Schwag

[thatman]

I have been smoking for two years or so ( not daily). But I usually pickup for my friends and I. I have honestly never even see this "brown" weed , like never even when I got ripped off by shady characters. I havn't even seen a seed before.

Im really curious has anyone in Canada ever seen any of this brick weed?

What does it smoke like ... I dont understand , is the high diff or you just need to smoke alot.

If anyone has any pictures I would like to see them

[Matt the Funk]

You are from canada...their is no brickweed there. No brick weed in cali either.

[thatman]

I know but I haven't even seen a seed , before I found out about weed forums. I would always wonder in songs...what do they mean seeds n stems.

Sure we get stems once in a while , but seeds :-|and I have bought from everyone big drug dealers , small time highschool guys and randoms

[Matt the Funk]

Me too. Only one seed once for some weed that didn't get me high. It was free though so can't complain I guess. Got my friend high. I use to wonder too lol.

Whats the diff between mids & shwagg?

[Matt the Funk]

I have no idea lol. No one sells mids or shwagg. But as far as I can tell from the boards mids can be good.

[GotWake88]

Why do people import cannabis anyway? Firstly, it's probably more convenient to cultivate it yourself. Secondly, you would have guarenteed quality.

I never smoke anything but nug. Mids if somebody passes it to me, but I don't think it's worth the buy. It's really not the smoking a lot to get effects, I just love the taste of nugget. If I could get good tasting nug with less thc, but more fore the same price, I prolly would. Cause it would still taste good, and frankly I like smoking more. It's a ritual.

Hey Matt, Im from socal (ventura to be exact), and Ive seen (not smoked) some pretty nasty brickweed.

Really? Weird. I've even tried finding it but can't. I don't think too many sell it because most people in cali, as I assume canada is like, only smoke relatively dank weed. I live pretty close to ventura too. Which club do you go to? nvm, don't want to jack the thread.

[Nochowderforyou]

There's no brickweed in Canada, but there is shagg, at least I had it before.

My buddy used to work in the pipeline way up North in Alberta, Canada. The only weed he could get out there was this rock hard bud, loaded with seeds. He brought back an ounce with him, told me to roll one up, and there wwere pieces of corn husks in with the stuff. I guess this shit was grown in a cornfield. It was by far the worst stuff I had ever smoked.

You opened up a bud, and seeds would pour out. I had to use like 4 grams to roll up a cigg. sized joint, and after 2 more of them, I was ready to puke. I even said "I was good." I never say that!

So it is around. It's rare, but that scary, horrible stuff is out there.

[thcbongman]

I remember when I started smoking back in 1997, all you can get was schwag, if you got KB, you were considered a god. Anyway, I got a QP of what was literally sheets of a brick, like it was pounded together. When it broke up, the sheet separated. It was the nastiest shit, but that's what I smoked in the early years. It got you high, even if you had to smoke a load and tasted nasty.

[JaggedEdge]

Whats the diff between mids & shwagg?

A lot of it has to do with what region you live in. I'm in South Louisiana and we consider anything lower than KB to be swagg. Most of the time when you buy shwagg down here it is more than likely mids.

I think in most areas though, the brown nasty ass weed would be considered swagg. While the dry green compressed buds with a lot of seeds and a decent high would be mids.

Personally I have never seen the brown stuff from mexico, all my swagg (prob mids) come from growers who don't care or don't know what they are doing.

[friendowl]

its ok

Yeah, where I am anything that has any seeds is considered schwag, even if its green and gives an okay high. We have stuff that is so much better, and it is in good supply, so anything lower then the best is sold as schwag, even though its probably just mids.

[vileoxidation]

its ok

Eww....it looks so gross. I'm sure it does the job, but it just looks so nasty.

[BUZz UK]

sometimes in britain we get what's known as 'african' short for 'african bush weed'. It's fucking compressed brown dry shit, takes a lot to get you stoned and smells like shit when it burns.

Once on the way to a rave, a girl that we we driving with started saying something was burning and getting us to check for something burning, like the seat, or some electric shit, until we realised it was the fucking bush weed smell from the joint we'd just lit.

it's dirt cheap tho...

[someuser]

I live close to Mexico and schwag is easy to come by here... The main advantage is it is dirt cheap (an O run $40 - $50 bucks) and it does get you high... I would say good brick weed can get you close to as high as mids can but doesnt taste near good...

Personally, if you can afford to pay $10 - $25 (USD) bucks a gram and smoke as much as you like then go for the sensimilla stuff... Otherwise, getting good cheap schwag ensures you can get high daily w/o breaking the bank and lets you save the 'good' stuff for the weekends or whenever. That's what I do anyhow.

[friendowl]

i did an experiment and smoked my partner out
with some good medical bud and he took two bong hits and
was cool.he got tired and stayed quiet.ended up falling asleep on
the couch while watching sin city

the next day after work he came by again
i told him i was out of medical but had soem "stress"
he was like fuck it and i packed him a bowl

he could barely finish the two bowls and after he got high
he was laughing and started organizing his car and ended up
totally detailing his ride.he said he felt so high and clearheaded

i agree that good bud is special but i dont talk bad about the cheap brickweed
cause everynow and then you get soem descent stuff for good prices

the outcome is the same .you end up being high
the only differnce is the taste

[smokinballer]

Fuck schwag!

That is all I could find here in Orlando and supposedly all my dealer could get. Tasted nasty, buzz wore off quickly and when smoked outta a bowl it produced nasty liquid resin that got all over my lips. It was never brown though, always green.

Long story short: I decided I'd rather not smoke than smoke that brick crap. Call me a weed snob, but I'm 5 weeks sober today. :(

exaclty.... some schwag is nasty...but other schwag is regular good weed thats been compressed so it can be shipped easier

gets you high, so why complain. in my town schwag is 4x cheaper, and it look s somewhat like that picture friendowl put up there.

[someuser]

Again, just to repeat myself, GOOD schwag can get you nearly as high as decent mids. The trick is getting GOOD schwag. It's out there and it isnt too hard to find but you do go to look and be picky and not just pick up the first thing someone hands to you... That's why I always have atleast 1/2 a O on me at all times so that I dont have to be a fiend when I am looking to buy.

But I dont know about you guys and how often you smoke but smoking 2+ good sized bowls of 'dro' a day can get really expensive unless you live with your mommy, dont have any kind of 'real' bills to pay, and dont have any other hobbies you like to do LoL

LOL you amuse me. I can afford to smoke on average 6 bowls of good chronic (go look at my picture posts if you don't believe me), and I don't live with my parents, I pay my own bills, and I have many other hobbies. I mean hell, I'm in college. But I do this crazy thing called working! I make good enough money through my work to pay my bills and my rent, buy my weed, and still have money to go out with or to spend needlessly (on a hobby or just something stupid) with.

[memoryburner]

You are from canada...their is no brickweed there. No brick weed in cali either.

Yep. Out here in cali...what we consider bammer, would be considered mids anywhere else.

You're in college? So you go to school full-time PLUS pay for an off-campus apartment/house, pay all the bills that go along with it, have money for a car payment, insurance, and gas, plus you have the money left over to pay for all your 'hobbies', dates, ect?

Well man, that's great for you :)

Party on dude. If you're not selling on the side, getting help from mommy/daddy in some financial regard, nor taking out gigantic student loans, then you certainly do not consist of the average kid or college kid who smokes.

Back when I was in college I barely had enough money (with a job) to afford to have fun with my gf every weekend after the bills were paid let alone smoke half a dozen bowls of chronic each and every day... And I made more money then most of my friends at the time.

[notransfer]

the only differnce is the taste

i was going to say somethin about the taste

[Reefer Rogue]

Schwag is good for baking, that's about it imo. I've never bought it, doubt i ever will. Mids is the lowest i'll go, they're alrite. I can't even get mids in London tho, only the best of the best =]

[RaoulDuke45]

once in a blue moon ill get some scwagg, then we roll gaint blunts

I work for a family run webdesign company. We do all the webdesign for a group of independent magazines. Yes, I said it was family run, but that doesn't mean that I am getting paid better because of it. The only reason its family run is because my grandmother has three degrees in computer science and programming, and she knows her HTML well too, so why work for another company when I could work for my grandma? I still only get paid eight dollars an hour, but I can work whenever and wherever I want.

I live in an apartment that is owned by my school. The rates are extremely extremely cheap for an enrolled student, so that helps. I don't use much heat or water or electricity or anything, because I live alone. Those bills are usually, combined, under 150 a month.

My insurance is the worst part of what I have to pay every month, because I am still under 25 or whatever the age is. However, I have the safe driver's benefit and the good student deduction from AllState, so that helps a lot with that too. Gas isn't too bad, because I live in a small town, and the only time I really have to drive very far is to go pick up.

I don't have to pay for dates, because I have a boyfriend. And no, not that he pays for everything, but we live in different states while I am at college so we don't really get to go out on dates.

Other then that, I don't drink, so I don't spend much money there, I am not a big shopper like some girls for purses or anything, so I don't spend any there and I hardly ever eat out except on weekends because of how expensive it is.

I was taught to live below my means. I don't spend gregariously or needlessly, except for my bud. I use the money I save by being responsible with my money and my life in general to buy my bud. It all works out.

[Diary of a Madman]

Florida usually feels the wrath of Texas and Mexico. The brown schwagg sucks, but if you can get a brick of the green sticky commercial, than you will be fine.
At UF and FSU, I knew all these weed snobs who would only buy the goods, and will refuse to smoke your shit if it doesnt smell like blueberry turpentine wacky weed, but I will take a $65 ounce of the sticky green any day to your $400 ounce of dank. I will smoke either one in about a week. People dont realize that you can find good regs too, and that you probably just arent finding the right shit.

Mids doesnt really exist here. Mids = my green schwag. You only pay one price or the other.

[missybit]

i'm not fond of the brown brick dirt weed, but i've surely smoked my share of it. i don't have any sort of regular hookup, so i take what i can get, but it's HARSH. and DRY. i'm happy when i can find schwagg that's fresh and hasn't been compressed.

i'm thinking of getting a prescription card so i can get better shit (i easily legitimately qualify), but that's neither here nor there.

Are you trying to prove something? :confused:

I mean, good for you but not everyone has all that going for them princess ;)

That's just not true.

[vileoxidation]

I hardly see how any of that classifies me as a princess. I work full-time to pay all of my bills, I just have a job that is convenient for a college-student. That doesn't make me a "princess," it makes me smart for going to an option that won't infringe on my schedule.

And all I was saying was that its simply not true that the average person cannot smoke chronic many times a day regularly, like Nochowder said up there ^. People who are resourceful and work hard and seek out the most economic option in most things can make it work easily.

Anyway, no, I am not trying to prove something besides that your statement was entirely incorrect, so I will end this here. :)

[Captain Hanks]

Whats the diff between mids & shwagg?

Hemp: 0%-2% thc (no such thing as 0%, lol)
Schwag: 3%-9%
Midds: 10%-15%
Chronic/Dank, whatever: 16%-27% (27% was the highest thc percentage recorded, a nevilles haze plant it was...)

[ATrain]

I've only smoked really shitty weed when I was on vacation in Mexico :jointsmile: Everything I get here is always good stuff:rastasmoke:

[someuser]

Well you failed miserably. The bottom line is smoking 6 bowls of chronic daily (assuming each bowl is a conservative .25g) comes out to $675 dollars a month (assuming you're getting chronic at a fair price of $15g.).

Now only in the mind of a child who has yet to experience the REAL world can you possibly think a $675 monthly expense is doable by the average HS/College kid without any kind of 'help' (or selling on the side).

You yourself are getting a HUGE break on your rent/bills + you have a flexible job via your parents. Not to mention I'm just a little fuzzy how $8 bucks an hour PART-TIME not only pays your pot expenses but also your rent/bills + food, clothing, cell phone, and various living expenses ALL without any help from anyone.... Cause at part time (39hrs) you are only making $1248 minus federal tax and SS (which would make your monthly check at or under a $1000 at best).... So you're weed expenses are already more then 50% of your spendable income which princess, isnt something a responsible adult can afford to do in the real world at that income level.

Now if you truly wanted to prove my statement entirely incorrect you would need to show how the average HS/College kid can afford a $675+ monthly expense while living a normal independent live (IE paying regular rent, bills, groceries, cell phone bills, clothes, ect) complete with hobbies and going out without ANY help from parents (or a bf).

I'm sure there are some who can do that but most cannot and that is what my post was all about.

[206 DankySpanky]

ive never smoked schwagg
from what i hear i never want to either lol

I'm sure there are some who can do that but most cannot and that is what my post was all about.

LOL well first of all, you grossly overestimate the cost of smoking. I go through a little more then a quad a week, normally at $90 a quad. That's a little more than a gram a day, and I smoke between normally either five or six times a day, so that is an average bowl size of .2-.23ish. So my weed expenses are not nearly what you claim them to be. They are, at max, $450 a month, and usually just $400.

Secondly, yes, I do have nice benefits in my rent and bills situation. However, I have earned them. I am on academic scholarship to my school, with a small stipend for books and housing and miscellaneous school stuff, so that is another reason that my rent is not bad. I did the work in high school because I wanted to have my school pay for mostly everything.

I admit that I am lucky to have a job that has flexible hours. This is the one issue that I will agree is a lucky break. However, its not as though our company doesn't hire anyone who isn't family, and there are many other companies throughout our business, and in many other fields, that allow a flexible working schedule.

If you are dedicated to finding a job that you can work that most hours at so that you can keep the habits you want, its not that hard. I mean, even some kids who went to my high school with no skills and just slightly more intelligence were able to get jobs at their school's (our main state school, where almost everyone went, which is the only reason I know) student center during weird-ass hours. You just have to be resourceful.

But hey, your not the first person to just spout the word princess at me without really knowing what you're talking about. So, now, I will finally actually leave this alone and end this needless hijack, and accept the title of princess if you wish to keep pursuing it.
