Sugar/glucose coated bud

[slickrick]

Hi, recently we have been getting sugar coated bud, it started off with it looking dark on the outside, then u split the bud and its light green on the inside. The recent bud has been gettin better/lighter green on the outside but still there are some signs of sugar on it. This is to make it weigh more but, how much do they gain from adding sugar, or spraying it with a sugar water solution then drying it out again? the recent henrys all look pretty decent so I am guessing the sugar only makes a difference when buying very large amounts. also it looks to me like they arent spraying all the bud now, just bits of it, again, contaminating the bud. at first i guess they got complaints as the henrys looked more like 3.1g than 3.5 and gradually they have been putting less and less on it. Does anyone know any more about this? Is it because of all the police raids and the growers want more money?

I say just get a new dealer.

[slickrick]

Easier said than done really, there are long waves of drought where i live at the moment, the bud is actually very good, just contians sugar lol

[Agressor1]

Yeah and burning sugar creates black smoke which is a sign for, you guessed it, toxic smoke!

mmm toxic smoke.

Have you ever thought of re-curing it with a water cure? The sugar would dissolve and you'd be left with unsugared bud (and I'd use the water to water my plants, cannabis or just plain house plants)! You wouldn't have to cure it for more than one day, rather than the 7 recommended for actual water curing.- Granny:hippy:

I remember a thread from a while ago where people said that adding sugar to weed makes the high a lot better. The dealers could be adding the sugar, not to add weight, but to make the weed seem more dank than it really is.

[slickrick]

hmmm interesting, i havent tried recuring it, as it is now it probably isnt worth isbut a few months back when it was totally sugar coated it might have been worth it then

[LIP]

I fail to see how sugar could make weed more potent. Are you actually SURE it's sugar?

And where abouts do you live? The main drought ended last year.

Still though, dont smoke sugar.

[FreeVenice]

I've never seen that but it's kinda funny. I mean since sugar usually burns black and would be a key factor in whats wrong with the herb. . .lol, I get buds name Sugar Shack every so often, but I don't think their the same strain as that. . .

[chill_out]

I had some off this a while ago and it's bad,i ended up soaking my grinder because this sugar coated green clogged it up that much

[Captain Hanks]

Sugar! Lol, how ghetto... I wouldn't ever refer to a sugar dealer hahahaha:rasta:

[Nochowderforyou]

Find a new dealer. Don't ask, just do it.

Take a glazed donut, and expose it with a lighter, flame to donut. Let it sit there for 20 seconds or so, and shortly, you will see a black cloud of smoke rise up. Now, just think if that small amount of glaze on that donut makes that much black smoke, do you really think it is a good idea to smoke it? Take some time to think about it. The answer isn't hard

[Eazy]

slickrich i had that near ipswich

about 2 months ago sum draughts are about but colchester n ipy its okay man now where are u ?

[slickrick]

im in the north west, green is available but people seem to be keeping hold of what theyve got, and u need to know the right people to get decent prices/deals. alot of people are jsut stayin with resin because they cant be arsed asking around to get green. the big drought has passed but there are still waves of drought that come and go. and as i say, people are trying anything to make the bud go further

[FreeVenice]

I don't ever think There has been a drought around here? or at least not that I remember, maybe in high school. . .

[rgbud]

my guy does that i think he does it for fun tho lol cause there always alot shit...ima let him no the deal with sugar

[RedLocks]

wow you UK guys got some damn problems with additives on herb

[akasaviour]

now i may be wrong but i bet if you look really closeley all that green is contaminated with somehting or other...

I used to think bud is bud until the grit weed happened, now i notice that grit has disapeared (yay) but sugar is everywhere or if not sugar then some sort of other grit which doesnt crackcle betwean your teeth but tastes nasty to smoke (I could even discribe it as getting a bit of deodarant in your mouth) it bruns funny as well making the cherry hard and if you take a little bud in your hands and burn it with a lighter it sizzles and sometimes even sort of pops...

i swear sometimes i would just love to fuck these dickheads up, i mean for fucks sake cant you just sell normal bud and be happy with what your getting, i am sure its bloody enough!!, but these greedy fucking idiot... fuck em...

i say grow your own...

i do not condone the smoking or taking of any illegal substances whatsoever. absolutely everything i say in this post and any other post is entirely for readers interest and interest only. smoking cannabis is ilegal and you should abide by your local laws and regulations. blah...

you're all idiots, a while ago there was a large amount of sugar coated cannabis in circulation, however not all of it was sugar. to the best of my knowledge tests were conducted on a variety of these 'coated' buds. tests showed a large variety of nasty substances on the marijuhana including, sugar, glucose... get ready, aggregate (used in building to make concrete blocks), industrial sand, (a heavy man made sand used to mix cement and lime) and finaly... asbestos (a material used on roofs and garage doors, now banned in many countries including the U.K. due to it's recently discovered high toxcicity level which causes a variety of life threatening illnesses). so yes yes, don't you all feel stupid now? i guess you're asking yourself why would the distributors of this cannabis do such a thing. well i can tell you that aswell. the first substance sugar. sugar will absorb moisture from the air, forever adding more and more weight to the bud untill it reaches it's saturation point. in ratio, a gram of sugar coated bud would weigh around 0.7, around a 35% increase in weight therfore a 35% raise in profit for the seller. glucose much the same reason. next substance aggregate. aggregate is an extremely dense material and very heavy, and to the untrained eye could look very similar to the crystals you see on cannabis buds. i would hazard a guess that the weight gain would be much the same as the sugar. next substance, industrial sand. much the same reason, but industrial sand is a much darker colour so they would use it on darker coloured weed to make it less noticable than sugar or aggregate witch is almost white. next substance asbestos, these are uncomfirmed reports but from many people, asbestos is highly carcenegenic (causes cancer) amoung other illnesses, the only reason i could think for doing this would be that the sellers have no knowledge of the harm that asbestos can really do to you. it has small hairs in that again to the untrained eye could be mistaken for the little hairs often found on cannabis.

now the dangers. sugar, when sugar is burned it vapourises. it then, when restored to a lower tempreture (by this time it will be in your lungs) crystalises on to your lungs. industrial sand and aggregate, dear god, they are full of nasty chemicals, billions of them, disigned to chemicaly react with water in the process of mixing cement or concrete (watch out bong smokers). finaly aggregate, it's been banned in many, many countries due to how highly toxic it is. thousands of people have been ordered to rip their roofs and/or insulation out and replace it with non asbestos materials due to the risk of the occupants of the house contracting a potentialy life threatening desease. if it's that dangerouse to have in your home then just imagine what smoking it is doing to you.

so freinds, what do we do about this? WISE THE FUCK UP!! a simple way of telling if your buds are contaminted with sugar is to lick it. if it's sweet it's contaminated. also, i realise that there is often damp bud that's not contaminated available for purchase but let's face it, it's usaly crap. so if you never buy damp buds then you don't run the risk of smoking contaminated weed. if it's dry and crispy it's almost a sure sign it has not been tampered with. also, watch/listen to the weed when it burns and look for anything unusual, also the smell of burning contaminated weed can be a dead give away. that's all folks.

finaly aggregate, it's been banned in many, many countries due to how highly toxic it is.

do not put your bud in water, when it's clipped from the plant and hung to dry it takes over 2 weeks... how long do you think it will take to dry after soaking it in water? also, ALL of the thc (the active chemical in cannabis that gets you high) will soak into the water. rendering the cannabis as about as usefull as an choclate firegaurd.

[Coelho]

I fail to see how sugar could make weed more potent. Are you actually SURE it's sugar?

The burning of sugar releases a lot of CO, CO2 and other gases which take the place of the oxygen in your lungs. So, when people smoke sugar coated weed, they seems to get higher due the oxygen deprivation caused by this gases. But its only a harmful effect, and NOT a true high.

The THC is NOT soluble in water, so soaking the weed in water wont make it lose its potency.

okay, you go ahead and soak your bud in in water, see how nice it is afterwards. it will taste like crap and will not get you high. it's already been clipped from the plant therefore already started it's process of decomposition, water will speed this up, rot the bud. it will ruin it. i can assure you

[stinkyattic]

We are NOT all idiots here, sublimerule, and coming on here with that aggressive stance, and bumping old posts just to insult the members, is not going to win you any friends. Furthermore, 'washing' cannabis products does not remove the THC, as those resins are not soluble in water. It may remove chlorophyll, sugars, and fertilizer salts, and sure you may be left with something flavorless, but I assure you water does not strip your bud of the resins. That's actually the way to clean cannabutter enough to cook with at temperatures high enough to scorch plant material, such as in the confectionery process.

Okay, well as i mentioned before. go soak your bud in water, smoke it, i'm sure you'll find it delightful. As for making friends, that's not what i came here to do, i started looking on the internet to try and find info on a new kind of contaminated weed i have come across. i wanted to find out if anyone had come across the same type, it wasn't sugar, aggregate, sand, fibreglass, asbestos or any of the other regulars. no i believe it to be silicone as the bud is sticky on the exterior (abnormally sticky) and all smell has been completely masked. then i stumbled upon this post. with comments like, 'i smoke sugar weed because it gets you more high'... and 'i've seen my dealer do that, he does it for fun' these are the complete retards that are entirely responsible for the continuation of the distribution of this contaminated death bud. they are so stupid they believe it will get them more high, or it's just a bit of fun, or it wont do any harm. they will influence others who know nothing about the drug into thinking it's the norm and it's okay to smoke. if people stopped buying this weed then people will stop selling it. these people need to be educated. if you know so little about these matters then you shouldn't be smoking cannabis at all. these wannabe smokers are creating a market for this crap and i'm fucking sick of it. so you can stick your non-soluble THC crap right up your completely ignorant ass, and continue leaving these uneducated idiots to smoke their poison, while i continue posting my knowledge of these matters to the people that matter such as the UKCIA who are actively trying to stop this epidemic in whatever ways they see possible. now cannabis.com can delete my account for being rude, you can have the last word (after all i'm sure that would please you). and you can all carry on as you were. happy smoking :)

[maxsuperdanks]

Yeah, if my weed contained anything but weed.


I'd do some mean shit.

[stinkyattic]

That disclaimer at the beginning of your each post is pretty funny.

Ignorant; I think not. I am, by profession, an analytical chemist. I work with organics. I use liquid-liquid extractions to prep my samples, and remove contaminants in the aqueous phase, without seeing any drop in response of my surrogate standard which remains in the nonpolar phase. So don't call me ignorant, and don't tell me what to do. Assumptions one makes about people online turn out to be WRONG a lot of the time. There are PhDs on the board.

If you had bothered to read around here before posting/flaming, you'd have noticed that the site staff work VERY hard to educate the members on safety. Any comments you see that you consider to be giving unsafe advice need to be REPORTED; that's the little red and white triangle to the upper RH corner of each post. We do NOT allow flaming.

As for silicone (which you have only just mentioned for the first time, by the way), you'd be able to tell if you got it on your fingers and found that it left a hydrophobic residue. No dealer would be stupid enough to use it as a coating. It would not feel 'sticky' so much as 'slimy'.

You are welcome to piss off if you can't participate without attacking other members, NOOB.

Your really smart so how do you think cannabis grows outdoors? When it rained you would lose all the cannabinoids off your plant. Get that stupid disclaimer out of here too.

[MadSativa]

The sugar thing threw me off, then the super dumber smart guy just, made me go HUH??? Its people like this that think Weed can be made into heroin.

[Barrelhse]

Smoking sugar coated bud is harmful to your lungs. I'd soak them in luke-warm water,swirling gently for a couple of minutes. If you are concerned about loss, simply pour the water thru a bubble bag or similar filter when you've finished soaking. The buds won't need a lot of time for the sugar to dissolve, just a minute or two, and should dry quickly.

[stothelutz]

Thx crystals or delicous confectionary?

[JaySin]

I've never seen any of this sugar weed or even heard of it. If you see it, simply don't buy it. Just cause other people are stupid enough to fall for it, doesn't mean you have to be.

Then if that's what the dealer has, it'll be an easy way to know that you shouldn't be going to him anymore. See, there are some benefits to it.

slickrick :)Hi there stranger long time no see xx

Oddly enough that was my final project (assigned by prof) in Ochem
Took my group 72 steps to turn THC into heroin (including 2 made up steps).
But... It can be done!!!

[stankystank19]

you loose THC with sugar its just like people saying microwave your bud after growing you dont makes it way less potent
