Quitting Cannabis due to the Gritty/Sandy weed going around the UK.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

For months and months now there has been this gritty weed going around England as all the regular street buyers and sellers will know.
Ive smoked alot of this (2/3/4/5 Oz...?? who knows!?) and have not been well at all recently. My lungs hurt real bad, I cant take deep breaths with out pain and a restriced feeling.
I did some research on this, and found out there is a high possibility its sillicone spray or something they put in when growing (as its all the way threw the bud, not just on the outside), which can seriously fuck you up and potentialy be life threatening.
Ive been smoking everyday (seriously, everyday) for about a year and a half, wether thats just 1 joint in the evening or an 8th in a day.
Now I feel I must stop as I cant get any other weed aprat from this contaminated SHIT thats possibly killing me. A couple of friends given up (for different reasons) and I decided to follow in their wise footsteps.
Ive got over a Quater of the weed right next to me, and its so hard to not smoke it but its worth throwing in the fucking bin I believe.
so I decided to quit untill I can get my hands on cannabis without this grit, that could be a week or it could be a year... who knows!? It will only stop being sold when people stop buying.... and people arnt going to stop buying untill people start DIEING!
I thought id post this on here, just for the sake of it... I hope I can not smoke, I really must resist smoking this shit.

I advise if you are buying this stuff, STOP.

[EckyThump]

any way you can get your own grow together man.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Ive got lights and everything needed to grow, and have grown in the past. The thing is a Rent my house (meaning someone else owns it, we just live here and pay monthly) so they do checks every 6 months. Obviously this makes growing difficult. Also im having a new window put in my room, so we have people comming and going, so we cant grow safly for another few months.

Im kinda looking forward to not smoking for a while, get a clear head and my lazy life style sorted out. Also when i start up again, im gonna get blazed to fuck as i wont have a high tolerence.
On the other hand, im propper gutted... I <3 cannabis so much, its just perfect to end the day and get my thought together.

[mushypeas]

i know i got some for a few weeks in the drought n i was finding it hard to take deep breaths for a few days after im growing my own now....

[gunge9]

That`s just wrong man, weed should be respected more.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

There has been odd bits of green around that hasnt been contaminated with this, and I always buy up as soon as I know where its at but over the last 2 or 3 months, its been constantly this gritty stuff. I know a few of people who retail LARGE amounts (bars, kielos+) and they all have the same, so you cant expect the small timers (oz and bars) to have any different stuff.
I blame it on the crack down. They should be cracking down on the hardcore drugs, not the drug that has no recorded deaths threw out the whole world. Seems kinda stupid if you ask me... but hey, thats the goverment for you!

[mattmao]

sorry to hear about all the shit weed that is going about have seen plenty,but wont buy it,its sand or glass that is put on the weed after the thc has been shaken off.this weed has been going round scince about october time and from what i have heard nothing is going to change untill late january.try and get your own grow together,if not try to get to know some growers you will always get clean weed.there are some very nice bits of hash about and some very potent clean green,but the prices have raised and the amounts are only for close friends,these are just some af the advantages of growing knowing growers,and having good friends who always will help each other out.if nobody bought that shit contaminated weed it wouldnt be on the streets.well good luck in finding yourself a good smoke for christmas.:jointsmile:

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I already said about the growing situation.
Also this sandy shit is ALL the threw the bud, not just on the outside so i think its done during the growing process.
I know plenty of people who retail it, but they all have the same shit, or slightly different shit with the same sandy/gritty shit on it.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Remeber i said i had a quater sitting right next to me in the top post??
I did go TWO DAYS without smoking anything! (lol.. 2 days is nothing, but I feel thats a very very very long time for me.)
Basicly, with some small buds from the weed i hate, i decided i would mess about with them... normaly i would commit suicide before i did anything like this, but im very intreeged about this sandy bud.
I took 4 or 5 small bit of bud, and put them in a glass filled with water about half way up. I then stired it for about 4 or 5 mins, and let it settle. Now, obviously my bud got soaking fucking wet, but alll the sandy/gritty shit sunk to the bottom of the glass, leaving my bud floating at the top.
I took my bud out, dryed it out last night on some tinfoil on my computer and its bone dry now. Its still alittle gritty but not much at all, and its lot all its size and smell... but I dont give 2 fucks. Im gonna smoke and see if i actually get stoned.

[9bob]

The sandy stuff is REALLY horrible. As posters above have said, it causes quite a lot of physical pain. Weed should not do that. If you must buy weed from street dealers, simply do not accept the sand. We have to send a message to whoever is doing it that we don't want to smoke this, and won't pay money for it. They'll have to stop making it then.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I smoked the 4 buds, they were nicly dry.
They smoked nice to be honest, not harsh and you could actually toke the joint (unlike with the gritty stuff on, it was well hard to take a draw). I hit 1 bud in a bong, and put the rest in a joint. Did get pretty blazed actually, so it is quite good. Gonna do it with the rest of what I have, then just not buy any more gritty shit.

[Devilman]

My friends relation is seeing a pshychiatrist at the moment and he was talking about weed to my friend. It's one of the questions you ask like, have you smoked cannabis in your life as they reckon it's linked to pshychois. Anyway they were talking and the bloke said hes worried about his grandson he thinks hes started to smoke it. He then goes on to say his main concern is the quality of weed circulating Norfolk at this present time the sandy weed he claims contains silicone and fibreglass. Thats why we have all been suffering with bad chests, mega sore throats and shit weed. Have you noticed how it wrecks your grinder it basically destroys the teeth and it gets everywhere. Put a bit of this 'sandy' weed in your mouth and chew it...nice..not. Its fucking annoying to know these rumours could be true the pshychiatrist had no reason to scare my friend or his relative, he didn't have a clue my friend smokes it so why would he lie about the weed? I've only gone for deacent weed since then, the sandy shit tastes rank, it gets whatever the fuck it is fibreglass or whatever all in your grinder, fingers etc. It side-burns like anything and always goes out who wants to smoke this shit?

Even worse circulating our streets as of late are rumours of people passing out from smoking this shit.

[weedmaster]

been trying to pick a couple of os up 4 the last week been to 4 different dealers all got the same shitty grit weed,i refuse to by this shit and everyone else should also refuse its the only way we can stop it.got some homegrown pineapple punch arriving tomorrow been told it isnt dry properly yet but id rather buy damp good weed than that gritty shit.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

HRAHARHARHAR!!!
I just got my hands on a couple of oz of NON grit.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

looks like i wont be quitting for a while! w00t

[veto]

hmm , that weed popped up here in the north east a week or so back , grabbed a half of it when i saw how much dust it was coverd with , i thought it was christmass.
stuff didnt even get me high , and the dust off it was more like sand as you say , never mind its not about anymore , just got some lovely green . but struggle to find it regularly , and had that sandy shite offerd to me from 3 diff sources.

Yes I agree, DO NOT risk smoking it

The Legalise Cannabis Alliance http://www.lca-uk.org (http://www.lca-uk.org)

is looking for samples of the contaminant to get analysed

please post it to LCA, PO Box 198, Norwich, NR3 3WB in a small sealed bag and a note saying which town of city it was bought in

we are also preparing posters and fliers to warn people

this stuff has been reported from all across the UK and Ireland, also Germany, so it's on a MASSIVE scale.

[TheBudBuster]

your just looking to score some bud... hahaha kiding..

If i get some this weekend ill post some.. havnt seen it in ages..

[Abattoir Dream]

[TheBudBuster]

they deserve alot worse than a meeting with the fluffy abattoir..

[lowryderulez]

hmmm, well this should encourage more to grow, the police cant arrest every grower? ...makes perfect sense to make it legal for our health becuase obviously thats the only thing people care about when it comes to drugs.

I have a question...if this is something that's 'potentially' life-threatening, why did it take you so long to be like..'yo, this weed isn't just flowers, I shouldn't buy it?'

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Well, the first month it was around we were just like 'wtf is this grit?', without it its actually really nice bud so i guess we didnt really care. now
this stuff is around everywhere, its not just this area its around the whole uk, and even europe. check the thread on the http://www.ukcia.org/forum/ there is 13 pages of reported contaminations and speculation of what it may be.
now i just dont buy it, but i always have to have weed... and when thats all you can get...
anyway, ive kinda decided this stuff isnt as bad as i may thought (health wise), apart from a total rip off in weight. its potentialy just a product called 'Brix Plus', which is just fine sand basicly, not fiber glass or whatever else.

[ZeldaG.]

.... OH crap i believe i been smoking this shite for ages i always thought its the thc crystrals that where crunching like sand betwean my teeth, and like the grittier the bud was the happier i was like cos i thout it ws crystally...

Right now i got this shite thats crunchy but i cant see no grit on it (not much anyway looks a bit dusty (buit maybe that is the thc) but it still crunches) now i dont know whether to smoke it or not...

Pls advise me before i smoke it, thanks!

hhhmmmm wish i had checked the UK posts more often lol, i see some guy posting flyers on one of these topics, i think ill go do something good for the stoner community of east london/ essex :D :D

So if you see posters and leaflets being handed out / stuck on walls by some guy who isnt growing his hair, but he is just not cutting it, than its me.

lol enjoy...

[AlunB3]

Here's a poster (http://www.ukcia.org/images/posters/contam_poster2.gif) - maybe everyone could print and get it put up in shops and public places?

[ZeldaG.]

nice now i can get rid of my 'homegrown' posters,


damn thats the cheesiest line i ever used :S lol

But yeah theyll be up tommorow

[Redranger76]

On the Isle of Wight where i live you have a choice A) No Weed or B) Sandy weed.
I am now setting up my own grow space & going to smoke my own.

[da highest]

Can anyone post some pics of this shit bud. I live in Bristol and think may hgave the same problem is it a more dark green and does not smell of skunk barely any smell? I thought purely it had just been weighed down with water?

[lil josh]

i only saw one load of that gritty shit only ever smoked it once lol, a year and a half ?? where u living

[Nocturnal Stoner]

i had bout an 1/8th of that contaminated weed in two days off my mates dealer sum shitty teenage girl who dont know shit bout weed, but there is good bud going around still, my regular dealer always has good bud on him no sand, silicone or watever, so once i start smoking in june i'll be sure to pick off him, im also growing cause theres always a drought here in summer in london, so i should have a good summer, dont forget, good bud is still around just look around for different dealers.

[teknonra]

iv'e had 2 lots of that glass shit. did'nt know what was on it till now.
hurt the back of my throat really bad, i thought it was just unwashed chems off the grow. now i know better i'll be paying my man a visit. i've now got 'issues'

[HerbsDaWord]

Smoking weed in LONDON is bloody dangerous right now.
I decided 5 months ago that I woudn't be helping any dealer pay off his mortgage to slowly poison me while counting my money!

I dont understand how its STILL HERE though, pervasive throughout the country after all these MONTHS.
I know ONE moral person who refuses to put this shit out, and thats only because someones lungs collapsed and died (apparently)

Will it kill you or harm you to not smoke weed for a while? NO! You may even benefit from taking a break.
Will it kill you or harm you to smoke this if theres nothing else about? Probably. I really wouldn't want to find out!

its been in France for a while, and theres a load of people with mad LUNG DISEASES and a couple deaths.
its an epic struggle nowadays to even have a decent smoke :mad:

[king cola]

that gritty shiz hasnt been in my town for well over a month now, (well not that i know of!) maybe a nationwide stoner boycott is in evoloution and dealers are finally realisin they cant shift it as well anymore as the world gets wise to their damn cheeky tricks!!!

[HerbsDaWord]

Also, there is different stuff in some bits of green. my mate got a bit and went home to smoke it. when he put it down, THE SKUNK IN THE BAG MOVED TOWARDS HIS SPEAKER. there were a load of friggin iron filings in it

[ZeldaG.]

hey ive been giving posters to people i get weed from (dealers :S ) and told them straight that i want some weed but aint taking that shit, most of them understood what i was saying lol and switched to stringy, sticky shit, but deals are shit and all that, still ebtter than smoking glass lol .

But see some of them are really unaware that they are selling this shit, and are genuinley interested and pissed off when they see the posters.

My point: DONT QUIT YET!!! EDUCATE THE PEEPS YOU GET IT OFF SO THEY CAN PROVIDE A BETTER SERVICE FOR YOU!!

[kentec]

Mate I just been reading with interest and know what your saying.Theres nothing but rubbish down this end of the land.Uk southcoast.
I was lucky enough this year ,well last year to just grow my own.so dont have to go without.
I'm still only about half way through the crop so should have enough untill weather lets me start some more.
All I do is put a few plants in the garden and they just go for it...LOL
Wait think I got a pick somewhere...

[DeepFriedBrain]

So let me get this straight- the people that grow weed for import to this country first tumble the weed in a pollinator to collect the real resin and sell it as dutch cream/skuff or whatever. They then take the same weed and ram it into a barrel of sandblasting grit/glass beads to add weight....twats.

[mc-blaze21]

so weedboywonder did u smoke that half oz in the end i bet u did lol. but seriouse this weed situation is getting out of hand now it is every where. im even being affecticed by it now. not physically but business wise init
ne ways ppl laters all peace and god bless!

[mc-blaze21]

deepfriedbrain its not put in a sand blaster. the grit or sylacone is blasted on to the plant and bud's during and all the way through flowering. its propper nasty stuff as well it can make your lungs bleed cause. cause lung cancer. and all the other affects are still to be found out. if i was any one out there and i was offered this grit shit i would refuse to take it simple as whats more important your life or your weed i no what i would choose. ne ways ppl peace and god bless!!

[mc-blaze21]

kentec where did u get that sign from bruv i want one it is well gd lol and yeah it did make me smile lol laters

[FreeVenice]

Where I'm at everyone is stressing the glass thing, there have been stories of peaple here lacing the bud with other drugs and or odors (pine-sol, fabreeze, ect.). very sketchy world we live in. You just got to know your buds and spot it before you pay. keep a close eye on the details, look close to the stem for tells.

[amberler]

Haven't seen any of this for a while now. I had some a couple of times and found a good grind got rid of the worst of it.

Can you not read? I never said it was put in a sand blaster, I said 'They then take the same weed and ram it into a barrel of sandblasting grit/glass beads to add weight....twats.'
If the sand blasting grit is chucked on while it's growing, it can't be tumbled in a pollinator(never understood why it's called that) to relieve the weed of all its resin, hence it being replaced with glass beads.

[DeepFriedBrain]

please tell me you're not grinding that shit down and smoking it are you?

who are u calling a twat. and for your information i can fukin read. i no what u said and as far as the tumbling goes ur right but as for spraying it is sprayed all the way through flowering so dnt come that with me ok. u have some bad attitude and it is not welcome on this site i was stateing what i know and not trying to make u look like a dick. but after them comments u made u have made ur self look a dick ya get me:S5: :S4:

[amberler]

please tell me you're not grinding that shit down and smoking it are you?

Of course not, I have spoken to couple of people who still maintain it's crystals though. :(

[mc-blaze21]

sorry fried i didnt read that properly man. i still go by what i said bout the spraying coz ive seen the video. it might get put in a tumbler where u are but it dnt here. coz the green is so shit they put the crystals in while its budding so it weighs more and looks better. listen bruv just keep ur attitude down in future init there aint no need for it. if u have an opinion say it dont get all aggressive over it u will give ur self a heart attack or summing. im sick of cocky lil ppl thinking they no every thing where as if u googled it and read every thing then u would no init. well thats all i got to say on it unless some one else wants to have ago lol ne ways laters all take care bless!!

[ukmonkey]

flush it now! and get a new hookup! let it be known u will pay £25 8th for uncut weed. Thats the going rate now :-(

[MrBluey]

i have had to give up as it was everywhere here but now people are wise to it everyone is dry ffs wish i knew what was going on i need :rasta:

Whoops!Sorry.Ive yet to master the art of cut and paste(LOL):stoned:

[Sandyfuckers]

I think the tumbler theory makes more sence then them spaying the plants with this POXY SHIT while the plants are growing in the flowering stage. Im really not sure that the plants would be able to grow after being coated with
with it, im sure this would stop them from getting air i know that the root system is more importent for the plants air supply.would they still be able to grow in them conditions???.plus i think that this would block out light that is also importent for the plants-buds growth.To grow the plants first as a proper crop then putting the buds in a tumbler after its dried and then adding their nasty sand of death once they have taken the thc would make these lowlife!!! thieving!!! arseholes!!! shit!!! cunt!!! bastards!!! more money...

these cock suckers need finding and given a right long fucking night of torchering makes my blood boil...


my remix of mr sandman all lyrics by me copyright.

mr sandman sell me some green (bung, bung, bung, bung) please not that shit with the silvery sheen (bung, bung, bung, bung) some thc like rose's and cover but not that shit that comes thorugh dover that shit smells so bad it gets you pulled over!.sandman! i need to get stoned give some of that super homegrowen.please stop selling that sandy shine mr sand man bring some green....

[sneeky]

I must say that dorset is full of this shit.
Seems like no one knows what real weed is like nowadays(in dorset that is)

Like trooper30 said these tosspots spray it to bump up the weight :mad:
I for one am sick of this shit its been going on for over a year and half now.
So i think its time to start me own batch and dare i say quit for the time being :(

[PlainJane]

Another reason I am looking to grow my own. What kind of vicious greedy twat puts that sort of crap on weed? Blasphemy!

[southerntoker]

wow, its still there? Thank god im in the u.s., but if i lived over there i wouldnt smoke that shit, all i can say is order some seeds and grow your own, encourage freinds to do the same, after a while if enuff people do that then you wont have to buy the shit, then that part of the black market will crash, and if that happends, everybody who sells it for a livin will figure this out with the source it came from, but the dealers who got it are only selling it because they bought the same shit you did and only way to get the money back from there issue, AND FOR THE MOST PART , PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING. the way to wrap it up is, well, would you pay to have sex with a hooker with aids?

[cartmanone]

IM IN THE CROYDON, UK AT THE MOMENT AND I PROBABLY KNOW MORE ABOUT SPRAYED SKUNK THAN ANYONE ON HERE. ITS ALL I CAN GET APART FROM BLOCK WEED, DAMP SHABBY HOMEGROWN AND THE OCCASIONAL BANGIN CHRONIK.
