Beasters is actually a term bud that comes from a strain of weed called M-39 that is actually fairly potent. The name Beasters was applied to this type of weed because it is often harvested far too early; that explains the lack of high, or draining effect you describe. It is created solely for mass-production, so it is also handled a lot. I have come across this bud before; it is highly identifiable by its looks and the fact that it does crackle. At first I thought it was because of ferts and nutes, but now I know better. Avoid this weed at all costs, unless you wanna try and land some seeds for the future and raise the strain as it should be.
