I just wanted to give a heads-up that I've seen some absolutely banging skunk at first inspection. Dry, crystally, NOT AT ALL gritty to chew on, smokes well, hasn't been sprayed with any sort of glue/adhesive (certainly not noticeably) but upon inspection I could see the TINIEST bright bright bright reflective bits. Way too small and metallic looking to be THC - I know my THC and that aint it.

So I'm warning you that they may be decreasing the size to a point that it is no longer detectable by the crunch test, neither is it sweet, not does it look damp/sticky.....

This is really very bad as with the grit weed before the particles were, on the whole, too large to enter the lungs. With such small pieces (we're talking 5-10 microns,) they are easily small enough to infiltrate your lungs.

This makes me so mad, fortunately I have a friend who has some awesome homegrown who would never do any of this shit to his lovely plants and I buy that up when I can. I don't trust any weed anymore unless I know the guy who grew it and EVEN THEN I'm taking my 100x microscope to it "in the field".... and bringing it home to my scope with upto 600x zoom.

It's become part of my inventory - I bought myself a 60-100x zoom microscope on ebay for a few quid, built in light etc - you just plonk it on top of your sample, although it's not the best thing in the world, when I inspected the weed I mentioned at the start, sure enough I could see ridiculously reflective particles that made the THC crystals look as big as houses......

Well what I do to test it is to knock a load of crystals off it onto a non reflective, dark and smooth surface, then check it, the scope is slim so can fit in your pocket, perfect for when you want to go see your dude to score and you want to be sure.

If they're the kind of person who won't let you do it, fuck em, go to someone who will let you look.

Most importantly people, if you suspect it's been sprayed, well even just suspecting it is enough reason not to buy it. You don't need the weed, don't settle for this shit because there is nothing else, just get yourself a bottle of beer, kick back and relax until some real weed comes in, then buy as much of it up as you can and eek it out.....

I got stuck with a niner of the heavy grit shit, but I just count my losses and move on, there's no way I'd sell this shit to anyone, not even my worst enemy - ask yourself, would you let your own partner, brother, sister or mother smoke this shit..... No way.

Keep it real.

rather worryingly, a mate of mine turned up 2nites ago with some weed off a dealer i dont use, passed grit-test but was so so so sweet and sugary...o well he felt like a prick when he was told he wasent allowed to smoke it in mine and soon plodded off home alone and upset with only himself to poison with nasty weed as we all got cained on good clean bud!

on the upside he now says he wont pick up off the guy he got it from

Just purchased some red hair few nights back? Anybody seen any contaminated weed of this strain? No sweet taste in the mouth wen you chew it or crunchiness. im baffled!

Personally i've found that even if you can't detect a crunch or anything, if you can feel it rag your throat to shit after a couple of spliffs, it's probably tainted, so you use your judgement!

Not at all, if weed isn't flushed before harvest it can have a rough chlorophyl taste a bit like cardboard dog shit. Doesn't mean anything nasty has gone in it.

Well i wasn't really talking about taste, just i've found that most draw i can get hold of/my friends will have seems to give me a fucked throat the next day, and isn't the case on the odd occasion i smoke another friends homegrown. So i have reason to believe that the stuff going round that is probably contaminated is likely to let your throat know about it the following 24 hours, i may be wrong, but it's worth bearing in mind, i'm not smoking anymore cos i'm a vocalist and it's not doing me any favours at the moment!

Recently I bought an 8th of this very light green bud. I thought it was some high batch which it kinda was because it did get me stoned. Only problem was it tasted terrible when smoked, it didn't burn properly leaving the ash to stick to the top of the joint. I knew it was suspect as soon as I noticed it happening, it just looked to good as well compared to the normal batch I get around my way. It passed the grit bite test and I tried to feel if there was any glass beads on the bud but they felt to small as I had real grit bud before. I know my experiences of bud don't really mean much but I reckon the more people who post their experiences of the recent bud situation the more likely we can link up the different types of grit bud depending on their characteristics. Anyways im gonna finish blazing this tasty joint and hope everyone can relax again with some real nice bud not this grit shit, it makes me sick.

If youhave any doubt about the weed your gunna buy AT ALL ,,,Dont buy it !!
We all know what good weed should look like ,, Whenyou see a fat oz of proper green you dont even need to test it .You know ......Use your smokers instinct....And dont lie to yourself because thats all you can get !!,,,,,,,


Be excellent to eachother!!

Seriously, invest in a microscope. 100x is quite suitable for field use and like I mentioned before, I got one that will quite literally fit in your pocket, you can wham it out and put it straight on top and see what the real deal is. If you see nice healthy sparkly globules at the end of strands, looking like mushrooms then this is what you want, mmm I've got lots of that a the moment, all for myself of course lol.

If you see perfectly evenly sized beads then don't touch it with a bargepole. They are usually larger than THC crystals but I have seen one that had such small even size, metallic looking particles that were smaller than THC globules, so small it was hard for 100x, more is in order for this crap. By scraping it over a smooth black surface and angling it around I was able to quite clearly see small metallic looking particles in with the golden thc crystals. When I say small I mean small, you wouldn't detect it if you didn't do this....

Next on your inventory list is a 600x microscope for home, you've checked it with the 100x and it looked ok, now it's time to be sure. This is your health we're talking about, what is £40 when it ensures your health......

If you can't verify the sources then this is the least you can do to ensure your safety if you intend on smoking for the forseeable future.

I'm lucky, I live in hippy's ville so there's lots of lovely, untainted Jack Herer, Pink, Grapefruit, I had some Widow and even some Bubblegum, Orange Bud.

Lovely stuff and clean, clean because the people on the grow are the people who also smoke it......the only way to be sure.

Stay safe people, don't let them win. You are the consumer, you set the standards, influence all you can to say NO to this over and over until they realise we aren't the ignorant, naive nation they think we are. We only get this shit because we're the only people willing to smoke it, just like gak bar.....

It's a damn shame.

I've got the same problem in Sunderland -- nothing available but soap or gritty chopped up bits of who-knows-what with added skunk. I make the stuff into butter but I still don't want any adulterants in my stuff. I'd be willing to travel anywhere in the north of England to buy clean stuff, if anybody knows somebody who can help me?

Seriously, we are off the grit here in Helsinki, it is good green again. Thanks, I am so stoned. The problem tend to be bigger in UK and Sweden (more smokers). Maybe, we all should start growing our own now, and stop talking about it, instead of doing water-, taste-, microscope- and light tests on the grass we buy. If the shit we put our money on is bull, why not spend that cash on a growing kit. Then we got our habits take care of, and we can supply to the market with clean nice grass, and earn.

Sweet high thoughts...

Unfortunately the majority of people are not in a situation where they can grow..... so what do they do!

Those of us fortunate enough to grow need to spread the wealth at regular prices, but clean green is a commodity now and you pay for it, people are charging £180 ALL THE WAY, no matter how much you get. They exacerbate the situation by making the decent green out of reach for most, unless you can blow that sort of money daily, so kids are still going to be on the streets, looking for their bit, because they can't find any elsewhere, it's these people that need the help, the microscopes, the resources to ensure that what they get is clean....

It's easy for me, I can get anything, but I know people just 2 miles away who haven't seen anything but grit for months......

Well, I know what you mean, everyone can not grow, and most young smokers has only one or two rather sketcy dealers. BUT! Supporting arseholes that sells grit weed, is also supporting other bad shit, a guy that lifts that much weight probably also traffic people and other stuff. Better to buy a soap bar than letting them sell this shit. No new health warnings from France shows it is serious as hell, smoking this as many do, and I have, will reslut in hard core health problems later. I am freaked out, smoked maybe a 10 all in all.

God bless.

I'm just after hearing about this grit weed 2 weeks ago, and just found out thats all I've been smokin for the last 2 months! Bastards. How likely is it that I'll have any long term damage? I'm totally bummed out over it.

This shit sand weed is now in Ireland. First we were stuck with Soap Bar for years now we're gettin this shit.
I know all of you say buy off a reputable dealer but that's a load of bollox, I got it off my best friend n she got it off someone she has got it off for ages, it's just the luck of the draw.And this stuff is normal extortionate prices, €300 an Oz, fuckin rip off. As soon as our Gobshite Taoiseach decriminalises the stuff we might be less at risk.
I'm still unsure whether it is sand or not (I think I just don't wanna believe it!), you can't feel the sand when it's on your fingers, only when u put it on your teeth.. Can someone tell me cause I don't wanna throw it away if its not....!

Well,

Yesterday I saw some gritted weed :(.

You all recognise the dark green, wet feeling, sweet tasting bud (to chew on) that's been sprayed with Glucose/Brix+, right. You can usually spot this stuff by looking at the stalks where it's been cut too - there is usually brown or black globs at the base of the stalk (presumably where all the shit has seeped out) and the inside of the stalk near the clipping points is nearly always brown....

It shouldn't be brown.

Well they are now adding grit to that stuff, my guess is that they've let people get comfortable in thinking, ahhh this sugar stuff isn't so bad, at least it's not got grit in it, so now disguised just as sweet stuff people who are smoking it are just going to assume it's the same.

Unfortunately, it was full of grit, but much, much finer than it used to be. There was still the crunch........

It was returned to the dealer, promptly and because of the assumption that the sugar stuff has already been fucked with, they aren't going to add grit AS WELL, he's been smoking it unaware for a week.......

Needless to say I can't stress enough how serious this is and I really hope people stop smoking this, EVEN THE SWEET stuff. Yeah it's not grit but you don't know WHAT it is, fuck that......

You might feel fine now but dude, in ten years time you'll regret smoking this stuff, then you'll wish you'd said NO!!!

Well have some control, get some balls and if it isn't pure, clean green, tell them to fuck off and stop buying the shit before you knock some teeth in...... DON'T SMOKE!!!! That sounds terrible coming from me but I'd rather go without than smoke something adulterated with, well, you never really know.

Peace.
