In the UK especially I doubt very much that the street weed is flushed carefully or grown organically. Which is one of the reasons I don't buy it.

Organic weed to me seems to smoke smoother, has a better taste and a cleaner high - but maybe i'm biased I've seen sparks literally fly from non-organic weed when smoked
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the fertilizers, hormones, and other nasty additives commercial growers use to maximize their weed has caused/is causing health problems. In moderation, chemical ferts do what they're intended to do, granted... but we're definitely on the same page when it comes to the more pleasant taste of organically grown buds that were cared for, flushed properly, etc.

Also don't blame you at all for not buying any of that commercial garbage. There's no telling what's in that stuff. I remember hearing a year or two back of some dealers putting silica, amongst other things, in their buds to bump the weight up. I know it was a pretty big problem in the UK at one point, and definitely was an issue in the States. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what was causing the sparks you described in those non-organic buds. Just another good reason for decriminalization/regulation of cannabis... take the power out of the hands of careless idiots just looking to make a buck on a sub-par product.
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . Organic Buds I live in California and am fortunate enough to be able to try tons of different strains from the different dispensaries. That said, I have only seen a limited amount of Organic Cannabis. What is available elsewhere? There is also a lot of confusion about what Organic means, especially with the lack of any regulating body. Some limit Organic to outdoor bud that's just thrown in the ground and left to grow. I see it as the using only Organic nutrients and sprays, and plenty of them, Rating: 5
