hahaha man, resin from pipes is the bi-product of ganja smoke, like tar, you should be glad your pipe catches that crap, not scraping it out to smoke again. to be honest, back in the day we used to get the gak out of our tubes n shit, but even then, we knew it was rough and only did it when everyone was dry, because its so foul...

anything that crackles should not be smoked.. and thats that..

I can see what you mean, the bud looks fine, to the unsuspecting eye, ive encountered sand weed enough times to identify it by colour, let alone 'trichome' placement, and im sayin, that IS sand weed, in pic 2. and if its not, its been bagged up with sand weed at least...

im not tryin to shame you nocturnal ive smoked that stuff too many times now.. just lookin out for a fellow stoner
