thank you for the observation. would you like us to send a test kit to you?

Can you see the little white grains?

Wtf??

Looks like salt , wtf. Who ever that's from needs the ban hammer 🔨

Maybe/ Sugar / Salt Water technique gangs use. I seen loads of vendors doing it. its a huge shame. creates a false trich heads and can also crystalize or sugar salt up adds weight.

I know you said no chatter but I must say this is a very flawed system and open to easy abuse.
Any vendor can sabotage competitors by sending in fasle products.
This would work better if the items in question bought independently by a neutral 3rd party.

No worries this is not chatter but direct criticism. However it is wrong, for publication
"results from your sample will be compared with those from further sample collection."

To clarify, single sample, private results. For public results that can effect a vendor's reputation verification is performed by making actual anonymised purchases of the item.

Better off sending it to Wedinos for free as at the moment it seems you have to pay $25.00 and don’t get the item and they don’t offer any more detailed analysis than said website would

We welcome all self testing, especially Wedinos but there is a difference. Our service is blinded, there is no self selection of what is tested. This allows us to publish the results as a 3rd party.

True but for the OP the vendor would usually be blinded too so it does satisfy personal requirements.
I agree that the ability to publish results as a third party is a big bonus but what is the point if you aren’t testing the most popular products on the site regularly e.g last tests I can see although not dated must be 6+ months old judging by the products, no tests on vapes/edibles from current vendors etc…

Yoo, cheers for that I havent heard of wedinos but i will look into it

Yes wedinos.org is a Welsh non profit if you go onto the website and follow the instructions to print off a submission form, just need to pay postage and they will tell you the active components in any sample. You can for example smoke the whole cart if you wish and send the last bit for testing.

basically we will test anything that can be tested :)

Smartest move in the game right here.

this will be a game changer.. hopefully away with all the 'not accurate' claims of moon juice when in reality you get toilet water 🤣

Let’s go 😎

Cool😎

That's what this borg does, but unfortunately not for THC levels. Any item will be tested and reported by the borg if paid for.

who is Canna?

Members of our collective currently perform anonymised, redundant tests.

Ok well we've yet to see any of those tests or even a discussion about them but we mean more testing for THC testing for the community like the Extractor done, it was a great to have a 3rd party that was impartial and available to all customers and vendors if they choose, will they return or will you be sharing your test results with the community going forward?

We have used Extractor as well and they offered an invaluable service one of which we'd like to use again.

The THC test for us as growers was a great bench mark to see how our grows were doing compared to the breeders results, these results showed where we needed improvement and gave us confidence in our ladies and sharing them with our customers.

We certainly don't like advertising 30%+ strains without a 3rd party doing the testing so won't be listing % ratings in our writeups until this can be resolved and tests can be run.

Strong or very strong doesn't help anyone self medicating or trying to pick the right strength for their conditions.

Please keep us updated with anyone that we can have our products tested with within the site.

I originally made this post 6 months ago, any chance testing can be brought back please? It was a fantastic feature because; 1) we know what we're smoking, 2) it keeps everyone safer AND
3) it also works as a deterant for anyone who may be thinking of pulling a fast one.

thank you, yes we always will test items but we could certainly use some help from the biggaz.

anyone with testing capabilities out there?

In an ideal world we’d have a Borg that makes random anonymous purchases, tests and then publishes the results. All vendors would be aware that this is a feature of having an LB store.
The problems with vendors submitting a sample is pretty obvious as it may not be representative of their stock or only relevant to a single batch. Some test results have been on here for years 🤷‍♂️

I believe when the tests are done they are completely anonymous and the vendor has no idea the order will be tested 👍

Cool if true😎….I thought the vendor submitted the product- isn’t that how it worked with ‘Extractor’?

Yes the vendor does submit the sample to extractor but my understanding is exstractor is a service for vendors to pay for themselves, which the vendor will obviously be aware of what they are sending.

Test Borg conducts a separate random testing and the vendor isn't aware the order will be tested, as it's placed annonymously.

Test Borg, please correct me if I'm wrong 👍

I hope you are right but their post above suggests they don’t have testing capability? 🤷‍♂️

Sorry I didn't mean they conduct the testing themselves, but the process is different and done anonymously when they choose a product to be tested.

But who tests it? Surly the Borg asking random lb users if they can/know any body who can is not acceptable (what if it’s a seller?)

I have no idea who does the testing - but I agree with you and thought the exact same thing. It could easily be used to sabotage others too, if it lands in the wrong hands.

From conversations I've had in the past with the extractor I believe he's tested for them previously.

The extractor isn't around anymore, problems with his equipment and things so they'll need to find someone else if they get anything tested!

Maybe vape cartridges and concentrates in particular should be randomly tested a little more, if possible.

The new disposable vape pens could do with being tested.

I'd like to see carts tested and also the edibles with a stated dose on packaging.

Who’s RSO was this?

Well done DI!💚

Thanks TB!

would also like to know whose it is! the colour of RSO has always made me really uncomfortable and not knowing what could be in there has kept away from trying it all these years even though RSO could be a total life changer for me

Do look out for Oilman if/when he has new grow and comes back on here. His RSO is legendary. A bit too strong for me but you can have complete faith in its purity👍

Good shout Polly, whacked him in my bookmarks just now, thanks!

i think the combination of his name "Oilman" and his reputation gives me enough confidence to consume this mysterious black oil :D

It's drugs inc UKs one, I've had it many times and absolutely love it, mix about a rice grain or two amount with a little peanut butter and you're off!

Great timing for me.
I’ve just landed some of that rso. I’ll do my normal edible recipe and see how it hits now I know the stats

Thanks you exemplar you, we will PM.

you can now order a directed test for this.

after you order we will purchase the item from you directly.

because you ordered the test results are not made public unless you publish them. this can safely and confidentialy used for testing etc.

Hi! is testing products(hash) available for internationally shipped items as well? (shipping from middle east)

The borgs are so weird, I love it.

I didn't know there was a test borg on lb, interesting to see where that goes and if some of the hidden sellers might start making it to the wall! :)

Great idea. Which items would be considered high risk?

in general anything where the stakes are lethal or the incentives favor harm but we would like to hear from everyone on this.

If you mean lethal as in potentially lethal drugs then I don’t want them here...but if your talking say about pesticides or byproducts etc then everything could be up for scrutiny and testing

This will cost a lot of money?

I read a few reviews with people saying a certain hash had a chemical smell that could be worth getting tested

Top idea - nice and reassuring, especially with recent discussion on potentially dodgy vape carts.

What is the ash like when you burn it? Would be handy if you could let us know the strain/vendor as others might have had similar experiences. Like ike said, be sure to contact the vendor.

a cupla ways to sort this:
contact the seller
contact test borg for free testing

please remember if there is a health issue it's a public health issue for everybody here.

why arent you replying to people that are trying to help? not quite right indeed.

Hi Cloudy24.👍 The most probable reason for you recieving rotten weed last few months on here. Because more and more knew Vendors appear on here ( not naming any)selling
Basically street quality contaminated weed.more and more people on here to be fair, have complained of poor quality bud sent. Completely different to the pictures on their description ( manifesto). Either Sprayed with something. Or other unknown contaminats. As for your recent order of shake from LVcannabis been under weight. Maybe just a mistake on their behalf? Im sure if you contact them, they will rectify it for you 👍😉

It's not sprayed the weeds actually decent from lv canabis it was just under.

Hi Cloudy24 👍no wasn't actually Stating LVcannabis was sprayed
Weed,far from it. Only refering to it being underweight and to contact them 👍there weed seems fine I recently did an order for my sister in-law and she said it was nice weed. I was referring to when you mentioned rotten weed.which sounds like either old mouldy weed. Or from other people's comments recently on here. Sprayed, contaminated. More people should take test Borg's advice. And Get it Tested. Its the only way to find out, and find out which Vendor/ Vendors are selling it. Or this will become a Common thing over time . 🤔

Totally agree bud thanks for your help as well 👍

Surely if a vendor sends a bud drastically different to the image and description this warrants a dispute?

Hi Agent47 👍. Its not just about the difference in the description of the weed. More concerning, is the quality, and if the weed has been contaminated or sprayed with something. Like more customers are saying more often. . To much of a health risk.

Understandable.

Don’t believe people should be putting out stuff they wouldn’t consume themselves. Maybe they can’t get rid of it in the street and are trying to pawn off here if this is the case.

Honesty is key between both customer and vendor especially when it comes to things like contam ♾️

I don't think I've came across contaminated weed I'm more annoyed at myself for mot weighing it straight away so I really can't complain to them about it

Would maybe drop them a message anyways - always worth a shot

Your right bud thanks for the help

I would contact them but I feel a bit daft because I reviewed it too quick then a was sitting there It just wasn't sitting well weighed it 19g as I said max 2.5 gee no where near the missing 9 gee

All too common now mate upselling low budget shit. Be careful who you put your trust in as there seems to be an abundance of newbies every other week now.

Hi test Borg. I'm all for edibles testing. An am happy to send anything needed.

But I would like to day the way in which edible items have been removed business on my sweets has gone as no one can see them. All the hard work put on to get honest reviews have been lost. An all this without warning.

I really do feel list vendors should have been pre warned or dropped a message from your self so we could prepare for our next plan of action.

Thank you an hope u don't take anything I say personal. But we as vendors put in alot of hard work.

Thanks
Emporium

Hi All ! Buyers have Messaged us explaining they can’t find any of our flower listed ANYWHERE ??

not saying this is you but fraud detection is the most common reason, especially leading people off site.

Hi Hootie, please explain? Thanks

We are having the same issue. Our products are rite at the bottom. Hope someone can help

This vendors sweets are still up. Does that mean they were tested?

I'm a Chemical technician for a Pharmaceutical company in UK - Can help where ever is needed.

So if someone had decades of experience as a registered scientist following SOPs accurately, very high scientific knowledge, up to date GMP training, extensive use of point of care as well as more complex analyser testing, experience of multiple lab setups, etc, that could be good for this role? Asking for a friend...

Working from home, or under a launderette?

Guess I've been passed over, after all this time. Clearly that pitch wasn't worth a single exploratory PM.

Get this mouse some cheese

You forgot to add to your CV that whilst at home you are permanently stoned off your noodle! 🤭

Have had many years lab experience at university then underground.

I ain't no fancy school-trained chemist. But I know how to convert CBD to THC for
consumption safely, and I'm familiar with with lots of different ways to do it.

HMU if I'm what you're looking for, otherwise I'm probably just going to start my own shop.

Hi Borg, unfortunately it doesn’t look like you can test for terpene profiles and cannabinoid composition or %THC am I missing something or is this the same as similar free services available online e.g. wedinos?
Is there any plans for more detailed analysis like extracter was starting?
