Heads up for you UK lads, and ladies. Seems there could be a new type of contamination going around?

OK...so here is the deal: - got a new supplier...the first 3 weeks its was back to normal smoke...but the last 2 bacthes i've got from him the smoke is doing some weird shit!

The ash on the joint is rock solid. when you try and roll the ash in the ashtray you end up snapping the cherry off....also it's always going out and doesnt burn well. the smoke does the job, but the taste isn't all that and it's not much fun smoking it...

Could anyone shed any light onto this as i told my supplier i wouldnt be going back to him again whilst he has this crap.

Thanks everyone!!

A New Type of Contamination?

Just to warn as many folks as I can.

Got some weed yesterday with no grit and no sugary sweetness (in other words, no signs of contamination). I started smoking it and instantly felt a dull ache in my chest. It then started to really hurt. Then I noticed that I was having to break the ash off instead of it flaking off like normal ash.

Knowing something was wrong, I did a quick test. I had some left over weed that I knew was not contaminated and tested it back to back with the new stuff. I got a piece of cardboard and wiped the ash from both spliffs (contaminated and clean) on it. The clean ash came off the card just by blowing it but the contaminated ash looked more like soot. Then I put a bit of each on my finger, the clean ash just wiped off on my clothes but I actually had to wash my hands to remove the contaminated ash. The dirty ash felt very oily to the touch unlike the clean ash which was powder like ash should be. The strange thing is that the weed itself is not oily, looks like really nice bud.

Its now the next day and my chest is killing me, it hurts to breath, cough etc. Ive smoked grit weed before out of desperation (never again) but it did not give me any chest pain. Im starting to worry whatever this is may be more harmful than the grit or sugar stuff.

The alarming thing here is that there were none of the usual physical signs of contamination. No grit, no sugary taste. The only signs were the chest pains and the strange behavior of the ash. Obviously, Im not smoking this shit anymore and have got some more clean weed but, with no signs of contamination, it would be very easy to make the mistake of buying this crap again.

So any ideas of what this could be? Like I say its not the usual sand/glass beads or sugared weed. It looks to me like the bastards leading the contamination have found something that is undetectable untill your smoking it. At least with the grit stuff you could tell before you bought it and decline.

Why are they keep contaminating english weed,making us look like right mugs

[weedmaster]

because mugs keep buying the contaminated weed, if no one bought that shit in the first place we wouldn't be in this situation.UK SMOKERS REFUSE TO BUY CONTAMINATED SHIT.if you buy some contaminated take it back to your dealer and call him a c**t, i would go without rather than smoke that shit.

[snowblind]

thats sounds like something plastic based. like the way it melts and leaves oil. thats so wrong man my heart goes out to you. this really pisses me off because this is a direct result of uk operations to iradicate cannabis in the uk. when will they realise that its not going to happen. prohibition has never worked. the lessons should have been learnt with alcohol. there are far too many people in the uk that want to smoke and enjoy smoking and further more live decent lives and contribute to society. i know im preaching to the converted but this shit really fucking pisses me off.
i would rather walk through a town full of stoners at well i would say 11 pm but with drink hours now anytime from 10 - 4 in the morning than have to deal with one cocky pisshead twat, his scumbag girlfriend and his twaty mates. i wouldn't even bother me if he was on his own cus i'dlay him out flat, just small time predetors always roam in packs.
bit of a rant but last nite really pissed me off.
back to the dope, dont buy from the same person. i did have a half hearted thought about shopping the shit dealers to the cops, that way it would work its way up to the suppliers, but i think that goes against my ethos and its likely the main growers dont contaminate it themselves.
also it made me think, the contaminated weed is most likely with the lesser brained user of dope, likely to make them think about harder things. which have all had there shortages and are now just in steady avaliability. if all you can get is contaminted weed or speed/coke/pills which are likely to be cut, but due to them most likely always having been the effects are negliable.
damn damn damn damn damn.
fuck the police, we needa take the power back

rant over

I haven't seen any of that stuff round this way, but we have had more than enough grit over the last year to re surface the M25!

[Jah420]

what a fucking mess

[Nation_1ne]

Just out of curiosity who believes that this is actually something to do with your Government? Or do you think it has a lot to do with gangs?

I'd rather believe it was gangs, however I understand that in England the Government are reclassifying the drug. Bit of a coincidence? Also what would gangs have to gain through this method. It's not like grit, where it's supposed to imitate like real good weed.

[NuDimensionz]

It's all about the money, dont buy, it pass the word and they cant keep selling it :thumbsup:

Peace

[CheeseOnToast]

Its consumer ignorance. If people pay for this stuff ofcourse they are going to produce more. If people knew what they were looking for in the first place then barely anyone would buy this kind of crap.

Obviously with this stuff its sold as buyer beware, as most of the time you aint getting a refund, lmao.

If someone gave me this stuff, and i didnt notice until i smoked it, i would put them on my " list of dealers to call when i cant get any decent stuff ". id also take a picture of it to remind me what this crap looks like later on.

We should start a threat in the UK forum, "What NOT to buy". And post pictures.

[meloncoly]

everybody should do mail order from canada, good prices too!

[snowblind]

as your from japan i will let you off. basically our government and media give outmixed messags full of properganda and misinformation. the most recent being the epedemic of skunk making kids schitozophrenic. our government reclassified the drug down to a c then through various operations bust over 300 different grows early last year. this lead to the to grit weed situation. by adding stuff to the weed to make it look stronger and weigh more unscropious dealers could charge more and make more cash. this is a direct result of the governments actions.

it is a hipocricy to reclassify a drug then go after all the sources. this has lead to it being mass produced alot more by said gangs, who obluvously don't grow for the love of jah but for the $$. the latest contamination is likely to be to increase weight without buyers being aware. this menaing that they can get more money for less effort. cannabis is hardly the most lucrative drug to produce so the more they can ebb out the more money they can get.

all this is a diret result of the governments actions and mismanagement of a situation that is getting more and more out of their hands and is being purpertuated by the media.

it is made all the worse by politicaians who admit to smokin in college but saying it needs to be outlawed now because of this extremely high potent 'skunk' that is hitting the streets. the goverenment gives out mixed signals. why should they be allowed to try it and then tell us we can't. it you discount the compulsive lying, greed and willing to trample the nation of britain, it never did them any harm. but then thats probably why they stopped smoking.

its a real fucking mess

im all for the dealers not to buy from thread. id even think about shoppin em

[angry nomad]

I think the government is contaminating the weed, then they can say. "Look how bad it is!" I have no facts, but this is a type of trick governments have played on the populace for centuries. It's called "Conquer and Divide."

Sorry to hear about that, man.

[denots]

On virgin.net homepage theres a news article stating that cannabis killed a girl after 1 Spliff!!!,she was 22 yrs old and had a spliff,got depression and i think commited suicide.

This place is going mental ffs.
