The number of red flags here is crazy. I'll keep an eye out for the feedback.

Okay ;)

Why call yourself a Terp Whore and then upload a picture of some brown dead stardawg full of leaf, That looks like it has just been found squashed down the side of the sofa from 2003.

Nice empty canned drink in the background also. Haha

Even at those prices that bud looks like its on deaths doors.

No thanks.

Stardog?

I dunno mate.

This is Stardog 😉

If you ever list b-grade you should add mongolian to the name aha

That looks like some good stardawg

Maybe a photo outside the bag?

Just didn’t want to leave it blank and the only funny pic I found

I will take a photoshoot tomorrow

And I know the weed market very well I think these smalls will please alot

I know people calling it garbage and that’s because the photos are terrible

But have u guys noticed the prices ?

Try beat that

Everything in this world is about price : quality ratio

I didn’t call this small batch top tier perfectly trimmed bud did I now fellas

Too much testosterone here. Not enough gentle woman

Cleanest /safest would be through Sayno2drugs. They're the only vendor that sells genuine dispensary grade carts. What I mean by that, is in order to be sold in dispensaries, they must go through thorough testing via official labs in the US.

I haven’t tried the shatter yet. but i’ve tried 100% D9, 100% live resin and 50/50. My personal favourite for safety mixed with potency is the 50/50. gives me a strong hit from the d9 and then a very nice body and head high from resin. it’s a nice smooth slow start but comes on heavy later. live resin and the 50/50 is closer to real bud and d9 is the more potent thc concentrated part. so overall, with the prices 50/50 is the fav, cheap safe, tasty and great high.

I avoid carts with added terpenes, wish there were more available with no added terps.

in terms of actual safety and ‘clean’ there’s not much difference in them all. it’s very much down to the vendor not the different types. MJ is a safe vendor imo so you will have no issue with any. i’d recommend doing more research or maybe trial 1 each and then decide!

‘Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas’ by Hunter S Thompson- it’s a classic!

That book is so, so funny.

No one else has described "the fear" quite like it.

Thanks, I always assumed it was autobiographical, I'll give it a go

There is a stark realism that shows he has definitely “been there” but the craziness and quantities involved have to be fiction- I don’t believe anyone could walk away from those levels! (Even Jonny Depp in the film version!)
Let us know your view!

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
by Tom Wolfe

A classic.

If you're even remotely into late 60s psychedelia you must read this book.

Non fiction but key.

Just come round my house on a weekend you won't need to read a novel. Lol. 🍄😁

Spot on mystery man!

Have you ever read ‘The Acid House’ by Irvine Welsh. A book of short stories the majority of which centre around people on an LSD trip. Very very funny book

Fkn love all his books... filth, acid house, trainspotting, there all so close to real life for Irvine not to have dabbled in drugs...

Weird I was talking to my mate about that one yesterday, neither of us could remember if there were any LSD related stories it's been so long

The original trip novel but about mescaline - doors of perception by Aldous Huxley, the brave new world guy…

Classic text - well worth reading in full, not just his description of the mescaline experience.

I had a copy with my extensive handwritten notes comparing some of his description with my first psylocybin experience. But to this day I had never had mescaline.

Talking about mescaline Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan trilogy is worth a look although it is hard to separate fact from fiction.

Trilogy? The first 3 books?

Naked Lunch by William S Borroughs

there is a great movie directed by Ken Russell called Altered States, the original novel was by Paddy Chayefsky.

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. A bit of insight into the history and counterculture. And as already mentioned, Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley.

Island by Aldous Huxley.

The BIBLE

the best of all time is the teachings of don Juan by carlos casteneda. It is amazing. and dont care about people saying its not real, its real, its just written in a fictional way to make it seem like legitimate research. its one of the best novels ever written.

“LSD my problem child” is a really good book by Albert Hoffmann the person who was the first to take LSD and discover it. And “How to change your mind” is another good book

and a great series now on Netflix :-)

Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon contains an awesome acid sequence about 100 pages in. The Illuminatus trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson also has many mind bending episodes.

“Trippers” by William.J.Booker
“The Mad Artist” by Roger Keen
Especially the latter as he describes his trip on microdots. Funny and terrifying.

Have a look at Irvine Welsh bro/sis he's defo took some of the love liquid ✌️✌️

Has to be the TELETUBBIES you don't need any pycadelics watching that so it saves money.

Hey friend, sounds like you have a great project on yoru hands. I would highly recommend "LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven" by Chris B bases his research on the grandfather Stan Grof's high dose LSD therapy. There are so many amazing insights which would help you in your script.

Good luck and when you finish would be very interested in reading :-)

Peace, love and Connection 🙏

We believe the best novel content is writing about your own experience ;) If you ever want to give us a shout! The friends below know :-))))) Love your work :-)

Hello, as previously mentioned, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Aldous Huxley's Doors of Perception and William S Burroughs The Naked Lunch is pretty out there!

Hey Family,

Try "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe.

This non-fiction book delves into the experiences of author Ken Kesey and his group of friends, known as the Merry Pranksters, as they embark on a cross-country journey experimenting with various mind-altering substances. The story captures the spirit of the 1960s counterculture movement and offers a firsthand account of their wild adventures, psychedelic trips, and exploration of consciousness. It provides a unique insight into the impact of these substances on individuals and their interactions with society.

Peace and Respect

My diary lol but you're not having that

At the end of trailer park boys, the main characters consume a lot mushrooms. So much that they turn into cartoons, which leads into the shows animated series.

Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg has a telepath character undergoing a bad acid trip by proxy

Ecstasy Club, you can get it from America on eBay. And automated alice

'Stone Junction' by Jim Dodge.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter Thompson
A reality tip - LSD effects drop off the more frequently it is taken - if your characters are dropping tabs more than once a week, then they are no longer tripping

Hi desydesy

That is a very good point which I made lately about trying to have tow mushroom trips back to back. It doesn't work for the same reasons.

Your post reminded me of - not fiction - but those horrible stories abut project MkUltra.

According to wikipedia Ken Kesey himself first encountered LSD in an MkUltra funded trial.

I remember the book passage where he described a squirrel dropping an acorn sounding blue.

What I meant by horrible stories is those stories of them keeping people on acid for days on end.

Not sure if it's true.

That being said there is a well known and hilarious youtube clip of the Bristish Army undergoing the same kind of military research regimen in 1964 I think.

My missus will be a giggling mess after 3 puffs on one of these so go easy ! Make sure you vape at a low wattage as well :)

@onthehunt thanks for the heads up! Annoyingly UPS didn’t deliver my battery so it’s distillate tonight. Will take a puff of vape tomorrow, before my mother in law turns up for the weekend... :D

What would happen if one vaped at a higher wattage. Just bad taste or can the cart be damaged?

I used to vape and having a coil which was too hot can create spitting liquid and just be unpleasant!

It'll be harsh and makes me cough. Nice and gentle on a low temp gets the best out of the oil :)

And what if there is a metalic/plastic taste to the vapor? Is it a lousy tasting vape juice then? Or some sort of fault in the cart?

I couldn't comment on that I'm afraid. What I would say is if you take a dab in a dab rig too hot it tastes nasty and induces coughing, I'd imagine the oil being vaped too hot would have the same effect. That's just my intuition though, certainly not for sure.

ok, I will know for sure when I try few more carts, thanks for the replies mate.

Dr Extracts all the way, and for many reasons, one and the main one being price, 1ml $48 go see reviews he's absolute best and I want people to have the best quality best quantity and best prices on here, don't spent $37 on 0.45 when you can get 1ml at $48, also the Dr comes with guarantees, this guy isn't gonna reship or provide tracking, if its lost you lose your bitcoin and your overpriced package, did it to me and I fkd him off for good after 3 years of consistent buying I couldn't believe he did me like that but he did, I will always point people in the right direction on here to the fairest of the vendors this guys prices are as unfair as his policy on reship and "providing tracking" something the guy puts in his bio but doesn't provide upon losing a package

Thanks for the feedback Forestfire, that’s really insightful and we will take on board. Sounds like it could be a fun journey!

Don’t settle for anything less than the very best.

I’d be keen to hear from any of you that have had the Ice Cream Cake or the Tropical Cookies, just to get a sense of their flavour/effects?

Have a happy weekend all Biggers x

Im also newb to vape-carts. I got this T.Cookies and Id say its cool. It leans to an indica high a bit, but thats the cookies I guess.. never had it in flower form so Im not sure. But the high is nice and the cart is too small ,.-)

Thanks for that.

I’m buzzing as I just went to collect my battery.

Going to do a hit of Tropicana when it’s charged up.

So I had 3 drops of sativa distillate, then a few hours later I’ve had 3 puffs then 4 puffs on the vape cart. Feeling good!

bookmarked for when I hit the lottery haha.. cheers

Hi Forestfire,

Thank you for your review and bringing up these subjects. The benefit of distillate is indeed (the possible) very high THC content and a very clean concentrate. Downside is a that most of the time that is all you get: THC. No other cannabinoids or terpenes. Terpenes are later added to give it the so called entourage effect.
Rosin in general has a lot of lipid & fats in it off the plant material. And is better suitable to dab. You can not put it straight in to carts. You have to do things to mitigate this. Put even rosin in it's raw form has at the highest 80% THC in it. We invested in some testing equipment and tested most of our rosin in the low 70%. But we are underwhelmed by this device to be honest. For example we were never able to measure the CBD level with it.
One of the things we do to mitigate the lipids & fats is adding unflavored terpenes to it. So that waters down the THC (and other cannabinoids).
But the benefit is much more natural taste of the flower and a full/broad spectrum of cannabinoids of the flower. We always been saying that if look for something very/super strong go for a distillate and not our carts. Or maybe the Double trouble were we added distillate to make it stronger. But this will still be lower then a straight distillate cart.
We also want to add that AVD devices are great, but there so called high setting is still only 3.5 volt. Our M3 is 3.6 volt and if you want big clouds or throat hits is still on the low side in our opinion. I hope this helps and don't hesitate to contact again if you have more questions.

Have a Chiller weekend

Yes, this issue is important to me. I don't want to potentially put money in the hands of violent gangs running shitty operations with human trafficking and modern slavery.

The best thing about LB for me is being able to buy DIRECT from legit, knowledgeable growers who care about what they are doing and are selling their own produce.

The vendors I've tried so far who most represent this spirit are:

UKCannaFarm - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4791333

GreenFinger - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4779547

There are others on here who do this, like ChronusBuds and British Bulldog. I have yet to try them, but it looks like they get v.good feedback too.

When a new indie grower like this joins LB comes along and gets noticed, there are usually multiple attempts to leave fake negative reviews. These can only be coming from some of the shadier vendors trying to force them off the items wall, or off the site completely - just ignore this kind of hate and show love to the decent biggaz!

Thank you for the mention, Father Jack, PM me for a sample if you want to try, no problem.

Awesome, will do, ChronusBuds!

Love this comment, well said.

I agree, I really don’t want to be part of a problem with the most simple answer (legalise it, but a conversation for another time).

Thank you for highlighting vendors you have researched, I will look them up.

If I may just add to your list of decent vendors, I have been using MKK2020 a lot and I believe they grow a lot of their own. The service is excellent to the point where I had a minor issue and they resolved it brilliantly.

Cheers

Save

Give me a number, or a word, I'll write it on a piece of paper then put it infront of my grow.

I'm of dual heritage, but yeah, I'm British (as you might have guessed)

Nothing to hide. But I agree, let's oust the dodgy geezers on here.

Cheers BB

I'd do the same if it helped.

But I would take a guess that most vendors arnt growers themselves.

Thanks for your openness, I get the feeling most venders on here are genuine like yourself, but there is a dark side to this industry that are also in the business of people trafficking and slavery and there products should not reach the LB community.

goodonya

Noble enough sentiment, but you do then start to ask about the potential human cost that put your shirt on your back and the potential inhumanity that put that sausage on your plate.
I get it that suffering in the drug chain is a big part of the ‘Just Say No’ argument but it’s hardly unique in mass consumerism. I guess growing your own is the way to go (and making your own clothes, going vegan etc)...just don’t have time.

I hear you pollypuff and agree whole heartedly, unfortunately I suffer from the inherent human disposition of only seeing the problems in things when they have affected you or someone close to you.

Thanks Forestfire, My needs are not medical though, I just love to get high from time to time!

we need a decentralised testing solution. the last thing i want in my life is some twat with the authority to tell me if i can smoke weed.

It’s pretty revealing that even in some US states that have legal weed they have banned carts! They can’t seem to get to the bottom of what’s causing the sudden health issues- some say it’s added solvents, even pesticides! Much debate was about soluble vitamin e used as a filler, but that all went quiet...

I wouldn't eat food from America and I wouldn't drink their water either.... something being legal in the US definitely doesn't make it clean or safe. They have a completely different idea of what that means compared to us on this side of the world.

Obviously it doesn't help that everything is illegal here but a lot of stoners have started putting WAY too much faith in US corps, which is a bit odd in itself lol.

I did read about the Vit-E issue (it was in reference to CBD carts) but I didn't realise that some legal states have banned carts even if they're produced with the proper safety and testing protocols. I have carts here and I'm too scared to vape them now!

ALL vape carts are getting a tough time in the US now. I don’t know if the mystery health issues with vaping are being used as a scare tactic because of the uplift in ‘kids’ taking up vaping and the packaging and flavourings which are arguably quite kiddy centric...

I though that too, where it's legal they need to think about marketing in a more adult and refined way like a nice bottle of wine or craft beer, rather than a fizzy drink approach.

Friend
Let me tell you a bit from my journey, i started off with cbd , then progressed to source thc locally from some vendors who have a presence. I must say never felt any ill effects but like you its very difficult to say if there are any pesticides or any other noxious issue in the locally sourced Uk cart makers. We must admit these people are providing a beneficial public service to people like us or who are afflicted with things like arthritis who cant get this amazing compound in the UK.
Then i went to another vendor - very well respected to get carts from US - he has never let me down and his ratings show. The carts are 100% legit and i have even checked serial numbers to the manufactureres websites and it all checks out and yes no one can be sure but i would trust a bonafide company like SELECT or HEAVY HITTERS or FRIENDLY FARMS not to do this.
I must say these proper company carts packs a super punch and less goes a long way - i still get BUd sourced locally and maybe some edible oils from canada through a relative.
Not being disrespectful to anyones craft here and these people on biggy from the UK are all Artisans in my books but with carts i just prefer the bonafide company thing with edibles i source them from the UK SPAIN and from some people on biggy and its ok

The sun will properly shine when this becomes bonafide in the UK - hopefully Biden should pave the way and i think overall the stance of UK police to small amounts for consumption has softened

I would like to see a cart with no terpenes. Inhaling unnaturally high amounts of terps can't be great either

I’ve seen some vendors who specialise in extracts showing test results that check for synthetic cannabinoids and identification of the contents, I think it’s called narco check or something. Would be great if more vendors started doing this, would definitely put my mind at ease

You're right they need to catch up, it's 2021 already!

thanks everyone for your responses, massive help!.
If I am understanding correctly then this is not a problem specific to Bitpanda but is because of the price of BTC causing exorbitant fees?
What I am still unclear about is why I am getting the 'wallet balance is too low' message before I input any amount to send at all. Is this message because my total BTC balance is too low (0.00128657 BTC -£44.50 atm) or is there a minimum amount threshold to send BTC and my send amount does not meet it? trying to pay around 0.0011 approx but never reach the stage to input the amount?
If the solution is just to buy another £25 worth of BTC then at least my options are clear and I can choose to buy but if I do that only to find that the reason is something different then I am in a worse situation and without my (eagerly awaited!) purchase.
I guess if the reason is just market volatility then there may be no point in contacting Bitpanda again (still no reply to my first contact last month).
Is it best to sit and wait a bit for BTC value to drop (if at all) or just bite the bullet, buy more BTC to make a purchase and swallow the high fees and total cost?
Any thoughts would be really useful to help me understand what's going on and get a good result. Cheers (sent 06/03/21)

I am having the same problems with Bitpanda at the moment. It is saying the balance is too low because there is a minimum spend of .0015, which is really expensive at the moment with the price of bitcoin. This is the minimum spend so you will need this amount in your account and you will need to spend at least that amount.
I have that in my account but the things I want to buy off here are not as expensive as .0015, its really annoying.

That explains my problem! Thanks for the info.
I have just over 0.0012 BTC in my wallet. I will have to top up £25 worth of BTC. The actual difference between my balance and the minimum balance/send amount is 0.0003 BTC (around £10ish). The item I am after is around 0.0012 so I may have to do what you did Smarty1 and just pay the vendor a bit extra to make up the amount to the minimum required. Could see it as a tip to vendor and to be fair they have been great generally so deserve it anyhow.
Only other option would be to buy larger amount but then total spend starts to get unaffordable. Also I had the experience of a delivery not arriving a few months ago, would be gutted to lose an larger order thru the post.
Probably go for the Smarty1 idea and pay vendor the extra 0.0003 BTC.
BTW Smarty1, where did you find out the minimum account balance/spend amount? I can only see min. withdrawal amount in BP info, does that count as a min SEND amount or should I be looking somewhere else?
Cheers,

Yeah its a bit annoying but if its a good vendor I don't mind. I was thinking it might change soon with the price of bitcoin increasing.

There isn't a minimum spend I can see in the T&Cs which is annoying and its only recently happening to me. Its when I am sending over bitcoin and and I type in anything under .0015, it says just below the box you are typing in that the minimum transaction is .0015.
Try setting it up as a test payment (without sending anything) and look just below the box.

I hope this helps.

If you want to check a fee pretend to go through with sending, pick your address (even tough your not sending) it will bring you to the next page where you can see the fee for sending at that time. I went to buy last week and had the same problem but to avoid it I had to send an extra 5 quid to the vendor as the transaction didnt meet minimum transaction amount. It should also tell you the minimum amount possible to send at that time. The more stable bitcoin is the better the fee will be if it is volatile the fee will also be volitile. Early hours of the morning seem best as less transactions are taking place at that time.

thanks for you reply.I think I tried your suggestion but I get the WALLET BALANCE TOO LOW alert before even inputting the amount to send.
Do you reckon that my BTC balance (0.00128657 BTC) is therefore too low to make any purchase and pay fees? looking to buy item total of 0.0012 but obviously send fees would be on top of that.
You mention a minimum transaction amount but I was unaware that there is one, is that stated on the Bitpanda website? I can only find minimum withdrawal amount, is that the same thing?
If the fees are very high atm then I can understand that my balance may not cover fees plus a minimum (£25?) send amount. Am I getting it right?
cheers buddy

Hi, the minimum you can send on bitpanda is 0.0015, not sure if this has already been suggested?

Yes I think there is a minimum amount you would need to send to complete the transaction. When mine failed it said the transaction was too low. So it then gave the minimum amount I would have to send if I wanted to send the money. I had to pay the vendor an additional 4 quid to bring it to minimum required to send.

thanks for your quick reply, my problem is that I don't even get to the stage of inputting an amount to send, the 'balance too low' message displays at the stage just before the level you describe so it must be for another reason unrelated to the amount I want to send.
I have seen the ' transaction amount too low' message you mention on previous buys and I solved the issue by topping up my BTC.
I can only guess that if fees are so high atm then they would eat up a big chunk of my BTC balance which would then fall below the minimum send amount thus triggering the 'balance too low' message before Bitpanda knows the amount I wish to send. In this case I guess the solution would be to top up my BTC balance, does that make sense?
many thanks

The fee right now is €2.50 and that is a really low fee man so you wont get better than that. I understand what your saying dude. Sounds like a fucking pain in the head.

Thanks for the heads up on current fees.Just tried a purchase, still getting balance too low message. Looks like the only option I have is to buy another £25 of BTC and see what happens. I'd be gutted if I get the same message and can't complete purchase but don't know what other option I have.
at this time my Balance is 0.00128657 BTC, the item I tried to buy is 0.001 BTC inc postage.Do you think the reason for the 'balance too low message' would be just due to fees? cheers

Bitpanda fee at £2 at 18:00

6/3/21

With Bitpanda the transaction fee doesn't depend on how much you're sending. It is based on how much activity there is on the whole bitcoin network at the time. I think the problem you're having is that the amount in your bitcoin wallet isn't enough to cover the £25 minimum plus whatever the transaction fee is right now. same problem for me… I currently have about £55 worth of BTC and I'm getting the same message as you, suggesting the transaction fee is above £30 currently.

So I'm waiting a week til payday and buying bulk. 6/3/21

yeah that makes sense to wait and also to buy in bulk.
My reserve stash is getting worryingly low but struggling with the thought of paying £30 fees for a £45 buy. I am having to accept that in current conditions it is too costly to buy a small order, don't want to get 7g or more in one go but it is actually the most sensible option economically. Either that or be more Zen about it and accept that I will run out and just wait for better conditions (sounds horrific to me !!). If I do that the one advantage of a break is the massive hit I'll get when I do have a puff after!

Had this problem the other day trying to order edibles. They had a minimum withdrawal amount of £45 worth of BTC.

Hope you get it sorted Brother.

hi Dopedad, thanks for your response,
can I ask, when you say 'they had a minimum withdrawal amount of £45 worth of BTC.' was it with Bitpanda and if so is that a general rule of theirs (that I missed before)? If that is the case then just topping up might be my solution,
cheers mate. (sent 06/03/21)

Yeah it was bitpanda brother. They seem to make it up as they go along.

Got myself an electrum wallet and send my monthly weed budget to that at the start of the month. And you get to set your own fees.
