gone?!!! Is it all down to tolerance or could it be anything to do with getting better grown (properly flushed and cured) weed? I'd welcome the thoughts of more experienced smokers/growers.
Finally, just want to echo BB's comments about keeping flowers as they are and not continuously trying to achieve higher strengths. DM's grows (and BB's own grows) are masterful in terms of love, care and attention, creating all-round excellent products, and biggas who put strength at the top of the list might be better off looking into other methods. I'll definitely try dabbing soon, but more just to see what it's like - strength-wise I'm very happy with the flowers already available here and I don't want my tolerance to increase further.

Nice to read all your input CO- thanks for sharing.👍
I’m firmly in the camp that the best highs I have ever had have not been from the strongest gear. But it’s great to experiment, I tend to rotate through something different every day…😶🌫️
We are so lucky!🤩💥

"The best highs I have ever had have not been from the strongest gear." Exactly the point I was trying to make, and I couldn't agree more, Polly 👍. DM have given me the nicest high since joining. Now, if only I could learn to say that in one simple sentence rather than a few paragraphs... 😉😂👍
For the quality of the gear it sure was benjiwby.
I love the other options of people and that’s the point but I’m genuinely interested on the reasoning behind the 85%
As you say the THC level is on par with jungle boys.
I was given a few grams of jungle boys off a very good friend and in my humble opinion I would purchase Druids over them. Even if you take the price away I would still go with Druids. 100%

I'm glad u mentioned that as I was curious about the quality of the likes of such, in comparison
Imagine I smoked most of the pack with a near empty lighter so it wasn't hitting as hard.
I got bottom bits left of dankberry with a full lighter & my heads blown still lol

Right Just to make sure that I’m not mental and against my better judgment 🫣 I have just loaded a full oven in the dyna of Dank
For clarification purposes only lol 😉

Up date so I have had one dyna oven in the past 3 hours and only now am I even considering another but it’s not going to be Dank as the missies wants to watch some pish on the tele 🤦♂️ wait maybe that’s the best idea 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ha ha ha
good to know it really is on par with jungle, I mean I said it was considering the THC levels of Dank supposedly match but didn't fully know for sure.
Good thing about frosty weed I've discovered is that you can build up a shit ton of keif to smoke, so will last you even longer than usual.. that's like, the best bit and the money saver.

Many a time the cheeky keif trap has saved me.
So I have been doing a small addition to the keif trap.
I’m sure this is nothing new but
I call them “Gimps” lol 😂
So when I get a new bit of hash I take some roll it into little balls and keep them in the kief try and every so often squash the re roll and repeat.
Every so often the words are said “Bring out the gimp” so at present I have a far few in the trap as I had a lucky run of some decent hash.
The fun part is that it’s a fucking lotto as after a good bit. There is no chance knowing what is what add in the keif with them.
Good times
The stupid things we stoners do lol 😂

Hi Benji, check my post above about comparing DM and calipacks purely in terms of strength. Cheers 👍
Mine too. I met him once, getting his autobiography signed. I asked if I could kiss him. He said no because he wasn't gay. I told him that I wasn't either. And he came in close... like he was about to kiss me...
Then he flicked my crotch and trod on my toe.
But he proceed to draw a crude, annotated picture of him on his knees, performing fellatio.
One of the forever moments I hope gets flashbacked to me when I die. And hope got flashbacked to him when he died. I think it might have been.

The closest I got to him was sitting alongside his car in a Hammersmith traffic jam as he was raging in full Rick style…😂
I went to every Bottom Live..honestly thought I would do myself an injury through laughing so much…

Sticky Sativa
Hello.
I hope you Biggaz are well and your spirits are high thanks to all vendors grafting on here. I’m on the lookout for some potent sativas that have still retained some moisture- the last 4-5 purchases i’ve made have been very effective, just a little on the dry side for my preferences. I’m usually vaping and end up with ultra fine flower debris burning my throat- it doesn’t happen with the stickier stuff.
If anyone has any recommendations i’d love to hear them.
Bless up!

It could be your vaporizer's fault. Or you could try a coarser grind for the bud. Or you could try Boveda packs.
That last option is probably the easiest solution.

Thanks for the advice! I use boveda packs, although less frequently these days, as they hwve on more thsn one occasion led to mould.
i use a mighty with a water bong, or a volcano hybrid with silicon tube- i usually start around 180-185 degrees C and ramp up nearer the end to try and extract as much vapour as possible.
I have just found that the sticker buds tend to provide a better high, but maybe i should look at boveda again.
cheers :-)

Keep it green has strawberry ammo also. Which was on point 👌

Hay brother, Yeah I make temple balls with mine... This one was fire
I smoked this one last year haha.
Damage depends on how long I age them for. But typically I smoke them because A they are fire and B people don't like splashing out because they don't understand what a temple ball is.
I may make some for around xmas time, Test the waters on LB ok :).
Be looking around 30-50££ per G.

I think you are going to need a 1 or 2g option on that or the price is just too big a risk even at Xmas🤷♂️🎅
I think I'm not wrapping up teeny tiny 1g balls in an oxygen protected wrap for however long I feel like aging them for. Once I've wrapped them, They stay wrapped till someone smokes one.
But I'll keep that in mind incase there's a chance more might be around in another years time or maybe two.
Merry Christmas

$190 minimum purchase from a vendor with 15 sales It is then?
Sorry about your ‘wrapping’ issues.
Good luck guys👍

Because you know me so well. Wrapping issues lol you understand oxygen and light degrades bud/hash/concentrates yes?
Its the little touches that make the difference. But hay maybe someone with 0 sales and 0 buy's knows so much. Or maybe just spends all day trolling the topics I dunno. I obviously don't spend much time on here.

Weird, last time I counted I had over 90 buys, but don’t let accuracy get in the way of a slagging huh?
It was actually a constructive comment, but hey ho🤷♂️
Enjoy your sales chaps….😉

Just imagine wrapping up tiny 1g balls of rosin. Its not going to look like much of a temple ball right?
Probably more of a mess than anything.
I really appreciate the constructive criticism.
But chances are you won't see these again from me. As I'll be smoking them.
Just thought I'd make a little more and treat some biggy's.

It's all good, DankPants... I sense you might well know what you're doing. If this is genuinely a proper effort at a Frenchy style Temple Ball, aged for 6 months... I might dip a toe in.
Unless you're a hash nerd, this won't be worth it. But that's the right wrap and the right size for temple ball treatment.
Then it's a supply/demand thing. People stretch almost this far for (far less potent) Cali bud packs. It is very expensive... but these sort of things don't crop up often (and when they do, I'd guess it'd be from a small scale hobbyist).
This might well be my festive treat. A relatively unproven vendor maybe... but then this isn't a typical commercial product.
Gonna sleep on this particular decision, making my final 2022 purchases this week x

Just to add... the last UK temple ball I bought off here about 18 months ago (can't remember who from) was almost this price. And absolutely banging.
I've still got a bit left. It's still gooey, mad potent and even more delicious.

Anyone know of decent vendors with good quality squidgy Moroccan hash that has that red seal feel, soft oily and fairly potent but doesn’t have to be knock your head off strong U.K. vendors preferably please biggaz? Cheers in advance

The Leb for me gives me a real old school vide not soft and oily but really reminds me of hash I smoked 20 years ago wen it was all you could get lol
Yeah I agree definitely the smell,teleported back to the early 90s with that one very nice stuff.
Pirate bay hash from eddys hashbar that looks and sounds like ye old school black just put a order in,I’m into my old school hash/black from back in the day,I’ll let you know what it looks and effects are like 👍
Now that sounds nice, I’m hoping to order in the next couple of days in time for Xmas so I’ll check it out. Let me know how you get on mate, and cheers! :)
How about some super sticky, potent Golden Ketama, i think this may be right up your street.
Perhaps the stickiest hash i've ever had.
Perhaps the stickiest hash i've ever had.
I think Red Seal was actually from Afghanistan/Pakistan. There's not much 'squidgy' around these days... and when I have seen it, it's been pretty awful. It always was quite contaminated... but back in the day we were comparing it to soapbar, so it was fire :lol:
Few people would bother trying to traffic (by modern standards) quite shit hash all the way from Asia, when there's much better, cheaper, abundant hash so much closer.
I get the nostalgia thing. But 'red seal' these days is barely smokeable. If you can find the real-deal Afghan/Pakistani squidgy, the uncontaminated 'cream'... it will be hugely expensive and more-than knock your head off.
Just look for any hash that works out between $7-$10 from a well-reviewd vendor. You'll get your kicks.

Loads of squidgy options available at my hash bar dude come check them out.

When I think of 'squidgy/black' I think of the Afghan style - a tackier hash made by pounding kief over heat.

Best energising strain on LB?
Hey all,
Pretty new to LB and grass in general, I've been dry herb vaping since January. I've only really went for indicas that send me into couch lock so far.
I'm wanting to look at some more energising strains for me and my girlfriend but I'm really stuck for choice on this site. Reviews on Leafly make it seem like it's placebo, I've seen people rate the same strains as both relaxing and energising.
What are the more energising strains from reputable vendors that you have gotten?

Lemony/citrusy bud with skunky undertones are what you want for a nice daytime uplift imo - experiment to find the right strains for you as it is very individual (imo) but if you go for the skunky/lemony strains you'll find a daytime winner :) Try some Lemon Tree or Grapefruit, Mimosa like Polly says too is good and Lemon Ammi is a much underrated smoke.
You are right that a lot of seemingly contradictory claims are made for the same strains, but I guess part of that is that we all experience our highs in our own ways?
I’m a big indica fan, but I find Mimosa (70% sativa) always makes me crank up the music and the air guitar gets a real pounding😂😂
My other favoured strain that works for me cerebrally (if that’s a word!) I.e. for problem solving is Peyote Critical, although you don’t see that around much. I can resolve some of the great dilemmas of our time on that. Can too! 🤩👍

Strain genetics etc are only part of the story - if buds are harvested later into flowering, they'll have a more soporific stone than early harvested buds, for instance.
Also, sheer THC quantity makes an impact. No matter how 'uplifting' the first few tokes might be... smoke enough and the effect of 'too much' THC will move towards couchlock (Hazes a great example).
My go-to classic for an energetic buzz is Sour Diesel. But on the menus right now? Probably Acapulco Gold from Keep It Green.
Another tip if you're vaping... keep it at lower temperatures for a more heady high. Turn the temps up higher for a heavier stone. And that rule of thumb works with any strain...

Can you vape hash?
I’ve been vaping my bud for the past year now as I find it to be a much nicer high and you can really taste the flavours but I do get tempted by all the delicious looking hash on LB so wondered if it’s possible to vape? I’m using a pax 3 and occasionally use the concentrate insert for wax so does anyone know if vaping hash would work?
I have used a “Mighty” vape with hash it has an adjustable temperature and plenty of accessories for different stuff, works great for me. Little pad of steel wool for oil, also chamber at the top Collects wax like resin after being used to vape hash, can be scraped out and makes for a great smoke
I use a dynavap with cotton bacon(vaping fibre) you can get it from Amazon or eBay, then you don't mess up your screen.
you can at a high heat, but hash leaves alot of oily residue which will block parts of the vape or insert
Thanks mate. I’ve got some high quality dry sift on the way which I might try dabbing but if it doesn’t melt make some rosin. I’ve not tried making it before so could be a fun experiment!
You need to be looking at full-melt bubblehash if you're trying to dab it, dry sift won't really work. You can vape hash though... just a bit fiddly. Like Zappytrocar said, the residue is the main problem... so I put hash into cotton wool, or wrap it in hemp fibre, then put it in the vape (this means you can pull out the whole oily residue mess along with the cotton etc). I've got a dedicated Dynavap just for hash.
Couldn’t find hemp fibre but found a 80% cotton, 20% hemp blend that’s used for e cig wicks and it’s worked a treat. The process will take some refining and I’m puffing on my crafty as I write so haven’t seen the mess yet but I’m certainly enjoying this Porsche stamp dry sift. Thanks! And thanks to grumpybloke if you read this as you also suggested the same! - update - no mess whatsoever!
Good question as I have been asking and thinking about it also so thank you 😊 everyone for the info.
That’s why the topics page has been so helpful. I used to get my gear and log off but now I love the topics bit because of info like this 👌

Been looking at this which might be a solution 🤷🏻♂️
I only really touch hash and I use a s&b crafty plus which does a nice job of vaping.
You have to put in a little insert/pad thingy and have it on a higher heat setting but you really taste the hash and it has the desired effect obvs.
I don’t know about the pax 3 but I’m sure it’ll do the trick.

I've vaped hash in several vapes - you usually need a higher heat setting, but depends on the hash. I used to use a little pure cotten pad that I'd rest the hash on purely to catch any residue as it can a pain to clean otherwise.
Vaping hash can be a lovely experience, good luck!

Yes definitely! Best way IMO is to mix your hash with your weed in a grinder , then the hash is small enough to vape quickly and melt onto the weed so it all doesn’t turn into a puddle ;)
Certainly 👍👍
I’m about to hit up the Vapman with a Sunday Double Bill : Afghan Black to start followed by Bubble Hash. These work just great but melty hashes will do just that-melt- which is going to cause too much of a mess in the oven.
The Mighty dosing capsules for concentrates work with most things, but the Vapman is exceptional with the right hash..🤩

I have picked up a flower mate for next to nothing to give hash a try in it. Anyone had any experience with it and best advice
Cheers in advance only just got it so just having a mess about with bud in it. Of course it has a separate chamber but how is it with hash?
Going to get a Dynavap at some point seen a BB3 starter kit for £45 quid give or take

This is an old post. I’ve since got a dynavap that I use for hash as you can get a higher heat and it works brilliantly. I use cotton hemp fibre and wrap up a little hash package for vaping.
I have a dynavap and have vaped hash but then had to clean it out. I have not heard of this cotton hemp fibre bit before, but it sounds like it's just what I need!!
This is the stuff

Hi Leanbean,
Depends on the quality as if its a lower grade you will be burning all sorts of other crap.
We have added link for our A+++ grade Monaco.
Have a great day :)

Any Lager Drinkers?
Whats your fave. Visited a place last night and the selection was massive. Too much choice maybe and struggled to pick lol.
I just stuck with brewdog - lost lager. Quite enjoyed it and think I tried Hazy Jane also which had quite a grapefruit after taste.
Any suggestions on something really nice to look out for next time?

Good choice mate, I love that stuff. Leffe tonight, nice stuff but a headache in a bottle for me lol!
Did you know there are a dozen different Leffe beers on draft (and up to 9% abv 😵💫) and you can drink them all at home?…I have! 😋🥰

Ahhh Leffe, another wonderful beer. I agree though you can’t have too many without a banging skull ache the next day.
I went on a beer tasting course bought for me as a birthday present which i wasn't really looking forward to, but thought what the hell, I'll give it a go.
Absolutely fascinating evening. The amount of information about different types of beer, hops, malt, wheat, even the types of glass you're supposed to drink various beers from was mind boggling. There's so much to it if you scratch under the surface.
One example I remember is a Belgian beer called Duval, which when poured into the correct glass actually separates into two distinctly different parts, the bottom is cloudy and the top is clear. Was like magic!
Anyway I'm rambling again, but in terms of lager, I've recently tried 'Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier' which is a German beer made in what is allegedly the oldest brewery in the world. I don't normally care for gimmicks but this stuff is bloody lovely. It seems like they've worked out how to make a good lager in the past 900+ years!
Well worth a try if you see a bottle.
Cheers BB 🍻😊👍

Ah that's a lovely one that. I've had it before and it's really nice! Never seen it in pubs and that though. I had it from a local shop not so long back.
My all time favorite. But there is so much good stuff out there. Also digging the Beavertown IPA's.
👍❤️👍…I drink Kwak on draft via a PerfectDraft set up…amazing stuff. Second only to Tripel Karmeleit (8%)!
OMG, I think I need a PerfectDraft now. Is it a good system?
Karmaliet is the wife's favorite too.

PerfectDraft is great, I’ve got two, been using them for years, Keg return is free and easy with a fiver back on the keg. Quality of dispense is better than the pub, plus you can’t buy these beers in the pub! 😍

ABK Hell, only found this gem last year but it’s blown everything else out of the water my new no 1 by far. Only found it in 2 pubs within 40 miles of me and found it in my local budgens.

Never heard of that one mate. Defo keep my eyes open though Camden Hells is what I thought you meant and that's lush too!
I think you’ll like a desperado, if u spill some and let it dry it smells exactly like marijuana lol
The best UK brewery for lager, in my opinion, is Pillars (East London). I usually drink ales, IPAs etc... but when summer hits, cold lager wins. And they definitely know what they're doing.
The Tempest Brewery Lagers are amazing and they have beer festivals and you can try them all. They even have an Oompah band. Normally I go for Stella or Fosters when supermarket slumming LOL!
Not the usual lager but a Deperados beer works a treat with you favourite bit of green imo!

Cannabis legalisation UK
So... I'm sure this topic predates my membership of LB, but I'm surprised at how rarely it seems to come up.
This has got to be one of the biggest communities of cannabis users & cultivators in the UK; surely we are best placed to mobilise and push the legalisation agenda?
Are there any activists out there? What can we do to help? There is an election on the horizon - is this not a vote-winner?

I obviously have skin in the game so my opinion may be biased, but i would be careful what you wish for in terms of legalisation.
In the states in many cases large corporations are squeezing smaller artisan growers out of the business. Once these corporations gain the majority market share inevitably (as always happens in these cases) the price goes up and the quality goes down. Not to mention the taxes the government will put on weed, which will be astronomical.
Eventually a 'grey' market is created where registered growers sell directly to customers rather than to dispensaries, which is essentially what already exists on here. The difference is that sellers on here could easily raise their prices if the 'legal' weed is hyper expensive due to taxes and corporate profits.
If you want to watch a documentary which covers this subject, along with many others, try ‘Murder Mountain’ on Netflix. It’s fantastic. There’s one particular episode that goes into detail about the legalisation process, the beurocracy and red tape that comes with it, how it negatively affects growers in Humbolt County, and eventually negatively impacts consumers.
Bottom line is nothing good ever comes from multinational businesses getting their teeth into things like cannabis, which as sure as the nose on my face they will if it becomes fully legal. Next thing you know people will be buying shitty weed from the Apple Store for £100 a gram.
Just my 2p though, I could be wrong.
Cheers. BB

yep, i went down the rabbit hole of documentaries re the various legal sates in the US and Canada and it looks pretty shit, strangely, especially from a Brit. Tbh as long as RM don't join the striking community I'm good having the postie deliver my illegal weed from here, from 'non apple types' .....
I'm sure the inner workings of the US industry are shit, but I personally had a great time going around all the dispensaries in California! It's hard to deny that they're pushing the standard of modern phenotypes to whole new level.
RM preparing to vote for strike action I am afraid! Would be one day only, and you should be supporting striking workers standing up against big business
Enjoyed reading this!
Personally, I think there is plenty of room for dual markets - i.e. artisanal & mass market - like with most consumables. Quality is always going to come at a premium, with or without prohibition. The UK is much smaller & left-leaning than the States so things like grower collectives could be much easier to organise. Tax is one of the best arguments for legalisation in my opinion... imagine modernising the social care system with all that revenue!
I think your point about grey markets is well made, I can imagine a situation where incredibly restrictive laws are put in place to stop grassroots marketplaces like LB existing. That would be something to avoid. Perhaps a more coffee shop style system would be better than dispensaries? i.e. 'from farm-to-table', but for weed?
I watched Murder Mountain a while back; again, I wonder if those American-style problems would find their way here? Jury's out!
I say leave kids to their shitty disposable vapes & let the grown-ups use up all the good stuff! There are big things at stake; standardised dosage (how much is too much?), international trade (Afghanistan can't sell one of their biggest crops!), reducing the prison population overnight etc.
I don't think you're wrong at all - I think these are the sorts of discussions that need to happen, and LB is the right place for it! 'The Reddit for British cannabis culture': has a ring to it!
All the best!

Im now a legal patient who has THC flower prescribed and it’s fucking brilliant. The flower isn’t best I’ve had but believe me I’ve had a lot worse.
If we were to stand together and legalise then my advice would be to jump through the legal hoops and all become patients, however like BB said, we might ruin everything that we hold dear.
If you would like more info on how to become legal then please feel free to DM at any time.

i respect what you are saying but on a base level it disgusts me that we plead with anyone for what we as human beings wish to do harmlessly, like they own us somehow.
taking real action with like minded people, building a community with better commercial behavior than what the law enforces and controlling my identity and privacy, i'd rather be a bigga than a beggar.

Point very well made. I agree on a personal level, but it's hard to ignore the negative impact prohibition has on wider society. I worked a teaching role a few years ago and sniffer dogs were ready at the entrance to bust kids! Made me so angry. Surely that approach to weed (of all things!) has to end!?
I got sniffed so much - smell clings to leather shoes, phone case etc - that they gave me a sort of amnesty, probably because I was clearly sober at work. The kids thought it was hilarious!

It's not a vote-winner in the UK, unfortunately. There's very little political motivation to legalise. Even though broad sentiment towards cannabis in the UK is tolerant, it might lose some votes for the Tories - and Starmer doesn't support legalisation. Sadiq Khan's the only one taking an interest.
That might be a good thing. If Sadiq Khan pushes for legalisation/liberalisation in London, we could end up with that happy medium of 'official tolerance'. We all want to be able to smoke openly/socially and have nice places to do so.
The only other impetus behind legalisation is economic. And that's something the current Tory lot might be very open to. Sadly, I think that's how it would happen if it does anytime soon. And then, like @British Bulldog says, the whole scene will get whack-a-moled with corporate hammers.

This is a market place. Plenty of sites for activists of all types elsewhere
Although,to be honest,there isn't a good legalization organization in the UK.
Hell, weeds virtually de facto decriminalized anyway

I respectfully disagree. There are plenty of marketplaces out there, none of them have an active forum - let alone one as active as this. The userbase on here dwarfs any legalisation group out there.
Agreed there is no coherent legalisation movement in the UK - exactly why I posted this topic!

To me it’s fucking ironic the U.K. is the largest producer of medical cannabis in the world yet it’s not legal, not even decriminalised. I honestly can’t believe the greedy bastards haven’t cottoned onto the tax angle of it yet, seems a total no brainer to me, the police are begging for it, the tax revenue left on the table is ridiculous, the jobs it would create. It’ll happen I have zero doubts but it’s the U.K. everything works at a snails pace in this regard, but I believe it’s happen fast when it does happen, first decriminalisation will suddenly happen then fully legality and weed shops will follow very soon after. Imo it could have been the UK’s real hook but as usual the powers that be miss a trick.
Totally agree, a whole new source of revenue potentially worth billions. The conversation always stagnates when it's simply about wealth distribution vs austerity... so many holes in public spending could be plugged virtually overnight.
Imo if we all worked together and smoked weed as often as possible outside police stations then they would have to stop arresting people. Otherwise they won’t have time for anything else;)
I had that exact thought last week! Imagine if the millions of cannabis smokers engaged in mass civil disobedience... Kind of like what happens in London every 4/20, except every weekend.
I see many petitions on direct gov about cannabis legalisation but not many people vote for it?

Hi Lads
As a grower I'm 100% confident that my best strains/ grows will hold their own against most, but the demand for the unusual/ different and exotic is stronger than ever.
So the Question is, what makes real Cail weed better ? Or Dutch import for that matter.
If I get top end genetics ( seeds ) as a starting point, why cant I equal or better cali weed ?
Genetics are what they are, and theres no secret way that only our US friends know of too growing weed.
Good genetics/ good nutrients ( possibly organic) / good growing environment ( lights extraction, stable temps etc and cured the right way.
I personally think it's a bit of a trend thing a bit like supposed wine connoisseurs... get a group of smokers to try 2 good UK grown stains and 2 cail and most people couldn't pick the supposedly more superior product imo

Personally I think Cali and Dutch herb is better than UK weed and I’ve smoked a shit tonne of Dutch weed living there in the mid 00’s... why? Simply because it’s legal... you don’t have to rush, hide away, worry constantly, they’re doing it on a legal industrial scale so the equipment is better, they can invest in the newest and best equipment without fear of losing it all in a raid, purely and simply it’s investment that makes legal weed better.
Also a big factor is in the U.K. we have to buy what’s available if it’s shit it’s shit, wait and hope the next lot from your dealer is better, in legal countries it’s competition there is recourse for the product.... I had XXX weed from XXX grower and it was the bomb goes far and makes money, rather than I bought some banging weed off Gary in the dog and duck in Grimsby means fuck all unless you know Gary and live in Grimsby... accountability is the difference imo.
Can weed be grown as well in the UK as Cali or Dam... 100% it’s a seed it grows, no rocket science behind it or a special formula just freedom, time and equipment and experience.

100% mate, I DO believe there is some grade around that just couldn't be produced to that quality and volume in some cloak and dagger growhouse operation here.
I see a lot more coming from Canada, and there's been routes from Dam, Poland and elsewhere for green in as long as it's been here. However with the right genetics, knowledge and conditions I believe you can grow truly A*** green anywhere, just not sure you can do it on an industrial scale in a country that continues to throw so much of the law's resources to shutting them down.
As others have said the equipment used, testing, level of quality control, the manicured buds, the density, the quality, the taste...there is definitely something..different around, that never was before the "Cali" phase. Hype or otherwise.
Where it comes from I have no idea but there has been a huge change in the strength and amount that's around.
The problem I have is the grey area between what is genuine Top Shelf and what isn't. The marketing has muddied the waters and pushed up the price and cache of average weed that sparkles a bit.
Fact is no matter what, I draw the line somewhere. When we were kids it was 3.5 for 25 quid, last time I went to Dam it was €20 on the gram. I just will never reach to some of those levels and even on here you will see up to £70-80 a henry. Doesn't matter where it's grown, flown....budget dictates for me.
There has always been a top level, and as long as that reflects in the product we can all be happy.

The fact that theres power sellers on eBay getting rich off selling thousands of shitty tins/tubes and stickers advertising exotic cali strains says it all. Theres no telling the "connoisseurs" who pay £400+ an ounce, that their "cali" more than likely originates from someones bedroom tent in the same town :)
The fact that it's even possible to get "Cali" grown outside of California says it all really, it's become a type of brand name. If some one grows a bit of Amnesia I've never heard them call it UK grown Amsterdam.... it makes no sense.
"Cali" is the kind of thing we have to worry about if we ever go legal or whatever, it's just big American companies trying to steamroller over everyone else. Same old shit, different market.
We definitely need to make sure we look after our UK growers going forward, we do DANK better on this side of the pond anyway. Let's get a whole range of Cheese's going I say :P
Nothing wrong with Cali mind I might be being a bit harsh but we do have to be careful though.

There are good reasons why someone might choose Cali or Dutch over UK bud, but I think the rationale behind it has been somewhat drowned up by hype/fashion. But ultimately, Cali or Dutch bud should - in theory - come from more accountable growers. 'Real Cali' is tested, and it's quality verified - that will be appealing to people whose 'street' purchases might be questionable. Same goes for Dutch, to a degree. In as much as if this is sold in a coffee shop, it has to compete with all bud in all coffee shops, and is therefore expected to be of higher quality.
There are also legacy reasons, possibly. Pre-legalisation, I used to get bud in from Cali - I've long believed the best outdoor grows come from that region, and I like outdoor grows! But the geography of the 'Golden Triangle' in Cali does offer the ideal growing environment - but with modern genetics close to hand (unlike more traditional growing regions). The sheer number of smokers/growers there also led to the early(ish) medical legalisation there, which also helped the scene. California deserves its reputation as the home of amazing cannabis - but certainly not everything from there is great these days (I suspect the black market here is largely their rejects!). Similarly, Amsterdam's been the home of modern genetics on this side of the ocean, with the coffeeshop scene encouraging at least a base level of quality.
UK bud doesn't have that same provenance. There are some famous cuts, sure - Exodus, Blues etc. But nothing else that implies any guarantee of quality. But, of course, with the same seeds and equipment, there's no reason UK bud couldn't theoretically compete with the best. Indeed, nearly all the best buds I've ever had have been UK grown. I'd never specifically choose Dutch over UK and I actively avoid marketed Cali in the UK (it's either fake, reject or over-priced!).
The one origin label that does prick my ears up is Canada. I believe their gear has a lot of the same advantages, but isn't exploited in the same way. If I want cheap, reliable quality, Canadian vendors top the charts. But for pristine high end, I stick with good growers of nice genetics in the UK.

Cali is Cali, you know when its from Cali, its got that certain... thing.
UK Cali, is just a cali strain grown here in the UK.
I know many people who will only smoke Real Cali. And many who say its not worth the extra price tag.
Personally, smoke/price the UK Grown hold their own just as well, if the growers done a good job.
The UK Cali strains just switch the flavours up a little bit so your not smoking the same thing all the time, and you can rely on the strain being a decent one.

UK Cali, is just a cali strain grown here in the UK.

I had alsorts of cali an tbf the only thing that's real good is how much they trim their leaves. but ive had just as good uk grown or in dam coffee shops so i think cali quality can be grown anywhere if you know how
Hi there. I really liked reading your post. You seem very knowledgeable. Would you be able to recommend good vendors on here? I’m knew and I’d appreciate the help.
Many thanks.
Peace.
Many thanks.

I agree 100%. And if it is Cali weed, surely traveling and packaging would have caused some damage from compression and heat changes and sitting in plastic bags for possibly days on end. If u get from a grower direct and they grow well, other than it being tested and having label saying how much THC etc it should be as good or better. BUT as legal they have more chance to hunt phenos and share genetics so they do have that in their side. But most Cali is probably Albanian weed in a nice baggy lol
If you have the right seeds and know what you're doing then there shouldn't be much difference, that said a lot of uk weed is rushed without the proper flushing and drying due to the risk of loosing it all when you could sell it.
I made my own cross back in 2003 with a pure haze (m) and a bubbleberry (f) to this day its the finest weed ive ever smoked! I only grew out two seeds and it went 14 weeks both phenos were almost identical.
Ive also grown other cuts of various strains in hydro, soil and outside in the uk, all methods produced different results in the plants appearance, smell, taste and effect.
For example the cuts grown outside were so different you would have thought it was a completely different strain! The high was very uplifting and mild compared with the hydro which was a heavy couchlock effect.
I put this down to the difference in light spectrum from the sun (full spectrum inc uv) I believe this changes the terpene and cannabinoid profile in the plant.
Ive also run metal halide exclusively and noted a difference compared with hps ie it is more similar to sunlight at midday you will definitely see way less stretch and the flowers are more dense and flavoursome but will lose a little yeild. I finally settled on mh for the first 3 weeks afer switch then hps for the remainder of flowering. Next time i grow i will be using diy led cobs with the aim of getting 1.8g /w
My point here really is to agree with the op a good pheno grown well, flushed properly and dried cured properly ( MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN FINAL PRODUCT) will always compare to cali/dutch etc imo.
If you really want something special do what they do but on a smaller scale they will grow out 100's of seeds from an unstable f1 cross and find a phenotype that is rather special! Good luck stabilising it and preserving the desirable traits in seed form though!
In fact this is what happened with cheese it was a freak pheno that was only available as a clone for a long time. I suspect the seed form now is not nearly as nice as the original cutting? Sorry for going off on one i just wanted to share my experiences experiments.
On another note some of the oldschool strains will put modern cali strains to shame for example bubbleberry from sagmartha seeds, super silver haze to name a few people always want the latest thing it doesnt mean its the best!

Great thread. I’ve enjoyed reading all the replies but what sticks with me is that same doubt... I don't think much genuine Cali grown weed makes it over here... as you've said, there are loads of UK producers making very convincing ‘counterfeit’ Cali packaging. Its crap.
In my very limited experience of what I have had/seen that has been sold as Cali is that it is always rock hard, dense bud that has been very decently trimmed and there is never any sugar leaf. Other than that...isn't it just really strong weed???
I have always asked myself what is it that Cali growers can do that UK growers supposedly can't?? It's all indoors so we should be able to replicate the exact same conditions anywhere in the world no? Admittedly it must be a lot easier to create/maintain a professional grow in a place where it is legal to do so but technique and equipment wise, aren't we all on a level playing field now?
Also, I still have the whole 'how long does it take to physically transport wholesale weed from California to here'...and how the hell could it possibly get to us in tip top condition??? Surely if it is legit from Cali, it is past it's best by the time it's taken weeks to get here getting battered about the whole time?...
I can't personally see why UK weed couldn't in theory be as good as anything grown anywhere in the world...unless I have missed something?

Yes, you raise some good points... smuggle cail weed to the UK by the ton in tins... or smuggle coke.
Theres a guy on Insta from London ( ish ) called "Slapsta designs " I think and the guy is churning out thousands of 3.5g bags, tins, glass pots etc. Not weed, just bag etc and it's getting bought and filled by UK guys with...... Cali weed, pull the other one, maybe its just good UK weed, or not so good

Exactly! Makes no sense to me that any serious smuggler would choose to move weed from California to the UK! Talk about hassle... Coke, meth, anything else moves easier with bigger profit... boggles my mind that people can import wholesale Cali weed in this day and age...
Also, yeah... just go to Calipacks UK on the net and you really do start to question a lot of things....

I agree, I've seen plenty for sale on here in the same packaging that's on ebay. If it was from the US it would be compressed into bricks, not loose in tins of 3.5g.
As you say what is being sold in the uk is very unlikely to be Cali weed just tins and hype.. But I lived in Netherlands for a while and visited there over the years, tried stuff all over.. Definitely in Amsterdam theres some not so good not properly cured weed for tourists but then at the same time I tried Barneys g13 haze the year it won the cup and it was soooo strong beautifully cured etc.. Never smoked anything like it in the uk or elsewhere in europe weed wise.. The thing about a dutch setup is that they have been growing and keeping mothers since the late 70s if I m correct.. From my experience with seeds it s very dependent on a variety of factors for example i ve never come across good seeds from greenhouse seeds.. Also it really is in the genes so the dutch and the calis can keep the best clones for years.. The amazing thing about Cali and the uk to a certain extent was that they shared the clones whereas in the netherlands there was little sharing as far as I m aware.. re the setups in cali now they can spend huge money on systems without fear of everything being taken away (indoors) whereas in the Netherlands it was never legal only tolerated... In the uk its definitely harder to get away with the growing than netherlands and youll have bigger probs with the law.. In theory with the right mama, the know how and the right equipment you could grow equally as good pot as cali indoors.. But outdoors obviously some if not nearly all strains grow better in Cali.. The thing about Cali also is that so many strains originate from there, there has been such a big grow culture there since the 70s with the back to landers in n cali.. strains like the Haze strains are from 2 brothers (the Haze brothers) and skunk from skunkman sam etc etc the list goes on and on..Nice to see a good ol civilised chat on here.. I just came across this site as I ve been looking for some nice to quality hash.. I used to use dreammarket then nightmare and they exit scammed .. I found a few vendors on dream that sold excellent quality hash very reasonable top grade for approx 280 euro an oz.. when nightmare exited new sites popped up n I went to top rated vendors and bought numerous very nice looking smelling tasting stuff with unoticeable amount of thc so i stopped for last 9 months r year .. I thought i d try again and I found this site .. Has anyone any recommendations for any vendors here for hq hash ? only interested in potent to very potent , long time smoker here.. Thanks peace out
There is a website think it's called calipacks.co.uk got all the bags tins and tubs on there with customizable labels ect!
I have never trusted the bags or tins in the uk they just never seemed legit just another gimmick to double the price of decent bud

Maybe it's just that if someones done a truly excellent job of growing they will label it as Cali.
The Cali characteristics seem to be a really clean burn and very compact buds - which is amazing, but who knows where it was grown? All I know is, I've never come across harsh, unflushed or nutrient burned "Cali".
Another thing I've noticed is, I think the effort put into growing is way more important than what the strain is.

Yes, unfortunately far too much of that.
Yes, unfortunately far too much of that.
there's a lot more science and consistancy in cali weed.. they've been able to study and learn the plant legally for last 20 odd years within the medical era with the correct resources therefore they have a lot more knowledge of what the plant requires and needs
any top shelf cali that has been packaged properly and licensed wouldve gone through testing too before hitting the shelves, to make sure there are no pesticides etc.

I'm not convinced, yes they have been at it for ages, but so have the Dutch... and they still grow in the same manner as most.
Lights / good feed and a bit of TLC. Theres a case for using reverse osmosis water but it's not proven as it strips essential minerals out of the water, so they need to be re added.
The clue is in the name "weed" theres no magic science that only the guys in cali know of.
I get your point of consistency of environment but with the right resources, that isn't out of reach.
Have you seen large scale cali grows, they are similar to large scale grows all over the world.
Thanks for your input Hootan, always good to hear other peoples views

its still illegal to grow weed in holland. they have to learn the plant in secret making it so much harder. also they grow recreational weed.. which is really just for the average consumer who doesnt care what they smoke aslong as they get their high. their tech in cali is far more advanced than any other place on the planet, and thats why their weed is the best.
What tech make it far more advanced than any other place on the planet? You know the UK grow tons of medical weed, and they grow just like the cali labs.
And you think the stuff that supposedly comes from these super advanced labs is the stuff we get in the UK... eventhough its illegal to ship it to the UK. Or is it at best, opportunist from cali growing in a warehouse in standard conditions and smuggling it into the UK.... or maybe it's not from cali.
Not trying to rub you up the wrong way, just chatting, but claiming it's the best because it's more advanced or that they've been doing it longer is marketing speil without substance.

The Cali strain thing, to me, is just hype. It just means the strain genetic was produced in California...highly doubt any of it is "flown here not grown here". Having raised this topic in coffeeshops in Amsterdam, they say its flown in....yet their Twitter accounts show them growing it, stage by stage hahaha. When asking in a cannabis social club in Spain, they told me they grow it themselves. Other coffeeshops in the Dam have also told me the cali flown in thing is bollocks. As you say, tins are available on ebay in bulk. That says it all. Ive also had friends give me nugs out of "cali tins" that cost £50 for 3.5g and its been standard commercial weed.
I think the deal with dutch weed is their experience on a commercial basis. Spain are winning the game in my eyes though! If you get a genuine spanish import you are in luck!! It will be lovely! As with Dutch imports....its not too hard to shift weed around Europe. But the risk to import from the U.S just wouldnt be worth it IMO.

Tips For Smell-Proofing Your Stash?
Hey biggas!
As the headline suggests, looking for recommendations / tips on how to smell-proof your stash. I normally put my bud in a jar with rubber seals, it worked great when I first bought it but now it doesn't really do anything other than dry out my green.
What I've started doing recently is double-bagging the green and then placing it in a plastic sealed box (I use the box as a rolling tray and it catches everything thats may fallout while I'm rolling) but this just doesn't cut it. The smell / aroma of dankness doesn't take long to fill the room and eventually the stairs too.
Because of this I am just getting an earful of shit constantly as the other people in the house don't smoke. Not anti-drugs or weed, they just hate the smell (weirdos xD). It doesn't help that all my last orders have been absolutely stinking lol.
Any and all suggestions welcomed. I really don't want to have to stash my shrubbery in a jar of coffee but desperate times and all that.
Peace Biggas!

Look up smell proof cases on amazon.
I bought a big one with locks and so forth and never smell a thing. Admittedly I also bought a bunch of smell proof bags that dealers use to post, so I keep lots of different varieties of hash and bud in separate smell proof bags inside the case.
I've had some stinkers, but the smell doesn't get out...
oooh, here's a pic I took a while ago ... back when we had lots of hash so not much bud in there then! There's serveral buds in the case now, still 15 types of hash too as I'm a hoarder :)

What’s the Red Leb like ? Tried everything else but that , I see u used them robbing bastards gods connect , done me for an ounce of green crack , can’t find he fuckers on this any more , you got anything of them lately ??
Hi mate. The Red Leb was the premium Red Leb from Drugs UK and very very strong and resinous. I'd estimate about 30% thc. I doubt I'll find another one like this one - only a few grams left now :(
I'm sorry you had a failed order from Gods Connect. They had an excellent reputation on here and I have to say their drysift was really good.
They went on an extended holiday about 6 weeks back as they were re evaluating everything after covid - if you can find their page, they posted on there. I'm surprised your issue was not dealt with and fixed.

Have a look on ebay for tightvac vacuum jars. There about £6.50 but they work mate.
I think you need to buy some new jars mate. Airtight jars shouldn't give off any smell.
If your weed is getting dry in your jar get a humidifying stone to stick in there (or a smaller jar!) you can also use foil inside your containers to keep your weed fresh and to line any jars that might not be doing the job well enough.... (in your situation you should line your plastic with it, don't let your weed sit on/in plastic! also plastic baggies do nothing at all, air passes right through them).
You can get good jars online for a couple of quid off the online headshops though - just read the reviews first :)
Keep the jars away from light and heat too obviously, I have a nice little wooden box with my jars inside. Good luck mate!

Hey Z, cheers for the reply. Haha yeah I know, the two jars I've got have given me years of service and down to my laziness I just never replaced them lol. I do prefer keeping my green in the masonry jars though as it usually keeps the green fresh, main problem is smell.
I have never used those stones that keep the moisture but have heard they are good so might give them a try. Time to make a trip to Homestore and buy some new jars I'd say lol. Thanks for the reply mate and hope you're well.

Yeah I made that mistake in my earlier days. Threw like 9gs into a litre sized jar and 3 days later my by bud basically turned to dust in my hands lol. Cheers though Rasta, appreciate the tip
Its been happening to me lately and it took a while to realize the more space in the jar means more air getting to it, I just hate dry tasteless bud lol.
Yeah all good thank you mate I'm properly feeling the boredom today though, dunno why I never do anything special on Fridays anyway but still somehow doesn't feel right. Weird times.
Anyway hope the new jars sort out your issue bud, they should do the trick. It is a smelly hobby we have to be fair to your housemates lol

I know the feeling mate, ran out of green yesterday and blasted through one of MJs carts in a few hours because of over-use lol. I bought a motorbike a few months back and have been looking forward to the good weather and a fog in the wilderness but there's currently 90km/h winds down by me and no weed. Hoping the postman makes a drop on Monday though lol.
Ah you gotta go along to get along bud and it's easier to keep the peace. The jars shall be bought in the morrow! Enjoy your weekend mate.

Thanks all for the recommendations as I learn to better store...I lost a significant quantity and never again !
Might be a dummy question but what about the freezer?
I had different experiences and for one it allowed to keep the hit, taste and smell diring around 4 years..:)
Any advice ?

hey man! maybe you just need to invest in a branded jar such as kilner, they keep well sealed for years. also I cant remember the name of them but you can get a RAW clay stone on amazon, you wet it and put it in your jar and it freshens up the buds if they're too dry. peace
Easiest is glass jam jars, otherwise check out a vacuum tub or similar. Google 'Amazon smellyproof'
I recommend RYOT brand stuff, they use activated charcoal if im right, cant remember lol but personally no smell. I store my weed in there also my vape when im going to work or out.
That's so weird, someone literally just bought me one as a birthday gift lol I have to say, I really like the look and feel to it. The compartments that seperate the supplies too are pretty cool :) Good shout PF :D
used marmalade jars work for me - no smell at all until the lids are removed when that funky goodness makes itself known...ahhhhhhhh.
Depends how much bud you've got there bro. I bought a "LITT" bag on amazon which is smell proof and also comes with a smell proof container. I really rate it and has the added bonus it comes with a padlock type lock where you can set a number combo to unlock it.
i store my bud in small containers then place that and all my smoking gear into smell proof bag

I just use a small Tupperware box inside a bigger Tupperware with my grinder and skins. Go on trains and have it at work too and never smell anything.
for a temporary solution I found keeping mine inside a steel thermos worked better than anything else, also made it safer to transport than glass jars when I had a bunch of flavours and needed to get across london & up to scotland on public transport for a mates stag
maybe put the weed in a bag like those heat-seal bags used by sellers or maybe small ziplocks and put the bag in mason jars with rubber/silicone seals. also try to open the jar and bag once in a while to avoid molds from growing.
I use small Mason jars (take about 7g each) kept inside a larger airtight tupperware container. I also have a few humidipaks in the larger container, works well for presevation and stealth.
Plus a use an air purifier (with active carbon filter) in my herbiest room. Can get away with vaping next to it and the smell's gone within about 20 minutes. It's a relatively expensive investment, but it'll save you on air fresheners and incense in the long run!

1 high quality thick mylar bag normally sorts the smell for me, then I just light a candle to get rid of the smell in the room, it works really well
I have a thick ceramic jar which has an airtight lid. I tend to keep it in my bedroom alternating it between the little drawers next to my bed and my wardrobe depending whos around. I rarely smell anything, and i have noticed that the ceramic over time adds to the flavour of the bud if you can leave it to chill for a while.
Obviously you should dry it out to the point where it crumbles in your fingers (i guess that depends on the bud but i wouldnt keep lower quality bud or those that are dripping with spray anyway) or at least as close to it as is possible and if your looking for long term smoke storage (eg if you buy in bulk) then like others have said you may want to add something to it to keep everything fresh. Personally i smoke too much and have never got to the point Ive needed that xD
Going on a little tangent here but I also have a little foil bags which I use for traveling. They are just like sandwich bags but are made of foil, you can pick them up on amazon or ebay and arent too expensive. There are 2 variations - a one time use which essentially sticks closed with glue and is unusable after opening or standard sandwich bag push seals for multiple uses. The glue works better at smell prevention but then in a domestic situation transferring from bag to bag would get annoying. So if you went with this way, depending on the strength of what your carrying you may want to double or triple bag. I mention this even though you didnt ask about travelling because its a quick, easy and low cost if a little temporary solution to your problem while you find something that works better for you long term. I first used this method when I used to go and stay with my girlfriend (her parents are police) and I would put the foil bags in her jewelery box and never got caught, even when her mum used to come and use her vanity mirror lol

In a jar with a couple slices of apple. Golden delicious provides
A lil smell and taste to the bud also : )

Yeah I can be blunt lol
...but it’s a fact rather than an opinion
any airtight container stored in a cool dark place will suffice but glass I think is best
It needs to be properly dry first, not bone dry...like 15%? moisture to prevent mould, that and temperature...don't quote that percentage

Sometimes blunt is best my man! Yeah I've been using a masonry jar for the past 8 years and sleays found it to be the best way to store my bud but I judt got lazy and rarely replace anything. You should see my poor grinder haha. I will be purchasing a new box, grinder, jars and stocking up on papers so I'll probably be skint again by this time next week lol. Cheers for the reply Smee!
I’ve had my blitz n mix grinder for I don’t know how long...just clean it with alcohol or acetone brings it up like new

I use preserve jars from hobbycraft, work pretty well for me. You can also get specialist stash jars on amazon etc but these are pretty overpriced imo.
Yeah I was having a nose online and saw a few nice ones but they seemed a little overpriced. Think I found what I'm looking for on Amazon though for a decent price and size. Reviews seem legit and the vendor has a double deal with a bong / dab rig so I think I'll just bite the bullet and order lol. Cheers for the reply mate!
I wrap in cling film ... lots of it. The key is to wash your hands before you touch the cling film, if you have crystals on your hands they will transfer to the cling and make it smell.
I've used clingfilm in the past but felt like it was killing the taste of the weed? Could just be in my head but that's why I stopped lol. I'll probably have to start doing it again though for the time being. Cheers for the reply and handy tip about the crystals.
Kilner jars and boveda packs mate. If your seal goes you just buy a replacement. I’ve had the same jars for years. That’s a brand new one I just bought. They are very tough.

reviewers if you want me to believe you're not shills
and i do appreciate the shills, they have killer photos.
but it would help us all if you made comparisons amongst what you are reviewing.
some kind of ranking system say this is number 3 in quality but number 7 in price.
this will be kinder to the sellers as well because they will know how to compete with quality and price rather than guessing and making a drama when they get it wrong.
love and appreciation to everyone here

Well put, the average ratings from verified purchases are more informative than the reviews which often read more like love letters rather than criticism.
In no order RB, TGT, ULC and Smoggyman all been consistently top sellers for me over the months but it all comes down to what strains and type of grows are best for you, helps if you know what you want.
You're mad if you think all these topics and pics on here are from shills though, weed doesn't need pushing because people already want to buy it that is literally the only reason to be on this site :) The only seller(s) who need shills are the ones that get banned and come back under new names.

Gotta say I agree 100% I can't imagine there is anyone on here that would need to do it unless they got banned and tried to come back lol.
Vendor wise I think you've nailed it other than missing DIUK. They have had some of the best stuff I've smoked in years on here recently.

I've only had one order with DIUK but it was a banging bit. Some of their "wow" stuff lately has looked amazing. Will have to get in on some of it soon!
The wow mac 10 and ice cream cake are hands down the nest stuff I've had from LB. I've had a lot of strains from DIUK but the recent Wow range they have got in with their new grower is just next level compared to the rest.
I've given up on the reviews. They are pretty much useless as most people rate before they have even tried it which is a massive pet peeve for me. I now have an edibles guy and a vape guy and a backup seller. It just seems like this site has a bit of a dark vibe to it atm there seems to be a lot of people complaining about orders being wrong or lost and bad communication. I will also leave a review on the sellers page with a bit of detail about the product so people can know a bit more about the product instead of just reading lots of 10/10 but I haven't tried it yet reviews
Yeah man I dont get the whole review before you receive thing, i mean how on earth can you leave something helpful for others if you aint even tried it yet.
I always try to mention qualiry, stealth and how heloful vendors have been etc, its only fair.

It drives me nuts. Can you think of anywhere else you would leave a review before trying. You don't walk past a restaurant, look at the menu in the window and then post how its great but your not going to eat there until next week
The rating/review system works out as a very vague guide on LB. You should be able to work out who will actually get you something in a reasonable time frame. And perhaps if their stealth is adequate.
As to the quality and detail of the products themselves, the reviews aren't particularly useful. Time for an analogy...
Let's say you're really into your music. The finest thing in your world might be a rare, crackly first edition vinyl of a virtually unknown band, released in the early 1970's. Are the pops and crackles in the audio a good thing? Is this better then music released last year? Does this even make sense to someone who only listens to opera... or jungle... or K-pop?
Most people are only in-tune with what the mass market presents. If you know better, those opinions are largely irrelevant.

Its the relative ratings that matter. It's a very good bet that if 2 items have 50 ratings and one has a higher rating that it's better, especially if the price is similar.
Why we need rankings to see this at a glance.

I must've been lucky or selected the right people??
I do agree would be good to see product / seller rating split.
i like the blurb but not walls of text, im usually too baked to read it all.
Only had 5 strains so far and a hash. all were top notch.
i would say A******* give or take a star LOL

It could all be resolved if reviewers took a minute and a sentence or two to explain their ratings. Just putting a number is of no real help and rating because you’ve received it but yet to try is mind numbing...
Lol. I notice on Leafly a lot of reviews are written when totally baked and are very entertaining! (Particularly the ones that start with “Weeeeeeeeeee!!!”)
I want to know things are more or less as described, and aren't underweight.
Quality is subjective.
Quality is subjective.
It's a rough metric for me. I don't tell other people how to review and don't expect the same in return. Personally, with respect, I don't really worry about what people believe. If people want to go into detail and be more explanatory, that's up to them. The metric serves well as a trust device, not a wine taster's palate guide, at least for me.
I agree but the shills mainly come from vendors who review there own products get banned eventually then reappear under new names
nobody needs to push weed. people be lining up to buy it right now with how things are.
I appreciate all the reviews here; few have let me down. We need more buyer feedback not more criticism of it. Feel free to lead by example.
People oft moan about the rating system. but it's pretty obvious it's end purpose. The rating is for the overall sale; not just the weed itself. People are able to judge it however nicely or harshly they like with a review to help others below the item.

Out of curiosity who are you referring to? Anyone specific or just people who do reviews with photos in general?
I'm one of those people . Lol am I considered a shill? I'll praise the ass off a product if I like it, pictures included!
I much prefer outdoor organically grown herb. So it's "better" than puffed up hydro grown from my point of view. Others may describe my preferred herb as "no bag appeal/too loose/not dense/not stinky" etc
Therefore reviews are subjective as opinions are involved.
Hence a more complex score rating system would achieve nothing other than confusion.
imho ofc ;)

what if we let the boomers die?
I disagree strongly with the war comparison - that's not an example of a mutual effort, but the opposite: it's an example of large scale confrontation…
what if we let the boomers die?
just playing devil's advocate here literally. and I know there's a zillion boomers right here on lb.
but we are shutting down the planet, this is the largest mutual effort in history. the only thing that compares is oddly enough, war.
in war old leaders decide to send young people to their death, wiping them out and their many potential offspring. yet the old are especially protected. this doesn't make sense in any societal or evolutionary way it just serves the self interest of the old - who happen to be the rulers calling this shot.
now the young are called up again, in history's largest timeout they will lose finances, jobs and sanity as they are terrified into submission to save .0001 of the population, nearly all of who will die from other causes within a few years.
im not really advocating we let anyone die, i am happy to sacrifice for them further than this but lets call this what it is, the story that is always hidden. self interest from the ruling class.

I disagree strongly with the war comparison - that's not an example of a mutual effort, but the opposite: it's an example of large scale confrontation. People were called up to defend/attack from other people. MILLIONS of people died over YEARS.
This is a public health crisis, not a war. And the young haven't been called up, keyworkers, carers and health staff have. When I've been out and about with my family, it's fairly clear that the younger generations are the least bothered by what's going on, and aren't necessarily abiding by the guidelines to any effective degree.
And sadly, I don't think this is even something defined by the self interest of the ruling class. I think it's exposed the current ruling class is about as clueless as it ever had been. Johnson's flabby ensemble of random wankers have never at any point been good leaders. They got there off the back of a dishonest, divisionary Brexit campaign based on some entirely different agenda. They now have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to humanity that if a democracy is to succeed, you can only back honest, able and skilled statesmen. Anyone less means we're fucked if there's any deviation from their intended narrative.
I don't blame anyone in this scenario. It's a collective human failure that it escalated to this scale. What I think matters now is the outlook, vision and ability of the leaders that might rebuild for the future. In 2019, world leadership probably never looked so weak... in the entirety of human history. And in the UK, we've currently got one of the most inept setups. BUT. Look at Starmer circling, look what we need to overcome, look what we want to build.
Give it a year or two and I think HOPE will be a usable word again. The Johnson/Trump/Bullshit breed need to move aside.

Yes but the fact that people are even looking to politicians in an era of science, free flow of information and consensus building media - why the fuck do we still have the twats?
I know my case is extreme, but its not just old people who need protecting. My son is 2 years old and immunocompromised from chemotherapy. I don't fully believe in the lockdown but it is a bit more assuring for me that it isn't running rampant out there.
You definitely have a point.
The approach of "us-versus-them' is in fact a very European way of dealing with matters.
Indifference to social position, and consequently, acceptance of one's social status no matter what it is, became somehow a doctrine and a duty in the current world (if we are honest to ourselves): it is really the ideal philosophy, an ideological superstructure adequate to peacefully govern our world, conquered with its own consent.
'The old" send "the young" to wars. Because, "the young" (well, all ages really) willingly accept, for example, army duty.
It is only natural, that in current situation, "the young" are contemplating 'retaliation'. :)
I think, the value of a human life became something very insignificant.
Young people wait on the old to die in retirement homes, old are upset with the young, that they show no respect, etc.
A vicious circle.
And we do not really value human life, because we do not understand the concept of self-worth.
Which is nowadays confused with 'pouvoir d'achat', like they say in french (ability to buy). Just look at who the majority of humans are looking up to (movie stars, ufc fighters, etc.)
The thing is, we are never independent or self-made, and we all hopefully will be old one day too. So what connects old and young is gratitude.
No life is more important than another, whether it is an old life or a young one.
And no ideology or state will defend this point at all times, speaking sociologically or/and economically. It is self-damaging to an ideology or a state.
Should we or should we not do this or that? I don't know. Each individual should decide for himself.
I know that generalising (oh those olds, oh those youngs, oh those russians, oh those arabs, oh those french, oh those - would be an insult to my own intelligence.
A boomer is different from another boomer. And i am a survivor and want my children to be survivors too.
I may be never be in a position where i can decide on a broader scale of "should we or should we not".
But i can decide on my personal level and i just value life more than i value my ego.
Here is my humble opinion.
Thank you for being brave and raising this point.
It is important to discuss without fear to offend.
That is what freedom of speech is no?

Very thoughtful post (what a pleasure to read this instead of another sycophantic review), thank you for it my bigga.
I'm going to differ on one point. I think the perceived value of life is heading up and pretty much always has.
We are in the midst of the greatest human sacrifice for the least number of lives (in relative terms) ever.
Today's wars kill fewer in total than we lost in a week in WW1 or 2.
Murder rates are way down compared to history.
The financial investment made to squeeze out a few more years is more substantial than even our most recent ancestors could ever imagine.
There's lots more stats like this, they are hard to see when media profits from perceived conflict and makes everything look cataclysmic to get your attention.

We need more youngsters in politics and less old farts creaming off the state. I think you reach an age when you start to become more selfish and want to accrue wealth. Bills and mortgages start to wear you down. I was definitely more idealistic when younger. We need to be a lot braver with who we allow to run the world and kick out the old guard. the youngsters are going to be paying off our debts for ever unless we change the system. Guy fawkes had the right idea.
I believe I am generation X but I will react anyway. It is an interesting discussion and I understand the thought behind it. The biggest issue I have with your statement is: what makes you think that older generations are not impacted by lock downs or other measures against the virus? Like we are all sipping whisky at our 2nd vacation homes. Your generation or any other is not sacrificing more then any other generation. Much love to you all
Probably fair to say they're not going to pay the bills incurred and they're not having their careers snuffed out before they've begun, they're overwhelmingly locked down in better circumstances than the young.
I'm Gen X and thanking my lucky stars I'm not still in hospitality and shared accommodation.
I'm Gen X and thanking my lucky stars I'm not still in hospitality and shared accommodation.
I'm not old (38) and I very nearly got axed by COVID. I don't have a pre existing condition. It's worth considering that many young or younger people with pre-existing conditions are at high risk, as are the disabled and many mentally ill people. The structures of society also make sure that the poor are disproportionatily affected. So, what you're proposing, hypothetical or not, is a cull on the people in society who most need our support. And, I would add, people who add a huge amount of value to our societies. I am as annoyed by how our 'era' turned out as anyone, but putting boomers to death for the greater good? C'mon. Besides, the ruling class are not all old - they have children, who will inherit. Killing old (rich) people would do nothing for society. Advocating that other (poor) people's parents and grandparents have had their time is basically inhuman, or at least profoundly lacking in empathy.
Glad you are ok bigga and your message is hella important. Can I ask do you think there was a better way to handle this? Are you happy with the whole world shutting down to protect you?
love and respect
love and respect
I don't want my parents to die any more than I want anyone else's, but the quality of life for the young is clearly being sacrificed again for the most protected generation that ever lived.
Kind of irrelevant IMO because as a species we are all doomed anyway, which I'm OK with, but it's shame we're going to take most of the biosphere with us though, as it's really no fault of theirs. We are species out of control and one which is destroying it's environment. The planet will be much better of without us humans stinking up the place!
here's what im thinking, as long as when i'm burned for fuel a billion years from now there's this little bit of thc somehow left there all that time. and it says thanks, yeah, thanks, THANKS.
Interesting read here
It does seem if we were a little more honest about this we might come up with a better solution than locking everyone up.
agree somewhat, the damage to economy is going to kill tens of thousands alone, potentially more than would be lost to Covid, but perhaps not (Not an expert by any means). I invite people to look at how many people died on average each 2010-2015 due to austerity measures and debt. Suicides will go up to.
Im in the self employed bracket its truly shit but i think society will come out of this better on the whole
I am in the same boat and i like your positive outlook.
"Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time" - right?
We should also come out of this with as less damage and casualties as possible.
Been self-employed throughout 3 different continents and over a decade already and self-employed equals survivor to me at this point.

What if we just quarantine the old baby boomers and give them priority at hospitals, that way the rest of us can keep the world going and contsruct what they need.
I was self employed hehe
I was in that small percentage who got no help lol and im sure i speak for many...
Unless i change my services...im hoping it blows over soon
Stay safe Vik

Me too. My industry was among the first to go, About 2 weeks before lock down got told to stay at home no income... Now im out of a job completely.
It’s fucked up isn’t it, I’m in that small percentage of self employed who ain’t getting jack shit...I’d work tomorrow but not many want people in there houses now
We can only hope that this flys by and we can get back to work
Some sectors have increased in number of available positions, maybe worth looking into those sectors to get some work for the mean time

There are elements that are particularly cruel for young generations that have been caused by the benefits enjoyed by older generations. Retirement / pension age is the first to mind. We all retire later if at all because they fucked the pension pot for those claiming now. Housing and land are impossible to buy at reasonable prices, because the older generation owns it all. Wealth disparity grows with extended lifespans, as the elderly hold onto it instead of spending it. But these issues are not the fault of those older generations, but the governments modus operandi of dealing the better cards in the deck to those who can vote at the time and have money. Who cares about the generations that can't support government agendas right now? No one is the answer, and it has resulted in a shit deal for the young that will only get worse as time goes on.
The chant throughout this has been that you “can’t put a price on life” which is ridiculous because we do it all the time. The NHS will not buy expensive cancer drugs unless they extend life for ‘long enough’, councils won’t spend on accident hot spots until a certain number of deaths have been er...’achieved’?!
The equation is called ‘quality adjusted life years’ and it’s frequently used to decide cost vs life. That sum has now been done for the pandemic (freaky task) and yup, it doesn’t add up. The number of quality life years saved versus those to be lost through unemployment, poverty, undiagnosed health conditions, mental stress etc are insignificant.
We fucked up. But then we’re only human....

as a 51yr old father of 11yr old twins (one boy, one girl), and reflecting on how I have myself matured (lack of!) I can honestly offer an opinion that humans may be physically capable of sexual reproduction early mid/teens, but that doesn't make them adults. Likewise 20s and even early 30s. I was a selfish prat right up to having kids. Having kids completely changes your priorities and outlook, including CONFIRMING that kids are, literally, the future. So you're right about preserving the future for younger generations. BUT if adults don't become adults (really!) until they have kids, and human kids can't look after themselves, and anyway don't mature mentally til they have kids, we come full circle, that is why you need 2 generations minimum at the same time. HTH!
I'm 27 with baby number 2 due next month. My life didn't feel lil it had much meaning before becoming a dad, I cared a lot less about everything. As for Corona it's really not a big risk to a vast majority of the population. Most of the people dying are 80+. When the people who are 80+ were born their life expectancy was like 67. They've done well. I think all lives are equal but not all deaths are tragic.

Dabbing: Banger Question
I’ve recently bought a small dab rig and read that a thermal banger and carb cap combo was the way to go but I find I get better results using the standard slanted non-thermal banger and carb cap (less residue left and a tastier hit). Why is this? Is the standard banger just better glass than the thermal banger?
I don’t think you need different setups for different concentrates so much but the ultimate goal for me is to dab at the lowest possible temperature to get the flavour whilst also making sure as much concentrate vaporises as possible so there’s no waste. If you use a carb cap it lowers the pressure in the banger as you dab so the concentrate can vaporise at a lower temperature. A thermal banger is supposed to retain a steady temperature for longer but my experience has been that there’s often puddles left when I used it so not all the concentrate Ian vaporised.
dude if you like dabs check out divine crossing v4 and reddit/waxpen
cant remember when I had a dab trough my banger after this shit, but more expensive as you need a good vape mod as well.

I didn’t have much luck with the thermal banger myself , much prefair a standard one and bubble cap or some term pearls and a spinner cap works great. , I find I heat the tastiest dabs if I blast the banger for a min then cool of for a min. But my time if was all over with the thermal banger for some reason.
Exactly! They say thermals are meant to retain the heat for longer and you only need to heat as long as a normal banger but if I did 1 min heat, 50 seconds cool (my preference) there would be hardly any vapour or flavour of the thermal banger.
I'm guessing your 'standard' banger is thinner glass, so heats up quicker etc. Maybe your thermal one's just not hot enough when you hit it (hence less flavour and more residue)
Less vapour means less flavour too though... it's that balance between actually vaporizing everything, but not burning it. If it just melts off and cooks into residue, it's less of everything (apart from cleaning up after!).
My nails and bangers are gathering dust these days though. Just find myself using my Puffco Peak for convenience and consistency.
And BTW Mr Hootan... absolutely loving your last 2 extracts. The Black Cherry DIS and the Biscoff Rosin are awesome. Please do keep em coming!

Vaping different strains
I’m finding different strains irrelevant since I started vaping.
Compared to smoking there is a world of difference.
Smoking everything seemed a bit heavier, a bit more indica.
Vaping, no matter what I smoke, it is a really clean clear high!
Example, last night, I smoked a mega sari a haze, a Mimosa, pink Kush and Alien Dawg.
Honestly, through a vape I couldn’t tell the difference. They all got me majorly high, but really clean and smooth. Nothing heavy at all. Literally couldn’t tell the difference, except in taste, definitely a difference in taste.
What’s the deal?
Feel like I should just mix them all together!
And I’m a seasoned smoker.
Even the Kush gave me mega active high. What’s the deal?
I’m kid of longing for the super heavy couch lock, brain dead zombie stoned before vapes.
Even before vapes I didn’t use tobacco, just pipes x

i always mix different strains together since in my experience all these buzzwords and shit associated with sativa / indica etc are nothing more than buzzwords, you're either stoned or you aren't.
in 20 years of smoking thousands of different strains very heavily on a daily basis i've never had such a thing as a "creative high" or "energetic high", i feel like all these very subjective effects started appearing fairly recently when all the hipsters started smoking weed and now they "can't smoke indica before 5pm bro it affects my creativity"
i think a lot of this comes from people being unaware of moodswings etc and mental health, weed just enhances whatever you are feeling, if i'm tired, i smoke and feel more tired, if i'm hungry, i smoke and feel more hungry etc etc, regardless of what strain it is!

Have to agree with you there hesh to a certain extent lol, but I can definitely tell the difference between a heavy Sativa v a Indica!
This made me laugh! A lot of what you say is true dude.
I do agree that most weed just gets me stoned. I do notice some differences between strains sometimes, some are really chatty and social and some are just really comatose, however how much that has to do with indica or sativa, I don’t know.
All strains in a vape seem to be pretty chatty and social. I haven’t been able to get a good comatose on since vaping, no matter what I smoke. I miss that. Bought two heavy indica strains recently just to get that to mong to some movies with, but no joy.
I think it’s the vaping. I do miss a really heavy couchlock smoke where the whole day melts away!
I do think that some strains are naturally more social, though I I’m not sure anymore what the indica/sativa component has to do with it. Smoking all different stains and can’t really find a pattern.
As for the ‘creative cerebral high, perfect for wake and bake when you have work to do’ etc... well when I’m stoned I’m a mess no matter what the strain... I can’t get shit done!!!

glad you found it funny mate that was the intention lol, just read it back and realised it could have come across in a different manner!
but yeah i think you're on to something though there must be a difference in how THC is absorbed via either combusting or vaping, as ingesting also produces a different effect to combusting!
totally agree with your last part of that reply though mate!

What temp do you vape at brother?
I find lower temps for day smoke and higher temps for night smoke works best.
Experiment with different temperatures for different strains.

Attach the vape to a nice glass bong, vape at 200 and rip that bad boy! Works for me, you’ll also be able to differentiate between strong flower and the not so strong a bit shit stuff!
I found the same as you straight from the vape but adding glass allows you to get more in and with the water cooling it a much smoother experience.

Unfortunately you are losing potency because the cannabinoids condense on whatever they touch, the cooler the worse the effect is. It may get you more quickly wasted due to being able to get more in your lungs in a shorter amount of time, but you are wasting your herb unless you do an iso wash to get it all back;) even then Terpenes are lost
None of that stacks up in my experience, the effects are stronger for much longer for me and I even use less flower in comparison to using just the Mighty.
I've been smoking for years and recently tried moving to vape, but found that I couldn't really get properly high on it. Tried multiple, good quality strains (strawb ammo, lemon ammo etc), but the high is just nothing compared to smoking.
Do you guys have any suggestions on ways to improve vaping experience? really would like to stop smoking altogether!

I think vaping is just a totally different high. It’s like getting stoned but without the sleepiness. It’s like getting stoned only in the conscious part of the brain and the rest of your brain and body are normal. It also completely shoots my memory compared to smoking! Literally can’t remember a thing since vaping, like even mid sentence. I also have to use twice as much than a pipe to get there.
Use the highest temp setting and make sure you finish it;) the lighter and headier cannabinoids are first to evaporate. Then the heavier body cannabinoids last. When smoking u get them all at once plus a load of other crap
Thanks. My vape runs in 5 minute cycles. I normally do 2 of them at the highest temperature. The weed is pretty brown and gone when I clean it out.
I think it’s just nature of vapes, no heavy couchlock stone.

The 'stonier' aspects of the effects do require the higher temperature settings; but unless you're reaching combustion, you'll never get the carbon monoxide. And that probably is what enhances the stoney feeling... nothing like a bit of mild suffocation to relax you! I vape 9 times out of 10, but when I want the full stoney whack, smoking's the only option. Conversely, I can't really get 'high' from smoking any more - it's an inefficient way to get the THC; I'll burn a gram and maybe just feel a little sleepy.
I can understand that it doesn't give you a hard hit as smoking and it is a different high, I agree. But I can still feel the difference between the strains (head vs body etc). I vape at a low temp of 195 celcius. What kind of vape are you using?
I use this one. It's cheap, but fine. Gets me high. I vape at highest temp of 428f... whatever that is in Celsius. I have to use a lot of weed though. Twice to four times as much per smoke than I would with a pipe.

Hi fellow like minded folk ..ive seen some offers that look excellent..can I please ask the opinion of you guys ..it seems very reasonable prices advertised for what looks like an excellent product..tell me your thoughts
Many thanks ..and happy Christmas
Many thanks ..and happy Christmas
Not from Hootan yet as I'd think it best to get the Xmas Post out of the way 1st..but thank you for the advise ..
The well-priced deals are the ones shipping direct from Spain. I ordered an oz of the hash and it was good enough for me to trust in grabbing a bit of that Cherry Pie too. Just appreciate it's going to take a while to arrive (esp at this time of year, pandemics, Brexits etc!) but I'd trust that the product is largely as described.

Has anyone had these ?
Been smoking for years and used to live near Malaga so smoked a fair bit of Moroccan hash but never seen these before. Would love to hear biggaz experience with these. He’s got these little doughnuts as well also look interesting
Hi Emz! This is a unique product I brought to you wonderful biggaz for the holidays! made of delightful AAA grade moroccan hashish, it's important to make clear it's a
completely different hash from the moroccan soft Indica hash. it's much more hybrid in effect.
I'm also not surprised you haven't seen them before, they are custom made for my shop for the holidays.
your love made it possible.
first ones shipped yesterday, hope y'all biggaz will like them.
sending big love back to you all!

No one would have yet buddy they were only uploaded the other day and hashishin is based in the middle east so delivery times are long no one would of had chance to try yet. I ordered some bud from him the other day and he said delivery will take around a month but that's understandable and at least hes straight up about it. These and the donuts he's making look unreal though ay?
Hi I get that nobody had had any of this listing unless he has started offering teleportation delivery , when you read the description it seems this is a morrocan traditional hash not something Newley created and was curious if people had come across it before as I haven’t. Thank you for coming back to me though. Would still love to Hear from people that have ?
Ah my apologies Emz. Didn't realise what you meant, but that's a good question actually. Now if only hashishin could start offering that teleportation delivery...
I'm also very well acquainted with all sorts of Marocs from the last few decades! I don't think these shapes are a thing, really. I assumed it's just a bit of novelty value - presumably this and the donuts are just the soft Moroccan he has, repressed into alternative shapes.
I've not tried the hash version,but I've seen this design put on biscuits/cakes/sweets in the Rif

Which vendors have consistently sold you amazing buds every single time? Including great service;)
Thanks all
Thanks all
I've been fairly impressed with a few vendors here, but as in the real world, the best best buds tend to come from folk who handle no more than 1 or 2 strains. They have a perfect mother, and the cuts are nurtured by growers who have completed mastered how to grow/dry/cure that strain. I used to have a Cheese man just like that. Exodus cut, perfectly grown, as good as it gets, same every time, for years and years. The only equivalent on LB (that I've noticed) is Ammunation with true 10/10 Amnesia Haze. Personally, I'd rather see more 'specialists' like this on LB... the middle men with big, rotating menus are great, but there's no way you (or they) will be able to guarantee the same quality every time.
For me The Green Team. For price too a lot of the time. But for flavour, everything I’ve got has been tasty. I’m afraid I dosagree that everything on here is amazing. I’ve paid too much for standard bud a few times.
Definitely TGT for consistent excellence and variety!! ULC also get top marks from me! Not as high grade smoke, but consistent, with a great team and super fast delivery! Others i would reccomend are DIUK and RB. LUDs + UK Connect get a mention here, too!
Every fucker these days man! Shit goes wrong sometimes but the quality of flower on here and level of service from all the usual suspects is top notch don’t you reckon? To be fair though, the substandard brigades don’t last long here.
I have noticed quite a difference. In particularly one vendor who sold me one of the best and then one of the worst.
Ah that’s shitty, never happened to me though yet. When they sold you shite was it resolved?

Hash in a dynavap
Sup biggaz? After reading a lot of rave reviews about the dynavap I picked one up and I absolutely love it. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’ve never really enjoyed vaping flower or hash but I never realised the problem was the battery! Anyway I have vaping flower down to a tee but I’m struggling to vape hash... I have cotton bacon and wrap a bit of hash in that and vape it but i feel like I’m doing something wrong because I’m not getting a lot of flavour, cloud and not much of a hit. Should I keep cotton to a minimum? Should I be heating from the bottom or middle? Any advice would be appreciated please!!
The Dynavap's click system is intended for ground herb, if you've got hash in there you do want a slightly higher temperature... you need to heat a little bit past the click, which may take a little trial and error. The cotton's in there just to prevent the hash melting and gunking everything up/sticking to everything, so you don't need much, just enough to keep it contained. The hash needs to be broken down too, a single solid lump won't vape up readily. But ultimately, hash doesn't work in the Dynavap as well as herb does... and different hashes behave differently, so there's not necessarily a single best method...
Been putting thin disks of the drysift eggs sold on here in between my herb using an ih works well
Just roll up little pucks and put them in there.
I don't bother with hemp or cotton (not a judgement, just never tried). Most work well if you just take a little piece and roll up a little ball, then maybe roll it out like thin pastry and pop it in.
Others seem to work better if you can grind them back into powder again and either pop in a little scoop like a dab, or top some flower with it.
As ilsenator, you need to warm a little past the click for resin.

im not an econ guy but im really curious how professionals look at this.
I believe that BTC price is determined by an alcoholic garden fairy, named Phil. He takes his most recent Pacman score (he plays nearly everyday) divides it by the middle two digits of a random phone book entry, then multiplies it by the number of things he can see that begin with the letter 'F'. That, to the power of 3 and dived by Pi, is the current value of BitCoin.
Haha, you write really well. Reminds me of Douglas Adams.
Kudos.
I've posted this before on here but when the Silk Road was a thing (around 2014), I bought 46 bitcoin for $9 each. Spent them all on drugs.
Didn't save any.
Apparently you live and learn but that was a hell of a pill to swallow when they went to $10,000 a piece!
Oh well. Fuckabix.

Feel your pain here but. I've bought copious amounts of bitcoin at £9, £12, £18 in bigger quantities and did exactly what I intended to use them for, buying weed ha. Which was incredible at the time. No regrets, we weren't to know. It was a lot of new scarily complicated information at the time and a lot to figure out. I'd try spend mine as quick as possible as overnight they were way less or sometimes way more, this use to baffle and scare me ha
Pretty much all coins vary in value like stocks do. There is finite supply of coins based on mining, which is using processor power to solve pieces of the block chain which gets more difficult as it progresses. However no matter the amount of coins that are availible if they are not wanted then the price goes down.
Often times certain events influance the demand for the currancy. The reason it went down this time was due to a Coinbase announcement that they where not going to be allowing BCH trades for a specific period after the hard fork that happened just recently. A big BTC holder sokd off a shiload of coin which started it to drop and of course others started following suit and sold off their coin as well. There are also things like market corrections, people pulling out to invest in stock or alt coins and a bunch of other random shit. Some of which is predictable and others very much not so.
Hope that kinda sumarizes things.

The cryto world is even more fickle then the actual stock market. CoinBase is one of the biggest market places / sellers of crypto so it put a lot of people on edge. Been downward a lot since then.
Supply is limited by mining difficulty so it's always growing at a slower rate. Basically coins are getting harder and harder to mine.
You also have the halving coming up, which will further reduce supply, unlike quantative easing from fiat currency.

Swazi Gold vs Jamaican Sess
I'm new to LB but old to weed. My first orders were with GC and TGT both faultless! I couldn't really tell much difference between both strains above. I prefer old skool weed like that or even hash.. But these hash prices are peak at the minute. Has anyone got any recommendations.. I've seen the top end Thai etc. But I want something that looks like this.
I’ve been on the same journey recently.
Bought:
Thai Red String from TGT
Swazi Gold from TGT
Book of Wisdom from Drugs Inc
Jamaican Sess from Gods Connect
All much of a much I’d say.
The Thai Red String is the most ‘up’ of them and the Jamaican Sess is the most chill of them.
The other two are in the middle.
All personal preference though.
None of them are anything like hash.
None of them look like your photo.
What I’ve learnt is that although I remember liking old school weed, and I’m not too into really heavy indicas... I’ve been indulged by decent bud for so long now that actually I prefer a decent bit of bud and decent hash to any of the old school stuff.
But now I have an empty wallet and an Oz of old school lying here that I’ll smoke, but would prefer to just have some decent bud and hash!
Nostalgia isn’t always accurate.
Hope that helps.

I did quite enjoy the red thai and Jamaican, for a bit. But if you're high tolerance, you need to get through a lot of foliage. Outdoor like this is heavy and tar-laden, and it's quite hard work smoking enough to get a buzz on. I never got through all mine, it's there ready for lightweight friends instead lol.
Hash and indoor buds have gotten better and better over the years. Bushweed seems very much the same. Still, if it IS what you're after, they're all nice examples here.

Safe for the reply, the pic is an old pic of some cess I use to get back in the day. My perfect mix is having a nice grade and mixing it with a nice hash. But these prices for hash.. I might as well grab some skunk.. But it blows my head off and the I can't get away with a cheeky spliff outside.
I feel the same. In that case, if you still smoke tobacco, just buy some hash. Or just buy some hash and mix it with the green you just bought if you don’t smoke tobacco.
I think next I won’t bother with the landrace. They’re nice, but I’d rather a decent bit of hash and a decent bit of bud.
False economy.
Lesson learnt.

Same same same - I find the red string Thai to be the best smoke, buzz and taste though the book of wisdow Thai is very fruity - I like having the options there and always keep a supply of some low grade for day time smoking

Dedicated wax/shatter/crumble etc. Vape recommendations
As the title suggests I’m looking for a dedicated vape specific for wax and other concentrates. Thought I’d throw it out to the bigga hive mind for some information and recommendations? Cheers
Puffco Plus but handle it with kid gloves as it’s pretty fragile and you can use the 510 for carts too.
Ooh fuck that’s tempting.. little bit out of my price range though. Have you ever had issues with fragile parts of the Puffco? Read some reviews saying the coils are very easy to break (especially for something close to £300).
Oh yeah loving the sapphire scout by the way ;)
Oh yeah loving the sapphire scout by the way ;)
I have a cheap 30 quid atmos pen and dr.dabber 70 quid one, and they are pretty much the same shit. puffco plus is convenient as fuck cuz of wee spoon I like that shit. but again work same as 30quid one. linx stuff is alright as well. obv peak is amazing and pricey. at that price point also lok at Ditanium desktop vape it's a beast. lol i even made my own pen using rebuildable vape atomizer and it was not too bad tbh
I've used my Puffco Peak everyday for well over a year... maybe two years? I don't really remember anything since I first bought it.
The Peak doesn't use coils, which is what makes it the best concentrate device (along with the Carta, and possibly others?)... it uses a ceramic (or quartz or silicone) bowl that you can dab into directly. It gets to the temps I want without fuss, it cools through the glass (I use it dry) and does the job perfectly. Quick swab with a Q tip and good to go.
You need to give the atomiser bit a clean every week or so, but it's fairly painless. If you let it build up, things do get very tricky to disassemble and can get pulled apart in the wrong places. But replacement atomiser sections are only 30 quid or so, and rebuildable parts are available even cheaper if it looks fixable.
So. Expensive, but worth every penny. I've bought maybe 2 or 3 fresh atomizers in the time I've had it, but given the use it gets, no problem.
Carta's a good alternative along the same lines. Not that much cheaper though.
I've not found a decent pen style vape (not a fan of the Puffco Pro). But the Saionara/Sai is great on an ecig/mod, and much much cheaper than the above. Otherwise just get a cheap glass rig and torch, it's still vaping, sort of ;)

Good Vape suggestions for hash/weed?
I recently quit tobacco for good and decided to switch to vaping.
The only one I’ve tried is the black mamba, and it wasn’t great. Felt like I was wasting my weed as has a huge chamber, yet it hardly produced any vapour, especially with the mouth piece on.
I’m new to vaping so I’m not sure what to expect Haha. If anyone could recommend a vape they have used for weed/hash long term and not had trouble with I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks guys

I'm glad to see DynaVaps and the Mighty come up immediately. I reckon they're the best mainstream vapes (I'd recommend a Tinymight over the Mighty, but they're hard to get hold of). The DynaVap requires a little mastery, but once you get the hang of it (wait for the clicks ;) you'll love it. It gives as good a vape as the best of them, the only downside (and my reason for using other things as well) is that its small.
The only thing that worries me is burning myself with it, as I’ll probably use it then forget how hot it is haha. Will definitely have to watch out for that. I prefer the fact that it’s small tbh as I’ll be using it when I’m out as well. But yeah it seems easy enough, ill figure it out I’m sure. You said you think they’re the best mainstream ones.. what ones would you recommend that aren’t mainstream?
My harder-to-find (and quite expensive!) recommendations would be the TinyMight (similar to the Mighty, but much prettier, more flexible and use, plus has swappable batteries). My ultimate is the FlowerPot, which is essentially an enail rig... completely non-portable, but incredibly powerful if that's your bag. I've got a very high tolerance, so I love it. I can fit a gram of bud in the chamber, pop a dab on top, and welly through the lot in just a few rips.
I'm in the same boat. Just give up baccy and switched to vaping. After reading alot of comments on here raving about it, I invested in the MIGHTY. Its pricey at £250 but it's well worth it if you're gonna use it every day. It doesn't produce massive clouds, but I think that's just inherent when vaping, (compared to smoking).
Doesn't beat a joint for me. But it's a nifty bit of kit

Appreciate the advice, good to know.
Same, I don’t think anything beats a joint. I’m thinking of getting a dynavap as I’ve heard it offers a similar experience to smoking. Really want to get the mighty, but that will have to wait. How long did it take you to get used to vaping Btw?

Switching from smoking pure bud to vaping pure bud is quite an easy transition IMO. Going from baccy joints to vaping pure bud is more of a leap. It might be easier trying to move from baccy joints to pure joints first. If you find the expansive smoke's a weird sensation, try adding a sprinkle of Moroccan hash in there too. That can help with the 'bite' and 'body' that might feel missing. I still have a (tobacco free) smoke at least 4 or 5 times a week. The rest of time I vape... and I frequently hit an ecig alongside my herbal vape, for the nic hit and the 'proper' clouds! But that's because I'm still addicted to nicotine (not something that bothers me particularly, as I haven't smoked tobacco for 6 or 7 years)
I did try a cheap £30 vape a few months ago and that was toss in the end. So if you're gonna make the leap, I'd spend the money

Decarb bud before smoking?
Does converting the thca to thc by decarbing before smoking have any benifit? could the thc being pre converted before the ignition result in more thc in the inhale?
Unless you roll particularly skinny joints, the burning cherry/embers will be heating unburned bud further down the spliff - effectively decarbing it before it ignites. I think you'd just lose terps/flavour rather than gain any benefit.
Found this on a site showing how temp vs time can make the weed stronger for edibles, the strain they used had around 15% thc content.

Cannabis and Covid 19
Most of the articles that I have read say all of us are putting ourselves at more risk. Then I read this last night.
So my question to all of my Lovely Bloody Stoners is how may of us in the community have or have had the virus?
So my question to all of my Lovely Bloody Stoners is how may of us in the community have or have had the virus?
They been lying about cannabis for years im not inclined to believe them now, chances are cannabis probably cures it.
Work in a warehouse with 300 other people, not one confirmed case. Been vaping and using rso through out this pandemic no symptoms of the rona yet...
Nah at least not confirmed. Over 50 self isolated but there was no testing available at the time. Know a few that have been tested now but all came back negative
I'm pretty sure I had it (everyone else in my house did, including my young daughter who doesn't do social distance!) but basically no symptoms for me (like a very mild cold). My bro-in-law got hospitalised though. I smoke more weed than he does (but I'm mostly a vaper) but he only recently gave up cigs... Cannabis is actually a broncho-dilator, so could be seen as beneficial for breathlessness. But then again, smoke irritate/inflames the airways, so could make things worse, depending on your own physiology.
Glad you are good! Glad your bro got thru as well, but I wonder if he had still been smoking if it would have been a different outcome.
Spoken to a few mates and only 1 has had it (that we know of) but about the same in the terms of symptoms as you.
I’m hopping for once I’m actually benefiting my health! LOL

I've got a Splinter Z, I loved the idea of it and it's well made, but I didn't get on with it so well. It's had great reports from other people I trust, but I couldn't get a consistent vape from it. I suspect it's because I'm also a long-time ecig user, so am conditioned to using my mods (and atomisers) in a certain way... which doesn't translate so well to the Splinter Z. The challenge is to maintain the temperature, which I could only do by pulsing on/off, but I never quite got the knack. I was undercooking or scorching and never found my rhythm. I suspect it's still got a lot of potential, I'm just more used to different devices and have slowly gravitated to just a small handful of chosen vapes (Puffco Peak, DynaVap, Flowerpot and Tinymight). Good luck with it when it lands!

THC VAPING SERIOUS HEALTH RISKS
So im turning 40 and making health changes for the better. Oje is to stop smoking altogther. When I saw vapes I thought perfect. I can still get my thc for my insonmia. Ive been using a number of vapes off here. However this past week ive been feeling unwell. My throat is on fire too and wheezy. (Might not be connected). However i stated looking into thc vaping. Apparently the vaping health issues in america are all thc vape related though being represented as nicotine vaping my the media.
Possible 2 issues. 1 - shitty cheap carts that leak heavy metals. 2 - being cut with dangerous thinners.
Watch this video it explains a bit. I looking to see if anyone knows more about this. I want to avoid any health risks. Information is key. Im considering ditching the whole vaping and moving to edibles though thats an expensive way to manage my insonmia. Or maybe just learn to make my own carts.
Any ideas?

Just as Oli said, the problems were caused by Black market dealers cutting them with Vitamin E and some of them even being cut with Fentanyl.
The chances of getting these carts in the UK now is very very low and the US have already cracked down on it very hard, arresting a lot of people selling them.
Stay away from Carts such as Dank & Mario.
I wouldn't recommend trying to make your own carts unless you're in a clean environment and know what you're doing. Otherwise pesticides, etc will come into play.
Best way I found the right carts was putting my health at risk and trying numerous different links until I had found the right one with a genuine high, decent thick oil and no after effects.
I'm sure there's no problem with any of the Carts being sold on LBiggy as everyone here actually cares about other people and I'm sure they've all trialed their carts before selling.

Like everyone else is pointing out... vaping THC is fine. It's vitamin E acetate you want to watch out for. It was a serious, but unintentional error IMO. Lesson learned by that whole industry by this point, so much less to worry about. That said, black market carts will always be a bit of an unknown, who know what the next scare is. Much easier (and probably safer) just to vape unadulterated extract by itself; plus it gets the job done much quicker!
If in doubt make it yourself, you just mix the shatter with an emulsifier like shatterbatter or wax and that's it.
This is what you need to turn your shatter, wax etc into a vape liquid
The health issues in the US were caused by vitamin e that the distillate was cut with. Can I ask what brand of carts you’ve been using?
live resin carts are not exempt from this but much less likely. the carts with flavours are cinvite adding all kinds of shit.

thanks biggaz
thanks biggaz
I vape concentrate with a Puffco pro 2, which is also about the size of a standard vape pen. Carts are easier as you don't have to carry your concentrate/loading tools but vaping wax/shatter is a stronger hit.
I have done, and it's really nice. I use a Yocan Plus XL, about the same size as a large vape pen.
There are plenty of mainstream sites that sell such things though. Why not go there? I don't imagine many vendors here get wholesale prices on vaporizers, so you'd only end up paying more.
yeah but i trust what my biggaz have to say about this and im hassling with btc anyway so why not keep it on the dl
i use a flytlab concentrates vape and also a tesla which is very small and fits in your palm.
Daily electro-dabber here. The Puffco Peak even retired my proper torch/nail rig. It's over-priced for what it is, but I've not found anything that works better whilst being relatively faff-free, easy to clean etc. For portability, I found the Puffco pro/plus OK, but not quite powerful enough. I really like the Saionara vaporizers for on-the-move wax vaping... does require a separate ecig/battery (but still works out cheap in total).

Let's talk about cheap Cali
Having learned so much about the Cali movement recently I've been wondering. Does genuine Cali weed justify the price? And do you trust cheap Cali weed? I've recently learned there is a big difference between the two.
Copy of my post from this topic: https://littlebiggy.org/link/JbKY7I
"Personally I'd avoid Cali. UK grown/EU imports like Purple Dawg, Slurricane, Purple Chemdawg, Mochi, Banana Strawberry, Sherbet Cookies, 24k Kush. All insanely high hitters than match Cali for half the price. They're all incredible flavours at >20% THC.
All you're paying for with Cali is the privilege of having weed sent from California. And most of the time it's sent over here because it doesn't pass USA dispensary regulations. Think about it. Why would they bother shipping it illegally if they could sell it legally at a premium? Because they can't. If you're spending less that £90-100 per 1/8th it ain't legit Cali. Support UK Bud."
What do you guys think? Should we stop supporting dispensary illegal Cali?

Cheap Cali does exist and will be in the form of organic / sun grown or greenhouse. Cali is expensive because of how much time and energy is put into these small personally catered grows. That plus importing it is where the high prices come in. Besides really really top stuff sells at no joke $500 a Oz in the USA so when stuff of that quality comes here you bet your ass it's going to be expensive. Branded/unbranded can add to the prices but at the end of the day that age old saying of what you pay is what you get is especially relevant.
how do you add youtube video clips? like that?. when i paste a link its just the link with writing. but yours shows up as video staright away.
Personally I treat the UK/Dutch/Cali distinctions more like a grading system now compared to where it was actually sourced, and I'm sure most vendors do the same too. Seeing as anyone with enough know how and the proper set up can match actual Cali dispensary grade, the environment it's grown in is entirely simulated, unless it's sun grown the geographic location in which it was grown is pretty irrelevant IMHO
Ultimately, it's just a premium price for a brand name; just like with clothing, fashion etc. Before it went legal (rec) in Cali, I used to get imports from there a lot. Firstly, it worked out cheaper for high end and secondly, you could get outdoor/greenhouse of an excellent quality. That doesn't tally with the packaged/branded nonsense. If it decently priced outdoor/gh cali, I'll grab it (I'm convinced the full spectrum light from the actual sun brings out a fuller high, even if outdoor smokes can be harsher) but if I'm after top end indoor/hydro, I stick to UK. Like the craft beer scene, the best UK products can readily compete with the best US ones... and the journey to your rolling tray will involve less man-handling of the delicate goods!
That would be the mass importing of Cali weed in general. And the popularity of it in the UK. It being the fashionable weed to have at the moment. Very much in popular demand, has lots of buzz, etc.
interesting seems like ginormous potential for bullshit. there is no name control, does it require postal proof or something?
Something to bear in mind when you find cheap cali in the packs is whether it has the official silver seal. As a quick search on eBay for cali weed packs brings loads of them up delivered from China so you could be buying anything and they just put it in a pack to sell it as cali. Saying that most the stuff I have had around the £50 - £60 range has always been mid/top quality. The other thing I have heard on the grape vine is that all the official bud from cali gets brought through these vape shops we see everywhere, as a lot of them are American companies. That's just something I have heard being said by a couple people(so if you want cali just ask the guy behind the counter of your local vape shop lol)
Ebay link with the search "cali weed pack" shows bags, tin labels and tins. Some even coming with the all important silver hologram seal.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Cali+weed+packs&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.XCali.TRS0

I will always stick to my point of cali weed been over hyped apart from a select few names, and even then vendors are pricing them up a lot more than what they are worth. UK are killing it right now with some amazing grows same with dutch sooner people recognise that the better tbh.
I find cali weed is expensive, but usually here you really do get what you pay for and the cali bud from the popeofdope is always top quality and always strong hitters and flavours.
Too expensive for an every day smoke, but for a weekend treat or if I really want to mong out its perfect
Too expensive for an every day smoke, but for a weekend treat or if I really want to mong out its perfect
I think the main reasons I might pay for it, is that it's grown in prohibition free farms. more time to flush the product, pick the product, trim the product, research the product, reach standards currently not implemented in prohibition states such as the united kingdom.
they are able to share grow techniques witout the fear of the law. thats not to say the uk isn't hitting it into the long grass atm, especially considering the circumstances. I just hope that Boris can see the idiocracy of it all, and simply legalise it in the UK asap, take the tax and allow us to engage in the now worldwide industry, meaning US weed could be imported as freely as the (superior) UK weed could be exported.

DynaVap + Rosin pressing lessons learned
Hi all!
I've now written a few different posts in the last few days (Christmas weed and accessories time) and I want to tie them all up with some lessons that I think are worth sharing with LB community. I saw many of you ended up getting your own DynaVap from my review.
1. DynaVap review: https://littlebiggy.org/link/oTYHXs
2. Rosin press Stardawg (with some CW too): https://littlebiggy.org/link/MH2BCe
3. Rosin press Wedding Cake: https://littlebiggy.org/link/KM46U7
DynaVap Tips:
- Respect the click (sometimes). Mostly don't forget to wait for the cooling click before reheating and burning your stuff or potentially ruining your cap
- Smoking some has in there is great, other not as much. I hard some harder hash that I could grind in my grinder. That smoked super well in there. However I got some really nice and play dough like hash... so far I couldn't smoke that as well. I've had to go up to 4 seconds after the click to get the temp I need... and then the whole thing just gets too hot. But you do still get that amazing hash flavor though. Very nice with the DynaVap.
- Smoking rosin in here is amazing.
- I also got the DynaCoil concentrate attachment... so far I'm not loving it tbh. I like just putting some hemp fiber and putting them on top... I'll do more testing... but so far
- When hitting flower, you can mainly keep the air port clear (this is not a carb), put your finger over it a bit to make it more intense, but for the most part you don't need it.
- With extracts. I recommend keeping your finger on it, and then roll it back and forth in your fingers fast. I find that builds up the best vapor with concentrates.
- Still working on how to vape oily hash well with this. Tips welcomed.
Rosin Pressing:
- For flower make sure it's got good moisture. If it's dry, the flower will absorb the rosin back into itself. If it's dry with a lot of trichomes, then do kief press.
- For flower I put my flat iron on 140c for around 10-15 seconds with some good pressure. I find that listening to when the sizzle starts to die down is a good time to stop.
- With kief, I was doing a 60 second press at 90 degrees. That gave me an interesting wax like consistency that was easy to work with. You can also do 140c for 10-15 seconds with that to get the more shatter like substance.
I'll add more tips on here as they come up. Good to have one place.

Have a look on amazon for product called Cotton Bacon - pure cotton wick - works better than hemp fibre as no weird taste to it.
I do love my Dynavaps, I just wish they had a slightly bigger capacity. I use a Dynacoil for concentrates, and I absolutely love it, but I have a dedicated Dynavap for it - if you try swapping the coil in and out, it's just a sticky mess.
For melty hashes, I use the hemp fibre stuff, chopped up a bit - I roll the hash into a long thing sausage, then roll in the fibre to cover the outsides. Then twirl the whole thing into a little coil and drop it into a cap; usually comes out leaving a fairly clean interior.
Not tried making my own rosin yet, but it's only a matter of time ;)

Thanks for the tips. I actually just tried rosin extracting my mushy hash, and smoking that... worked but I feel like I need to perfect my formula.
But yeah, the capacity is limited for sure.

Great post, I didn't know you could pretty much smoke anything in a vape. I need to check those out. Thanks for doing all the experimenting so we don't have to, much appreciated. Think I'll look in to doing some rosin pressing after the holidays when everything is back to normal.
Deff recommend giving it a go.

It does seem rare to find good buds to press. I think you'll find more luck with pressing kief or hash on this site. Doing some hash pressing now to test it out. Will do a write up when I get time.
Just tried pressing the 818 Headband bud, sadly not getting too much of a return on it, but what I am getting looks nice enough. I'll probably dry sift it now and test out the kief on it.

I did not know you could press hash. Like the oily decent stuff? Please do that's interesting.
Ah no luck. What do you consider a good yield and bad yield from pressing?
Ah no luck. What do you consider a good yield and bad yield from pressing?
Yeah the good oily hash can be rosin extracted. I’m new to this and not doing any measuring, so cant answer that, but compared to the wedding cake, pressing a 818 bud was not as good by a long shot. I need to get enough extract to make it worth destroying the bud for it. With the wedding cake it was, with the 818 it wasn’t.
Once i perfect this, i’ll do bigger batches and more measuring.

New soft hash into DynaVap tip. Here we mix my two loves together.
As I said I was struggling to get good hits off of soft hash. The hard stuff that I could grind was fine, but the soft stuff just wasn't working.
Now I took my nice soft hash and pressed it at 140c for about 10 seconds... then just scarped up all that beautiful rosin... popped it into my DynaVap and blamo.
Great flavor and GREAT STONE.
Biggies... I'll say it one more time... pressing and dynavap is the way forward for the mega stoners among us.

Best vape for hash?
Can anyone recommend a smallish, electronic (don’t want to have to whip out a butane torch in a pub garden) vapouriser that’s capable of handling hash? Usually charas rather than pollen. Cheers biggaz!
Any that go to a higher temp will do, the trouble is the mess that melted hash makes. I'd recommend using a little degummed hemp fibre around your hash to protect whatever-the-vape's chamber. Or, my preferred method, a Mighty/Crafty using the little dosing capsule's they make - just have to bin 'em afterwards. But truth be told, I still prefer smoking hash... it can be done, but the pressed stuff just becomes a faff to vape effectively.
sounds intriguing what are the closing capsules. i really want a nice vape but i don't ever want to clean it i'd rather take my chances with carts :)
The dosing capsules are cheap, disposable containers that perfectly fit the Mighty/Crafty/Plenty chambers (available in packs of 50 I think). They're made from aluminium with tiny holes punched across their surface - you fill them with herb (or indeed, hash), put the lid on and drop the whole capsule into the vape chamber. Once it's vaped up, you just take the capsule out and chuck the whole thing (you can re-use them if you're careful, but tricky with melty hash).
I got the crafty about a year ago and use it mainly for bud. It does a really good job, you can hide it in your palm and if you have nice quality dry-ish flower that crumbles nice between your fingers, the effects from it are really good. Better quality medicine than a pipe/bong/joint. I’ve also tried it with hash, Nepalese soft and Moroccan dry sifts, good quality and shit quality and failed to get any good results. Tried a few methods, with the supplied concentrate pad, the dosing capsule, mixed in with bud and just on its own and it’s nowhere near like having a pipe of hashish. I also found low quality soft hashes would melt through the screens, which will probably fuck the heating system up eventually. I would highly recommend Storz and Bickel as a company, my first vape stopped working due to a faulty power button and they replaced it with a brand new vape tracked from Germany to UK very quickly. Had no problems at all with the current one. Hope you find a good hash vape DB and if you have any luck I’d be happy to know

How long will shatter keep good in the freezer?
I've had a little bit in the freezer for a while now, just wondering roughly how long till it loses its potency?
I had some in the freezer for 4 months, opened, and still the same as the fresh stuff, didn’t notice any change.
Apparently storing shatter in the freezer long term can mess up its consistency, but I've given up caring too much, as consistency doesn't seem to affect potency. I've had shatter/wax/etc in the freezer for up to a year or so, and personally, I didn't notice any major drop in potency. Not that a side-by-side comparison was possible, but my frozen packs did the job just as well as the fresh ones... they could have started at 90% THC and dropped to 70, and I'd be none the wiser; but I can say that year old frozen shatter can still do the job! (PS my frozen ones were unopened and vac-sealed, which may have helped with preservation)
Nice one thanks for the info mate. Damn a year.. crazy. It does make sense though as we freeze stuff to preserve it so why would shatter be different.

Flower Vapes portable or desktop.
I’m currently using the Fenix 2.0 which is pretty good but looking to see what everyone else swears by?
Think you really need to look at where you vape... make it a lot easier, if I’m out I’ll just wrap a small spliff tbh, I only vape at home and generally late at night so my decision was easy, desktop... at this point no portable can compete with the top end desktops and that’s an end of really. I’ve got a Supreme V3 and a Flowerpot Weedeater and both hit like a fucking freight train! Only portables I’ve enjoyed are the Milaana 2 and the Mighty, again session vs on demand so you really need to think how and where you want to vape.
Little edit, on my hit list is the Solo 2 as I really think as a supper for lone use it’s unbeatable for the price.

I tend to use the Mighty and Dynavap for most of my flowever vaping. Both portable... though I like using the DV with an induction heater when I'm at my desk, just for convenience. Got an Arizer EQ, Solo, Solo Air and MiniVap that now just sit in a cupboard. But if you're looking for a new bit of kit, I'd wait and see what Storz & Bickel do next...
I had the desktop da Buddha vaporiser which I think is very similar if not the same as the silver surfer but when that broke I got a pax 3 handheld and it’s awesome! I used to find that I’d start vaping but always end up going back to smoking after a while but with the pax 3 the added portability means I can take it wherever I want and therefore I’ve not smoked for 6 months. (Plus it comes with an extra piece for concentrates)
I've had a Silver Surfer, but find I keep going back to the good old Arizer Solo 2 because of it's convenient form factor and the fact that very little can go wrong with it, unless you break the glass stem.
I use a mighty for most of my sessions at home and sometimes I also get out the arizer solo II which is also awesome if you’re on a budget - also tend to use a WPA and bong for both. Occasionally also get out the arizer extreme q with DDave mods.
If I’m out and about I’ll either use the mighty or an old dynavap

I just sold both the Fenix and the KandyPens Oura and bought the Storz & Bickel Mighty, it’s a big improvement on the Fenix for taste, usability and achieves a better smoke. In reference to dabbing concentrate I’m back to my High Standards glass dab rig, while the Oura was impressive as a non blow torch effort it doesn’t hit nearly as hard as a good old fashioned blow torch heated banger ? I’d highly recommend the Mighty to any flower vape enthusiasts, the initial monetary sting is soon lost in it quality.
Pax 2 and MFLB - love the MFLB it’s so discreet and virtually no smell you could literally vape next to someone and they wouldn’t know! The Cloudious9 Atomic9 looks pretty good to they should be stocking in the EU soon :)

Bullionaire vape cart review (real Cali cart)
Hi all!
Like many, I stopped buying vape carts after the big vape death scare earlier this year. Now that doctors are saying it looks like it was mainly the vitamin E oil, I decided to try a legit Cali cart that I knew had been tested properly to give these things another go.
I've always found carts to not really give me a satisfactory high, there is always some depth that I feel is missing. I know not everyone feels this, however I have heard this before from others as well. I was hoping that a legit cali cart would give me a bit more kick.
In comes the Bullionaire cart made out of the popular Runtz strain. I was very excited to try this, bought it as a little Christmas present for myself. Once it arrived, I was impressed. The packaging is nice, and the oil in the cart itself is almost clear. You can tell this is a high end vape cart.
Smoking it, it hits super smooth, so far everything is as expected. The sad part comes when the high hits. First, it's the same type of high I've gotten off of all other vape carts. It just isn't giving me that good high that I get when vaping actual flower.
At least now I know... vape carts, no matter what the quality, just aren't for me =/

I'm so pleased you wrote this review. I've literally just done the same thing... testing out the Runtz bullionaire to challenge my expectations. I've been a daily dabber for years, and I'm an e-cig user as well, so carts really appeal to me as a concept. But I've tried many and various and none of them have been comparable to dabbing (our using my Puffco Peak), or just smoking/vaping some herb. Convenient yes, but lacking in effect; and the actual hardware involved, those carts, just don't taste great...
It's a real shame that there are these really interesting terpy sauce extracts, and then they get put into mass-manufactured super-cheap Chinese hardware. The carts just don't work properly, you either have to under-power the vape; with unsatisfying volumes of vapour... or you turn it up and risk a scorched taste.
I completely agree... if this is as good as carts get, and I can believe it is, then they're just not for me. And although it's a bit messier, I actually prefer the purer experience of putting MJConcentrates distillate into a Ccell cart. They still don't wick properly, but the %THC is probably a bit higher.
I considered emptying out the carts and using the liquid in a better quality rebuildable atomiser (for nic vaping). But I can't be arsed, I'll just go back to my dab rig in the meantime!
As far as I'm concerned, these carts are for one-off random stealth moments, and nothing else. I'll save this bullionaire thing for a stay at relatives over Xmas, otherwise, it's going right to the back of the drawer!

"if this is as good as carts get, and I can believe it is, then they're just not for me."
This part of your comment stood out and had me wondering if a "Juul" style breakthrough is possible for THC carts. Low dose nicotine, I'm told, was always a problem with vapes until Juul came along with their patented method of mixing freebase nicotine with some kind of benzoic acid? In any case, they made e-cigs pack a punch that was previously lacking. And now... Juul is worth billions. (Not an exaggeration.)

Thanks for the response... good to know I'm not alone. I agree, the stealth is unbeatable, so I guess i'll save it for those occasions.
P.S. I'll just add that the high off of this cart is definitely a bit stronger than other carts I've had. It is super relaxing, making me a bit sleepy. The high even managed to cut through a shatter high... so it is strong in its own way. However, it just doesn't have the same "depth" as shatter/flower high for me.
Yup. They're like a watered down apéritif, as opposed to a good stiff double shot of single malt whiskey.
Yeah that's a good comparison haha... actually, getting blasted and then using a vape as a topper is fairly nice actually. Just trying it out now, especially these buillonair ones, they are super relaxing, so getting that on top of a good shatter high is working for me.
A fair and honest review epix. Shame you don't get on well with carts. I've really enjoyed MJs ones, think their next level and personally one of my favourite ways to consume thc at the moment.
I agree with what your saying about the high. It is different from a dab or bowl, kinda feels like an edible high myself but comes on within a few minutes or so instead of an hour+. 4-6 puffs gets me to a great place, but if I'm sober I definitely feel a little something after only 2.

Yeah... I think I might have ruined myself with tolerance tbh. I think they would be great at a lower tolerance level. I'm actually doing a 1 month tolerance break in January... will try again after that.
But yeah, it's a shame for sure. They are so convenient and smell free that I wish they worked better for me.

That's not a bad idea to be honest, I might have to join you in your pilgrimage to a lower tolerance.
And I wouldn't say they are completely smell free, at least not the black cherry soda cart I had. Went out with work mates and thought I'd be sneaky with my vape, had a few puffs in the smoking area and everyone instantly knew someone was using weed, I quickly put it in my pocket and because they were all to drunk none the wiser it was me lol.

Oh wow that's interesting... I think it depends on the cart. Some of them are using actual weed terps in them, others just put in some random flavor, so you can't tell the difference.
I think since MJ makes his with concentrates, they will smell like vaping concentrates... and I think that's why his are better than many.
Another cart that I actually did like a bit was a Mario Cart from the pope. Like any weed, I think a lot of it is completely personal bio chemistry

How much does your weekly smoke cost?
Whats up LB!
Since I found this wonderful place the cost of my little hobby has went through the roof! I put that down to wanting to try all these wonderful new things (concentrates, edibles, Cali flowers.. there's just so much to try).
For me I can manage to make 2-3g last me all day as long as I don't start smoking till after 5pm. So if I take it easy and buy a Oz I'm around £150/week in flower + probs £40 in other purchases (shatter, hash, etc).
So this got me thinking.. what is your weekly toke bill on average? And how do you keep costs low if possible?

too much. I like distillates to ingest orally while puffing on a cart so about 1 cart/10 days + 1 syringe/week = $120/week, give or take
throw in a few edibles & Green Dragon (made myself) on Saturday night date night with the wife

I'm a pretty heavy stoner, but keep my costs down by relying mostly on concentrates. I tend to get Canadian dispensary products which work out 30-40 quid per gram. At a push, using efficient kit (Puffco Peak/Dab rig) I can make 1 gram last a week. But typically, I'll get through 2g of concentrates a week, along with a henry or so of bud and a couple of grams of hash. I guess I'm spending about 100 a week, but I'm OK with that.
How many dabs do you get out a gram? If I made the full switch to concentrates I doubt I'd need very much at all. 100 is a decent amount of smoke for sure I would be happy with that too.
I don't think I've ever counted really... I've usually got 4 or 5 different waxes/shatters on the go at once, so it's hard to tell. Got to be at least 20 dabs from 1g (for me)... I just tried to weigh the piece of shatter I'm about to dab, the scales read 0.00! I once attempted a 0.25g dab (which is still small compared to some... possibly?) but pretty much coughed it all out straight away. I like to hold them down for a good 30 seconds...
I wouldn’t recommend making any logs whatsoever. As unlikely as it may be, you’re just asking for trouble if the old bill come knocking.

Shatter questions
I've been looking at getting some shatter but don't have a dab rig. Is there other ways you can smoke it? Like can you break it into a spliff or pipe or something??
Lots of ways without those ridiculous (imho) rigs. Chop up very little pieces into a joint or even a hand rolled Cigarette. Very efficient way to get THC into your bloodstream quickly.
That's weird. I've enquired with both of those and they both said they don't ship to UK.
I tried captain crunch, both the "wax" and "shatter" (There were two on offer and I ordered both)
It was my first time though. I bought a basic dab rig and blow torch thingy. (melted marshmallow is the best) Most people who dab want to avoid smoking mass amounts to get really stoned from what I can tell. I really like dabs. Definitely gets you high. I'm in Aus so have never seen any locally or anything, just here on lil big and youtube inst etc. You might be able to hot knife the dabs or a joint as mentioned but its actually really hard to work with. The "shatter" I got was more like honey and was as sticky as industrial glue or something. The wax was a little more handlable.
Anyway thought I'd share my experience.
Peace :)

Thanks mate. I tried nextdayweed they had some very tasty live resin. Highly recommended.
It's amazing mate. Incredibly strong and one hit gets you lifted for a good few hours. I highly recommend. I had the orange cheesecake and it was lovely.
Only thing, make sure it'd kept in the fridge. Once it dries out fully it doesn't taste anywhere near as good. Keep it in the fridge keeps it sticky.
I've had a couple of different live resins from NDW, they were both absolutely banging. I don't think they're that expensive for extracts, 40-50 per g is about right for the good ones. This was a touch over, but was right up there quality-wise. It's as potent as you can expect from an extract, you could get the same % cheaper, I'm sure... but you get a full whack of terps from these too. Really flavourful, with those synergistic nuances to the high...
yeah i've had the flower from them. I reckon its the quickest. took like a week to get to here to aus. tasty stuff too. will try the dabs next.
Peace :)
Peace :)
Consider wax it burns a little easier than shatter which is like a rock. You can even stick it into a cigarette if you chop it really fine?
Hi mate. Not sure how old this topic is but it sounds like you want a Dab straw/Nectar collector.

Normally with shatter you should have a dab rig, i personally don't either, but i usually sprinkle it in a spliff as i pretty much don't use glass pieces apart from my glass blunt which i only use occasionally, but if you have a pipe or bong you can easily just sprinkle it over the bowl.

THC vapes and lung illnesses
Any thoughts on the recent news about vapes
And deaths sweeping USA? 6 deaths so far with about
400 serious cases mainly involving vapes ?
And deaths sweeping USA? 6 deaths so far with about
400 serious cases mainly involving vapes ?
Sorry, but there's a fair amount of misinformation in this topic. Water vapour in the lungs is not particularly dangerous... otherwise we couldn't all take hot showers, baths... saunas etc. That's not the problem (and inhaling smoke into the lungs is undeniably more hazardous). The deaths related to vaping have been linked to a form of Vitamin E added to the vape mixture. This is not standard practise for nicotine liquids, or cannabis liquids. It's only appeared on the black market, for unscrupulous sellers bulking out THC vapes.
The problem with this is that this chemical behaves like an oil, therefore congesting the lungs and leading to lipid pneumonia. But let's not pretend this is a widespread problem with vaping - given the millions of vapers out there, the current cases constitute an absolutely tiny proportion. People are NOT dying fast from vaping. Cases of respiratory disease are falling, thanks to fewer people smoking.
There is no significant damage done from pure THC, nicotine or water vapours being inhaled into/exhaled from your lungs. Far less than noxious smoke containing tar and tens of thousands of other compounds. The current drama has just been stirred up to give Trump something to campaign on. Vaping is a huge boon to public health, as the majority of independent medical experts would attest to.
It's just a reminder that people shouldn't vape (smoke or eat!) anything if they're not completely sure what's in it. You're only going to run into trouble if you end up vaping something unvapeable. I vape e cigs and cannabis buds, hash and concentrates. But I don't buy those pre-filled THC carts, I buy empty CCells and fill them with pure distillate I've sourced myself. I'd try them from licensed dispensaries in legal states, but I'd never risk buying one from the kid on the corner...
