I wish I could tell you....

I think it depends who you know more than anything.

Some people don't have access to good bud....like myself.

But it's there if you know how to find it.

I'm sure the same is true over there.

Have fun on your trip.

true i have never seen what you guys (people from america) call schwagg. but on the other hand we have whats called soap bar wich is shitty hash mixed with all sorts of additives like tar glue coffee granuals etc etc.

The only decent hash ive smoked over here was from a mate who brought it back from Amsterdam. Afganistan hash...hmmm. A joint between three of us and we were flying!

I cant fault the bud in the uk though, top notch in my town at the mo, Luton.

anyone from britain tried american bud?

somebody someone
10-04-2005, 02:53 PM
yup this is true!!

If your buying around here, your either getting some good skunk, or Fake shit from school kids.

Ive smoked some really good hash around here but when i bought in london it turned out to be soap. Thats the only time ive come accross soap, in camden..

i have been 4tunate 2 sample both and basically its the same everywhere, theres good and bad, iv had some top skunk from england, and some lovely blueberry from the us and as i said, both countrys have good shit, and bad.
so theres no real diff, if u ask me, all the same, good shit.

10-04-2005, 02:57 PM
bud is bud, if its grown rite and its a good strain, it'll get u fucked, if its not then its probly shit

america is a big place man, i'm sure theres some top notch bud somewhere over there, just bloody smoke it and see!!!!!!

my pals live in florida so i tried american weed loads - even my mates agree that we get the best bud over here - you seem to get a load of homegrown and they get like mids and shit which i thought was just like crappy weed in britain but i have gotta say the hydro iv had was good shit although like i say different to our bud -- its different but its all about personal preference!!

10-04-2005, 03:01 PM
yeah, shwag just doesn't exist here in the uk, i think it's coz all the bud comes in from europe, and we don't have anywhere like mexico nearby to sell shitty weed to us...

weed inparticular is extremely territorial and pays close attention to international borders by locating itself with at least 3 geostationary satelites you will find much better weed aswell as better tasting weed in abundance over here, if the mid west didnt spray 6 months out of the year all domestic crops would be overrun by the dankness, even the homeless push shopping carts full of herb(well and a bag of cans , dog and imaginary drinking buddy) all the nasty american jokes come from sheer jealousy( canadiens started that shit after we TOOK lord stanleys cup, parasites) ,why do you think the terrorists hate us, haven't you seen the pics, fuck swallowing some , ship it ups international, and about bringing uk weed here, sure customs guys would probably think it was funny....okay just kidding...

Americans speak quite a bit of getting the odd seed in their bags, I've never seen or heard of anyone who's had seedy weed over here.

Don't really know about American bud but if it anything like some of the canadian bud I've had then it'll rock.

Easiest way is to go online and take a look at different pages featuring some pics and go from there. Unfortunately, people give alot of different names to the same type of weed. Around here "hydro" and "waterbase" is the same stuff. If your weed is a brownish green, its mostl likely schwag. If its a bright green with little white crystals on it, its probably some good american (california?) grown stuff. Orangeish weed tends to be hydro or very well grown from the southern hemisphere, and yellow tends to be some of the best grown, and its usually from the northern hemisphere. Of course, thats just averages. You'll get those colors and types from all over. Best bet though is going online and matching.

Cool link but on smell they left out 'Citruis like smell' (sp?)

SMELL

Green, cured or chemical?
Musty or moldy?
If so, that's very bad. Acrid and skunk-like?
Piney?

I've lived in both places and i think the UK has better weed. Skunk is standard and that would be considered Dank over there. Plus we get it cheaper £20 for an 8th where the average is $50 for dank, you do the math i could go on but the UK has cheaper weed, it's a fact. The US does get some good strains though it's just about who you know. I've had White Widow, G-13, Bubblegum, Ak-47, and Haze all in the states.

It's all about Canadian weed, my friends. BC Bud, or the stuff grown in other provinces too, like Quebec, it's all very good, and pretty cheap :D

I can't say I've ever tried British bud, but F L E S H is definitely right on this one. You haven't truly lived until you've smoked Canadian weed. Ahh, the stoned memories of the Frozen North...or rather, the lack of them. :D

Oh, and I must say, that American Weed is all about who you know, because we can get it from anywhere.

Yeah, there is excellent bud to be found in America, but in Canada it's all the dankest of the dank. I've never seen shwag or even mids in Canada.

10-04-2005, 05:14 PM
generally all uk weed is nice, and if its not u can fuck off, ive got another 20 dealers that all have nice stuff :)
whereas americans always go on about mids, schwag and seeds etc, well that just dosent happen in the uk.

BUZz UK
10-04-2005, 05:21 PM
yeah we just get: skunk - £20 an 8th
soapbar - £5 an 8th

and skunk can either be the absolute killer knock your bollocks off stuff, or rarely just average...

conversely, ireland (where im from) is one of the best places in europe for proper hash, not much weed though. soapbar plagued the nation for many years but new overseas smuggling routes from north africa opened up and now its all about pollen, black hash and oil, with no homegrown really at all.

I never saw shwag till I was around 20. And thats when some dude came back from mexico with some pounds and drove it out to the midwest. If you come to california at least, if you get the good stuff, such as from the med clubs, its comperable to amsterdams stuff. Here you dont get "skunk" though, you almost always know the exact strain. If the dealer doesnt know the strain around here, means he jacked it off someone more than likely lol.

Someone should make a chart to show all the different strains available in different places - I would, but nah;

Interesting post tho'

The UK generally has "better bud".....meaning theres far less commercial or pressed mids

The US best bud I'm sure is better....higher mountains= better growing

Over here i pay 325 euro for 100 gram of good quality weed
that like $ 390 for 3.5 ounces.
The shwagg as you guys call it goes for a 1 euro up to 2 euro
over here.

Obviously you've never smoked pollen, And I was on about comparing pollen with the best weed across in America, Fucking clown

"Fuck that, Ide just had an Americunt some Pollen, We'de see who'd be most stoned"
I wasnt talking about pollen... I was talking about your ability, or lack of, to make SENSE. I mean christ, your from ENGLAND.. speak proper ENGLISH. And, pollen is just low grade hash (or kif) around here. Might be somethin dif there, but around here the only hash we get is bubblehash.

You guys are right, Canadian weed owns all. Even better than weed from Holland.. which doesn't surprise me, since they grow that commercially for quantity, not quality. I'll say again, Canadian weed owns all. :)

But I dunno about UK weed or American weed.. Officially i'm not in the UK and mostly all you can get here is soap.. so yeah.

I cant believe no one is representing my homeland. OK, I smoked it all. American bud and EU bud. All the genetics comes from America. The best genetics moved to freedom in Canada. Seeds come from everywhere and good weed is everywhere. Bad weed is all over the US. Don't see too much bad weed in EU. UK has same as Amsterdam if you look. Worse in UK is mid grade in USA. UK has never seen ditch weed. But also no one in UK has seen Acapulco Gold, Punta Roja, Michuchan or Panama Red or Columbian golds, reds and chiba. You can get stuff all over, California and NY City being prime to score easily. Just as easy as Camden.

I'm going to add my voice to choir by saying it's not location, it's know-how and who you know. You hear Americans talking about seedy weed because they don't show discretion. Most people here tend to just pounce on whatever they see instead of finding something of quality. If you have shitty weed the only person you have to blame is yourself.

Gizmo I would like to impart some timeless words from Stewie Griffin- "You don't so much as speak the language as butcher it."
