Sounds like some grade A shag weed that wasn't flushed of its nutes. The "buds" will crack and pop when not flushed, or it also pops when you're puffing on a seed.

I hope you didn't pay too much for crap like that.
Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on . Burning Question Last weed I got has something wrong with it i fear.....but I'm not sure what - anyone got any ideas? The buds are not well formed - have no weed smell - in fact a slightly odd chemical smell - but the strangest thing of all it sort of fizzes when its burning. and if its dark (I often have a pipe outside on the deck at night and noticed this happening) wee sparks can bee seen (sorta like the sparks that come off kids sparklers). Other strange thing I've noticed it feels a bit damp but still Rating: 5
