Hi, Im getting extremely concerned about this stuff its all we have been able to get in Yarmouth for the last 2 months now. Is anyone else suspicious that this crap appears all over the UK at the same time, and just after those country wide raids?
I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I think it could be the government putting this sand weed out. What criminal gang would put their reputation on the line with this stuff?

I predict that potentially this sand weed will be responsible for the reclassification of cannabis back to B, or perhaps even A!! Theres been a lot of talk in the media about super strength skunk, and Ive even heard people say that it should be put in its own class, above other types of cannabis.

This would be the perfect excuse for the powers that be to demonize cannabis even further and potentially even scare a lot of people in to not smoking it anymore.

As for what this stuff could be, its got to be some sort of tiny particles, my worst fear would be that its Asbestos. But anything non-natural is very worrying to say the least.

Does anyone know if the LCA or any similar group is planning to get tests done on this stuff? Im sure there are commercial companies out there that would do some tests for the right price (perhaps we can all chip in towards the cost?) or what about a university or some medical laboratory?

This contamination needs to be examined urgently and some flyers need to be put together so we can get them up. This is potentially a serious health risk that is being ignored by the mainstream. I think its going to have to be up to groups like the LCA to help us on this one, the government is clearly not interested in our health.

Peace, Xterity

i agree....its a conspiracy! if they can blow up the twin towers and even stick a bomb in the london tube and blame it on terrorist then i think they can put this shite on a plant!!!!!
!
im all up for making posters etc....im a photographer so im a tad handy.
the problem is can i use the LCA logo etc....it really needs to be done properly for people to take note...
DEREK or ALUN and suggestions....what you you want? how would it be worded? etc etc.i really want to help
now that someone has found out more about what it is, we can now act!!

I just sent the email below to the Great Yarmouth Police, i would encourage others to send similar emails to their local police.

Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to bring to your urgent attention a potentially serious health risk relating to cannabis that is currently being sold on the streets of Great Yarmouth.

Over the last two months a potentially deadly form of cannabis has been available to users of the herb in Great Yarmouth. Claims have been made that this cannabis has been contaminated with silica sand, fiberglass particles, and lead arsenate to name just a few.

This new form of contaminated cannabis which first appeared around the end of September, shortly after Operation Atone, is widely available in Great Yarmouth and in some cases is the only form of cannabis user can acquire.

I would like to know if you are aware of this serious public health risk, and if so what is being done to inform users of this threat to their health. I would also like to know if any of the cannabis seized in the Great Yarmouth area since the end of September has been tested for contamination, and if so what the results were.

I understand that users of illegal drugs will always run the risk of being exposed to unknown contaminants due to the obvious lack of quality control involved in the trade. But, as Im sure you will agree this new from of cannabis possess a much more serious threat to our community than has been witnessed before.

I would appreciate a prompt reply to the concerns laid out above and would also suggest that a urgent public health warning be issued immediately to local media outlets.

I thank you for taking the time to address my concerns, this is an important issue that only the police are equipped to fully deal with.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Yours faithfully

Mr. <Name Removed>

Exactly, most people now agree that the 9/11 was carried out by the government, and 7/7 is looking that way too. I wouldnt even question whether or not MI5 would do something like this, its more a question of IF they have!!

For a few years England had a booming weed scene, there were hundreds of small-to-medium sized grow ops up and down the country producing top quality cannabis. All this changed with Operation Keymer, nearly all the weed dried up almost over night.

And then what hit the streets nationwide? All this so called sand weed!! As if someone were just waiting for the drought to hit so they could sell their poison knowing it would be bought up immediately.

Lets face it, the powers that be couldnt stand all these working class people making a nice little earner from the herb so they needed to do something, something permanent, and that something was clean the streets of all the quality locally produced herb and then flood them with their poison insuring that cannabis is once and for all demonized in the minds of the intelligentsia.

I predict, if it is glass or some other dangerous contaminant in the weed, this story is going to be huge, there will be calls from the right and left to reclassify cannabis probably to class A. There will be a few voices in the wilderness calling for legalization but these will be drowned by the establishment press calling for tougher sentences and the like, you all know the routine.

The only thing we can do now is get the message of legalization to as many people as we can before the reefer madness anti-devil weed propaganda starts, this contamination issue could help us with that, but we need to get the word out before THEY do!!

Im up for printing off 1000s of flyers and postings them door-to-door as well as fly posting, we just need some flyers knocked up urgently, black and white if possible to save on ink costs, preferably with the LCA logo on them. All of us need to get active on this one, theres never been a stronger case for legalization than now!!

Get Active, Peace and Love, Xterity xx

Xterity - a poster is a good idea - what you got in mind?

This would make a good LCA campaign I agree, lets see what Alun says. But we can certainly host a poster for people to download and print

Some photos of sand extracted from some bud - thanks to Chris who sent them to UKCIA

Certainly - use the LCA logo, please also add the web site www.lca-uk.org and the postal address LCA, PO Box 198, Norwich, NR3 3WB

Of course we'd like to see the poster before agreeing to print and publish it, but I doubt that will be a problem - please mail as pdf file if possible to AlunBuffry@lca-uk.org

I'm off line from 21st to 29th, so if we get it soon, we can print and distribute over the enxt few days

Hi, well Im not really very good at design so someone else will have to put the posters together. The ones on the LCA website look well designed. I would suggest two posters, an A5 double sided one to be posted through peoples doors in a format similar to the Cannabis and Jury Nullification flyer for easy printing, and an A4 one sided one to be put up on notice boards or fly posted.

I know you cant condone fly-posting but would anyone within the LCA mind if this were to happen? Without an explicit no, I will take it as a nudge-nudge, wink-wink do what you got to do to get the word out situation.

As for the wording, I have an old Mike Skipper flyer on my corkboard I got through my door a few years back, it has some good slogans on that we could use, such as:

Legalisation would reduce crime, protect our children and make our streets safer and cleaner.

Legalisation would save the country BILLIONS each year and increase revenue for better services and lower taxes.

People who suffer from a wide range of problems like MS, arthritis, pain and depression would benefit from being allowed to grow or obtain the plant, saving a fortune on National Health costs.

Also I think it should mention why this sand weed arose in the first place. As we all know it was a direct result of the police crackdown on cannabis. In an ironic twist of events the very police action that was meant to protect us has actually put us in a lot more danger.

And as for the A4 poster, I think a large cannabis leaf should be at the top beneath a slogan like; Urgent public health threat or something like that with some more text below the leaf explaining the situation with this stuff and at the bottom some contact info for the LCA and perhaps this website.

Anyone with any more ideas please post them here, this is a very urgent situation and we need these flyers put together ASAP so they can be checked by Alun, and then printed off and distributed.

One last note, if theres anyone in the Great Yarmouth area who can help me with getting these out it would be much appreciated. Theres nearly 40000 houses in Great Yarmouth, theres no way me and my brother will be able to print that many flyers off and get them out on our own. We are looking at a more realistic 2000-4000 houses if we have to do it on our own.

Peace, Xterity

right im ready to start putting something together....can somebody please gives me ideas and stuff to put on one of the suggested posters...
which direction to go in....i dont want to put something together for it to be wrong in one way or another.
so throw me everything u got....slogans - anthing.
and i will do my best...
love and light to all u tokers out there...

OK, suggest we start a new thread for the poster design. A forum problem seems to prevent me form splitting this thread, so I'll start the new one.

Don't you think it would be better to target the fliers through shops, pubs, clubs, concerts, in the streets, at colleges?

I would think one side ought to be WARNING GLASS_GRASS with a pic (and I'd be tempted to represent blood somehow) and a short explanation of what it may be and how it may harm - with some smaller print making the points about prohibition, lack of quality control and consumer protection and how legalisation would help. It needs a few words in large bold font to get the message out quick

I would favour an LCA membership form on the other side

Hi guys,
New here just today, but a long time smoker, over 30 years in fact.

I hate this gritty weed, i have made up my mind NEVER to buy it again.

Will stick to local growers, or start to grow my own.

We stopped smoking solid years ago, because of all the shit that went into it,
trust these gangsters to now fuck up our weed !!!!


Peace, a happy Christmas a good smoking to you all !!
