Sprayed weed

Now I'm nowhere near as experienced as some people here but speaking as someone who's put in a couple of orders with the vendor you're accusing I thin…

Sprayed weed

Just received a small order and was gutted to see that it was a 2Gs of sprayed weed.

I've seen a tonne of this stuff from street dealers but hoped it wouldn't be on LB and to be fair this is the first I've come across (not going to name the seller but won't be using again.)

I know it's sprayed because the crystals are just a little bit too reflective on the bud and when you grind it and collect the 'kief' the powder compresses into a squidgy hard ball that doesn't burn well under flame and leaves a tarry black ash after a good torching.

I've smoked since I was 16 and I'm 35 so this isn't my first rodeo and this stuff isn't as it should be.

Anyone else seen this on here?

Sprayed with what?

I’ve got 10 years on you and no idea how your process leads to this conclusion.

Pretty sure "spayed weed" was anti-drug propaganda in the news and papers in the late 90s and early 00's as the rise of what they called "skunks" took over - only time I've ever heard of it. It doesn't even make sense to be real and I've never seen it or even ever heard anyone say exactly what they think it's sprayed with!

Also think it's odd that when stuff like this comes up the sellers name or strain of weed never gets mentioned.

maxixe

yes i think it was most likely propaganda too. hopefully this is just another case of too much unmetabolized nutrient salts left in the bud at harvest. i used to grow fairly small plants for my personal and even with organic i had to use light soil and the very minimum amount of nutrients just in the early growth stage to eliminate black/hard ash issues but the results of doing that were generally outstanding levels of quality and flavours

I'm not sure exactly, some sort of polymer. You can spot it a mile off compared to real thc. The below is the best zoom I can do. See how all the 'crystals' are long straight particles - they have a very light gritty feel to them.

At the zoom level i would find it hard to tell. Great way to check your bud is a jewellers loupe 60* or 90* with a light. At that zoom level it should be possible to confirm.

If you can feel the grit when rubbed on teeth thats no good. Believe some deposits from a grow where nutrients have been heavy handed can also be gritty from online reading.

Have had some street green from years back that had glass beads. This was gritty if you rubbed on teeth and produced a sore throat and chesty cough.
Normal trichs should dissolve when rubbed on teeth.

Trichomes can have different appearances other than the colour of the head. So just being straight may not be the identify an additive. This can depend on strain, grow, time of harvest. Here is a decent article https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/what-are-trichomes-on-cannabis

If you think it is definitely sprayed please name either dealer or strain. Perhaps LB could introduce an initiative if someone gets weed they think is contaminated they could send it off for testing at LB cost.

The Cheesemaster 9.5/10

Its me they have accused, I will be willing to pay for any tests if he is willing to send it on to anyone

I can assure you and everyone else, everything I grow is organic, no chemical goes anywhere near it.

I have forwarded on the link for this topic to previous customers I've sold this particular strain to (Amnesia Lemon) so they can confirm its legitimacy

Vendor grown, organic and happy to pay for a test. What a top response.

Nickm

Fine answer. I've seen weed that appeared sprayed on more than one occasion,in lb,but I've seen the cheese masters page and his stuff doesn't appear sprayed not does he seem the type to fuck with his weed.

Bruiser

I remember that shity sprayed glass beeds stuff,just rub your finger true the bud, rub your finger on your gums and you could feel it crushing between your teeth, horribly nasty shit, also sprayed weed nowadays is mostly chemical, were they get real poor quality weed and spay it then you get an artificial high which again I's nasty shit

Nickm

If you're sure then you need to publicly name the vendor-seriously!

ljm95

mate untill your certain I wouldn't call out the vendor publicly that could damage their rep etc think if you was in their position vice versa it could be a simple case of paranoia pmsl Respect LB and community as well big up too all vendors and I don't think it's sprayed mate it looks as if you need a new plastic grinder I remember mine starting to rub the outside of the plastic off into mine that little green dot looks as if it may have come off the grinder man IMO and previous experience ✌️but I don't want to say your wrong mate because if someone is doing that they should be kicked from the site simple as that respect everyone peace and much love :)

PieBoy

All I can say is it may make an interesting discussion.

Personally I've no idea what product that exists you think has been sprayed, or what it is about what you did that brings you to this conclusion. All I see is keif, but every day is a school day.

Any old shit is going $80 a Q on here all day long and you don't get to inspect it in advance, so why bother hunting down such a rare product as a polymer spray that looks like trichomes.

If you do name and shame I hope you continue to include how you came to your conclusion.

elinorj

I’ve ordered, different strains, many times and have never had an issue or concern. All I’ve ever received is very good quality product and never been disappointed.

adunchained

Ive got weed or hemp too many parts overly engineered hemp trying to be weed before. looked like this was some kind of pineapple that was just stork trichomes with little to no heads, mainly flat heads and globs, no to say what you got there but maybe, the so called safe thc? that just stops burning?

pollypuff20

I bow to your experience but I am confused. Are you saying they are faking the triichomes? Would this make sense on mail order weed?
The reason you should involve the seller is so they get an opportunity to respond. You gotta have the courage of your convictions IMO....

As someone who works in the payments industry, there's some misunderstandings and misconceptions in this thread that are worth addressing. These ban…

Banks getting arsey with wallet transfers

Anyone else having this issue? Whilst RBS say they still allow bitcoin investing. They keep blocking my attempts to transfer to C-pay. I rang them but they read out some irrelevant generic corporate statement about fraud and that was that. Despite assuring them I am me and it's just an innocent crypto "investment"

I found a bitcoin ATM a couple of miles away but their commission rates are insane.

PISTACH 9.6/10

I think banks are genuinely hating on crypto. They will do silly things like this to put people off crypto. As crypto is the end of banks.

Bigbum

You use crypto without your bank do you?

Richy781

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

thanks for all your help. I have a successful work around for now.

Buy BTC in revolut and withdraw to a wallet.

pollypuff20

You make good points and clearly from a level of experience. I have two overriding issuesthat get my personal goat:
1). No matter how often they say it my bank is not trying to protect ME, they are covering themselves. They sent me a code- I put in the code. They texted me to confirm I was genuine- I said YES. They then blocked the transaction (£200 to Bitpanda FFS) AND cancelled my card without telling me which made me look a right cunt in Tesco’s the next day. 45 minutes on the phone before I even got to speak to a real person. That was my punishment for attempting to buy a smidgen of crypto!
2). They hit the likes of me ‘cos it’s so EASY and it builds their anti-fraud stats to supply to the FCA (or whoever) showing what a firm stance they are taking whilst the crims and the launderers (which are DIFFICULT) carry on 100% as normal.
I could go on but like I say....twats!

titntin

Excellent and informative post - thank you.
I just buy on local bitcoins, loads of different options and very little commission. Of course conventional wisdom would tell you to then go through a wallet and tumble etc etc, but quite frankly no one in authority cares about an old hippy and and his wife getting a bit of hash, so I'm not bothered about hiding my transactions too much!

Some exchanges use direct transfer which might work better

Mhokurtz

Funnily enough a new article came up about this on my feed this morning. Sounds like several banks such as Starling, Barclays and Monzo are all starting to ban sending funds to exchanges.

Richy781

I think there's more than just those on the article. But whilst some come out and admit it others hide behind fraud statements until they know what they're doing.

Thanks for sharing

Mhokurtz

No worries. Happy to help. Just hoping this isn't the start of a larger crackdown. It was only a matter of time before banks became too threatened by crypto and will ultimately want to stop people using exchanges rather than storing fiat with them.

Pretty much what happened last time btc was peaking.

I’m glad Fire isn’t on the list just yet, again, they would when everyone else said no.

Richy781

Do you recommend Fire? I looked on trustpilot and it's mostly 1 star reviews saying their accounts are locked.

LoveAndPositivity

Transfer funds from your bank account to Revolut first. And then use Revolut to actually send the funds to your preferred crypto exchange. I believe Revolut are crypto friendly and I've had no issues since doing this.

Richy781

So I was able to set up a revolut account and send money from RBS to it. But now I'm trying to transfer from revolut to C pay and coinbase and both are bouncing the payments back to revolut.

I wouldn't move my banking to them, but it's how I've always sent money to Coinbase since my regular bank stopped sending back in 2018.

jonnyk58

Some of these banks have investment platforms of their own, and every penny moved into crypto is a penny beyond their reach, for investment and holdings. Banks need to hold funds to operate, so crypto is a threat to their very existence.

Noxa88

Starling haven’t let me make a transaction to my exchange in over a fucking week! Typical fuck over of the poor masses once again, they want to give you 0.3% interest on the billions and billions they earn from us and wonder why we don’t want the fucking money in their accounts, soon Crypto will be just for the rich just like fiat, odd they’re stopping the people buying when billions is being plowed into crypto by the same cunts that are stopping us saying it’s fraudulent... Says it all. The world needs to be toppled and very quickly before we live in the films we watch.

pollypuff20

Lloyds blocked my last one when using a card and were unrepentant when I tried to rip them a new arsehole just stating that “most such transactions are fraudulent”....twats....

Richy781

Sounds very much like the corrupt old boy institutions are trying to bury crypto. Then I suspect they'll launch their own version and get even richer. Much like Elon with his pump and dump of BTC and launch of Dogecoin.

Ive been getting my weed this way that long I don't know any street dealers anymore.

Toking

It's probably because there not getting any thing out of it, banks are arseholes. I think you can buy and send crypto from revolut now

bego54

You def can buy from revolut but you gotta pay for revolut metal to withdraw crypto (12.99 per month where I am)

PieBoy

Try a new bank

Monzo
Fire
Starling

All quick to set up all happy to interact with coinbase (in my experience).

Mhokurtz

From what I've read 2 out of 3 of those are starting to stop :(

Hope this isnt a sign of things to come.
