WARNING: Coming to a town near you- Beasters

I hope this is the appropriate forum. I decided since I'm using pictures to prove my point, that it is. The subject is Beasters, and how many people are fooled. At this point, it is a critical concern, as my pictures will PROVE, because the SAME beaster is showing up all across America. And where does it come from? We'll get to that later.

On to my pictures. The first picture is a picture that the middleman/friend took of it before bringing it to me.. He would go up there to get some for himself, so he offered to take my money, and bring it back for me, which he did many times. He is no longer my friend, because I recently found out that the half ounces I was buying were only 175, and not 200 which he had me pay multiple times. Anyway, he used to bring me back great quality weed, but then the dealer had this SHIT for a month before he retired due to moving across the country.

The second picture was taken by billballard the creator of this thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/cannabis-...ing-stuff.html. In the post he reveals he is located in the Philly area. Well, I'm in the midwest. As you can see, they are the exact same "strain". There is no mistaking it, once you've encountered it, trust me.

The third picture is a pretty recent one taken by punkr0x0r, the thread creator. Here's the original link to that thread in case you're interested: http://boards.cannabis.com/cannabis-...half-quad.html
Where is punkr0x0r located at? Canada. The source. This shit is spreading like wild fire. In all of the forums where this weed has been posted, the majority of people say "Wow, that looks amazing, and dank" or something of that nature. Well, it's not. Sure, it may look good, but it doesn't get you high. It gets you drained. Not stoned, not "low" or anything that a normal indica should, but drained. It crackles when you smoke it. It's not even dry. The ashes are black, and taste like sulfer.

In every one of the threads, there is some one who tells the truth, that it is beaster. Unfortunately he is usually outnumbered by people who are fooled by it's appearance. If you come across this, as many people in virtually all the internet cannabis forums have been, don't buy it. It is mass produced shit. I am obviously not lying, because the dealer who I was getting it from, had a huge supply of it. And in other states, other people have large supplies of it, and the people who are getting it, are sick of it.

The pictures speak for themselves... Yes, they are pretty, but we're not in the floral industry, we're trying to get high, and get what we pay for. You get MUCH more higher off of "low grade" mexican weed, than this stuff, for half the cost. This stuff is SOLD as "dank", because of it's appearance. It has no smell, it has no flavor, it has no high. All it does is look nice.

It's mass produced in Canada, I know that for a fact, and I have read that it is grown by powerful Vietnamese gangs. They need to keep that shit in Canada, and stop sending it here. It's shit. Grow some real dank, and send it here if you want to, but not that shit. Hopefully this thread will educate people, and expose that shitty beaster.

Edit: I believe this deserves to be stickied, if not in this forum, than in the strains and seeds section, or wherever the most appropriate forum is. This is seriously spreading like wildfire across the states, and lots of people are paying high prices for this, just because of it's appearance. It's all the same guys, look at the pictures. They speak for themselves.

Oh, I realized that since my personal picture taken by my friend was still in the bag you can't see the obvious resemblance as well, so here's a picture of it out of the bag. Again, trust me, don't be fooled by it's "good" looks. It's the exact same strain, all from the same place, same growers, etc...

heh yeah DONT BUY BEASTERS.

it sucks when there is nothing around but beast.

Hey Horror,

Sorry to hear about you getting scammed. Havent gotten any of that yet but I did get some last week that smelled to high heaven. Smelled great in the bag but when I smoked one I was a sober as could be. Ive had shwag that got me higher than the smell good shit I got. Bet i'll ask for a tester next time. Cant blame nobody but myself on this one cause I know better than to buy without a sample.

is this what it looked like

Beasters.... yuck! :cursing:

I've personally seen people try to pass that stuff off as dank before too. They get offended when you don't even want to hit it. It's quite comical.

I'd rather be sober than inhale that garbage. I know some people that live for that shit because it's cheap and looks decent. Little do they know it's probably chemically tainted or just harvested way too early and won't even produce a buzz. Either way, it's garabage.

Save your money and by an 8th or quarter of dank instead of a half of that.

Good thread, but I still have a feeling there will be more posts labeled dank with pics of beasters.

:twocents:

Yup, looks like typical beasts.

But it's usually cheaper than than most KB. You can cop it for 250 an oz. It's not terrible, not like you are smoking schwag! Nothing special either.

Infact, I have the exact same shit right now lol! Luckily I have a variety. :P

thanks for warning us all, but i think its kind of hard to reconize this "false dank" just by appearance because i am sure that there is alot of dank bud out there that looks just like those pics. also, i dont knwo about other places, but where i live "beasters" is a title for quality, not a strain. beasters are referred to as the bud between mersh and dank (high mids, as alot of you would call it) its usually sold for 35 an eighth and is actually my preferred bud becuase its cheaper than dank but better than mersh

Pretendica.

Good one. :)

In minnesota theres a lot of beasters floating around but your idiotic and ignorant if you think beasters if just 1 strain produced by some gang up in canada. the definition for beasters by minnesota standards in the lows of the highs. Better than mids but not as good as KB. Ive never had beasters that did not get me high beasters can be a bunch of differnt strains mass produced in canada and sent to the u.s. its not all just one strain.

edit- I added a pi cof some beasters i had a couple months ago, got me very high

Seen lots of fucking dumb asses call me up wanting me to smoke there shit. I have seen it and it didn't smell like anything. I knew it was nothing but dirt so I passed on that nasty ass grass.

a bad pic, but thats what beasters i get. think im alright

B'ster is a generic term refering to the location the weed was grown. Like saying 'Mexican' or 'Jamaican' or 'Mendo'.
That's why I refer to 'looks-good/smokes-bad' as 'Pretendica'.

man, that does suck.. i wouldnt get mad at your friend though.. hes gotta make some money out of a deal too.. knowing people is worth money too...

What type of seed do beasters start out from? Strain name?

hahaha stop

I could go on a rampage right now, but I won't. I'm not stupid, I know beasters isn't a strain, but this current operation is mass producing this strain, which is beasters. I've showed three pictures from spread out across the country, all obviously the same.

I, unlike you, don't speculate, but actually know people involved in the transaction. I'm talking about this specific strain being grown. Yes, it is grown in warehouses, but the Vietnamese, if you would research your facts, you would know that's a fact, and not a speculation, you fool.

The people who have encountered this particular strain, all agree with me.

And for those who think beasters means quality, then it must suck to have never experienced real weed before. Weed with an intense and complex flavor. Sure, maybe if you are an occasional smoker, you will be satisfied, but not when you are a medicinal and daily user, or simply want something good.

This current strain of Beasters going around is shit, and that was the purpose of this thread. Just to show you, how this stuff is showing up in almost every american city. Maybe you forgot, but cannabis is illegal here, and other countries make a lot of money on their export. Obviously you've never seen a huge operation before, if you think it's farfetched that this strain of beasters is coming from the same place.

If I could, I would smoke a joint of real quality weed with all of you who are skeptical or fans of this shit, and I can assure you that you would agree with me. Unfortunately, I can't, I can only hope one day you'll get some good shit and see for yourselves...

Since obviously beasters means different things to different people, I'll just refer to it as the mass produced EXACT SAME strain of "pretendica" being mass produced in Canada, and exported here. (beasters), but since people who misunderstand the post, I'll just refer to this shit as pretendica, does that make you happy? Either way, the SAME stuff is showing up everywhere, and that was the purpose of my thread. Not to have somebody try to educate me on what beasters means. I know it's not one strain, but it might as well be, because it's all shit.

Besides, I would know what I'm talking about obviously. For those of you who say it looks dank, I've owned it multiple times, and I've had real dank, and midgrade and shwagg before. And I'm telling you, this is shit.

I could have easily posted those pictures and said "Look at the dank I had!" and have people say "Wow, that looks amazing" or some other uneducated remark, but no, I'm here to expose this shit.

No, it is not different. I've talked to owners of this shit, who have all agreed with me, on the fact that it smells like hay, is wet and moist (because it comes in vaccum sealed bags). You leave it out, and it shrinks and dries. It's packaged when it's harvested. It's not cured.

It's just like fools gold. This is fools weed. It looks good, there's no denying that. It has bag appeal, which is all they care about, because this is their job and they need their money. They are exporting this stuff, and people are stupid enough to buy it. All they need to make their money is bag appeal and it's working, as people are buying this.

That drained feeling is HORRIBLE.
I've smoked something that fits your description once around here in New England. Didn't like it at all.
We get a different Canadian commercial that we call 'Nooks' more often- I believe it is outdoor, doesn't look as good, not hairy at all, but has a lovely pine-sol smell and is a fabulous smoke despite the fact that it is mass-produced and DOES on occasion show up bearing signs of having been bricked at some point.
Thanks for the thread horror business. This is a good one.

stinkyattic, thanks and yeah, until I can find a new source selling REAL dank, or until my Powerstout and Masterlow seeds arrive and I grow and harvest them, I'm only buying lightly seeded mids. It's actually 10x the quality of this beaster, the only downside is the few fully mature seeds, which I really don't mind, as it's better than getting stuff that is fully seeded with tiny immature seeds.

Oh, and nightprowler, it's not hard to recognise it, once you see it in real life. You will be able to tell if it's high quality, or this, judging on the fact if it has a smell. This stuff literally smells like hay. No "cannabis" scent whatsoever, until it's smoked. And even then, not much of a cannabis scent.

yeah stuff smells like hay. It isn't dried properly at all. Doesn't smoke right. Would rather get an ounce of mids than beasters.

It also looks dense, but is too light. if someone is trying to sell you a bag that looks too big for the weight, check closely. It could be pretendica.

horror buisness is correct
Beasters = BC bud MASS PRODUCED/Grown with loads of chemicals, then its kiefed, and pretty much bricked after no cure and is sent to the US. Its ran by gangs, he's right when he says viatnamese gangs mainly

i've read articles on BC bud etc. horror buisness knows what's up, and its sad people buy stuff that looks like somewhat decent bud... but honestly, it doesnt get you very stoned unless you have a very low tolerance.


btw, this is important as many people think that beasters is dank bud just because it has hairs and comes in nugg form. Dont support beasters, tell your dealers you want real good nugg.

What's all the crystally stuff on it? Are those trichs? Would it look like normal trichs etc under a RS scope?

I definately just got some bud a couple days ago that looks exactly like that...

he said it was kb...

its funny I saw this thread because....I found when smoking it the high wasnt as great as I thought it would be..

dont get me wrong ...I still got high...and it was a good high....but it took a lot to get there.....like 2 bowls to myself...

I was suprised

It also didnt seem completely dry....it seemed very soft and damp...

it smelt ok though

Yes, they are real trichomes, but remember weedhound, it's what's in them that counts, not how many there are.

At last, people that support my goal of the thread. And yes Acouwaila it is very soft and damp. And thanks OzzyOz, you too know what's up.

Peace, and try to stay clear of beasters, lol.
horror business :rasta:

would this be an example of what your talking about?

this is from MA, they just call it "dro"



smh @ ignorance

A perfect example. As you can see, it's the same weed as the pictures I posted. LOL, this is awesome, how my post is being proved by pictures before everyones eyes. Thank you for that. Yep, that's the beast.

Yea fuck beasters for Real!:S5:

DAMN those Vietnamese! :S4:

I'm glad I never see beasters here. I kinda went off on canadian weed in another thread only because I was thinking about beasters. Good thread, I think I gave it 4stars earlier.

I've had some bud lately that's been "soft and damp" something like Acouwaila said and I've been having really shitty highs lately. I made a thread about that somewhere in experiences. I thought I needed a break....could it be the weed?

Bah whatever, a break wouldn't hurt right now anyway.

how can all of that be so bad

You gotta understand, beasters doesnt jsut mean one type of bud, around here beasters mean low level dank, we just call that shit that smells like hay or chemicals mids even if it looks good, we wont buy it. I get the piney organic shit, that still you would consider beaster, but it is well dried (read: crumbles and burns nicely) and has full trichomes on it, as opposed to the stalks that are left after that beaster is kiefed between canada and here. Bag appeal is good but the smell is always way off. It still isnt considered dank though. Consider these pictures:
Picture 1 and 2: Beaster, crumbly, smells really nice, has crystals, just isnt up to par with the dank we get.
Picture 3 and 4: Worser beaster, not manicured as well, less crystals, a little bit more of a underflushed smell, but still not that straight chemical shit that you see often around these parts. its fine by me for like 120 a half lol.
Picture 5: Organic outdoor beaster from Ohio University (lol its not from canada but it might as well be). Smells like hay, tastes like the earth, and gave me a nice high for all of an hour lol.

To some real deal dank.
Notice how much different the shade of green is, as well as the stems. Stems are a good way to tell beaster, beaster is just the most bare green unhealthy looking stems around, most dank has really nice crystals going up the stem approaching the bud. Observe.
Picture 1: Good example of the concentration of trichomes on the bottom of the bud and where the stem would have been lol.
Picture 2: Another good example of trichomes on the bottom part of the bud.
Picture 3: Just some dank lol. Smelled like fruit mixed with a little skunk. An almost chemical smell, but a good chemical smell, not from underflushed fertilizers but from being the natural smell of the bud. Those who have had some quality kush will know what im talking about.
Picture 4: More dank, super silver haze that time.
Picture 5: Dankest bud ive ever had, came straight from Arcata. Those in the know will know lol.
Compare those to the beaster and you will see what to look for even when looking through a plastic bag. Dont get ripped off folks.

we call it FOOL'S GOLD. In the mountains.

I mean, i agree with most of what you said. but you paid 200 for an o at one point of that shit? were you like 13?
