I was there a couple of months ago, had a look at a few and bought a few bits, most of the ones I went to seemed to be just shops where you can buy it as a pose to Amsterdam where they were more like cafes where you could sit down and smoke etc, might have just been the ones I went to though. 🤷♂️

Rotterdam coffeeshops
Rotterdam coffeeshops
Hello biggas I hope you're all well on this fine evening :)
I am going to visit Rotterdam for a few days in a week, and would obviously love to explore a particular aspect of Dutch culture ;)
Any recommendations for coffeshops/strains while I'm out there? Anything I should avoid.
Thanks ✌

Okay that's good to know, thanks. Is there anywhere you'd recommend for good service/pricing?
Rotterdam is by far my favourite place in Holland, very little sex/sleaze, just great people who are very friendly. I would agree with Zigbull, I've not come across any old school sit down cafes there but you may well find a cafe garden which you could use however many most Dutch people do not partake and it can be frowned upon so i would always get sorted and find a nice quiet place unless you can find a tokers garden.
I've been to Rotterdam once before and I agree, it was nice, seemed more chill than Amsterdam. That's great advice, thanks.
Amsterdam is Newquay with legal weed. Full of idiotic drunken British folk on stag dos. Rotterdam is far better, as is Den Haag (Hague). Coffeeshop 4 floors is a 10 min walk from Centraal Station, and over the road from 4 floor is a dispensary type coffeeshop where I always go, great prices and selection, it's a "local" place. If weather is nice, there's a lovely grassy area opposite where you can burn a fat one, sip a beer and watch the world go by. If you fancy getting out and about on the tram, Bob Marley coffeeshop is another great choice.
If you’ve got a few days then it might be worth spending a day in Amsterdam as it’s only an hour by train. Plenty of coffee shops you can sit and have a smoke in.
I'm not sure I'll have loads of free time but I'll definitely take the opportunity to travel up if I get one. Thanks!

I’ll start Dr Dre 2001 and Bob Marley and the wailers.
Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.
Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism
Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.
Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.
dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)
Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"
Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)

Graceland brings back memories of my mum blasting that album most days when I was a kid
That's how I first heard it too when my mums friend got them the album back in the early 80s)
Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...
I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

If you don’t know…wake up! 💯❤️
I’m a grump about Ill Communication. It has some great tracks on it. But the jazz filler does nothing for me.
What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.
Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy
I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well
Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.
The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.
Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!
Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

2 is incredibly difficult, and I can't be the only one with eclectic tastes and a butterfly mind where these will all change regularly anyway. So I'll go with:
Ash - 1977
and
Kent - Hagnesta Hill (available in English and Swedish, so surely I get to choose both?)

I once worked on a tour of Denmark and Kent played , your comment is the only other time I’ve heard of them lol
That's so cool! Is this weird? The most unbelievably amazing band that almost no-one has ever heard of, or so it seems. They filled stadia in Scandinavia.
"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: Released in 1973, this album is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. It features a conceptually unified theme and explores various philosophical and existential topics. Tracks like "Money," "Time," and "Us and Them" are widely loved.
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Released in 1982, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time and a cultural phenomenon. It revolutionized pop music, blending various genres and delivering iconic hits such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller."

Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

This is tough but going on repeats alone I reckon these pip it,
Riding with the king - Clapton and BB King
We're new here - Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron

So glad someone has shouted out Jamie xx, amazingly talented music producer the first album with him and his sister The Xx I can’t even guess how many times I’ve listened to it, song 1 known as intro is a work of art. I’m gutted they or he have released so little but sadly he probably earns more producing for other artists who are more mainstream?
Not heard of your other suggestions but will check them out based on your clearly good taste !

There are loads of full albums I’ll listen to…naming just two, well the two most recent ones that spring to mind for me Acid Bath-when the kite string pops and Oasis - definitely maybe not a bad track on either one.
My picks:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - just a classic album. Spaceman 3 "The Perfect Prescription" with an honorable mention for Ode to Street Hassle

Its an absolute epic album. That bit in Fountain and Fairfax where Happy Chichester's piano wraps around Barb's cello is heaven. Its as good an album as Black Love for sure, some fans prefer it but BL is the GOAT.
Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons. Some friends told me they would bury the album with me, I'd go to sleep listening to it.
Scary Monsters by Bowie, time of life thing for me 'Teenage Wildlife'.

Mrdeeds36, yes it is, blinding track, good to hear from another fan. 'Up the down escalator' is my anthem for a crazy world today.

"They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's sake leave us something!
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long now will it take now?
There must be something wrong boys"
I adore this period of post punk before brit pop came along and fudged it. IMO lol
Swamp Thing from Strange Times is another brilliant song.

You nailed it with the lyric mate.
They were a good band live, too.
I agree with you.

Hi Mate, Got 'Script of the bridge' playing again this weekend. The album seems more poignant than ever.
Light up and have a good weekend.

Hey bud, I'm well thanks and intend to have a good weekend, it's my bday on Monday so have started early with some very nice and mood lifting Cap Junky, then for some stand up comedy me thinks.
Script of the Bridge will always be applicable to me. Finding some albums feels like finding treasure and it's one of those albums, as is From the lions mouth by The Sound, which if you haven't heard I profoundly recommend. Have a good'n mate and tell me, what are you smoking on matey and have you chonged anything recently with strong euphoric/giggly affects?

Happy Birthday mate.
I will be listening to that recommendation later today.
Smoking 'red apple' Leb, 'apple tart' Maroc hashish and just got some 'Sunset Sherbet' and 'Billy Kimber' bud, all amazing.
Happy birthday. Crispy

Hi Mr, Really liked that album, how did I miss that? Do you like 'sad lovers and giants' and 'and also the trees' ?
Never heard of either band before this shout. I listened to Epic Garden Music this morning on a hike and it's fantastic love the use of the keyboard and you can really hear early elements of shoegaze taking shape on tracks like "Lope" and "ART".. This is a very good band crisp.. Try listening to Soul Mining and Dusk by The The and tell me what you think. Anyway stay cool compadre.
dEUS The Ideal Crash and Pretty Hate Machine NIN. Never tire of those two... There are many more but these two popped out my cheesebox first.
Hard to pick just 2, and I see a nearly all male list below...so:
Baduizm - Erykah Badu
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
Midtown 120 Blues - DJ Sprinkles (couldn't leave this utter classic out!)

Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless. Still sounds like nothing else.
…And You Will Know us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes - possibly not the best album ever. But I just love it.

Dre 2001 and Fleetwood Mac Rumours.
Fleetwood Mac especially. Playing that album on a good car stereo on a nice road in the summer. Great times....👌🎶
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Aqualung - Jethro Tull. Both are extraordinary (to me, anyway) with a good dose of THC.
Just 2 …thats tricky!!
Some have already mentioned primal scream screamadilca. I played underworld dubnobasswithmyheadman a lot as well, but I think I will actually plump for depeche mode violator and u2 Joshua tree, 2 albums that got played a lot and got me through life…

Reading the comments, we’re such a bunch of mixed people here haha (GOOD) I think I saw every genre. I don’t really have 1 album I like but it’s one song from a few if you get me.
For me it's got to be lupe fiasco lasers album deluxe edition. And Hopsin No shame album. Can listen to every song on both and never get bored

It's a fucking abhorant situation seemingly "ok" because of the "friendship" with the US. What they're doing has been recognised as illegal for decades yet they're allowed to continue!!! It boils my piss. All this because we decided to split the area up, it's embarrassing.
Whilst slightly away from the topic, still relevant I feel. Note the increase in killed Palestinians in Oct and Nov 23, in the west bank alone

Here is 97 out of the 107 journalists that have been targeted and murdered trying to show us the real situation on the ground. Shamefully they will be counting the civilians murdered for years and years to come.. will we ever learn the true number?

No problem dude anytime lol the fact that you first found 6,000 names then researched more and found 7,000 is the whole point of the comp… and it’s easy to think twice when them 7,000 lives are just numbers and statics
minimum 8,000 children have already been wiped out in airstrikes and god knows 🤦♀️
the children are writing the names on their arms and legs so their body parts can be identified just incase..

You hit the nail on the head mate. Numbers, statistics or even a news reader telling you about death tolls etc in wars, almost get brushed aside with a “oh isn’t that terrible” then move on with the day..
It’s not until you stop and actually think about what the fuck all that means…. Then you realise how awful it is..
Can’t imagine actually seeing a conflict… but If anyone has ever been to a war memorial where there are 1000s n 1000s of names or graves.. thats fucking haunting in itself..

What you said about people moving on with their day is so true and probably my biggest downfall, i'm utterly incapable of moving on after learning about the endless inhumane atrocities that perpetuate through the past and present committed by the self proclaimed "most intelligent species"
after centuries of war to the present day, not one single thing has been learned by the general public, nothing, there is no hope.

Beautiful thing you did here dude. What a massive advantage to society you are. Keep it up, love to see it. Made my day this just the fact you’re getting people to recognise what’s happening and how terrible it is.
The following 1627 names have been confirmed – the actual death toll, according to the Ministry of Health, is at least at 2137.The number includes 578 children, 264 women, and 103 elderly, while more than 11100, including 3374 children, 2088 women and 410 elderly, have been injured./

While this is an extensive list it is not enough, if I copied and pasted it, it might break LB.
To many people suffered before this genocide started, how can one group of people play the victim so bad when they are perpetrating everything they claim victim for.

Dated from Oct 30 this press release re: the Gaza health ministry released names of 6,747 Palestinians killed in some 20 day period.
How many more murders are going to be committed before the Israeli government realise their acts of war crimes..
That is a number claimed by the hamas and reported by the BBC. You will never find the exact number as it is always exaggerated let alone their names. Sadly nobody can win this competition...

Wouldn't the second option in this cartoon be pretty vulnerable to a dictionary attack?
I'm not clever enough to review the maths involved

How many people use more than 10 characters ever?
Even though anything less is basically useless….so most passwords even using the full combo are pretty useless? 😵💫🤓
Even though anything less is basically useless….so most passwords even using the full combo are pretty useless? 😵💫🤓
My standard passwords are 11 characters. Websites that don't require good security, I use passwords that are 10 characters. Websites where security is more important (banks for example) I use 13 characters. Every password on every website is unique. And I don't use a password manager where a hacker would only need to crack one password to crack all of my passwords, instead I have a method of choosing and remembering the password for each website I visit. Any new website I visit I know what the password would be for that website if I signed up. All I have to remember is the METHOD of producing the password, not the actual passwords.
What is your method of generating and remembering passwords without a password manager?
Well, for obvious reasons I'm not going to answer that. But there are various ways that you can generate password algorithms.
e.g.
Take every other character from the URL: For littlebiggy.org you might get iteig.
Next count the number of vowels in the URL and add to the end: for littlebiggy.org, ignoring the TLD, I count 3. Add that to the end:
iteig3
Add some standard text that you add to all passwords, e.g. verysecure.
iteig3verysecure
Add a symbol on the end. For an odd number of vowels add &, for an even number add *
iteig3verysecure&
Not a terrible password (although "verysecure" perhaps isn't an ideal phrase to include).
Or another method might be to take the first 2 and the last 2 characters of the domain, ignoring the tld:
ligy
Repeat it
ligyligy
Count the position of the first vowel (2) and add to the end:
ligyligy2
Double the number and add to the end again
ligyligy24
Add a space and then add the domain name's TLD (org) in caps:
ligyligy24 ORG
Again, not a terrible password.
The point is that you come up with your own method for generating the passwords and apply it as appropriate.
The only downsides to this approach are:
1. You have to ensure you create an algorithm that consistently generates strong passwords, so a little testing is a good idea.
2. And the other issue is that many websites insist on enforcing their own stupid rules that limit the password you can choose. I've seen sites that refuse certain kinds of punctuation, but accept others. Some sites won't accept long passwords, where others won't accept passwords that are shorter than 12 characters. A lot of sites won't accept ANY punctuation, which is just plain crazy.
The worst of all, though, is when a website EMAILS your password to you after you've set it. It suggests they're storing your password in plaintext in their database. Horribly horribly insecure.

password padding with numbers and symbols either side of a memorable phrase. ie ££££££BuggerIt88888
You need a hash to crack a password though, so what algorithm is being used as an example here unsalted md5? sha1?.. What kind of rig are they running? What kind of attack? What kind of wordlist? What kind of rules? How can they base a time off anything without this info? Totally made up graph, everything is fictional.
Pws are hashed in bcrypt/pbkf2 nowadays anyway, another reason to make this hole thing fake..
Them saying if your password is X long you will be safe is ridiculous, what if your pw is stored in plaintxt then how are you safe exactly? This is totally dependant on so many factors, nonsense..

Thanks for a great giveaway DrShroom,
nice way to spread a bit of love around here after all the recent shithousery.
I think the way the boards work here, allowing us all to interact with each other on posts like this makes LB a much easier place to navigate and that's mainly down to the amazing community using it, Vendors and Biggas alike.
Smoke reports and Bigga's reviews on the meds available, advice on equipment we are all using and ways to negotiate the bitcoin minefield are all so useful for a fresh Bigga finding their feet here, and then theres all the Vendors trying to provide consistent professional services, going above and beyond to help out customers when they've been left in the lurch by some Grim Chancer.
Having said all that it feels too hard to narrow it down to one or even a few of you so im not going to, all of you guys make this place what it is, our reviews and feedback help everyone find the trusted vendors and avoid the undesirables so spend a minute to leave a proper review on your buys or guide another Bigga to something they're seeking that you found and you will have made the world a better place for someone, which must make the world a better place.
good luck gang👊🏻

Appreciate that thank you, and it was no effort, the community here is quality and it was completely selfish really, the more people that are interacting on topics and shouting out the best finds the quicker ill get to what im looking for! 😂
I would like to nominate 'TheWeedologist'
I don't know them personally but his/her lists and categories makes this place infinitely easier to navigate at times. 📃🙏

Adding my vote to Psychonauts for the sheer passion, and customer service. Also been lucky enough to never of had a bad experience with anyone here so general shout out to LB to just existing as a space.
Not been around these parts for long, however, having lurked my way through a lot of the site it's clear to see that 'PollyPuff' is an important part of the fabric here - consider my hat doffed!
I’ve got to give a shout out to psychonauts not only because of their customer service but the care they put into their products and customers I’ve never seen so stay positive guys!.
I would give a shout out to yourself DrShroom, your topics alone are super helpful and I have noticed a fair few people to refer to them “knowledge is power”

Im gonna go for blazin esx as the fella has a genuine concern for well being of the community and is happy to steer people on right direction dont know the fella personally but seems to have the community at heart which i think deserves a good trip.

I’d like to nominate Druids Magic, hugely friendly vendor, more than willing to give advice and information and feels like talking to a friend after a couple of messages, also hugely generous with their weights and basically all round great guys! 😁
Cant pick 1, reald, shoomoftheloom and britishbulldog.
always see those 3 helping out other biggas in topics.

Apexskunk2, I do enjoy a good strain review! Cheers for the giveaway and good luck everyone.
This is a really great giveaway idea, spread the love :D
My nomination has to go to the user Apexskunk2, for his funny and indepth smoke reports. When I see one of his reviews on the wall, I'm always gonna read it in full even if I have no interest in the product. He's definitely a bigga that makes the site a better place.
Best of luck all🤞

I chose to vote for an LB user... Had I voted for a vendor, it would be ULC all day long.
Personally I gotta give this one to radar breeder for being my first ever purchase on here
Had nothing but positive experiences with everyone on here so far. If I had to choose, Eddy's Hashbar stands out to me as someone with great service and weekly offers to check on.
Personally my favourite vendor has got to be eddy's! Great Comms and always great products! Also gotta give a sub nomination to Gassed too with some absolute fire!
Rules for winning. To make sure a winner is picked fairly we will be using tonight's UK thunderball draw 31/10/23 as the picker. There may be less entries than the thunderball upper limit, so there's a chance that the first one or two balls will not correlate to a winner. To make this fair, the first time a number is drawn, that matches a post I have replied to with a number, will be the winner. Any questions, just ask good luck folks ❤️
There are currently 34 entries so there are potentially 5 more slots. Of I number your entry you are in the running 🍄

I'll have to big up The Green Team with their loyalty reward offer, received the FREE 3.5g & the 7g at times when I needed it so hat's off to them 👍
Gassed for me. Goes out there way to help me out with any question I have asked them. Top vendor
Hebba29. Unbelievable value for bulk deals. Been getting great quality weed for about £3/g since march the guy has been a game changer for me!
There are so many good vendors but I’ll go British Bulldog, TGT, northern organics as all seem to be active in the community as well as giving us amazing products
TGT great variety on this page with great communication then you have the bonus scheme 😊 nice little touch for returning customers
Northern Organics: they just seem like awesome people who care about doing what they do really well.
Nice one Dr. Shroom.
Though I don't specifically chat or post alot, my favourite experience so far has been with Druids Magic, I mean every one on LB seems very pleasant, friendly and professional and no dodgyness, but Druids magic coms are just a bit special and also led me to an external purchase of the best pipe in the world, infact I have 2. 🍻😁

fav spacey, floaty albums?
sometimes i like to just pop on an album that takes me to another world. two most recent arctic monkeys albums are great for it, i feel like i'm floating through the galaxy whenever i listen to
DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing for me. One of the few multi format albums I own that I’ve had to replace several times cos I’ve worn it out. Freaks me out that it’s nearly 30 years old, it blew my mind then and it still does now. A masterpiece of a sonic journey.
I drove 400 miles to see him DJ. Got realy high then kinda drive home 400 miles. The good old days of 1996.
I second both of these choices. I came here to say the 2nd as clearly the thread title leads anyone who knows the album to think of it. Saw them play it live about 20 years ago, and they were superb.
I third them both amazing albums, I will add any ozric tentacles early albums, cinematic orchestra ,
At one point Spiritualized were my most seen band. Overtaken by Morcheeba by the end of the 90s (i used to go on tour with them tho). Smoke Fairies are up there now too.
If I was going to give a single suggestion it would be:
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-'92
Don't get Volume 2 if you like it and then expect anything like the same thing.

If you haven't already, check out both Noduns Ictus albums. Ozrics but with a focus on their floaty spacey sounds
Omfg the Ozrics! Lying in the dark on the floor two massive kef speakers , head in the sweetspot after buckets and hot knives
The original Dreamfish album was amazing back in the day. I remember getting a cassette tape copy from a guy at school and listening to it on headphones after a spliff which blew my mind. Got the CD off eBay years later and it's still good for an ambient chillout option.
I’ve got the vinyl of that! Quality Fax output. That label did loads of amazing CDs and they were all limited to between 200-500 copies only….
Sweet, I'll need to check my copy then. I might have bagged a rarity if it's the same label! 😂
I had quite a few but sold on sone years back highest I got was £300 for the second I.F. CD!
I prefer to lose myself in a movie or a game while high but this question feels like it was meant to be answered with ELO - Time.

Tripping with Nils Frahm is great for a spacey floaty experience. Seeing him live is even better.
Both Nodun's Ictus albums are good choices too - the Ozrics without as many guitar riffs

Warp Artificial Intelligence 2, from the early 90s. Incredible album, well worth a listen.
I don't think this is what you're after, but it fits the bill...
I often fall asleep listen to a playlist on Spotify called "Floating through space" but it is literally ambient drone 😂

I don't understand how geneva does well year after year, it's boring expensive and the food is relatively meh.
The liveability index is based on several weighted factors: political stability, healthcare provision, education quality, etc. Geneva has a high cost of living so a rich population and so does well in these categories. Which is why this index is flawed, like you say: it doesn’t take culture into account very well (this is an aspect but it’s difficult to quantify and subjective) and only accounts for how current residents find it, i.e. those who can afford to live there (or those who are unable to leave on the flip side).
morons, they actually ranked calgary as the best place to live in north america

Just wanted to drop a note and say thanks again to TGT for the comp. It took me a while to realise I came 5th so only got my prize recently. I won some Purple Punch and must say it's lovely stuff - well cured, good terps and a great high. Highly recommended!
Well done peeps close guesses. I was miles out haha but I am destined to win one of these lol 1 day soon I hope xx
Amazing competition and I was lucky enough to grab the 1st prize … received it a few days later ;) both the Hindu Kush and bored ape are a great smoke , the bored ape definitely has the best flavour when smoked but they both put my arse straight on the sofa 💨💨😊😊… both strains have good size and solid nugz … thanks

Shop will be closed from 12th May
Break is well deserved but I'd love to see you guys come back soon! All the best.
Shop will be closed from 12th May
We've had no breaks since starting and considering the drop in orders due to the issues with the blockchain we think now is the best time for the team to have a little break. Will still log in daily to check internationals etc are arriving okay and if reships are required but won't be sending for at least a few weeks. Will be back by absolute latest June

Indica Vs. Sativa - is it all BS?

Indica Vs. Sativa - is it all BS?
Indicas are sedative/couchlock, Sativas are lively/creative, right?
After 20 years of experience, I've come to believe there are so many other factors at play, that whether it's an Indica or Sativa is rendered borderline irrelevant.
I've certainly never had a bud that's made me run around like that athlete kid in Breakfast Club.
Anyone agree?

I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam. With exceptional quality buds, you can expect to receive the typical couch lock and sedation with a good Indica and a buzzy euphoric racing high with a solid Sativa.
Dr Grinspoon at Katsu coffeeshop was a pure Sativa, it was like drinking a double espresso, no ceiling to the high, it didn't roll over, one for the morning...
Apparently some Sativa's can work the opposite on some people, and can couch lock them. Amnesia Haze is a particular potent strain, whilst it's a sativa, it can deck you.
Perhaps check Leafly or Wikileaf for further advice on certain strains.
Have a good one.

The science says it’s bollocks full stop.
BUT…like a lot of people I have go to strains for when I want to get stuff done and others for when the bean-bags are calling. All part of the fun! 🥳❤️

after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/
in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

Some Sativas can give me mad insomnia.
Indica never happens.
Love sativa and coffee during the day and indica before Zzz.
I think everyone is diff though.

I think its more complicated than people think
If i vape Animal Mints or Obama Runtz at 180c I get sativa effects. If it vape Gorilla Glue 12 at 230c I will get indica effects. Yes smoking brings out the expected effects but the fact I can tweak the effects via temp makes me think its not as easy as indica/sativa
Furthermore, some sativas like Acapulco Gold or J1 are like a cup of coffee in the morning. Legit clear headed energy. Something like the Pink Lady is a sativa but it is more chilled. I think terpenes have a very big part to play in it. Maybe the kush terp has indica effects and that's why despite being a sativa, the Pink Lady doesn't hit like the J1 for example. I'm rambling a bit here but I hope you all get what I mean

There's a difference for me, stick to indica strains as sativa always seems to make the heart race and the anxiety then comes on and spoils the high. Maybe all in my head but happens everytime.
same for me, and strong indicas give me this incredible healing feeling that i just don't get from sativas
I've smoked 26 years, used to smoke anything and enjoy it all but now I notice a huge difference between the effects of sativas and indicas, every time I obtain an indica strain it's hugely relieving for my ptsd and post cancer surgery pains, and sativas almost always give me nasty anxiety. I'll still smoke them tho, because I'm an addict haha
I agree. Sativa is far more likely to make me anxious, whereas Indica is just a lovely, warm brain hug.
I think this is it, I’ve smoked for 20 years but didn’t notice the difference until really started to pay attention and start to use for medical rather than recreational reasons there is 0 doubt in my mind there is a very easily notiible difference. It’s natures way so everyone can be helped by this wonderful medicine, Sativa to speed things up, indica to slow things down. No one will convince me otherwise on this I’m certain if I was given a heavy sativa dom and n indica I’d know the difference within a few tokes
For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.
There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing
Seems the terpenes have a part to play, In the effect of cannabis aswell. not to mention that it seems a good %90 of strains are hybrid, you have an Interesting take non-the-less.
Alot of the time you can only really notice when it's grown properly!
In my basic opinion:
Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned
In my basic opinion:
Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned
It’s all about harvest times. If you let the sativas trichromes go amber, then you might get a couch lock. Similarly if you harvest your indica when the trichromes are clear, then you might feel creative and focused;)
Seems to depend on people’s chemistry. I cannot take Sativa or hybrid strains any more. Make me paranoid and awful circular thoughts and insomnia. Indica Im easy like a Sontag morgen. I grew up with hash in the 90’s whi I think must have been mainly indica and I used to love smoking. When skunk came along it was hit and miss and paranoia used to be more frequent. Thanks to Lb I’ve been able to buy what suits me both in terms of hash and weed. Got some lovelY Northern Lights and Hindu Kush and Fanta hash which are right up my strasse.
This is without a doubt important to me, after years of trial and error, I've discovered my ideal is a hybrid around 80 indica and 20 sativa, so pretty much something like a og kush or something, I've found a more sativa dominant strain will mess with my head, I get hyperactive and often get headaches, I can instantly tell if the weed isn't right for me, I think it depends upon you, personally I smoke for pain relief and mainly to switch off, I like the real stoned feeling you get from indica, it's like a warm blanket for your brain, I do have a very active mind so this suits me, of course each strain and type affects us in different ways, I can't say I've really every enjoyed sativa dominant strains but when I have smoke it I find it goes really quickly as it doesn't hit the spot, I'd say I'd be active with sativa as a rule if I had to smoke it .....
Same although I can’t really do any sativa. Just pure Indica and a nice red wine and I’m in my happy place.
More often than not it doesn't make much of a difference but there are exceptions. Maybe it was down to the terpenes, but...
So, I lived in Seattle for nearly 10 years and smoked on the daily and there wasn't any drastic difference in the effects of the many different strains on the go except for this one time that will forever stick with me. I had been smoking a typical kush number with dense nugs for most of the day before heading out to a place for hot wings with my mate. Dude pulls out a very straggly and wispy looking bud from Oregon, puts it into a bowl and we fire it up. Not a minute or two later that shit came on strong and cut through the Kush fog like a hot knife through butter. A rush of high energy blasted away the previous hours of smoking and we ended up high as fuck giggling like lunatics over hot wings. That's the day I realised that a real 100% sativa does exist and it's a fucking blast.

Total crap IMO..
What tests were conducted to determine whether a plant is indica or sativa?
It usually is one person who bred the strain, will smoke it and say this makes me feel couchlock or uplifting and then give it an approximate rating.
Since the rec market came into play all strains provide all effects you may desire from the plant.

Personally regardless of the weed is indica or sativa its the terp profile like for couch lock it would have to contain a good amount of mycrene to get this effect other terp profiles do different things I would imagine if it was indica or sativa and didnt have enough of the terp profile in either of them for what ur desired effect I dont think it's down sativa or indica more of what terp profile that weed carrys
There's definitely a difference in high between cultivars with the tropical 'Sativas ' generally being more energetic and psychoactive but now that everything is a hybrid , these classifications don't make a lot of sense anymore.
Also , those indica/sativa percentages are completely made up.

I too have about 20 years experience smoking different strains, including solids. I normally smoke 'bud' though.
The last solid i smoked had hardly any effect on me at all - it used to make me really 'horni', 20 years ago.
However, i do notice a difference between Indicas and Sativas. I do a physical job and an Indica strain does take the aches & pains of old age away, for me personally.
Ive had one particular Sativa that did make me run around like a headless chicken... lol

I've smoked, vaped, eaten it for over 50 years. Travelled around most of the producing countries of the East & Africa in the 70s. Grown much and spent time with several breeders too. Indica, Sativa and Ruderalis are real. A zillion hybrids confuse the Taxonomy thse days.

I think this is a really interesting topic.
Literature (e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-54564-6_4; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322819487_Cannabis_Taxonomy_The_'sativa'_vs_'indica'_debate; https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/can.2015.29003.ebr) disputes that the two are categories of weed with distinct effects, not least due to interbreeding and two hundred year old taxonomical confusion. I'd probably agree with this.
But if this was 100% the case, then why would so many people (myself included) claim to feel different effects with indica strains vs sativa?
One option is placebo - obviously a very powerful mechanism and I'd like to see blind trials about this.
My current theory which I've been thinking about a lot recently is that it's due to terpenes - as they are widely believed to mediate the effects of cannabis, is it possible that some are more prevalent in indica strains and others are more prevalent in sativa strains?
Obviously exploring the entourage effect and terpenes in cannabis, and even research involving cannabis in general, is a relatively new field so I'm excited to see what we find out in the next decade and beyond.

The interaction between terpene levels and cannabinoids is most likely the explanation for the perceived differences between indica and sativa.
A lot of sativas have little to no cbd, cdb affects the way thc acts, a lot of sativas have lemon, orange or citrus terps which seem to be the more uplifting and eurphoric terps, so sativas having an uplifting effects but being more likely to induce anxiety makes sense given terp and cannabinoid profiles.

Yep, that example with sativa strains often being limonene dominant is what I'd noticed to get me thinking about this.
It's funny though because indica dom strains can make me para which is contradictory to the typical assumption that sativa = anxiety. Obviously everyone is different and will see different effects but it would be nice to know about contributing factors.
We really need to see more research on this; it's honestly surprising that it's so under researched as the medical applications (esp for mental health) really demand understanding of these issues.

I don’t know really. A lot of it is down to the grower and how good they are. That has the most influence on affect for me.
Hey Family,
It is not as both have different highs and affect differently on every individual. Some prefer Indica or some prefer Sativa , its basically what they body and mind likes. We have topic on this and link is included in post.

Indica strains are the "Netflix and chill" of cannabis, known for their sedative effects that can leave you comfortably glued to the couch. On the other hand, Sativa strains are the "let's paint the living room" of cannabis, renowned for their uplifting and creative effects that can get you off the couch and into an artistic frenzy. Am I hitting the right notes here?
Interesting post, I have been thinking the same myself recently. Been smoking 20 years and I have always seeked out indicas as I preferred the couch lock but I have recently been trying to try a few sativas to try and get more of a creative high. found nothing yet, any suggestions on a strain if not just looking for a sativa?
I generally dislike pure sativas and hazes, but super silver haze is the exception for me, I've really enjoyed that many times worth considering have seen some listed on here
Dr Grinspoon, Sour Diesel, Ghost Train Haze, Mimosa. To name a few Sativa's. I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam, and I definitely noticed the difference. Sativa's or hybrids, will leave you buzzed, so best to only smoke these either morning or afternoon. Save the indica for late night, or a day on the couch with TV.

My favourite strain of all time is the original blue cheese, the smell from them buds and the high was unreal. Also didn’t mind jack hearer
Mine would be Chocolope, only had it once in Amsterdam but was probably the tastiest smoke I've ever had and it hit like a train. Would love to try it again.
Cheers TGT. 👍
Cheers TGT. 👍
My all time favourite is SoGouda, a strain from Amsterdam which is G13 x Cheese x Blueberry. One of the nicest tasting weeds I have smoked. Not seen it anywhere but Amsterdam and I haven't even seen it there for over a decade. Hopefully someone has kept it going somewhere.
Thanks for the comp and happy 420 TGT.

Animal cookies has become a fast favourite - sticks me firmly in place but the high is just so relaxing and fluffy! Great for pain as well 😎
Green Crack. The name put me off but for me this was one of the most euphoric and relaxing sativas I've ever tried.
I have to go with early 90's bubblegum or white widow, straight off the boat from Amsterdam.
More recently purple lemon cookies hit the spot when I injured my back some years back.
Also props to red and gold seal back in the day

Special skunk 1 cut😊. Scruffy looking but seriously stinky and tasty 👅 (not 🧀 but close much stronger)
I recently got some Cashmere, absolutely beautiful strain. Had me and the missus cackling like morons! That's my pick for favourite strain (so far)
Think it was 2005 and was in The Green Room coffee shop. Now my memory is fuzzy at the best of times.. lol. but think I had a Purple Kush pheno that tasted of straight up grape!!!
First time ever trying that flavour profile and it blew my mind..🤯🤤
Edit: There may be a slight chance I might of got the strain name confused… but it was a awhile ago now 😅

Grandaddy Purple for my, it was my frist taste of cali bud back in early 2010s. Never had flower packed with so much flavour comparing to the baggies from street dealers in the UK.
Love cookies-related strains 💚🍪 Favourite was probably some Mac I had a couple of years back. Happy 420 TGT 🥦🎉
Happy 420 TGT 😎 my all time favourite is a good stardawg! (Just like TGT’s recent stock) 😊Thank you for the comp! And good luck to all other biggas 🤞🏼

psychedelics and mental illness - a skeptical view
I think the same could be said of any scientists who are researching into a new area - of course the researchers who are looking into a niche/relative…
![[psychedelics]](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/u/w/300/_qnDwKnCKGzOeswLz.jpg)
psychedelics and mental illness - a skeptical view
This is a well written article and I agree with him that research into psychedelics is pretty fraught with complications. On the other hand, his condescending tone is a bit uncalled for: he's using the data collected by researchers to disagree with their conclusions... the system works! Without these so-called 'activists'; there would be no data!
Sure, there is a conflation between activism and research, but that's the social context in which the research is being pursued. In an ideal world, research into legalisation and medical uses would be entirely separate... but alas! There has to be a process of disentanglement before truly rigorous, objective scientific research can be conducted.
R.D. Laing's writing on schizophrenia, for example, reads much more like activism when compared to the scientific research being conducted into the matter over the last few decades, because the context was completely different i.e. the massive upheaval in how we view and treat mental health. Social change affects scientific progress. Any attempt to deny this is foolish.
In my opinion, the core component of drugs and their effectiveness is dosage. If you take a fistful of LSD, or take a moderate dose every day for a week (guilty), you're greatly increasing the risk of something bad happening, rather than a satisfying or helpful trip. It's really that simple. With every other drug we take this for granted - the concept is hundreds of years old (Paracelsus). I reckon the bridge between science and activism lies within harm reduction. We can't truly ascertain whether a substance is 'good' or 'bad' because it's always going to depend.
Another one of my morning rambles after smoking some of DIUK's King Hassan. Thanks for posting the article!

If you take a fistful of LSD, or take a moderate dose every day for a week (guilty), you're greatly increasing the risk of something bad happening, rather than a satisfying or helpful trip. It's really that simple. With every other drug we take this for granted - the concept is hundreds of years old (Paracelsus). I reckon the bridge between science and activism lies within harm reduction. We can't truly ascertain whether a substance is 'good' or 'bad' because it's always going to depend.
Another one of my morning rambles after smoking some of DIUK's King Hassan. Thanks for posting the article!
I think the same could be said of any scientists who are researching into a new area - of course the researchers who are looking into a niche/relatively new field are going to be those with personal interest. I don't think it's at any risk of becoming an issue though. Not one psychedelic treatment is anywhere near being approved for human use as a prescribed medication (as far as I'm aware) and the majority of public and scientific opinion is that psychs should be kept illegal and are not a viable treatment option. I think we're seeing the same effects described in that article apply better to media - we as people with a 'special interest' in these products are seeing the news more often, and these news outlets are reporting on it because it's novel and exciting and 'counterculture'.
But I think yes, skepticism is to be favoured as with literally any new research or use for a compound - we do not have the evidence, we certainly do not have any longitudinal evidence and won't for many many years (decades most likely), and so we should not see these as a 'cure all'. The same can be said for any new trend/gimmick/craze. With that being said, research is promising and despite biases there is a decent amount that seems reliable. It's just something we'll have to keep any eye on for the future; it is far from being a confirmed treatment or something that will end up being rescribed to people in a few years.

There was decades of excellent research into psychedelics and the effects on mental health leading up to the 70s when nixons war on (all) drugs stopped it all. Researchers these days are building on that massive body of evidence
The Latest on Ketamine, Psilocybin, and MDMA FDA Approval (and Other Psychedelic Advancements).
How and why we engage with psychedelic compounds is quickly changing, thanks in large part to a plethora of ongoing medicinal research and shifts in policy.
Compounds once known for their recreational use —such as psilocybin and MDMA— are being closely examined for their potential in various treatments related to mental health.
Products that have been around for a long time hopefully have some medicine that works with out have so many bloody side effect if used properly.

WANTED solution to edibles not working in me
I'm pretty interested in the geeky side of this - can you remember what the name of the enzyme is?

WANTED solution to edibles not working in me
I’ve asked this before but didn’t get much traction so second post ; Solutions to people not being able to get high from edibles. So for 3 try’s out of 4 I’ve not no effect at all from edibles it’s possible they don’t effect me. Is a tincture a solution to this I’ve been told it goes threw ur body a different way? Or anything help I wnna get fucked up someone helppppp
Without going all geeky there is an enzyme in the liver that converts THC to a non psychoactive form. It’s efficiency differs in individuals. I am clearly very inefficient because 10mg and I am flying but a liver highly efficient in this enzyme will neutralise virtually all the THC even in high doses.
RSO is about the strongest concentrate available so if that doesn’t work for you then you have one of those darn efficient livers and will probably live forever- or at least it will feel that way😉
You could boof it. Seriously- suppositories bi-pass the liver to the bloodstream and (apparently) deliver a stunning high.
Insert jokes here:
Good luck👍

I thought our current understanding of why edibles hit so hard was that, on top of a greater % of THC being retained rather then burnt off as with smoking, first-pass metabolism of THC converted (some of?) it into a more psychoactive form?

Sometimes it’s good to go geek🤓:
An enzyme called cytochrome P2C9 (CYP2C9) in the liver and GI tract is responsible for breaking down Delta-9 THC. This enzyme is used as part of the first steps of your body's metabolizing process. It also breaks down other drugs and hormones.
BUT….the level of production of that enzyme varies by individual and by liver health.
And that’s one explanation for why we all react differently to edibles!

i take RSO my friend makes sub-lingually (under the tongue) and it gets you pretty high pretty quick. Apparently enters the blood directly and bypasses the stomach route.
Interesting I read that boofing it doesn't give you psychoactive effects but I'm not sure, never tried lol.
I did read that people who have to take it for cancer treatment but don't want to get high boof it. The people doing the Rick Simpson regime are doing like 1000mg a day, it's nuts.

We have RSO also a drink version of edibles called Jungle Juice which maybe something worth trying my friend.

Have you tried ensuring you've not eaten anything for maybe 4 hours before taking? If you're taking after eating a big meal then its not got a fart's chance in a hurricane... I agree that eating something with a little fat / oil in it afterwards can help... even just a hot cup of tea with milk will do... failing that, give up on the edibles and try some RSO oil, probably cheaper and you can just pop a "grain of rice" sized blob on a biscuit...
Yeah I’ve took them before eating , they have only worked one time when I put some shake in the oven my self but I got really sick and didn’t like the feeling 🤦♂️it’s so annoying all I wnna do is take some edibles hahah
Thanks for the reply , Can you explain rso for me ? I’ve smoked for many years but just flower really , are you saying rso (Rick oil?) will work when edibles don’t ?
Rick Simpson Oil has never failed for me.
Melt three big bars of chocolate in a bowl, squirt in 1ml of RSO oil, mix like a possessed demon, pour into moulds so you get around 36 chocys.
1ml of RSO is normally 1000mg THC, so each chocy is about 30mg of THC.
You'll be off ya tits on 4, but 2 should do you nice. You'll know within 30 minutes.

I hope I’m off my tits gonna give it a try tomorrow 👍 just hope it actually works I’ve spend hundreds on edibles haha guess I’ll have to give up after this try lol
Give RSO a try, our cookie dough edibles are made with high quality RSO. Try eating your edibles on an empty stomach too
Welcome to the club my friend, it sucks lol.
I have been told to try drinking grapefruit juice before taking any edibles as it can affect the way medication is absorbed through the body or something sciency I don’t quite understand. That may work,
I haven’t tried it but it’s worth a go.
Somebody else on here mentioned about taking a carrier oil with the edible, take a big spoon of coconut oil with your edible that also may work for you.

Hi B,
The issue with edibles is that the THC needs a emulsifying carrier in order to be delivered both active and in the smallest ( most spread out ) form for absorption.
This is something that we have to factor in with medical users all the time.
There are several factors that can effect your personal absorption rates and thus dictate the carrier we would use for the THC.
The delivery would be in tincture or capsule form.
For additional effects, we would then include some activated shatter or melt, that would give you a more rounded and pleasant effect.
Basically, with all concentrate products, carts etc, we have to get as close as recreating a bud based old school product, by stitching together the correct concentrates.
The result for edibles for the users, "should" be a much stronger concentrated version of a cannabutter or RSO based product.
We are always happy to custom make products and having sorted out our turn around times, we're focusing on the more clever shit, like this, again ;)

SOLVED ; polly said about the enzyme Which I’ve heard of before after googling I’m pretty sure that’s my issue I probably can’t take edibles due to liver issues I’m going to try a under tounge solution to bipass my liver
Do a detox and kidney/liver cleanse. It's too many toxins in your kidneys and liver to get the effect. Do a long Fast then try them. lol
When your systems clean like Pollys will be you'll get effects off low doses as it converts to delta 11 in edible form. Also if you combust lots of weed you may just need a larger dosage.

Liver detox/any detox (especially Online/non lab made) is basically sudoscience they don’t work it’s a scam, so I doubt that will make a difference, if you google it you’ll see there has never been any proven correlation between detox products and genuine improvement, it’s like taking sugar pills. I think my problem is my body won’t convert the thc inside my liver
try these
https://littlebiggy.org/link/hkeNpD
yet to find anyone who isn't hit for 6 by them.
Will also be listing tinctures soon just waiting for the labels to arrive

I'm going through an edible test at the moment with very mixed results. Low dose, very mellow. Higher dose, nothing to write home about. Go figure! I will keep testing though. (I think set and setting are very important. Tbh I've tried a couple of times when I'm in a low mood and tired and the RSO has just amplified this. Although, it is supposed to lift your mood? May just stick to vaping!!)
The liver thing has been mentioned, so you could try putting RSO under the tongue sublingually as this will bypass the liver and "should" work (or a tincture, as you say). If it does and eating doesn't - then it's your liver. If it doesn't work under the tongue, it could contain no THC (maybe?). In that case, give it to somebody else to try. If it works for them, then I don't have an answer for you. Unlucky, I suppose?
Warning: the RSO I have is very sticky and leaves a dark stain, so be careful how you "consume" it. I went out once with black all over my lips and didn't realise for a long time. Not good for the paranoia when people are looking at you funny! Cheers :)

You need to understand your tolerance.
For example, when a serious vendor says it has 500mg (milligrams) it means 0.5 grams of some form of cannabis extract (RSO, rosin, BHO, etc) in the whole product .
This is a high doseage already , but if you don't feel anything gradually increase so you don't have a couch potato experience .
It can take up to 2 hours to feel the effect and like said before empty stomach will speed up absorption to the blood stream.
Strong Tintures might be a good solution for you.
When you eat it it's process in digestive system (mainly leaver) and it's impossible you don't feel... Once you know your tolerance !

Bald eagle bakery has an edible called the Death Star that is 500mg and the listing states not for pussies?! 😵💫
I think they’re is also a thing called death juice 1000mg to wash it down with!😜

Assuming you have tried UK/non dispensary edibles then try order some imports from SN2D or just make your own. Majority of uk edibles contain no thc. Check on wedinos if you don’t believe me, also check the reviews on most of the edibles on here they usually say light buzz or no effect…

The worst part was he used to build up with little skins so can you imagine the amount of those fuckers he used 😂

The Very Hungry Cthulhupillar

great idea TGT, already a few good looking reads i'd not heard of!

Book recommendation, that is a good idea!! An awesome book is The Dice Man by Luke Reinheart. It is about a guy who after a gaming evening, playing cards and dice with his friends then starts to give the options to the dice, and if the numbers come up he must complete that option. Great book, that caused me to carry dice for many years, in case I needed inspiration when making choices!
The Culture series by Ian M Banks. Start with Consider Phlebus, my personal favourite of the series is possibly Excession but they're all brilliant. Incredible world building and gripping storylines make for top drawer SciFi.
I've been reading The Similarillion, the book set at the dawn of the universes of J.R.R. Tolkein. A bit confusing to begin with but damn it's a brilliant book. It explains the structuring of the gods in their universe. Honestly give it a read if fantasy is your thing.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. a great book with arguably the best book to movie adaptation ever. Johnny Depp performed so well as Raul Duke
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera - sounds heavier than it is but it changed the way I think and validates a hedonistic way of life, sorta!

1. I had it way too young when it came out, can remember it being confiscated by a dinner lady at school 😂.
Lp 2 was okay but not close in my opinion.

Was just about to post Bukem's 'Journey Inwards'.
I was lucky enough to be part of the DnB scene in the late nineties, early 2000s and listening to this album just brings it all back.
Absolutely groundbreaking music that 23 years later, still sounds contemporary.
First time I listened to it I just couldn't stop replaying the album over and over again. Great times.
Good thread mushbar and good luck with your business.

I'm hanging on in here 🤞
I feel as though the truly dark days are behind me, finally - road gets a lil bumpy now & again is all.
Good to know there's real people out there, especially ones with big hearts ❤️

If you’re at all into metal check out Ne Obliviscaris. They’re an Australian Prog Death Metla Band. Albums are honestly like musical journeys. Portal of I is incredible. Cheers for the giveaway!
Daft punk, random access memories specifically "touch" listened to this my first time tripping and it changed my life.
not sure if this is still going but for me it has to be brighten the corners by pavement
the title track mate. he wrote it for his friend nick drake after nick had a mental breakdown, couple years before nick took his own life. check this performance out 4 years after it blows me away. one of the greatest marriages of the performative and creative process, expressed in this ecstatic world of pain that comes out when he sings for his mate.

It has to be one of the now series surely?!?! So overlooked but ever popular with all generations...
Example; year 1995
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC 31....
Hits such as...
Common people...
Here comes the hotsteppa... &
A kiss from a rose!
Featuring I'm the first few tracks its iconic beyond. Especially if you were growing up in this generation.
NOW if the CAPS LOCK wasn't enough & the title doesn't already scream established... The OG of playlist and mix tape mongals... NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC...
Peaking during the mid 90's right before digitalized and personalised playlist were available to the masses, this shit was a staple for all but the hardcore massive.
My humble opinion....
What's your fav NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MUSIC?

Seen a lot of albums I agree with here, espicially Stone roses and Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon. Tripping on shrooms, sitting on a beanbag smoking a J while looking up at the stars listening to Dark side of the moon is just the best experience.
Love to put 2 to recommend, but i'm going to go with:
The Verve - Urban Hymms
Should be a great listen for stoners and shroomers, has the classic UK hit Bitter Sweet Symphony. But I don't know ANYONE besides my dad who knows the other songs or even mentions them.

The vapour mixes in the head as you inhale for a really smooth massive hit. Carts usually make me cough, this is a huge hit 😶🌫️ that doesn’t make me cough at all.
Bloody brilliant 👍🤩
PS you don’t have to use two, there is a dummy head too- no jokes thank you! 😙

No matter what you're smoking it's always a vry good idea to have at least two strains on the go otherwise you get tolerance real quick.
This is so good on so many levels of fun, and
those SCL carts look quality ✌️, i'd personally mix gelato with ..ice cream cake.😊
Peanut butter gelato is tastiest i've ever smoked.
*I'm looking currently at the yocan uni pro on amazon. I'd love a Tombstone for Christmas tho for sure!👍❤️💚

Hate to be that guy, but scientifically speaking - using two strains simultaneously doesn't do anything to stop a tolerance build up! I'm glad it works for you though. But the thing that causes tolerance is frequent THC use, and that is going to be the case no matter what strain you're smoking. All the best 😊
Ideally, you have at least two strains, after a couple days smoking the same weed doesn't hit the same, so you move onto the other strain for a time, best way to do it imo.
Weed in general not just vapes.
Have a good one!👍

Good time for me as i get paid in couple hours and knew about your strange
weed collecting hobby already.😝
Honestly if i was rich (not saying you are or not friend) but if i was i wouldn't trust myself round weed, i'd blow every penny on it. I know you like a drink also so that must help, i started micro dosing shrooms and that suits me.
*sry to sink your thread, i'm on a very long timeout right now.
I've been given the power to sink threads for my wrongdoing lol

Hehe …you’re being very honest amigo- I have mates who look wide eyed at my stash and wonder how the hell I ever stay off it😂😂…I dunno, I hit it every day but when I’m high I’m high and it just doesn’t take much to get me there…
Works for my mates ‘cos they know where to come the bastards 😖😵💫😶🌫️

Is it good? It looks expensive too.

SCL were selling them until recently for $36 but they are about £45 online. But hang on to your hat, ‘cos how about the water bong version: 😛😃👏
Looks really interesting! Im going to do some research on this....simply loving the water bong version angle!...21st century rules!
For my next trick I will be combining rosin & distillate carts! …or indica & sativa ….or….🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
Hahaha! Nice one mate! Reminds me of the "Fast Show"..."This week iiil be mainly vapin....indicas!" lol!
How is the stoneover the next day on these new-gangled contraptions?
I feel like I’ve got a brain full of cotton wool most mornings so a break from that would be super! Is that asking too much?

That my friend will come down to how much you hit them!
I don’t get any lingering effects from pure rosin, but if I’ve overdone the carts then I will feel the wheeze! 😳

Good to know, thanks.
There’s a strong chance, if left unsupervised I’d over do it…….but If the rosin doesn’t linger that could be my new poison!

I feel you get a better overall stone with the rosin as for me it lingers longer. As distillie is a sharp high and not as long but that’s just me.
We need a seller to replace the SCL carts 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
At a decent price of course

I've no experience with carts. Maybe I should think about it.
I use an iolite dry herb vape, had it for a good few years
but
It is a butane device with a catalytic converter. Won some awards somewhere.
All this time I've been using it with a slight paranoia.
I mean, give a stoner a butane grenade and while it's heating up and hissing, you can't help but wonder sometimes...
However, it has done the job so far.
I needed a new chamber for it and looked up Oglesby and Butler because I couldn't get on their website...
...factory has burned down...!!
Still proceeding with caution ⚠️ 🤪
Anyone know of anyone has blown themselves up with an iolite please let me know 👍

Nice kit but no variable temp would be a deal breaker for me….I stick with the Mighty but have a Tinymight 2 on my Xmas list😻

This might be a stupid question but in your opinion. Compared to the one cart battery. What’s the usage ratios
Because of two are you using less or just burning 🔥 though the carts ?

Good question Daz…I’d like to think that two carts is two carts worth so I’ll convince myself it’s true😉👍
You and your toys lol 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I want one now. I looked at SCL page and I think they might still have some left.
No I have enough ha ha ha ha

I got a feeling that there are none left when you go to the buy list, so you just might be saved! 🥳
Aye just pulled the trigger on a new condenser for the dyna. Don’t even ask you can imagine. Not cheep but if you ask my misses or she asks it was a tenner lol 😂 on sale ha ha ha ha
Poly would you say it’s a game changer then? I’ve tried carts many times over the years but never got on with them because they always make me cough my lungs up. Wanted to switch over to vapes for years now but due to the coughing I could never consume enough to get me high or it was never enjoyable
It’s a big big hitter and the vape is cooler and smoother than on any other vapes I’ve tried (and the water bong version looks even better!)
The only downside for me with carts is gauging the draw, it’s simply not consistent like it is with say the Mighty. I don’t really know why, although there is no preheat so you are hitting it from cold each time. Straight to lungs 4second inhale will give me massive clouds and a huge hit one time and half that or less the next. But either way it doesn’t make me cough and other batteries always do….👍

The Psilo-Q test kits offer quantitive testing in a kit you can use at home. The Psilo-Q testing kit was found to deviate less than 10% from a professional laboratory (HLPC) analysis. I would say this is a rough, but effective way of grading potency in your batches on a budget. Depending where you are based you can get a testing kit sourced from NL for around €20.

I'd imagine it would be fairly unhelpful since each individual mushroom can have a wildly different amount of psilocybin, no? Unless you ground up all the mushrooms you had and combined them all together as a powder and took a sample from that I suppose.
The Erlich reagent test will give you a reliable positive or negative result for the presence of psilocin in a sample. I am unsure if a psilocin purity test is available on the market.

Weed for menopause?
One of my family is struggling with her symptoms of menopause. She's been put on medication by the doctor (I'm not sure what although i know there's some depression meds in there) but it isn't being kind to her. Has anyone on here has any experience of treating menopause symptoms with weed?
Sounds like she’s got one of those poxy doctors (normally male) who won’t prescribe HRT because once (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) it was mistakenly linked with breast cancer which has been utterly debunked! Grrrrrrrr…
My advice: change her doctor and get on HRT it may well prove to be the best thing she has ever done!
Back to cannabis…there are virtually no contradictions with scrip medicines. If she is not experienced in this wonderful world I would recommend she tries a rosin vape as a low risk/cost way of seeing if she gets on with it.
Pop over to Serial Chiller Labs and buy a disposable of your choice, these are 100% discreet. Nothing could be easier for her, rosin is a totally pure press of bud and may well help her a lot.
Then get her on HRT ! 😂👍
Good luck buddy 🤞

Ahh thank you Pollypuff. When I saw this post I actually ask my wife who went to the same thing if it helped her. She said it did, especially with sleeping. One thing she did add: that it did not help her with hot flashes. Not that it got worse, but she still had them. So if that is something she is particular is having problems with it is maybe not the best solution.
I hope that helps,
Love,
SCL

It doesn't so much help them, but it does allow you to forget about them and melt into the couch. Unfortunately the only thing that can help is a great diet, no booze and the right combination of hormone replacement etc...its pretty much just misery. I went to a private Gyno, NHS appointments just kept getting cancelled and rearranged. It was an expensive option, but I got the help I needed pretty much instantly.
Interesting. I'm not sure what symptoms of menopause cannabis could treat? What made you think of cannabis as an alternative treatment vs. more conventional treatments (e.g. HRT)?

Sharing BTC ref codes allowed?
I was just wondering if it was permitted to share referral codes to known/trusted platforms as I don't see it done and I see that it could easily lead to spam. It's free money for you and me, so everyone wins, but thought I would have seen it done more often if it was permitted. Thanks all!
New on here so apologizes if this has been answered or confirmed previously. Quite new on here and trying to find ma feet so to say and was looking at this post,
Just a few questions if anyone knows the answer or can confirm
The codes that you share do you only get the money if the user is new and buys the product?
Do you still get money if the person using the code has an account already? so the specific code for that product?
I'm going to simplify this and just give you the scenario.
Got some F'in A grade gear from here that a friend just so happened to try and wanted some (OF course he did) well anyway I ordered him some just to tie him over but I can't be arsed if he thinks that this is how it's going to work!
I am going to show him how to get started and how I do things, but will I only get bit coin from the links that I share with him or anyone or do you get coin for people setting up accounts who then proceed to order what they want?
As always thanks in advance to anyone who helps or comments its always appropriated
Take it easy

Storz and bickel mighty
You could try reddit; r/frientexchange I believe
Storz and bickel mighty
Anybody selling one of these?prefare if it was a vendor thanks 😎
Ah true never thought about that 15%,jus worry about fake ones on ebay but suppose amazon would be abit safer
The original Mighty (as opposed to the new Mighty+) is selling off cheaply these days and there is very little difference….it now costs less than the Crafty on vapefiend….
I was thinking about going for that as only diff i can see is the battery and ceramic bowl which shudnt make much diff,on the other hand i keep seeing the utillian 722 vape on reviews looks good,pretty much the same looking as the mighty
I managed to get the Crafty+ V2 for around £180 from GrassCity, they run discount codes now and again and that's what I used
If you're looking at second hand, I'd try more local to yourself (FB marketplace etc.) as they tend to be alot cheaper than online. Some people massively over value second hand items online 😂

Yes no wat ya mean,i seen a few 2nd hand but over price for wat they are,the price tag is high on these tho they are quality,only thing putting me off mighty or crafty is they only reach 210 c on highest temp,but i use my volcano on 220 c to 230 c,i know im running abit high but its wat i like,so the extra 10 or 20 c will prob make a big differance,was looking at higher temp devices but its hard making my mind up,the uttillian 722 is looking like a good option
Yes that's a fair point regarding the temperatures as it was also a small concern of mine before purchasing.
I personally don't go over 205c now with the Crafty, it extracts so much at lower temps it's not necessary ( in my opinion, obviously this is a preference thing).
Most of my vaping is done at 180c - 195c and I bump up to 205c for a few small tokes, simply for max extraction 🙂. I have just purchased a WPA so max temp hits will soon commence 😅
Hopefully you sort something out

Yea i was told not to worry about the temps with mighty or crafty as they run so well and like u said they extract very well at the temps they run,and i always prefare to buy the best and it seems storz n bicks have it all,wats a WPA?
I asked the same re max temps on the Mighty and it really isn’t an issue- my other vapes with higher temps do not extract as well, plus lower temps give better flavour.
A WPA is a water pipe adapter- you can remove the cooling unit, fit the WPA and use a water bong like a Budgie. The cool water means you can crank the temp right up for bigger hits. I was excited about this but don’t actually like it (I was very surprised to discover!). For some crazy reason it’s much harsher than the cooling unit for me and makes me cough. It’s a good hit but I never cough at all with the standard set up. Weird😵💫🫠

Yea everybody says the mighty extracts the vape really well at the temps it runs,my volcano hits like a train so thats why i want one,well its because i cant use volcano til kids are in bed as it reeks my house out so thought id get a wee portable one for the garden and can vape during the day,ah yes water pipe bubbler would be cool,i sort of like a cough as it makes me feel like iv got a good hit if know wat a mean,think thats y i run my volcano at 230c flat lol,but yes i think il go for the mighty and save money by not goin for the plus as dont think the extra is worth it,il try find one on offer and just bite the bullet and pay up
Thank you i shall be buying that on thursday payday as im so skint this week,thats a good deal to 😁
I got a whip ( hose ) and attached that to the mighty mouthpiece so you get the benefit of the original cooling unit, aswell as the water cooling 🙂
👍…yeah, I can get a whip adapter for the Budgie water tool but I’m starting to think I’m trying to solve a problem I don’t actually have! 🤔
Yeah, the 722 looks pretty although the Mighty lets you dial any temp rather than presets. It’s a big fill too at 0.4g- the Mighty has the option of brilliant dosing capsules that fill at 0.1g and you can preload magazines of 8- which can also work with hash and concentrates. Mighty wins! 👍😍

Alternative London
Very interesting, I love stuff like this! Thanks for sharing
Alternative London
Yo. Being a literary type, I have amassed a library of publications over some fifty odd years. Perusing the mess, I came across a first edition of Alternative London, a guide to living the alternative lifestyle in The Smoke, published in 1970, by a fine chap called Nicholas Saunders. NS covers a range of topics, from tenant's rights to transport, from provision of children's facilities to communes, law aid and legal advice to Social Security and homosexuals. All very good stuff, a snapshot of the time in which us 'Heads' and other non-conformists were living. NS states that to identify copyright infringement, he has included some insignificant errors in the text. I'll take the rap: actually, some copyrights expire after fifty years, so maybe it's a moot point. Anyway, credit is due, and that's all I can give him, to NS and his excellent publications, of which I have a sixth edition from 1982 and once owned the telephone directory sized Alternative England and Wales.Thank you, Nicholas. A crutch when walking was difficult.
From the general to the particular, here my focus is on the Drugs chapter. Opiates, hallucinogens, alcohol, amphetamines, cannabis are all presented here, along with the topic of overdosing and some suggested reading.
It begins with a beautiful illustration of Alice and the hookah-smoking caterpillar along with their conversation, from Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland.
Citing The Dangerous Drugs Act 1965, the penalty for possession of opiates can attract fines of up £1000.00 along with ten year prison sentences. this penalty is also applied to allowing premises to be use to consume or deal in cannabis, along with cultivation.
For amphetamines, Drinamyl is a mixture of amphetamine and barbiturate, the old 'Purple Hearts' along with the legendary green and white slow-release capsules. Latterly known, from memory, as 'French Blues' or 'Blues' French being the Smith Kline and French pharma producers. NS quotes prices at 1/6 to 2s each (7-10p each) and that was a stable price into the mid-seventies. A sealed tub of 1000 sold for £65.00 with a £35.00 profit. In my experience, more hassle than it was worth with speed freaks at my door day and night, talking bollocks and pleading for credit. I also had some qualms about the NHS and chemists being ripped off, so got out for years, then sulphate appeared but that could easily be cut. I scored for a while from a villain who used baby milk formula, 50-50, described by NS as 'the kindest cut of all'. He went down for numerous offences and I stopped my occasional use.
Anyway, cannabis, marijuana, hash, grass, 'Bob Hope'.
To be continued.
NS defines cannabis in its flowering tops; tea, (only heard that myself from Jack Kerouac's On The Road) grass, weed etc. and the resin that is extracted from it; hash, pot, shit, (which was a rarely heard one for me, along with 'charge', if anyone knows that one). Paki, Nepalese, Afghani and their classical descriptions, Red and Yellow Leb as soft like halva and wrapped in canvas, which in my experience was more like a muslin or cotton fabric.
Dig the prices; 'surprisingly stable and vary very little with quality.' £400.00 for five pounds, £10.00 for an ounce, (28 g) with 'quid deals' which may be anything from a 1/10 to a 1/20 of an ounce.'
NS goes on to say that one or two doctors do prescribe cannabis in tincture, (dip a cigarette in, allow to dry and syrup to swallow. Tastes terrible, apparently. I knew a girl who had very painful condition that eventually killed her. She was supplied with tincture which she passed on to me, with morphine which she used herself and a variety of tablets that she didn't take and didn't want to pass them on to anyone due to their addictive qualities. For non smokers, NS recommends dried mint in place of tobacco.
Again, controlled under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1965 Max. ten years imprisonment and £1000.00 fine for possession.(FFS!) Dealing, smuggling, allowing premised to be used, etc. Misuse Of Drugs Act cites five years and/or any fine for possession, fourteen years and/or any fine for supply, etc.
The Wootton Report. Report from The Advisory committee On Drug Dependence (HMSO Publications) considers that cannabis is probably less dangerous than alcohol and is much less likely to produce violent conduct than alcohol. Long term consumption in moderate doses has no harmful effects. It goes on to debunk the myth that hash is a 'gateway drug' with the personality of the user being the most likely cause. I wonder if anything has changed?
Next: 1982 edition.

Thanks, Spanner. It's done me a lot of good to put this up. The Alternative subculture of the Seventies really opened things up for a lot of people and drug-taking, along with its many casualties, has contributed to the creation of an environment that celebrates spirituality and recreation among many other good things and spawned new ways of living. NS, talking about dropping acid, ridicules the fable of putting a baby in the oven thinking it's a chicken. Rather, the tripper may feel compassion for the poultry and become a vegetarian. More soon.

What music goes with your weed?
Just curious about what Biggas listen to when they are high...For me,as my biggy name hints,I'm a MASSIVE Tangerine Dream fan(70s to mid 80s)(seen them live in over 20 concerts!) and all things of the "Berlin School" genre...Theres nothing that compares to classic "Phaedra" while vaping my fav strains...Then theres also Redshift,Klaus Schulze,Thorsten Quaschning(solo),Stefan Erbe,Brian Eno,Arc,Ian Boddy....the list could go on and on!....Currently I'm listening Koan on Spotify....blissful and exceptional combo!....Whats your favs guys????
Early Floyd works great for me…those albums are like stoner jamming sessions designed to be listened to the same way. I didn’t realise it the first time around as a teenager but it all makes sense now! 😵💫😂
yeeee Polly! a little bita Syd Barrett...early Floyd is thee best...
get on kind of blue Miles Davis. A masterpiece which will introduce you to the other side of the ether...
get on kind of blue Miles Davis. A masterpiece which will introduce you to the other side of the ether...
Oooh yes! Syd Barrett....God rest his fabulous soul....this is beginning to feel like the "Ole farts brigade of Prog Rock"!! Next we will be expounding the virtues of Elp,Genesis & Camel to name but a few! Not arrrf music lovers! Lets Rock!!!!!!!!
Oooh don’t get me started on early Genesis- no one is going to convince me that Gabriel’s lyrics make any sense if you’re not stoned! 😂😂
Yes i agree! Pink Floyd is quite surreal when listening with some good greens!...ever tried to listen to "Ummagumma" when flying high??...Amazing!
Now THAT comment is VERY spooky my friend because today is Wednesday and I have a Mimosa session on Wednesdays (my go to strain for music) and on my Floyd rotation for today, I swear to God is: Ummagumma!! 😳😵💫🤯⚡️👍❤️
...think that lyric quote I just made was from "Obscured by Clouds" and not "Ummagumma"...."One of these days I'm gonna chop you into little pieces!"....can anyone confirm???
Neither…it was ‘Meddle’.🤓 That lyric is ‘spoken’ by Nick Mason. Jeeez I am a Floyd nerd!
Oh yes of course it was Meddle! And yes...you are Floyd nerd!(which in my book is a compliment!)
LOL🤣
In much later live performances of that track they cut out that intro line 😖…Mason, who kind of looks like everyone’s favourite uncle these days decided it wasn’t really appropriate with his kids in the audience 🙃

Yes...I think Mason has "mellowed with age"...but its a great line and sounds totally amazing after a bit of Sativa!(or perhaps in your specific case...Mimosa!)(I must get some of that...heard a lot of good vibes about it!)
Mimosa & music is top👍 and will be hitting it in about 60 minutes🥳
After all this build up I’m going to add some of ULC’s Mimosa Wax to the weed for a ‘Mimosa Turbo’ 🤯
Will report back….😉

Sounds like a great night ahead! As its a week night sadly its only a warm beer and a packet of pork scratchings for me!!!! lol!
Probably 70% of the time it’s Frank Zappa but I’m always on the look out for new music, any genre and anything goes. Love to have people over, smoke and listen music as well, that for me can’t be beat.
Love a bit of Zappa when I'm getting high. "At St Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast....Where I stole the Margerine" Cracks me up everytime.
My favourites are Ozrick tentacles and Hawkwind ( mostly early 70’s Hawkwind) when I get high I seem to pickup the higher frequencies of the tweets and bubbles..if you are not aware of any of these suggest listening to “Masters of the universe” by them
Hawkwind & Gong, I used to hang out with both in early 70s. Private gigs/parties too when they were able to play, being too wrecked to tune up was Hawkwinds tradition. I don't listen to it now, I don't like it!
Oh i think you should!...I discovered Tangerine Dream after listening to late night John Peel way back in the 70s and they are STILL my favorite bands today! AND...I'm listening to "Rubycon" as I type this!!!

I discovered Rubycon the other day after reading a recommendation. Went very well with my chocohash
If you liked TDs "Rubycon" I would therefore suggest anything by Redshift or Arc...Mark Shreeve(sequencer genius) is in both bands and Ian Boddy is the other half of Arc...both sound very very similar to TD(Phaedra,Rubycon & Ricochet eras)...Have a look on Spotify as there are some great "Best Of" mixes from both :)
Yes I'm very aware of both my friend...in fact it was Harkwinds "Silver Machine" & of course the true DJ legend John Peel that got me into my obsession with Tangerine Dream & all things electronica!...I'm just listening to "System 7"(Steve Hillage) as I type this!
If you're into Tangerine Dream and more contemporary electronica, try a band called Reformat!
Thanks for that...will try them on Spotify...haven't heard of Reformat before so will let you know how I rate them :)
Miles Davis Panthalassa - remixed by Bill Laswell is spacey tripped out vibe
Utopia Strong - Tang Dreamish modular synth stuff from a band who include a member of Gong and Steve Davis (yes the snooker champ). Check out the track Brain Surgeons Three
Latest Gong album Universe Also Collapses is space riff-a-rama.
Anything by Cardiacs. Best band ever.

Usually something P-Funk, but I do enjoy Rap, not the mumble jumbo shit kids listen to these days, more the old skool viby type stuff
Yup: Zappa, Floyd ( agree - early!), a lot of jazz, usually 1945 onwards - a lot of stoners and as many smack users amongst those musicians of colour inc., Gillespie, Davis, Oscar Peterson, Mingus, Roland Kirk and many others. Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee ( ... amazing blues). Dusty Springfield ( check her out, from 60-70's she could rock and sing da blues up with the best), Patti Smith, Marley and a lot of real Irish/celtic stuff ( not River Dance level crap).
Little Feat ( been my fave USA rocky type band since they began - Lowell George was incredible), Tabla and other Eastern/Asian music - try Shahbaz Hussain or Sukhvinder Singh "Pinky" (Tabla - incredible) when stoned ( these guys really rock- you'll be blown away) .... I have many hundreds of albums, I could list all but LB would ban me 8)

Collie Buddz (Hold Firm, Good Life, Legal Now, Love and Reggae) Chronixx, protoje, herbalist, Bob Marley!! Peter tosh, Rolling Stones, Neil young, led zep, jimi Hendrix, Ben Howard, Jack Johnson. I’ll stop now
Great and varied selection there mate!...All fantastic and some well known to me...will try the others on Spotify...many thanks :)

Thanks mate! Yeah,Koan are really amazing! Such a talented combo...production is crystal clear and sharp...will try that playlist...also check out Steve Hauschildt on Spotify...very laid back and modular...great accompliment to some perfect vaping!
ive been really into a lot of midwest emo bands lately whilst smoking, with the weather it fits perfect
Sounds brilliant....Tonight Ive got some Royal Gorilla(from the great guys @ Northern Organics) accompanied by Tangerine Dreams new "Raum" album....doesn't get much better!
Just discovered Banco de Gaia on Spotify which is totally amazing to listen to with a nice haze! Check out the track "China" and you will be in "euphorium"! :)
Pretty sure I was at Glastonbury in about '94 or '95 or '96 not sure....make of that what you will..but Banco De Gaia played on a little bandstand out the front of our stall in the Greenfields...at least I think they did. I remember lying there coming up on my first something or other and it was a real moment of the the festival for me. Great memories...I think.
Yes they were there in 95!...the set was incredible and if memory serves this was my first foray into "bud" when previously Id only experienced "resin"...Happy haze-daze!
Must listen to some of them with my next smoke been chilling to kota the friend for a while now just gives me that vibe
Not sure if this is a necropost, sorry! Wish these posts had dates on them haha. But couldn’t resist a chance to share my favourite part of getting high; the music.
When I smoke I tend to go with stuff that has deep and layered production, stuff with a slight psychedelic/neo-psychedelic element, I love to sink into the sounds and hear all the little elements.
This tends to lead me to moden rnb; Frank Ocean, Brent Faiyaz. But to give one recommendation – Greentea Peng. Superb production, great vibes, and great lyrics on all her tracks. Perfect for me.
Alternatively, Left In The Dark by Galster Lustwerk is brilliant, perfectly captures that deep and mellow production.
Sending love biggas!

Just discovered Nils Fahrm on Spotify...this is very sublime stuff and very meditative,minimalistic and serene...if you like your ambient with a touch of "Berlin School"....please give this a try.....

The big news for me on the music side is the release of "Osiris" by Klaus Schulze this June...This guy is a synthesizer legend and even in his 72nd year on this planet he continues to produce mind bogglingly beautiful music that's made in Heaven...Heres a 6 min taster of Osiris Pt1......Enjoy!

Normally start off in one genre and 10 minutes later something completely different ❤️Life in music😄 where ever the smoke takes me funky 80s through to Marilyn Manson maybe ccc and Santana who knows man that’s the beauty of weed n music. Beautiful combo😁🙏
Yes,good to change genres occasionally...variety is the key! Loving Carlos Santana also! Hes defo THE MAN!
Dreamer420🤛 Love a bit of synth🤙 A few big tokes headphones on klaus Schulz eyes closed volume up goosebumps 🤯 👍
Dreamer420🤗 I’ll check out Osiris tonight when it’s quiet 👍. Currently in the shed doors open it’s raining outside listening to the dead south having a cool smoke😁🤣
Great stuff mate! Yes,"Osiris" PT1 is on YouTube but we all will have to wait till mid June for the whole album release,but PT1 is truly exceptional,so buying the CD in June for me is a given!!
It's been pretty varied lately. Lots of Hospital Records... but on a different tangent... I've been getting really into this dude...
