thanks for replies guys, think the stuff is definately covered in something though, as we all have probably experiencd the usual sprayed stuff once or tWice in our long careers of smokin the herb, this stuff is different....... smells like strawberry yogurt and when smoked the ash is solid and is really hard to get a puff. tastes fine but completely not the point lol shame, bud looks great. THINKING OF DAMPING IT THEN MAYBE GRILL FOR 5 MINS, TRY AND MELT THE SHIT OFF
