Hey dude, I'm also 50+ (1971 stock).
I stopped smoking tobacco nearly 15 years ago due to a near death illness. I now use oil concentrates. I do miss smoking bud and the smell if i'm honest. But oil not leaving a trail in the air is a bonus/discreet.

Hi Bluntchisel 👍 ahh interesting topic 😂. Yes im on the wrong side of 50 now 🤔🧐. And your right smoking habits have changed somewhat now. Used to be a long term bud smoker. But since turned to Live resin/ distillate/ rosin
Carts/ Disposables. Mainly just use disposables. And also dabble with edibles. I feel I need to make things more discreet now. Feel bit odd smoking joints at my age. 1 good thing about not smoking bud. ( Odd joint occasionally lol 🥺😮🙂)
Made me give up tobacco for over 3 years now. Just vape e liquid during the evening 👍.

2 buys on Thursday morning (14 Dec 23) - first send fee was £23! Second one, 30 minutes later, was £16. Definitely stopped me shopping around like I wanted to, waiting for them to drop before buying again. Can anyone recommend a site that shows an average transaction fee in real time? The only ones I know show the day before's average fee.

Click on the little dial icon in the bottom left of the screen when you load the site and it gives you average sat/vB in real time, and you can examine what's in each block too.

Thank you, MR 👍. I've just had a quick look and it's still a little confusing to a noob like myself, but it looks like what I need. Thank you very much, greatly appreciated 👍

No problem mate. This was all new to me until April, and then I quickly realised that learning about it could save me money. Still barely scratching the surface in terms of my knowledge.

Yeah pretty high for me too! It’s a shame in 2023 we still have to put up with this crap!

EE x

Stopped ordering on here a week ago. The borgs said litecoin will be an alternative coin LAST YEAR, nothing ever happened. I would imagine LB is loosing out big time.
I see it as a good time for a tolerance break

I've been off it for a week or so now, would have loved some for Christmas, I'm too stubborn to cancel my order so I'll wait it out and hit ten bag Tommy for a day pass

Yup I just paid £15 on a £40 order

didnt know how to start own topic, but here is my stupid experience with Kraken for laughs. ok I needed to upolad id but lucky they take d license and had jpeg for wrk. i then bought btc when verified 30mns, but missed the info box telling me funds were held 72 hours. they charged me 3.50 for buying the btc to kraken. then tried to withdraw and found out they held it 72hrs. I tried to cancel at my bank but couldnt. I then waited 3 days. i then went to withdraw and saw that there is a further charge of 13.60. I need to buy more btc in order to cover it, another charge. then when i go to withdraw, I need to add a new address, every one I use needs verified by email. but by the time you've got to the email the amount on kraken has changed slightly. So after like 5 tries i finally did it quick enough to have the right receipt amount. so thank fuck thats over. Just got an email saying i must complete a survey by jan 2, or they will shut the account. provides link, go, but no survey. cant find it. so effectively they are going to take the remaining 61p in the account by default. hahaha fucking hell that was awful.

Yea I got stung on £140. £5 purchase fee and then £15.45 to send it. Roll on things settling back down.

Seems to be back up or isit just every weekend??, obviously it’s busy time of year in general but damn this seems to be the new norm

Will be the new norm, a friend was explaining to me how BRC-20 tokens are congesting the blockchain. Since they seem to be the new thing in the crypto world I don't see the congestion reducing for a while. We have the same problem in some way every few years here we need an alternative ASAP. I've had to pay 100s of dollars to move one transaction from here and its been pending for several days, blockchain explorer site reckons I'll need to pay $2111 to get it in the next few hours, not viable at all!

The fees certainly seem to go up the few times I've been 'lucky' enough to see my BTC increase decently in value! I'm all happy, thinking I've made enough for a 'free' eighth, and then lose it all in send fees!

Yes, it's crazy, tried to pay for an order and I have insufficient funds - wants over £30 fees on a £70 order!

Was same for me last week, I’d of fucked it off but it was a BB order and id already messed him about so didn’t want to take the piss any longer as he had sorted me out .

I paid 40 quid on a 200 quid order but had no choice as need carts before weekend but i dont even think the vendor has sent them,totally gutted 😔

Yep
Just had to cancel and get a lesser order.

It was for £88 something, wanted £121 I was like, naw mate. It's been like this for a while, getting steeper

I’m trying to work out the percentage , it seems people have paid anything from 15% to 37%, I think anywhere between 5-15% is pretty fair but above that is a pisstake

Yup fees are taking the piss the right now

if they changed network to bsc the fees would be 40p for sending btc, need to get them to change it

This morning I paid £16 on a £80 order.

This morning I went pay for a £100 order, fully expecting to pay a hefty whack but Xmas and all that so I was going to swallow it but the price jumped to £191. Jesus suffering fuck. Halfed the order, still paid a fortune.Really can't afford this, who can? Something needs to change. I wish I had an answer.

I dropped my fees to around the $2:50 mark, 24 hrs later and my order still isn't confirmed. What a pile of pish.

My understanding is that you can't put live resin or rosin straight into a cart as its too thick and will solidify-it always needs to be diluted. Perhaps some experts can chip in?...I know that when Serial Chiller Labs started with these particular CCells and Rosin they worked on their "secret recipe" for some time, hence I guess why CI are doing 'testers' so this is good feedback.

But all is not lost - you just need to get rubbing to warm the oil and get it moving!

Serial chillers used unflavoured terps, they diluted them quite vigirously. I left a link a few months back to a process I think Weedstar have started to use for their live resin, I will see if I can find it.

https://youtu.be/9vP1prZTk64?si=fX18vZwZw7-FaqP2

It's on the window cill.👍
No all is not lost at all, I'll be decanting the resin into a silicone tub.

Mine looks the same it has just solidified. Unless you faff changing the natural state they will generally go like that once cooked down in the vape.

Gutted mines at the post office still, I’ve been stalking the postman as the other reviews were amazing will be gutted if it’s not great, on a plus note at least it’s only 10 bucks

Yes they were only testers! When you do get yours I would warm it first in your pocket for half hour otherwise you'll burn the coil as this resin is solid.good luck

DIUK shouldn't be banned, they gave us biggas plenty heads up they were taking a break and anyone ordering after they gave us the heads up it was at your own risk.
Now the site is packed with overpriced moneybags weed and the good people over at DIUK are banned.
DIUK are one of the most respected vendors here and we ban them, please let them back as we need vendors like them, vendors looking out for the little guy.

I agree - DIUK were one of my first purchases here, and they've looked after me ever since. It would be a *huge* loss to this place if they're not able to return. Please sort this out ASAP

They were my first purchase on site, always positive and friendly and always supportive.
I was planning on getting wrecked tomorrow and making a post about this mess then.
Such a mess, DIUK of all folks too.

Yes, come on LittleBiggy this is not fair.
They gave fair notice, closed for a good reason - compassion, and withdrew all items from sale.
I've had nothing but good interactions with them and they are one of this sites most trusted vendors.
We want them back!!

Meanwhile you've vendors here with multiple accounts upvoting themselves, vendors upvoting any and every negative post about other vendors, and vendors taking the utter piss with pricing excuse my language.

Well there not all like that , nearly every other vendor has something decent to offer here, were still spoilt for choice if you ask me

This place ain't what it used to be, it's getting very premium around here. Premium in quotes.

Yeah I know what you mean , prices are still quite high but overall they are mostly cheaper for the quality than the local street plug. Also with the service we get , I can get weed quicker than most legal shops send out there products. I can also shop around and buy premium or buy mids or get fantastic shake or shitty shake depending on the budget. Street plugs only offer what they have and it's rarely worth the cash I love the fact we can order weed grown in England or in USA or Canada and some vendors still selling at reasonable prices I mean we haven't got anything better in the UK than littlebiggie, these vendors are killing it to be honest , high grade flower , concentrates and hashes to die for and brilliant review system with escrow and dispute options and endless choice , this site to me is still a relief compared to the street , but yeah maybe the prices aren't what they used to be and to be honest weed isn't what it used to be for me, weed has changed with the legalization abroad and the strains of the UK seem lost to new genetics that I don't really even like that much. So now everyone wants Cali or imports and the prices will go up with that unfortunately. But surely you still love this site even with all its flaws?

Remember a while back when the pound tanked against the dollar, many vendors came out, DIUK and TGDs among them and lowered prices, that wouldn't happen today.
Here is my issue, there are vendors here that are getting rich off us, make a nice profit sure, but don't get rich off a fellow toker, a fellow bigga, someone just wanting their medicine.
That is my issue here.

Yeah I hear you , but it's all choice for us, we just have to weene out all the vendors charging way to much and stick to the good ones and keep them going, if we all do that the expensive rip off merchant ones will soon realise they ain't doing well.

Hey Incubus, i've kinda been off the medicine couple days now but i'll be back tomorrow no doubt but just wanted to say thanks for your responses they really helped.
You're very patient and much appreciated, you have a good one fellow Bigga.🙂❤️

Thanks man , have a great day as well. ❤️

Today is a great day 😁

I've a feeling the best story is gonna yours, but I'll say I stopped using new sellers as they almost always haven't bought a heat sealer yet. Add in underestimated postage or a parcel too big for the letterbox and I've got to go pick up a stinking package with my name on it. Never again.

This is also my experience

Gut health and brain health are linked in a bunch of ways, I've been reading a bit about it, there's millions of nerves connecting the gut and brain, the gut is producing most of our serotonin which directly affects our moods, they've linked poor gut health to Alzheimer's and possibly other mental health conditions recently too so there's more than a few direct connections.

I read about the vagus nerve and what it does, it's like a little caretaker for our whole nervous system, regulating everything, that can be damaged by stomach ulcers and when damaged can cause all sorts of problems, I guess i'm wondering with all these direct links between gut and brain whether we're actually feeling something that's sending very real signals but signals we don't understand properly?

...or I might've just smoked too much, its possible, the bong has been out!

Ah, my dear biggaz, let’s embark on a whimsical journey into the realms of the gut and the mysterious phenomenon of premonition, shall we? Now, picture this: your gut, that marvellous little organ, is not just a mere digestive powerhouse. No, no! It’s a veritable hub of intuition, a second brain, if you will.

You see, the gut is lined with what we call the enteric nervous system, which is a complex network of neurons that communicates with the brain. This connection, my friends, is more profound than we often realise. It’s as if your belly is whispering secrets to your mind, guiding you through the murky waters of existence. When we talk about premonition, we’re often delving into that uncanny ability to sense what’s coming — a sort of psychic foresight, if you like.

Now, imagine your gut reacting to stimuli before your conscious mind has had the chance to process it. Ever had that feeling in your stomach before a big event, like a wedding, or perhaps a precarious encounter with a person you’re not quite sure about? That’s your gut’s way of alerting you, a signal that something’s afoot! It’s a primal response, honed over millennia, an evolutionary gift that keeps us attuned to danger or opportunity.

So, in essence, when we talk about premonition, we’re tapping into that raw, instinctual knowledge that our bodies possess. The gut is like a finely tuned instrument, picking up vibrations from the universe, translating them into feelings, sensations, and sometimes — just sometimes — a flash of insight about what’s to come. Listen to it, my darlings! Your gut may just be your most trusted oracle, steering you through the unpredictable tides of life with a knowing nod and a cheeky wink.

In conclusion, the gut and premonition are intertwined in a dance of intuition and instinct. So, next time you feel a flutter in your belly, remember: it could be the universe whispering its secrets, urging you to pay attention. Embrace it, and let the gut guide you!

This happened to me so many times. It always freaked me out, when I would think back to it and that flutter feeling, right before whatever happened after it.

It truly is the solar plexus chakra ;)

It truly is the solar plexus chakra ;)

Druids Magic
British Bulldog
Northern Organics
Oilman
Bonneville
Bud Botanist
The Cheesemaster

Obviously these all come and go between their grows…..some may have just gone, but keep an eye out!

Agree with that lost wholeheartedly though suspect that we have lost both oilman and budbot

Oilman's hifi 🤗

Chatted to BudB just before he went offline, he was moving house and from my experience that can often mean the end of growing. Even if you think you have the space, one arsey neighbour, or finding out after you've bought the place that there's a copper living over the road....etc etc can often mean you have to quit.

It's happened to a few people i know. The guy i learned to grow from quit when his other half got pregnant and they moved somewhere bigger, which is totally fair enough.

Shame as BudB was a good guy, and a good grower. Hopefully he'll be back one day.

Cheers. BB

Its always the worst thing to have a copper on your road.. even worse is if they adopted old k9 unit dogs😤
Those dogs will lead you into serious trouble if its out for walkies.

Hehe…getting chased down the road by a retired police dog…brilliant 🫣😂

hey mate I saw you growing a decent flowers, do you like to grow from seeds or clones only?

Hiya buddy,

Just femmed seeds for now but I'm thinking about clones at some point.

Thanks for your kind words, I do my best. 😊

Cheers BB 👍🍻

what was your favourite strain you ever grow? I used to grow from seeds but when I try clones they like game changers, with clones you saving lots of time. I grow zowahh from karma genetic from clones and those plants been growing like crazy.

oilmans snow white - lost but mot forgotten

There’s the Jedi 👌 knowledge is power

Thanks for the list! 👍

I haven't tried every grower on here, nor have i chatted to all of them, but i can say that Druids Magic are very good people and having chatted to them numerous times since their arrival on here, i can guarantee they know what they are doing.

I've seen a few sellers who seem to masquerade as growers but really have no idea.... DM is not one of these.

They're genuine artisans.

They've got some bangers coming up for Christmas too, but i won't ruin the surprise. ;)

Cheers. BB

❤️ 🙏

👍👍…Druids are going to make this a very Merry Spliffmas! 😍🥳

BB has dropped wedding cake this month (can’t wait for it to get here😃) AND druids dropping some December? Well, it’ll definitely be a good Christmas this year haha

put british bulldog in same catagory as top growers - people scramble for shake says it all💪

British bulldog has lovely wedding cake just now. Really enjoying it just now.

Druids but not had a listing since I’ve been using LB so hopefully one soon. I’ve not purchased anything from them but I have tried some 😋😋😋

I got really good Strawberry Ammi from keep it green.

Apexakunk2 had a topic Christmas No1 I’m sure that would help with your question.

Druids bud is gonna sell out quicker than ninja airfryers get in quick!!

😂😂😂😂

Look out for Fallen

Good one👍…also ChronusBuds…

druids are primo

Keep It Green 👍🌞👍

Yup, just tried them and they are very impressive👍😻

Fallen/Sassy.

sassy buds, is he still about? Was always damn good weed from Sassy!!

Still here mate,shall be back in the new year 👍

Definitely Druids and N.organics - but have also had a couple of decent flowers from Keep It Green - they're new here, but doing well so far

Polly has my list and some I’ve not tried but heard of.

Can tell from convos with bb and Druids they grow as know the shit you only find out from experience.

Way above my knowledge and I grew some half joint knock out chronic but then kid came

Can't argue with any that have been mentioned, I have tried most of them and all excellent. One missing for me though would be sassy buds, they have grown some of the best flower i have had all year.

Thanks for the mention guys 👍..I shall be returning in the new year,personally I've had a terrible last 12 months,I thought all would be good a few months ago and I'd be back selling but that just wasn't possible..still being mentioned after being offline so long means alot to me so thank you and see you next year ✌

We have been growing for a while but we plan on introducing the harvest to LB very soon.
Check out our shake options, theyre super coated with popcorn nugs throughout the pack.

best grower...i'm gonna have to say me. not a vendor though

all things considered, it's 💯 me

personal purple grow not industrial scales

go on bonno! haha

🧝‍♂️

Lazydaze, Prime grows, KiG, Druids & Franz to name a few of the many good growers here on LB....

LOOK OUT FOR DANKPANTS..

new vendor just looked at his store and see big things

all but mercedes . love for all the ones ive purchased from all quality . but no love for the one let me down. personal choice i would have to say PISTACH. impressive with that first zheetos grow and looking forward to trying the new fire batch this week. bless all

Yeah it will do it all for you automatically you can check the status in " orders " top left

Yeah it was was taking ages to go through, but it has now. 🙏🏽

My personal experience is not positive. I found GC to be disorganised and childish in communications. I can only speak for myself, but I was polite and patient, and GC was a time waster. His comms are terrible.

Comms aren’t great but products are amazing and he’s a one man band to be fair to him. Although I’m still waiting for a response

I ordered on Sunday knowing dispatch would be Monday so delivery via 24 hour tracked means delivery Tuesday but posted after 15:00 means ann extra day even still with that, yet I’m still waiting! The post is extremely miss leading and false! I have tried to contact the seller for tracking twice now and zero reply! I won’t be riding from them again, I can see transaxe having to get involved soon!

Could be RM. I'm on day 4 of tracked 24.(different vendor).

I would love to say it is but other 24 hour tracked items have been delivered this week! From different vendors, I’m extremely dissatisfied and disappointed.

Hi bud greencat is a top vendor usually marks as sent the night it's been ordered he is a one man band but never let me down always 10/10

I agree with the other comment never been let down always good service maybe a day or so over expected but it will arrive

The service isn’t good if you’re not getting what’s being advertised! 24 hour postage means 24 hours and Royal Mail have to deliver or you can claim compensation for the late delivery! It’s clearly advertised as 24 hour Royal Mail tracking! False advertisement! Is not good service, zero communication every says scam with this seller! Other delivers ordered on the same day are here!!!

Green Cat is not a scam, it's ok to not be happy at waiting but why do people always have to go too far? You've been here long enough to know better than that mate. They are easily one of the very best sellers on this whole site, the fact you are already talking about transaxe is more alarming tbh...

Also I think almost everything you have said is wrong. 24hour can take a week if Royal Mail takes a week to deliver it, they always take 2 days for me and Green Cat does not advertise next day delivery they state typical delivery time is 1-3 days.

Not trying to have a go at you but GC is a top seller, it might not always work out exactly (and they seem to get more stick than most when it doesn't go perfectly) but they do send out their packages by 24hr post as quickly as possible, usually same day! I'm speaking from a lot of ordering experience! :)

I hope it lands for you soon! :)

No I can 100% appreciate your point bud! As you’ve said I’ve been here a while and in that time this is the first time I’m waiting and waiting. Even during the big postal strikes next day was next day! If it’s sent first class sign for it’s not tracked it only gives proof of delivery. It’s not a tracking service!

I hope it lands soon and I can come back on here and eat my words because it’s good stuff!

This a customer service based system here and no communication from a seller is extreamly worrying! And completely unacceptable especially when it say contact for tracking number! I have had zero communication when asking for this tracking information.

Other sellers update your order with tracking, why can’t they be done now?

I hope and prey it will drop soon so I can recant my own words!

Great comment. He, ultimately, comes through

Mate he DOES send out 24hr tracked you will see the big sticker for it on the front of your pack when it lands. That doesn't mean he's offering next day delivery tho, it clearly says 1-3 days but it IS sent by 24hr tracked you will see mate. Maybe there has been an issue sending it or maybe its stuck at a depot obviously I wouldn't know about that and I get thats why you need some comms but they are not scammers mate that was my main thing. Like I say genuinely hope you get it soon :)

As I said I will eat all my words if it lands everyday I prey!

This isn’t something to just get high and relax of an evening, I’m disabled and use it for pain, anxiety and PTSD so waiting right now I’m extreamly unwell probably doesn’t help my responses.

2 and a half years on here and this is my first problem, see my problem now.

The fact a bunch have jumped on to stand their ground is impressive and makes it slightly easier to understand and accept but it’s still extremely aggravating and frustrating with a feeling like you have been robbed!

maybe someone on here should help the guy with communication? Free weed as payment. It would be a very simple system to set up and never have to know who each other are.

Royalmail do not have to deliver 24hrs tracked the next day. They even state on their website it's not guaranteed NDD. I had a 24hrs tracked take 5 working days and it arrived this week. I'm guessing we're already experiencing the delays of the up coming bank holiday

Can you share a link to this please bud?

Because they say 94% of mail is delivered within 48 hours on their website! Yes I just checked, so yes if I’m that 6% I fully understand, but where’s the communication and tracking number?

The 24 hour service is a high priority unless it’s sign for first class then that’s a whole different sent of rules, up to 5 days but again that’s not what’s advertised!

The fact zero communication and no tracking number provided the listing clearly isn’t as advertised! Look at the length of time people are waiting! This is a 100% trust based service and I don’t have any faith or trust in this seller anymore

Did you get any comms / product in the end? :D

Right no delivery yet BUt we have a tracking number and communication!

OBVIOUSLY GREEN CAT isn’t a SCAM!

The benefit of the doubt is given, apparently it will be here Saturday! We are all human after all!

But what I will say is Green Cat is fucking lucky to have you guys!

Shame about the 'misplaced' package and lack of comms; needs to be better.
