No these arnt the crystals ive been smoking for yrs i know crystals when i see em on a bud (hell i got 3 bud busters and a press), its different, its hard to show w/o a pic and i aint got a camera. And it isnt laced either. These "spots" are a tad larger then the crystals on bud and more separate. I think it may be the beginnings to mould but in all the times I have seen mouldy weed i never saw this before so it has me stumped. For the record, Im 100% born and raised Canadian, so I don't really worry about "bad" bud, well when I was younger but thats different.
