CONTAMINATED BUD...

[SpiritLevel]

Orite folks, (UK!)

It's been around a while now and I'm wondering how many of you have come in to contact with it. I'm talkin about the contaminated bud that most street pharmacists now seem to have.

The contaminating substance is identifiable by a sandy/gritty texture in your mouth. You don't necessarily have to 'munch' on a bud to get that substance in your mouth; sometimes when the gummy on the Rizla is licked it gets transfered...

Any how, anyone got anything to add cuz I fink its SHIT?

[Clairey]

Yeah it was going around the South of England, its tiny fragments of glass to give the impresson the bud is covered in thc

[Mole2k4]

shut up!
You can't be being serious.
Wouldn't people cut their fingers if they didnt have a grinder? Then people would clock and smash their dealers face in.

[SaintSinner]

I hope he's kidding, but if it's the appearance of crystals they're going for (mmmm, sugar coating!) the pieces of glass would be flipping tiny, too small to give you any lacerations, though getting that shit in your lungs is far from good (I'm thinking along the lines of people who sprayed insolation back in the day, well, at least in the states)

I've heard of people in the US doing crap like that (in the 80s or early 90s there were a rash of buds that were dusted with something along the lines of PCP). Unfortunately it's a case of you've got to know your supplier.

Does the UK still mostly have "soap" hash? That's the same sort of thing (though I suppose the soap mixture nearly as bad/evil/whatever as ground glass.)

Spirit: what part of England are you in?

yes sinner unfortunatly unless you know a grower very well you will only get soapbar in the uk

[SpiritLevel]

That is untrue az! All you need is a good pharmacist with the right medicine. You do not need to know the grower, just the suppliers who go to producers need to know the growers.

Where I am in the midlands the bud is crap!! In this instance one must know clients of producers else all you gunna get is contaminated bud. I just stick to weed currently in the hope that my normat pharmacist is able to get clean stock.

I don't think it is glass. But I believe sand is used to produce glass so burning sand in a joint cannot be healty as the vapour/smoke/mutated molecules exposed to high temperature might have toxic elements.

[azure]

by pharmacist you mean dealer?


You do not need to know the grower, just the suppliers who go to producers need to know the growers.
ive read that a few times not stoned and i still dont know what your on about, but anyways if you can get 100% hash in your area your very lucky mate.

[weedmaster]

yes sinner unfortunatly unless you know a grower very well you will only get soapbar in the uk

not seen any soapbar in bournemouth 4 months was £600 a kilo can remember when it was £550 for a nine bar,can only get weed now £110 for an oz, dope the price goes down drasticly like it did with the hash,:(

[phantompowers]

I have had this contaminated shit. been wondering for a while what the fuck was wrong with it. Seemed to get really hot ash off it and the grainy stuff in my mouth. Had my suspicions but not heard of such a feckin scank before. I am gonna be smashing some fuckin headz in. These bastards selling this shit should be stopped. no wonder it gave me a bad cough. the gy reakoned it was white widow. what a cock end

[SpiritLevel]

It probly was white widow, but it probly had something added to it for weight. There's nothing useful you can do bout it, don't take it out on ur dealer, he/she is just out there trying to make a living..

[phantompowers]

Does anybody know what the hell this additive is?
If the dealer added it i will be having a few words. I don't like additives or contaminates, it a fookin rip off...... And who's know the implications of smoking some unknown extra. no way will i pay for this rubbish again.

[SpiritLevel]

It isn't your street dealer adding it... Word is that its arriving from the producers like it.. forget about it and associate with a grower then you can guarantee purity

[phantompowers]

Dirty low down scum sucking capitalist separatist pigs. I think I better warn my man about this shit. He is a good guy and does whatever he can for you. He don't smoke so proberbly got no idea.

[onelife]

dealers use to pride themselfs on the quality now they just wanna rip u off,what goes around comes around remember that and lets hope they get what they deserve

[SpiritLevel]

WEll, I been unfortuante to wind up with some more contaminated bud. Only a £10, which I ent up selling half of. I haven't had any shyt bud for like 5 or 6 weeks but last night I was running out and went to score of my new pharmacist. I got my sample draw just days earlier off him but it was quite damp but not contaminated. So I decided to go again. I didn't check the weed, I just assumed it was the same clean bud. I was a fool. I checked it while driving home and ""crunch crunch"" was all I got after tasting a bit of the dust. I rang him and complained, but I had the chance to test it because me and him had a chat for around ten minutes in my mota about him commencing an attic grow. TOO TRUSTING I think!!!

can't wait til harvest

[johneg]

Hi.im in midlands/s.wales and ive had this crunchy weed twice in the lats month,and so have people i know in Herts,its everywhere!i got told it was sugar water??gets u stoned though!!

[SpiritLevel]

I'll have a couple oz this weekend. Nice clean fresh Big Budah Cheese

[johneg]

nice!!

[Aaron19]

here in medway (south east) we have had the same problem with gritty bud only a £10 though lucky i just thought it was nothing until i found this thread

luckyly i do get to grow my own and it will be ready in a month or so :)

[relaxman]

Yes, I got some of this shit (London)

I'd never heard of this, but when I tasted it I was sure someone has rolled it in ground GLASS. Clearly not sugar by the way the grit was rock-hard between teeth.

Probably not dangerous if you are using a water pipe, but serious health hazard otherwise. Evil bastards!

[Bivvla]

Theres a couple kilo of that gritty stuff arrived in my part of jockland.,IMO it doesnt seem to be glass,few guys have had joints of just the grit and got ripped as have i.Does look dodgy but its either that or euro poo.

[TheBudBuster]

cement mixer.... dirty buggers

[Mary Stokes]

Get a new dealer guys, dont take that shit in yer lungs

[mushypeas]

Yeah it was going around the South of England, its tiny fragments of glass to give the impresson the bud is covered in thcoh my god!!! i had some of that and after rolling i licked my finger n my teeth were chrunchin for about ten minutes!!!! its f*****g glass!!! ahhh now iv noticed there is alot of wet shit that halfs wen its dry!!

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I bought a half Oz for £65, it was LITRALLY the size of an 8th. Its was all the dusty stuff at the bottom (usually the good bit in my opinion) but it was all gritty. When you put in your mouth you could crunch it. I was well fucking gutted, because i could smoke that in about 4 joints, when its ment to last me a week or 2. This shit has been going around England for fucking ages now, and I hope the people that started this are going to get fuck over by some gangstars for being such fucking money grabbing cunts.

[savagepossum]

blame the pigs for rading large grow ops throughout the u.k thats the reason dealers put this shit in weed to make more profit

[mattmao]

its all over the uk ladies and gentlemen,glass,sand and bi carb,most of this happens after the bud has been shaken,damn pissed ran out between crops had do buy a half of dealer weed,touch it once and gave it straight back.the closest i get to smoking glass is when i put my mouth round a bong,thats why this time 2 extra plants were added to the garden,wont be short again!!!:thumbsup:

[Synthesizer Man]

This is getting beyond a joke. The situation ain't really improved since August. The weed is either hard as a rock and full of stems and seeds, covered in sand or extremely wet. And I never get the full 3.5g for £20.

This might be a good excuse for me to give up forever!

Mate get a new dealer. Whats the point of using a regular dealer that doesnt even make street prices.

[halospaceboy]

i also got some bud with green crystals in it and thought it wAS glass or something i brought it back and the guy told me it was normal and wanted to buy it back from me so i smoked the crystals and got stoned. turns out that when you stress a plant by pinching young leafs the plant prouducess this crystal all over the stem. maby some of you are getting this and thinking its contaminated. i know there is also bad bud out there too

Hi

There's some pics (http://www.lca-uk.org/lcaforum/viewtopic.php?t=3640) of this sort of crap.

- I've also written to my local paper (http://ccguide.org.uk/news/shownewsarticle.php?articleid=11927), been on local radio, and had a letter printed (http://ccguide.org.uk/news/shownewsarticle.php?articleid=11916) in another local paper - I hope others will do the same.
The Legalise Cannabis Alliance has also issued a press release (http://ccguide.org.uk/news/shownewsarticle.php?articleid=11951).

This stuff is far more dangerous than cannabis could ever be - I've heard reports of coughing up blood from bleeding lungs - it seems to be some sort of spray on glass particles used in model-making.

I want cannabis legalised - I don't want it to be legal to sell contaminated or adulterated bud, weed or resin.

everyone should grow thier own thats how to tell if its safe

[Kindbud]

spirit level ,post some pics man. Hopefullly the buds just weren't leached when before harvested, particles will attach to buds sometimes,and they're alot more vulnerable to mold when not leached. Post some pics if you can , I'm hoping that glass thing was sarcasm heh.
