Any vendors with a good blue cheese on here haven’t been lucky enough to find the strain, any help appreciated ☮️

Highly Recommended Vendor

I've had so many people recommend the weed and service of Druids Magic that it is unreal. It's like the vendors really are druids and actually cast a magic spell on their buds prior to posting them which hypnotises people into commenting 'Druids Magic' everywhere that bud or vendor recommendations are discussed. It's also possible I don't know a huge amount about druids, magic or hypnosis. Either way It felt important to me that I investigate this hot topic and test it out for myself because while I may not know much about druidism, what I do know a fair bit about is smoking weed.

Will I come out of the experience zombiefied and only able to slowly mutter the words "Druids Magic" as an answer to every question? Let's find out.

Who Are Druids Magic?

As far as I know DM are a home grower and small vendor on LB. They have limited stock and limited options as they sell off their own grows. As such, any time I'd looked at their menu they appeared to be sold out or to be in between grows.

I Swiped Right:

This time I dropped them a message and true to reputation they were super keen to help me out with a couple of strains they had via a custom order. This is the way forward here.

The communication level was off the charts even before I ordered. After I pressed go, every state of the order was documented to me via message. There are surgeons who operate in less detail than this.

That's all very reassuring but I'm now at the waiting stage which is the worst bit of LB. Where's my weed?

Waiting:

"He waits. That's what he does. And I'll tell you what. Tick followed tock followed tick followed tock followed tick...... "

But what didn't follow was my weed. Not yet.

I'd hoped for RM efficiency but I also hope for world peace. I'm basically a dreamer. There is always tomorrow.

Day 1:

It's so far only been one working day so please don't read my impatience as a delay. I'm excitable and just really want to try this stuff out. I believe if there is one single thing that everyone on LB can relate to it's waiting for a weed delivery.

The postal folks do not understand the significance of what is happening here or the utter importance they are tasked with. Oh - hang on - that's actually the aim isn't it!

The Red Van:

Postman Pot has been. Dreams have been delivered. I ordered on Saturday and my parcel was delivered on Tuesday. That's a good service. Let's see what it is all about.

Stealth:

Stealth is thoughtful enough without me deep diving the details. It ticks my boxes and the buds arrived in good condition without leaving a bisto trail of stench in their wake.

Big Bags:

I ordered 7g and Druids sent me about 9g in total across two strains. One half is the Candy Kush and the other is the Coco Jambo. I've no idea if this extra weight is typical but it is of course appreciated.

Tis a Stinker:

First impressions upon opening the bag of cosmic - bloody hell that's a smell from somewhere deep in my memories. I had to take several sniffs. It's a pungent sweet old skunky aroma that instantly makes me think of my early 1990s trips to Amsterdam. This was back in the days where Dam weed was so far superior to UK stuff that it may as well have been a different drug. That's the smell here - of something long lost but welcome to return. It reminds me a bit of the original old bubblegum in Dam too.

The Grow:

I don't know enough about grows to adequately understand the production here but basically this stuff isn't the commercially produced furry pebbles. These are large natural looking buds that are looser than is typical from a modern commercial grow.

The buds are a little sticky and will benefit from being in a jar to even out. That might just be from travel as some buds don't seem to love being sealed up in the postal process. It's perhaps part of the reason for the tendancy to produce furry pebbles commercially as they do travel well.

The cosmic grinds fine though and it's not like you've just poured glue into your grinder. The bud is not wet but it just wants some love and care to hit perfection. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Much delightful smell was released in the grinding process.

Cosmic Kush Family:

Cosmic Kush is a mix of Trainwreck (constructed of some very old genetics) and Kush which is still of course a mainstay of many vendors menus.

Smoking it I feel I'm getting more of the Trainwreck than the Kush and it's that end of the scale my nose instantly seemed to recognise when opening the bag too.

Although arguably much of the power probably has come from the kush I've no idea how to quantify that. Not least as I'm blazing a smoke while writing this.

It's a lovely smoke though, that much I can verify for sure. Smooth, clean, with a floral sweetness. It has an initial hit and a follow up stone with some smells and tastes that are deep rooted into my own cannabis history being enjoyed by my senses in the process.

You People Make Me Do This:

I suppose I'm going to have to test the Coco now too. You LB folk have twisted my arm. Basically forced me into it. I've already had a few of the Cosmic and I'm nicely stoned. Very clean buzz and a lovely smoke. But there's no point only having half an adventure. Let's see if the Coco stands up.

Coco Jambo:

The smell of the Coco Jambo is familiar too. It's cherry-like and teasing my favoured orange smell. It's all in there but it's more complexly mulled together. The smell is less prominent than the Cosmic but still definitely familiar. I had to Google the strain and it looks like it's Tropical Burst x Coconut Milk. So I guess I'm picking up on the tropical genetics which has orange cookies in its lineage. The coconut milk side feels like it contributes less but is probably subtly balancing the flavour which is why I felt it was mulled.

Pepsi Challenge:

Of the two weeds, going by the name, then going by the smell, I'd have bet on the Cosmic Kush being my favoured strain. I'm not sure that's true at all though smoking them.

While the Cosmic is the more lairy and definitely has some wonderful old flavours in there, the Coco Jumbo seems more refined. It seems to give me more of a head high but not in a hazy paranoid ansy horrible way and it eases into a nice stone. It is another really nice smoke. I think I'll have another one of these and ramble my way to the end of this topic.

So What's The Verdict on Druids Magic:

Yes folks. I get it. Thanks for the recommendation. The whole experience has been lovely. The smokes I've had this evening have been very much enjoyed and definitely different from a typical commercial grow from a high volume seller. This weed feels very well cared for and thoughtfully produced. It's powerful in both strength and flavour.

I guess comparing the service of Druids Magic to a high volume vendor is like putting your local Aunties cafe in a cage fight against a branch of Subway. Yes, Auntie knows your name and does a fine cheese and pickle sarnie and Victoria sponge cake but often you crave the mindboggling choices and size of a Subway footlong followed by more cookies than any human should consume in one session.

Would I Recommend Druids Magic?

The simple answer is yes I would. Drop them a message, try out some strains, the entire experience will be lovely from the first message to the first smoke - if your experience is anything like mine.

You'll end up with some lovely stinky weed that gets you completely stoned. If that's not an ideal transaction on LB I don't know what is.

Have The Druids Cast a Spell On Me?

I have had nothing but a lovely experience with the druids and their weed is a lovely natural product made with care. But....

I'm sure we all know my love for Green Cat remains borderline creepy. I really like caressing my way through the many strains on their menu and making the hard choices and doing research is part of the experience I enjoy. While I do return to old favourites I tend to explore new flavours every week.

I'll Be Back Though:

I will however be visiting Druids Magic as they get their new grows done and seeing what's what. This is especially true if they put an orange strain up. Now that could be a very interesting proposition from this grower. Something like the Orangina or a Tangie. So I've been glad of the introduction and thanks to the really impressively large number of people who recommended the Druids to me. I can see why you are super fans.

Thanks For Reading:

As always I hope this topic was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way. Thanks for reading. Please get involved in the comments and if you like reading this stuff please upvote it to help share it with the community. I'll see you in the next topic.

Okay. Before we start it's probably worth noting that I rarely order from new vendors and I've not tested any of these out. I have dabbled with new vendors in the past with mixed success rates. Some were great, some definitely weren't and many of them now don't exist on LB. Generally I order from the same reliable vendors unless I'm specifically looking for something special or something exclusive happens to catch my eye.

I guess it's also worth noting that even some usually reliable and long established vendors have either hiccups or just fall to pieces over time. So age isn't always a complete guarantee of success and happiness either.

Newbie vendors often make their mark by offering us some interesting products and wonderful bargains to tempt us away from our mainstay vendors. Some of these newbies will of course be the big vendors of the future while some will possibly not get the hang of LB.

So please remember we're all grown-up here (hard as it is to believe) and make your own choices. I admire the people who routinely roll the dice on a new vendor. Your payment is protected via escrow of course but, for me, you have to kiss too many frogs to find the prince. If you do like kissing frogs though here's some stuff that might be princely.

The Wizard of Oz.

Only a month or so in and already flying. I have noted a few interesting bits passing through here and they seem very engaged with the community.

Amongst the loveliness would be this new batch of Blue Nerds. This strain is beautiful when done correctly. A mixed blue / silver flavour that's just divine. And this looks likely to be done to perfection. I've not tried it though. It's a pricey bit but will it be princely - see what you think.

They also have an RS 11 that looks spot on in the photos. This is one of my favourite strains as well. It's got a wild mix of sweet flavours when done right.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/cQhysC

A lot of the bud here looks great on the photos and reviews well. I'll have to dive in at some point. They certainly have some tempting options and fantastic looking buds.

Dapper Dank

There are some interesting products on the menu but the one that's super tempting to me personally is the White Widow x Skunk #1. I definitely wonder what old school flavours may lurk in there. Very tempting to find out I must admit. These are two very familiar strains to me from the early Dam days. I can almost smell the coffee shops just from thinking about ordering it.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/zjU0gT

They've made an enthusiastic start on LB so I hope it all goes well.

Zaza

Another colourful addition to LB. I noticed they had the L.A. Mousse hash.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/XiAYsv

It's a sort of fancy packaged American version of the familiar Moroccan hash we all know. This has my curiosity as to whether it'll be better or just the same and the price seems very fair to try. While I mostly smoke buds I do like to try various hash out. They have a few nice looking products on the menu.

That's All Folks:

Anyway, that's my quick roundup of some of the newbies that tempt me to be disloyal to GC. It's of course up to you where you order from. Basically don't blame me if it all goes wrong. Currently the vendors listed have a short trail of positivity behind them but as we all know that can change fast. For the bold adventurer there's some interesting bits out there to try.

If I've missed any new vendors off this list it's not personal. These are simply vendors I've come across while looking for bits and bobs. Please feel free to add yourself in the comments so I know you exist.

Thanks

As always thanks for reading my topic. I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining at least. I'll see you in the next topic.

so for longer than i can remember struggled with a host of issues including but not limited to childhood trauma,depression adhd. recently spoke to someone re: microdosing
ive done many things but fungi isnt one of them,

im interested in making my own so i can be in control of my medication a bit more and if gets off some prescription nastys in due course then bonus

couple qs
firstly does species/strain matter are some better for purpose of microdosing than others?

secondly if using the "stamets stack"
Psilocybin Mushroom Powder = 100mg – 200mg
Lion’s Mane = 50 – 100 mg
Niacin = 100 – 200 mg

does it strictly have to be lions mane or could you use for example a 7 mushroom blend ?

any pointers/guidance would be amazing
with thanks
nelly

Hey everyone

Was looking for a bit of advice. About 8 months ago I received a free polkadot bar with an order. Having never done Psychedelics before I was a little wary so only picked away at pieces but whether placebo or not, I did feel 'enhanced' even on a low dosage.

This year I've embarked on a spiritual journey and would quite like to dip my toe in s little deeper this time and try a mild trip dose. Although i do take mirtazapine(snri) so im not sure what to expect, if anything from what I read?

With that in mind is there a specific strain of mushroom that would be a good starting point for me? I was looking at buying some chocolates to mask thr taste but i wasn't sure if the strain may be too strong for a beginner?

Any advice would be appreciated
