Yeah I got hammered 40% of the order price the other day, but needed my herb so had to pay it sadly, I said 2 years ago Biggie needed to use something like Nexo or Monero, even XRP, BTC is not viable long term here, should have been thought about by the admins a long long time ago.

I been having back and forth with the coinbase help team they keep telling me change the speed of how fast you want to send BTC the slower the cheaper. But there is no option in setting to change that not for the UK coinbase but for the US only. I even said to them I wanna transfer from coinbase wallet back to coinbase main app and then maybe sell and buy another coin like LTC and its still wanting $34 to transfer $27 this BS network fee. Just become a joke. I use Paybis on LB fee are not as bad but around $8+ network fee and about $3/4 other fee depends on how much your spending. But It's a straight forward to use. ( just make sure u add the fee when your sending amount sometime it won't add it and then you will have to pay the fee twice) Good luck

P.s one thing I did notice on occasions the fee went down significantly bit still not justifiable after midnight UK time. But then check in the morning again went higher then the day before. As mad as that sounds try it.

I don’t send from an exchange anymore, I don’t ever us a CEX, no need to, I just run everything through MetaMask or Ledger now, it’s a far easier expierience imo, but slowing down the speed isn’t that much cheaper, can take literally 40 hours, that’s just stressful and panic inducing, the fact is high BTC fees are here to stay imo, so a viable solution needs to be found, XRP sent and received in seconds, might cost a dollar to send, that’s what we need, this just can’t be good for buyers or vendors can it. BTC is a storage of wealth, it’s not a payment processing currency, people need to stop treating it as such.

Peanut I’m feeling you dude

This afternoon I had $147 dollars in my account, placed an order for $130 dollar went to pay, $30 dollar fee for the transfer ! Didn’t want to cancel on the vendor and muck them around so had to buy more bitcoin to cover fees my half oz ended up costing me about 175 dollar
I completely agree with your question WTF 🤬
I love this platform but its pricing me out back to the 11 year old county lines smurfs on their electric scooters and man bags lol

Youre not doing anything wrong, some are paying the fees, im with you i cant pay these fees either, its really unworkable now.

We need a Christmas Miracle!

We want usdt say we want usdt
We want usdt say we want usdt
We want usdt say we want usdt

Hey peanut,

Don’t worry you’re not doing anything wrong, network fees atm are just ridiculous. It’s all based on congestion on the blockchain and the miners will set prices higher during busy times and there’s nothing we can do about this unfortunately (unless an alternative currency was used).

Fees tend to come down in the evening and early hours of the morning (UK time) as less people in america are trying to process their transactions.

It can vary every couple of mins so i’d recommend checking a few times in the evening and after midnight as you’ll hopefully find cheaper fees then.

I had a £45 fee on a $135 order all weekend and this morning i managed to put the order through when the fees were around £14 so i’m sure you’ll find a time when the fees are reasonable for you to order.

Hope this helped and good luck with the offers! 😊

It's Blockchain congestion, most exchanges are charging ridiculous network fees, it's not just Coinbase. Plenty of biggas are waiting for the fees to drop before they buy, I can't justify dropping the price of a Q just to move BTC from one wallet to another.

Ah yeah... just read all the other posts. Seems this is a universal problem and not just me (captain paranoia strikes again!!)...has this happened before cos I have ordered fairly regularily over 2 years and never had this problem...is it likely to resolve or am I going to have to start hanging out in dodgy places with dealers again ?

It will calm down eventually. There have been spikes for the past month or so, and earlier in the year there were congestion problems too.

As others have already noted, alternatives to BTC would make all the difference. It is being worked on as far as I am aware so hopefully there will be other payment options next year. In the meantime all you can do is check the network fees and hope you get lucky.

It doesnt calm down for long. This is the nature of btc. Its a volatile piece of shit and useless for our purposes. Im done with paying these fees and im not buying here til theres a payment alternative

Same here. Just did a pre BC trade to see what Bittylicious are charging, and for a value of £24.00, the total with fees are just over £42.00!! That's almost an 80% mark-up. As i mentioned in a previous post, this will kill the LB community. Also from what i've heard, these fees are here to stay for the forseable!

I just used my Revolut account to send $55 and the fee was just $12
Forced into it really cos my coinbase has blocked my Lloyds account and my Revolut.
All sorted in less than 30 mins then :-)

I turned down the speed, to make the network fee more reasonable $10 on a £130 instead of $45. I changed it from 158 to 40, normally my transactions approve in 30 minutes, but its been 8 hours and still not processed. If anyones interested say and I'll update on the
processing time.

40 sats/VB? Mate your gonna be waiting ages. I'm stuck at 118 sat/VB since last night. Might have to buy more coin and see if I can speed up the transaction from exodus wallet. FML BTC is starting to piss me off

I know but I'm not in a rush.
The fees are starting to drop at the moment.
Looks like they are down by 50-60% right now

I'm not sure tbh mate, it might end up coming back to you @ 40 sat/VB. Don't look at the $ amount on mempool, look at the sat/VB amount that is being processed at the moment. Mine finally went through at 6pm yesterday thankfully.

Yeah I think you might be right, the fees rose again today and trending up.
Nice one for getting yours through

UPdate: fees are down to 105 sat on the last block processed this morning, trend is down.

Order finally went through on 4th January at 40 sats. I guess the lesson is to pay more attention to what is going on with the BTC and Exchange, especially at busy times.

My last purchase I paid way too low a fee and even once id accelerated it it took three weeks to confirm. When it did eventually confirm the order went through. Check Mempool. At the moment 40 sats wont even get a sniff as low priority is 200 sats and 153 and above is taking over an hour. Yep. Truly sucks. Sorry you are having this experience

You still waiting aye?

Yes, but the fees are dropping at the moment.
I checked last night and the median was about $35-$40 its currently at $15

Doesn’t really solve the issue though, fees are still high, you spend 12 hours checking every ten minutes shitting your pants that it actually gets there, then causing delays on dispatch in an already in places slow service, ‘RM not vendors’ generally. It’s just becoming a bit of a hassle rather than a godsend it used to be.

It's a new level of shit right now, been waiting for the fees to come down cos I couldn't afford the original $60 but this morning the fee for a cart of $138 was $150 on eco. Not quite the Christmas present I was looking for.

I stocked up a bit before and had ti accept the fees, very very begrudgingly but I’m waiting for a cart that I kind of needed for Xmas day while out away from home and it’s not come, been 13 days, reship sent on Tuesday NDD still not here, that’s the ultimate insult to the fees, I paid the massive fees and still out of my shit, insult to injury, you’re not the only one man, it’s deffo been a massive hassle this year.

This is the exact same situation with me lol

I am a hardened toker. 30yrs +. Shamefully I am psychologically addicted. But I don't drink, do class A or mug old ladies. It is my only vice (not including motorbikes)...
Anyway a couple of years ago I shared a joint with a dutch guy in a cafe in Amsterdam. It was his joint and it blew my socks off. I was seriously stoned for 12 hours. The guy worked in the cafe and I went back the next day. He told me the reason the joint was so strong and nice was that the contents were only 2 weeks old. He said forget about strains and names. All weed is pretty much the same. It is the age that counts. From the moment it is cut weed like most plants it starts to degenerate. The THC breaks down and it gradually loses potency. In fact he told me that the experts are trying to develop strains that break down more slowly.

Anyway my point is that vendors give their product fancy names and descriptions when all that really matters is the age of the product. Same goes for hash too. So now you know....

I thought you meant it needed a glitter shitting rabbit for a minute, it obviously does need one of them but I think a search engine would come a close second…

It does typically depend on how much glitter I eat but 🤷🏽 if little biggy needs ...

In terms of searching for products, the best way is to use the 'find in page' option in your browser.

Unlike the Topics and People pages, the Items wall loads all at once so when you use the find in page option it will search everything on there.

After that it's just a case of reading reviews and checking ratings.

All the best.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

If it’s not even getting dates I doubt we’ll ever have this D:

And dates when messages are posted so you're not entering competitions that are months out of date 😄

Ive found this Caeba page useful to help find vendors but yeah a search would be good.

What it really needs is a good competitor that is on the clear net and works In similar ways, easier said than done I know.

Like most things, when 1 place has the monopoly it makes changes and innovation slow. There's no incentive for change on here because we're still going to place our orders either way. If there was a competitor it would force both websites to improve and come up with new ideas, directly improving the experience for all

Either way, long love LB and glad it's around, we would be lost without it 👍

Wow, you have all the best toys! 🤩

Great album.

That's the one, this was a little pre-Gorillaz team up.

Lasagna/mac'n'cheese pasta bake. (This is one dish, not two, you guys and gals know pasta bakes are very versatile.)
Rustic, fairly easy prep, not so much attention required to the actual dish when baking in the oven. Perfect for when you're up in the clouds, just don't forget you're actually cooking.

PS: always make sure to top that motherfucker with some more cheese in the last 5 minutes. 🤤🤤🤤

Tanku for the comp x

McDonalds Big mac

I love a Sunday roast, but in hot weather I prefer chicken thighs in lemon, thyme, and garlic (garlic optional).
It's so easy to make (literally a couple of minutes prep), and goes as well with salad as it does with roast trimmings if the weather is cooler.

Also very quick compared to a roast (all done in less than 45 minutes) and the lemon flavour is just lush!

(Ping me either way if you want the details).

22:37, 02/07/24.

Sundays ma day off from cooking so it has to be mixed kebab meat chips n cheese with 'a lil bit of chilli sauce' so i dont have to put the bog roll in the freezer and savlon in the fridge 🤘 happy sunday

2/7/24 18:01

Thanks for all the biggaz who entered. It was a little less creative than the previous ones and other than the snails I don't think there was anything that I did not have in the past. (I won't have the snails tho xD)
I didn't really know what to pick to be fair all those are pretty boring dishes that I had countless times but because I have to pick one I think I would go for a nice roast and because there have been many of you suggesting this I should and will be picking the first one who suggested this. So the winner this week is Minty. Nicely Done Sir! Please check your inbox ;)

I mainly use it to keep my stress levels under control. I would find myself getting super stressed about silly things. So much so that I could feel my blood pumping around my body. I've never been aggressive or violent, but I would constantly be stressed out. To start with I was trying to control it with Stella and super string cider. Then I found myself with a constant acid burning feeling in my belly.. then 4 years ago my misses suggested I made the change to weed and I have never looked back. Although it does make me lazy sometimes haha. But I'd rather have that than have a heart attack at 46 lol

lol, defitenely alcoohol in the long run wouldn't have helped you much, it would have really destroyed body and soul. thank god you listened to your misses, wise change. don't forget the simple things, walk barefoot in nature once in a while with your misses, quality time in nature. she saved you with that suggestion lol.

peace and love to you both, tgt x.

Thanks man I'm certainly a different man now. I will tell her what you said, very kind. Wishing you and the team much love and peace too and thanks for your suggestion we will walk with nature at the weekend x

happy to know!
tgt x

I doubt the Stella or Super Strong cider helped with any violent tendencies you may or may not have had 🤔 Agree though that laziness over cardiac arrest any day 😂

I'm gonna apologise up front. Didn't intend to make this a long post but it's mad the things you remember when you're baked and start writing 🙈🤣.

TLDR: shit happens and weed helps.


Had back problems for years due to a protruding disc, that was mis-diagnosed because I started with psoriatic arthritis around the same time(2009ish).

Weed helped me with pain relief alongside co-codamol, but I also found it good for appetite, sleep and just my all round mood and mental health while I went through the methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, humira ordeal trying to free up my joints so I could get back to work.
MRI scan found the dodgy disc around 2015, had surgery to shave off the protruding bit but that didn't work very well so it was 4 years or so of epidural steroid and nerve blocking injections (evil procedure to go through 😖), NSAIDs, gabapentin and sitting on the waiting list for fusion surgery.

Life got interesting when I had the fusion done at the end of 2019. Initially it was amazing.
Sciatica gone.

After a couple of months of recovery and rehab, I was in a lot less pain, cutting down on the co-codamol and thinking about starting to come off the gabapentin, and just using the weed to relax and ease the remaining aches and pains, that were a lot more manageable, at the end of the day.

Much success 💪

So may 2020, middle of the initial covid meltdown, I've been back in work full time for 3 and a half weeks working on home extension, already worried about the possibility of being banned from working ("they wouldn't close the entire country down, would they?" 😷👀).

5am. I'm in the kitchen doing stretching exercises and drinking tea while I wait for my morning round of pills to start working.
I'd been giving myself a couple of hours to get get my body in gear every morning before being picked up.

I was leaning over the breakfast bar, using it to lift most of my weight up off my feet to stretch the bottom of my back out. I lowered myself down and took a step towards the kettle on my right and SNAP!
Left leg gone 🙈
tibia and fibula both completely separated and my foot/ankle wobbling about whilst I lay on the deck screaming.

9 days in hospital with no visits allowed waiting for a surgeon to glue me back together and I'm back home with a bottle of morphine and an 18 inch titanium bar with 16 screws stopping the wobble.

The surgical wounds took a loooong time to heal up and I wasn't discharged until January 2021. Took me a while to start trusting my new bionic left leg, but by March I was back on light duties at work and starting to feel a little bit more positive about the world.

This time I managed 2 weeks of being a productive member of society before a flipping egg yolk size blister appeared on my shin, burst and carried on leaking what I thought was blood.

It actually took them nearly 4 weeks to get me in for an "emergency" xray that showed osteomyelitis had travelled along 3 of the screws, into the bone and along the titanium, which basically required removal of all metalwork, a tablespoon size chunk of bone scraped out and one of those fancy pico dressings for a month while the massive hole on my shin tried to close up.

Mean time, the sciatica is back due to "irritation" of the nerve, and I'm hobbling around on a leg that i trust less than I'd trust Michael Jackson to babysit my kids.
My head is fooked.
I think I may have ptsd.
Pain clinic won't do anything until I've had counselling, that I've been waiting for since October 2021, and it feels like the pain specialist's attitude is basically deal with it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Body is knackered, head is knackered, I applied for pip in June 2021 and am still waiting for a tribunal date after being diagnosed fully able bodied over the phone.

So for all of that shit 👆 (there's more but most have probably given up reading by now 🤣), the one constant comfort has been the beautiful miss Mary Jane and her ability to stop me from feeling like shit 24/7 365.
She's helped me to deal with an absolute shit hand of cards, in many ways, and I love her very much 🥰😅.

If you got this far, we'll done! Treat yourself to a cannabis product of your choosing 😉👍

Wowzer…I will never moan about my spinal issues again! 😵‍💫

Good luck with it all buddy 👍🤞….long live LB😻

We all have a right to moan about our own issues, lol. Chronic pain is chronic pain, regardless of what caused it.

So moan away sista ✊ nobody has to listen to us moan if they don't want to 🤣

your writing skills are so captivating, felt like I was reading a book.

so many difficult moments you have been through, really had to be a warrior.

have you ever looked into any alternative/integral medicine or holistic treatments as well? neural therapy with procaine shots are amazing to regenerate the nervous tissue, many times our scars contribute for pain in other parts of our body. seems like a small detail, but could bring you more life quality in the long run. I would look into accupunture as well, or even deep tissue massage.

lots of love, tgt x

Haha, thanks.

I could've kept writing for another hour about all of the treatments I've tried.
Massage is very good for relieving tight muscles and the different buzzing, tingling, aching sensations that I get down my left leg and groin. Only problem is that relief (in my case) is very short term.

I have a spot on the top of my foot, along the first 2 metatarsal bones, that feels like I'm getting text messages on vibrate all the time. Aches like a mofo constantly.
But when I get some oil on it and give it a good strong massage, it's like flipping a switch!

All the sciatica pains down my leg stop, the vibrating sensation stops texting me and the mental relief is amazing.
The trade off though, is that the foot ache goes from constant low to mid level nagging pain, to a super localised stabbing pain right at that one spot.

The mixture of instant relief and whatever endorphins and stuff that gets released, and the new, sharp pain from the massage is very hard to describe. I'll just say that the kids find the noises I make absolutely hilarious 🤣.

I'm usually back to aching within the hour, but every little helps, right? 😅

Ouch 🤕

That was an epic post!

Of course I read it I'm baked rn too! i feel ya pain buddy (literally lol) its places like this that give us a chance to post stuff like that and it be totally cool so good on ya cos mine was a lot shorter, one day at a time well sometimes one hour at a time but theres always hope in the smallest of things and weed enhances that so much, lost count of the times i cant take any more meds and im chain smoking weed and throwing in some booze for good measure and then I find the right music to make me forget for just a little bit and then the drink gets put down and the smile widens as the THC has met with my wanna be dancing music part of my brain and ganged up to kick the hell out of the pain part for a bit! Boy weed rants are good lol, peace bro and hope you're not in too much pain atm

I use it to alleviate anxiety, depression, BPD and PTSD symptoms. It's not a miracle cure, but it most definitely helps. CBD every day, THC on the weekends. The CBD helps me with the every day anxiety, panic attacks and sleep problems. Vaping bud on the weekend helps me to feel normal, able to concentrate and like I'm not going completely insane with the flashbacks and emotional outbursts.

indeed, holy mary jane. there has been lots of studies on how this medicine lowers ptsd symptoms, more even with the association of thc - cbd. glad you found this relief.

I also heard of a new therapy treatment with induced lucid dreaming, sounds really interesting! in case you are not open to psilocybin. psychedelic therapy has been super effective for ptsd and depression. for bpd I guess the research is still recent, but studies show how psilocybin improves emotional regulation. in my case, the best for my depression was psilocybin.

but of course, I'm no doctor and every body is a different universe.

lots of love, tgt x

I use cannabis to help me switch off and unwind and ultimately sleep.. always had a problem relaxing and falling asleep ever since I was a kid and younger according to my mother.

wow, really serious issue. lack of sleep in the long run can cause so many harm to our health. alongside mary jane, some mineral reposition is key to a great quality sleep. sleep is physical as it is metaphysical, I mean, it can have a lot to do with our biochemicals. it's good to look for a doctor who works with mineral/vitamins reposition. mineral and vitamin absorption is a complex thing, many times our body needs a substance to be able to absorb another substance. I know that magnesium citrate and potassium can help, but this means nothing if your system lacks another substance in order to absorb them. have you looked into that yet?

tgt x

Thanks for that insight but I don’t think it’s a serious issue.. a little herb a couple of hours before bed and make sure I don’t go to bed stoned out of my head then I can switch off easily and have a restful night.
Accompanied by my varied and balanced diet with regular exercise and I’m good to go. Cheers lads.

As a younger me I had an accident on a bike breaking my arm and damaging my back, have used it since I was a teenager (alongside cocdamol) and find it helps massively with IBS and the cramping as again doctors would rather shrug it off and say crack on.

it's easier nowadays to listen to a doctor prescribe a drug that in the long run brings more risks to our system than a doctor who stands up to the medical council and recognises the efficacy of plants or is aware of the languages of the body.

if your IBS is not related to family history or bad eating habits, as is the case of my cousin, it is very much related to our mental health or even to the use of antibiotics in the long run without the essential supplementation of good bacteria (probiotics and/or prebiotics).

interesting to notice how through mary jane we can observe the intestine-brain brain-intestine communication. it relaxes, nurtures your thoughts, consequently relaxes a bit more your IBS.

have you tried the good bacteria to strenghen you? the use of probiotics can promote modulation of the intestinal microbiota by competition and consequent inhibition of pathogen adhesion to the intestinal epithelium, which means that they improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function by downregulating of mucosal immune activation, increasing mucus layer and tight junction protein production. so, in general, it promotes anti-inflammatory effects through the suppression of pro-inflamamatory cytokines, improving intestinal immunity and stimulating the production of secretary IgA (immunoglobin A, very important for the defense of the mucous membrane) and intestine-brain communication.

I'm an enthusiastic about psychosomatics, integral health and chinese medicine. through an holistic view, our intestines teach us that more important than possessing is knowing how to enjoy, that offering is as vital as conquering and that the only true appropriation is the possession of oneself. in the movement of filling and emptying, they enable each individual to know themselves, to build themselves, to exercise themselves, to improve themselves and to offer themselves, guaranteeing the healthy peristalsis of behaviour and emotions.

I went deep on this one, lol.

peace and love,

Takes away my aches and pains,I’ve got a physical job and I’m getting on a bit(over 50)and I do a bit of running,so a bit of smoke relaxes my muscles,and help me recover,plus also relieves a bit of depression you know what it’s like now days with all the shit going on.😁
I think it nourishes your endocanabanoid system also.
Happy smoking 👍

glad to hear mary jane brings relief to your pains. also, magnesium citrate replacement helped me a lot with the contractures and muscular pains that I had. and, without a doubt, psilocybin exorcised the depression demon out of me (and many other people that are also healing from it with psychedelics therapy).

lots of love, tgt x

In July last last year in 2021 i had a life changing event not what I ever imagined at my age. I was in so much agony I could have been paralysed if they didn’t do the emergency operation on me…
I’m 33 and had both my discs removed from lumbar spine which has put me in a wheelchair, due to weakness and tremors in both legs.
I’ve had physio and I’ve been discharged from them too.
Pain killers don’t do me justice cannabis or hash is my pain relief, it helps me get an appetite as been bed bound I dont ever feel hungry so it helps.
I am in severe pain everyday due to been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, cannabis helps my pain. Without any bad side affects unlike prescribed medication from doctors. That make you feel terrible.

Im not able to get upstairs due to my house that cant be adapted. Im on a waiting list for an adapted property so im able to have a proper shower as i havent had a proper bath/shower since july 2021.

Upon all of above it has affected my mood by having these life-changing effects. Before I had 6 jobs n now I’ve been medically retired!
Cannabis also helps me sleep and get a good nights rest, without it I don’t sleep.
It also helps with stress to help me concentrate better. And stop me from been scratchy.

helps me deal with my social anxiety, ASD and insomnia. doubt id be here if it wasnt for mary jane

some plants can really save our soul. I feel a deep gratitude to be able to work with a plant that helps you have more peace and health. your comment touched me.

I get relief from anxiety, and also muscle cramps due to being on my feet all day working. And it helps when I'm feeling a bit down. I think things would definitely be worse without it.
