if your used to kine bud, you'll know right away wether or not its schwag.

it can be any color (brown, dark or light green, sometimes red or purple)... it is almost always compacted. ive even seen some quarters that were the size of a gram of your average kine, but when broke up there's a lot more there than you thought.

the most tell tale signs are seeds and stems, the lack of trichomes and hairs, and the smell. schwag has the same smell with variation, it smells more earthy usually and the skunky smell is usually overpowering all others. also, the smell is usually not very powerful. almost watered down.

the stems usually taste very spicy.

schwag is only good for a food spice to me anyways
