'Skunk' in the UK lately

[jchap]

Dinosaur dung.
Never had it and never will, if i dont have my own i do without.

i think from now on i'll do the same

the weed i grow is 10XS better than any shite you can buy in the uk

[jchap]

hmm..by the sounds of it(clumpy black ash that is hard to flick) seems like it might not be a weed problem but a packing the joint prob. Try rolling a bit more loose with it...and make sure its ground super fine...and see if that takes away the black clump of doom
I know if I roll super wet sticky weed and it's packed too tight/not ground enough then i get that black clump.
If its not that... then yeah, that sucks...

it's defo a weed problem, been blazing for 20 yrs and this is a first and hopefully last!

As long as it's not making anybody sick I guess it's ok. What with all the gov idiots keeping it illegal, anybody can put anything in it and there is no one to exercise any quality control. Example= somebody was putting shaved lead in their stuff to gain weight.

Ello, thought I'd sign in for the first time in ages to add my 2 cents. (There definitely used to be a UK section too.. I think.. the old noggin' isn't as reliable as it once was though :jointsmile

I've noticed the exact same thing. I live in Birmingham. I've got no idea where my dealer gets his weed to be honest. It seems to be a bit better recently, around christmas time seemed to be really bad for poorly-burning weed. It almost made me doubt my rolling skillz, but my friends found the same too. The stuff got me as stoned as ever so it wasn't a huge problem, still, it's interesting to hear that people who aren't using my dealer are getting the same problem..

Yes, listen to me, it's important. That black ash doesn't burn because it's sprayed, it potentially has glass balls on it to make it look more 'skunky.' I've been in the same situation mate, it will get you high but it's not worth it. It is actually bad for your health. Don't smoke that SHIT. It can look perfectly great but when smoked, that's when you can tell. Find a new dealer or tell him you're not interested in that sprayed grade, don't fall for it, and again, don't smoke it, it will make your throat sore and make you feel ill. Luckily i've just found someone new and the bud is clean so i urgently suggest you do the same, this is no laughing matter unfortunately, there are infact many pricks who will shot to you and they know their grade is sprayed.

Sounds like a cash crop, not flushed.

sounds like he's spot on... I've had it here in canada too... there's 100x scope you can buy for 30 dollars.. I guess 10 quid ( i think) that would easily show you if its sprayed...

Plus you'll look like one snooty bastard, as it looks like a diamond scope


ii think its called the 420 scope

[stinkyattic]

Greenthing got it right.

It was probably harvested early, insufficiently dried, not flushed, and overferted. On a humid day (I hear those happen occasionally in Merrie Olde England?), if you leave your nugs out, they might even GAIN weight from all the nasty fert salts in there still. I've seen it happen in extreme cases.

Congratulations, the UK has graduated from Gritweed to a European equivalent of Beasters. Lucky you. :clap:

I recon Reefer Rogue is right, there was a program on the TV not long ago and it showed the glass balls under a microscope.:thumbsup:

[jchap]

that stuff past thru here but not seen any since so it's all good

someone must'v messed up a crop and thought wtf i'll still sell it

no glass in it i checked by grinding it with my front teeth
