£40 of bud, what to expect?

[Twisty1]

Hey, I'm pretty new to smoking, probably been doing it now for.. 3 weeks. Anyway, Im going to get £40 of bud on Tuesday and I have no idea what to expect! So basically could anyone please give me a rough idea so I don't get ripped off? A picture would be great, but if thats not possible just compare the size to something.

The bud isn't any purple haze stuff, just regular bud... normal quality.

Much obliged

Hash or skunk?

[cannabis campbell]

if its skunk it should be a quarter (quarter of an oz) 14 grams.

if you say to a dealer '40quids worth of weed' they most likely will rip you off because you ask for the weight, and they tell you how much they do it for.

[Twisty1]

its skunk, and I cant really bring a scale to school with me to weight it, thanks for the info but thats not possible, can you compare it to something in size? Picture woiuld be best I know its hard to describe the size of a bag of bud.

[cannabis campbell]

il try and get a pic of a quarter hold on

(btw if you just started smoking, how much does it take you to get stoned / how many times have you bought weed before, and can you skin up)

Just for the record if its a dealer at your school why dont you just bring the scales in just do it at breaktime somewhere. If its weighed on he wont have a problem letting you weight it.

[cannabis campbell]

ok its too late to edit my msg...

Sorry i cant find a pic but dont worry loads of people on here will have.

When you weigh the weed take it out of the bag aswell because the baggie weighs 0.2 or something but depends on the size.

For £40 of skunk you should be able to easily fill 2 small "drug bags" or whatever their technical name is.

[digweed]

a quart is only 7 gramms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Synthesizer Man]

:stoned: Yes. An ounce is only 28 grams. :D

See you can learn something by using cannabis! :D

baggies!

[ChronicMike]

You should get 4 blunts or 8 joints or 16 bowls.

[cannabis campbell]

Depends how much you put into a joint, blunt or bowl doesnt it, ive put an eigth an a blunt before and i put half an eigth 1.75g. so it depends but just make sure it weighs more than 14.5 around that because of the weight of the bag

[Synthesizer Man]

When I restarted smoking weed a few months ago, I could get about 12 spliffs out of a 16th, but they were pretty phat bags anyway. And I was the most fucked I've ever been on so little weed.

Now I know I can smoke an eighth all in one go and not feel many effects.


I strongly believe a quarter is way too much for a first-timer. You don't want to end up like me.

[Twisty1]

Thanks for all the replies lads, to answer some of the questions..

It used to take me 1 joint to get properly blazed for about 4 hours :P however, I just bought 1/2 oz of hash and smoked it in 1 weeks pretty much every day, so to get any real effect from it, I need to use my homemade bong.

No I can't skin up at all, I dont even try anymore, I roll a joint and it take a strong toke.. it burns down 1 side and wastes half of the joint.

I have bought weed 3 times in total.. 1/10 of green, 1/8 of hash and 1/2 of hash.

If anyone can still find a picture of £40 of bud, or 1/4 plz post it, I've been searching everywhere but can't find any.. seems the people who post pictures on this forum post large amounts of weed rather than avergae sized amounts.

[cannabis campbell]

as to your joint side-ing, elvis-ing, or whatever you call it going to one side thats because the tobacco burns faster than the weed and its not properly mixed in the joint theres just tobacco on one side and weed on the other, when you skin up take your time to best way to do it is put a bit of tobbaco then weed, tobbaco then weed etc...

Dont worry you will learn how to skin up properly in about a month thats all it takes

[Twisty1]

ah... I was wondering about that, see when I roll a joint I break up my weed and put it in then put the baccy on top, now I realise the error of my ways.. thing is, I still don't having a fucking clue how to roll, basically I put my stuff in, roll it so it takes shape and the weed mixes into the baccy then I just fold it :P I cant roll it properly.

[cannabis campbell]

What skins do you use?

[Twisty1]

Green pack of Rizla's.. I live out in the sticks, so I really can't get much else, Im just lucky that my parents own a restaurant so I have a lot of access to Rizla's and baccy.

http://www.1stmarijuanagrowerspage.com/how-to-roll-a-joint.html this should help

[Twisty1]

thanks for that man, been looking through some rolling guides on the net, but none of them gave as many detailed pictures as that, I can't get rolling baccy easily, I can get normal baccy from brand fags though.. and I don't mind the taste so I hope that will be ok... rolling a J is definetly the easiest thing for me to do, my parents are anti smoking.. anti drugs totally so taking a bong down the river where I walk my dog is a bit of a risk incase they see me.

Anywho.. any pics? :P

[Synthesizer Man]

Bear in mind weed is measured by weight only, and is incredibly hard to judge by sight alone. Because some weed is really compressed hard.

woah, what you on about? For 40 quid you should get a quarter ounce, which is 7 GRAMS.

14 grams is 60 - 80 quids worth... half ounce

You went through a 1/2 oz of hash in one week and you're new to smoking?!??!? That's a shitload of THC.

[LIP]

oh shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, what was i THINKING! lmao

Lol, its ok, you was probably stoned lol :)

And half oz of hash in a week for a noob is a bit much...

Either someone is telling porkies or it was soap. Im guessin soap cos its difficult to get good hash in UK. Infact, unless its made by someone you know in UK, you cant get it. It's all soap.

[Twisty1]

Nah man Im not lying, I don't lie, I went through £30 of hash, the bar was about the zise of say.. half a bar of average soap, I was pretty much stoned for the whole week and by the end of the week I would have a rip from my bong and wouldn't feel a thing.. so I decided to throw the very small amount of hash I had left away so when I smoke my joint on tuesday I will get a nice buzz.

[LIP]

Ok, fair dos man.

Was it soapbar though, cos most of the hash in UK is

[Twisty1]

hhmm, I dont actually know what soapbar is mate :) think you can explain the difference between hash and soapbar?

[cannabis campbell]

SOAP BAR

Popular "hashish" found in the UK.

soap bars weighing 9oz / 250 grams, on average contain 1/3 oz / 10 grams of flower / resin and up to 200 grams of inert ground-up shade leaf. The remainder consist of c.40 grams of various noxious substances. Using mass spectrometry they found the most common of these are as follows:
Glue
Dyes
Carcinogenic solvents such as Toluene and Benzene (from petrol/turpentine/diesel)
Henna
Pine resin (to mask the smell of the above)
Plastic (often from repressing/remixing bars using petrol/diesel)
Tranquilizers / barbiturates (often veterinary in origin like ketamine)
Other ingredients found include;
Tar / bitumen
Wax / Boot polish
Condensed milk powder
Brick dust / sand
Digested organic matter / excrement

[Twisty1]

Aye it was soapbar.

no thats not true

i never used baccy and never had any burning problems its a myth

it burned funny cos one side had more rizla then another

;)

[Twisty1]

Well, whatever the prob is with a joint burning down one side I have come up with a solution! If I take small to average sized tokes it dosen't happen, I have a habbit of taking huge tokes, guess I will change my method :)

Oh yeah, I told my mate I have trouble rolling and he is gonna make me 4 supersized chocolate and vanilla blunts.. goodie! it's gonna be a hella weekend :P
