Beasters have the following characteristics:
-From BC
-Not compressed
-Appear hairy and dank
-Have often been kiefed off before shipment and do NOT get you as high as you think they should
-Mass-produced in warehouses
-Often have an unpleasant high that burns out badly

$10 a gram is OKAY for beasters. That being said, I won't touch them personally, but they LOOK pretty.
They aren't 'tainted', unless you count that they may not have been properly flushed prior to harvest. They should be seedless.
High quality brick or compressed Canadian outdoor is a MUCH better deal than Beasters.
