Won't be for another 2-4 weeks my friend but I can sort you some out of my persi (5-10pcs), drop us a message.

Looks lovely. I'd say good luck with sales, but I don't think that is needed!

Top man, thank you for the support.

Those badders you have in look amazing, matey! Bet they taste delightful...

May or may not be related, but I’ve seen some manufacturers now using Distillate to increase the THC content. They are also adding some
Other oil or terpenes to create almost artificial smells. I seen a bar named “Bubblegum Candy” with a pink stamp and it smelt like walking into a sweet shop. Can’t be good for you at all.

Good to see tests like these from other vendors. Well done, SOTL

Yeah, mixing CBD kief or some kind of bulking agent with dilly and terps and passing it off as commercial.

It's messed up mate, certainly not on.

I just gave this stuff back to the supplier, no way I could sell this fake terpene ridden formula hash bollocks in good conscience.

I'm sitting here rough as houses coughing my guts up because of this stuff, it is NOT safe! Be careful out there, people.

SOTL

It’s ruined any 100g purchases for sure.
Sad

So pleased for this post.
Was gonna do something similar but you beat me to it!
A LOT of what’s of here is contaminated gear in one way or another.
In the week I will post matching photos to yours.
I’ve been smoking over 30 years and I can spot this shit a mile away.
The fact the majority of vendors plead ignorance when confronted with evidence is shocking at the least, and simply unbelievable if I’m to consider you a professional at best.
Some even deny it when confronted with the evidence, and continue as if nothing happened.
Some of these products are simply dangerous.
With the massive expansion of legal weed worldwide, there is much more waste product available. Unscrupulous persons take this and like has been said, add distillate to add back the strength.
When it was cheap shitty THC distillate many people were tbh none the wiser.
I know of a couple of ‘fake’ hash products live on the site now that get great reviews, showing how little the average punter here actually knows, or maybe the reviews are simply about the pack actually landing, because it cannot be about the quality of product.
The problem imo, is the synthesised cannabinoid distillates. D8, HHC and the like that have recently become available. This is obviously a much cheaper option to actual THC. So why bother with the THC distillate at all when you can cut those costs by 90%? Some of this stuff isn’t even for smoking / vaping etc.
On a side I personally think LB should ban any and all synthetic cannabinoids on the site.
The fact TGT sold it all over last Xmas in their hash special offer without much come back says it all really. I’ve managed to find some listings on the dark web that actually show the true compound of some of these d9 infused ‘hashes’. I’ll post the photos later in the week.
I had some a couple of weeks ago that the vendor I believe wasn’t actually aware of. I was able to get a refund and the listing was pulled by the vendor once they understood. I explained the same testing technique from the photos above.
Stupidly however, I second guessed myself, it was a really good looking fake. Maybe I was wrong.
I wasn’t.
A 45 minute synthetic (truest sickly and disgusting) high was followed by 6-7 hours intense headache right in between the eyes. Brain feels pea sized and rattling around my skull. Followed by sleep and then 4 or 5 more hours of headache the following morning with a been in mums pill cabinet feeling until bed again the following night.
From a single skin.
I remember when they used to spray fibre glass on weed in the 90s to add weight.
Sure.
But your customers won’t last long will they?
Fortunately that fad kinda died out although you do still hear new stories every now and again.
Hopefully these type of products will also die out, or find another outlet elsewhere, because surely eventually it will all just get backed to where it came from.
It’s an easy test vendors, take a chunk, burn it on a metal surface, brass gets the best reaction imo, but s.steel / ceramic works fine as you can see from the OP.
If it’s spitting out a residue a bit like a android in the alien films, BACK IT.
If it’s bubbling like a hot cauldron, (I appreciate some good quality hash bubbles, but not like a cauldron!) BACK IT
If it smells exactly like it’s product name. BACK IT
Even better do these tests before you fork out / tick it, and you won’t have to BACK IT / wait for customers to complain damaging you’re rep for a few extra quid.
And ‘charas’ isn’t the best way to pass this stuff off either. Cause mainly the people after charas know exactly what it should be like.
If you dont be careful about trying to pass something off as such, when you have no frame of reference other than simply ‘that’s what the guy told me’
Although we aren’t fully legal in the UK and testing labs aren’t exactly bountiful, as a vendor and even a customer there are still tests you can do for good (maybe more commercial) hash to actually grade it on strength.
It’s pretty simply.
Nick a set of yer missus hair straighteners (or of course buy a new one)
Get a roll of parchment paper.
And a Set of electronic scales to the .01.
Take a gram of the chosen decent hash.
Press it in between the strainers and the parchment paper.
Remove the debris and leave the roisin on the parchment.
Weigh your paper before and after pressing. This shows you the total of rosin pulled from the hash.
So for example your 1g nugget gives you 0.1-0.2 roisin.
This is fairly weak commercial hash with approx 10-20% active ingredient and 80-90% plant matter / mixer.
It’s basic for sure but you don’t need a lab, and if you stick to same equipment your readings should become a reliable comparison.
And so you will be able to tell for yourself dependent on the roisin return, exactly which hash is the better quality.
You have to know you’re dealing with good hash tho, as there are some reports of certain tree roisins being used as an adulterant in hash to circumnavigate this test, not in the uk yet however.


Buyer beware!!
Soap at still exists btw!
Just reworked a revamped for a new audience and generation.
A probably wearing a sticker that tells you a yummy name ;)

Yet another side not and possibly a query.
I was always told / experienced the better the quality of land race hash - the harder more brittle it will turn in the fridge.
Too many ‘good quality’ landrace hashes retain their squidgyness in the fridge these days, and just don’t get you as high as the used to / should do.
Anyone else find this?

Anyone else miss Hashishin? 😢

Peace

Oh yeah another good test if you found some hash of unusual colour…
Take a piece of it and stick it in some boiling water.
If it sits there and does very little - you’re in business!
If however, the dye, petrol, oil and other contaminates rise to the surface of the water, and leave a slick…
BACK IT!!!!

If not banned they should be listed for what they are as some folks like that kind of thing no idea why, personally i dont trust much that comes out the US always got to mess with stuff to make maximum cash its kind of what happened in the UK back in the 80`s when we went from cracking hash to the cheapest nastiest bar they could get,when big money gets involved it always goes to ratshit as they dont care about quality only profit,then you get the fakers making copies of the branding as well to deal with.
And then they want stupid prices for a weed i can grow in my cupboard probably better than they can just because its in a fancy packet.
Talk about big windows but yet the market seems to be there lol

99% of commercial hash is contaminated, its produced purely for money and maximum yield from the plant. id say my la mousse is the cleanest commercial and best priced on here. willing to put my money on that too.

good post SOTL, people need to stop. we have henna in hash and spice in weed. its fucked up.

I stopped buying 'commercial hash' when it became an utter mess of contamination and plastic and other bullshit in the early 2000s, and only really smoked hash again when my mate started getting stuff for me from here in January 2023. That was a revelation and was 'just' 2x filtered. Best and cleanest hash I'd ever had up until that point. Almost everything I've had off LB (and, this is with the disclaimer that I don't buy 'commercial hash' off here) has been utterly superb, some of a standard I'm amazed and glad that people have developed the products and skills to produce.

There's one exception though: last year, when there was a listing by a vendor I'd bought off many times, and had no issues with previously, there was a listing of 1g samples of a few different strains, so I ordered 2. They both looked practically identical, but smelled different. The only one I smoked a single joint of smelled of cherry. It was black, but not properly squidgy like it looked it should be. Didn't smoke right. Didn't get me vaguely high. Gave it to a mate who said he'd try it. He felt the same. Threw the other g away. No doubt that fits into this Venn Diagram somehow.

Caveat Emptor, always.

Was the sample from TGT? They did some USA hash last year and it wasn't right at all. Haven't used them again as it went in the bin. Used to get great hash from them when I was first on here.

Also got some Coachella hash from GC and that was worse. More like kinetic sand than hash. Zero effect too. It was totally messed up - yet lots of reviews 10/10.......

Yes it was. Haven't bought anything since, and I regularly bought samples which would translate into large sales if it was good.

From my perspective it seems like the quality and the service changed around that time, and the logo not long after.

I had the same stuff which also went in the bin, can't see me using them again.

That's what sucks about this place, people voting 10/10 just because something arrives. they rate before the even try it, or are just too uneducated to know that TGT were selling poison. I won't touch them again, had some brown shitty weed, and the edibles were definitely sprayed with something. Even the 1g samples ended up being woeful quality

Thanks for this post SOTL it's nice to see another vendor who samples his hash

Hemplady has just been outed for hers as well on Reddit. Who’d have thought 🥴

Well thanks for your great observation SOTL!
Thats why we were hesistant to add commercial hash plates. Because the majority of them are cut like described either with some sorts of binding agent like henna or other materials like synth terps/cannabinoids. But it gets worse, people want low prices but best quality (impossible unless you are based in morocco) they receive a cheap product. Imo those commercial plates are only ok to list for biggas working their numbers game up. And unless you do not know the producer of hq & cheap comm bars it`ll always be a "gamble".

LB stands for unmatched quality delivered, or at least should, hence why we were hesistant to add our commercial blonde pollen to our listings (almost gone btw;as clean as maroc gets). We also have some 100% clean LA Mousse listed. A really nice smoke, and nice effects. We usually prefer grades from Semi-Drysift and nowadays you even have to be careful with those higher end hashes aswell.

^et

The only thing you can really sell in all good faith is stuff made from crops by our hands.

Thanks for posting this, been looking at this wave of dodgy hash as there seems to be a lot of it about lately and me and another LBer think we had some, really glad to see other Bigs have noticed it too and as someone else has already said, I'm not sure the its just the commercials that are being messed with.
I'm hoping to have some suspicious stuff tested...

Stay alert Biggas

its along the entire spectrum - budget to premium (just less(likely)with premium) to get cut hash.

In Morocco iv heard they use the Fur tree 🌲 and Henna / oils all sorts to bulk out the hash > the cheaper hash’s on here / LB iv found terrible / Blond hash 🤮 is zero hash in it just made up of blond brick 🧱 dust compressed …not fit for human consumption ..I try a vendor once if there budget medium priced hash is Cra/ I never go back to that vendor ..that’s my thoughts …hope you get better Mate 🤘

Interesting post. Thanks for flagging it up. I've not had a bad hash from LB yet. Although I've got some in the post so hopefully not just jinxed it The last really bad one I had was 'back in the day' when buying hash turned into a lottery and everyone started smoking weed instead. I thought with the cheap commercial Moroccan hash producers nowadays that this sorta thing would be resigned to the past.

The test you used is interesting. I've not seen that before. Your Rasta Mafia is a decent grade commercial hash - I used it in my recent hash making challenge topic (linked) to see if I could beat it with home made hash for the same cost (I didn't).

received mine today :)

Messaged myself off my alt, works fine.

and a few others I can't recall off the top of my head, but this one is a known scammer, the one who was in Canada doing disputes for big orders is now doing it to the Netherlands.

Spoke to a couple vendors about this one. All the same story...

Buyer beware, people.

Good decision.
Thanks
