When ever i smoke schwag or mids i get muscle spasms in my feet or a part of my leg. This doesn't happen when i smoke that dank i buy, but when people bring that shit to the circle and i smoke it i get this. Anyone else get this?

sounds as if there were pesticides used for growing some of that crap... and smoking that stuff will do a number on your nervous system, which probably explains your muscle spasms. thankfully, I've never experienced that. I only rarely get headaches from random strains, be it schwag or kind.

I really really REALLY hope they don't spray that stuff around the plants down in whatever place they grow the schwag...

I only will use shwag if I'm vaporizing or cooking. My highs are generally meditative yet clear at the same time. This is from mexican shwag which is probably mostly sativa.

Vaping and cooking is pretty much all I do anyway.. mostly because I don't have a whole lot of glass ware. Which I guess is good. Helps keep my lungs and heart healthy. :thumbsup:

I like schwag very much for cooking because, like daihashi, it's got that sativa high that seems to stand up well to processing at high temperatures (mmm caramels) without ending up with nothing but couchlock. Plus it's quite reasonably priced.

As with all things, I've run across many grades of brick. Some, the higher-quality 'green brick', is actually not unpleasant at all, and for someone like me who has a whole stable full of pure indicas, it's a really nice break from the norm to get a strong, clear high. My tolerance is definitely of indi-doms, and sats just send me to da MOOOOOON lol!

As long as it still retains a fairly pure scent to it, and has been apparently treated well (besides being sat on my an elephant or stuffed into a trash compactor), I consider it just one more bit of variety in the world. And that's not always a bad thing ;)

I agree wih this, I have been getting some really nice light green mids lately that i have been prefering over the couchlock goodstuff i have.

That's the thing that cracks me up- people are calling it 'mids' and I assume they mean Canadian compressed commercial, not brick; then I see it and it's a block of freakin' masonry, lol... that smells really shockingly good!!! In fact, that light green mostly seedless brick is far superior to Beasters in every way but appearance. And costs much less. Kinda like that old VW Golf at the used car lot sitting next to the 2005 Taurus with the leather package. BUY THE GOLF!!! :D

Go VW & Audi!!!!!

on an on topic note, lol, In my area we've always used mids to describe genetics that didn't reach their potential.. thus selling for less OR proven genetics that are just not as strong as some of the classics.. like WW, NL, blueberry etc etc..

Anything that's brick generally is considered shwag and is sold as such. Even if it's light green and seedless... still sells for the same price as the dark brown elephant compacted mexican brick weed shwag.

It's rare I come across the pretty stuff though in 'shwag' form. :rastasmoke:

i never smoke schwaag or beasters but i have found that i like schwaag better. it gets me higher and is 10x cheaper. if you buy beasters you are just lighting your money on fire imo.

If you're getting muscle spasms, it might be a good idea to bring that up next time you see your doc. Personally, I'd avoid smoking types of herb, or doing anything really, that gave me any type of unexplained/undesirable side effects. Kinda like the warnings on prescriptions that we are supposed to read before use...

Sorry, but I'm not down with the Bobby Brown.

I don't touch schwag, period.


Where I am there's no such thing as green brick, no such thing as seedless schwag. It's all brown, it's all bad.


The dank is some serious chronic though.

We pretty much take what we can get around here. Usually decent compressed buds from Canada. This time of year however things start to get rough. Then comes fall, and all is well in GanjaLand.

So I guess what I am trying to say is if all I can get is schwag, I am using schwag.

I have never had any kind of ill effect (muscle spasms etc) from any kind of cannabis.

Ya see, I live down south near the mexican border so I'm used to smoking schwag (dark and bright green), and to tell you the truth I get sick of it. In fact, I always end up going out of my way to get some good stuff that actually looks and smells like it's gonna top you off. When I smoke schwag, I get high, but I'm wondering if the high would be better with smoking some dank or some really good homegrown stuff.
schwag is cheap though, and it makes for a boring night

Could this not be because its one of those super awesome untapped sources of unbred pure sativas with no ceiling and such? :cool:

Schwag:Pinto; Takes you where you need to go, but you wouldn't want to be seen in it

"Mids":Camry; The occasional, "look what I got!" type weed, but not as "high-class"

Beasters:Mercedes; Want to take everyone on a "road trip" to show it off!

On another note: Schwag gives me a killer headache, so called mids/lightbrick gets me high but if I smoke too much in a days time it gives me a headache! But everytime I smoke some haze or kush beasters I feel as if I'm Hercules and I'm on a never ending quest. Takes me to the sky with the beasters, plus I could smoke the good shit all day per-se smoking BS all day, which just makes me feeling heavy chested and uneasy! DAMN PESTICIDES! We all know the mexican shit has those damn pesticides!

hm, i never get headaches from smoking shwag, I do however get them from smoking keif or resin (only smoke this if you're desperate, lol) Where I live, its pretty hard to find the good stuff so all i have to smoke is shwag or mids. It seems like the quality of the shwag that i get is different from what you guys are use to though. This stuff is usually pretty green with few/no seeds. It usually smells pretty damn good as well but its compressed unlike the fluffy little buds you get when you buy chronic. I'm not picky or snobby about what I smoke though, if its got thc in it then im there! :jointsmile:

What I gather from this thread, is what alot of people call shwagg, beasters, brown, are either all the same or completely differant all togeather. Sounds to me like people in their area have differant types of shwag. and in some the swag is very good. As for Candian brick, I have never seen that around here, all the bricks here are mexican brick, usualy dark green to brown and gets you high very sativa high but you have to smoke a whole J opposed to a couple hits of good herb. Seems we need a shwag wall so all can see their shwag in their area. Because what some people call shwag might be mids to most and what some people call chronic might be shag to most.

What I call shwag is usualy brick-mexican dark green to brown. What I call shit is brick-mexican usualy light brown and smells of gas and or other fuels. These give you head aches, and anything from mussel spasums to vomiting.

If you think you guys have shwag, imagin running into weed where people want to give you a puond for free and you dont take it.........that is shit shwag, you cant even use it for cooking, possibly a wter cure would be good, but who has the time for such shit.
