Hello To Everyone Right this contaminated shit is going to far it is widespread through the British isles it seem a bit like the 80's with the coke contamination which was done by the government to enable the outlaw/Criminalization of the substance cos ppl died from that and i dont wana start scaremongering but it seems like there doing it again with weed controlled contamination until peep stuff the lid so the can outlaw and Criminalize it up there with the big boys Smack Crack etc

hollah back with any thoughts


peace

Hi All,

I haven't seen any grit weed for ages, until last night when a friend purchased a sizeable amount. Luckily our man has taken it back but this bad news (i'm in Bedfordshire).


I have got a couple of other buds that are from different suppliers. They both seem fine, although one is a little wet. However, me being paranoid i've been taking a closer look. They pass all the usual Grit tests, and don't smell, or smoke too bad.. However if i rub my figures on them I can see very tiny sparkly bits when i hold tmy figures to the light. Not a large amount on 1 and slightly more on the other. They don't crunch and aren't noticeable in any other way. Is it contaminant or is it just natural crystals?

Please rub your buds and check please... n let me know.

Waiting for replies...

A

no doubt its contam - its just finer types now that you cant crunch and hey guess what probably more harmful cos its smaller particles getting stuck..


anyways I kind of agree amsterdamfingaz

Another way to look at it is..

Weed on youth makes them relaxed and lazy - they wanna sit at home and play shootem up on playstation...

Take away the weed you have lots of angry little kids running around wanting to rip off ppls heads.. (but wait you can do this legally in iraq)

ahh yes the army figures are well low kind of makes sense on this angle dont you think ?

how can you be sure?

Surely if you rub any decent bud, you'll see the crystals on sweaty figures under a light?

well a few ways to find out

1. the dust test - let some dry then shake it or brush hands through it over a clean glass or over some paper - do u see dust ? (what is this dust )

2. the smell test - whilst u smoking it - does the smoke coming off smell like weed or like plastic or rubbish burning ?

3. the ash that falls off - see how dark this is the darker ones normally shows signs of contam

4. tingling feeling on tongue cheeks or lips after excessive smoke - no weed should do this but some of the skunk out here does..

5. breathing chest throat issues - does it feel like its scraping your throat ?

I've stopped smoking it now - i fear it is some kind of contaminant.

Can anyone confirm that clean buds, when rubbed & chopped by hand, don't leave tiny, and i mean tiny, sparkles on the figure when you look under a bright light...

I've never examined any bud this closely before...

i can confidently tell you that this brix weed is wide spread all across europe. unfortunitly it does not look like it is gonna get any better, with the police busting all the viet growers and other big growers in britain sellers have been left short + amsterdam laws are now cracking down on the amount grown other there so they keep all the good stuff and send the crap other here ( yes this stuff is contaminated at source and sent other ). there a a few different contaminates some mentioned on this site others not. they range from brix ( a sugar solution spread on just before havesting), silica sand, fibre glass and also simply filling a bath with lemonade and soaking the bud in it all the sugar is absorbed into the bud and then its dried. the overall effect of this is to add additional weight to your buy. this stuff is not even being sold cheap (dont get me wrong this stuff should not be sold at all ), 3300 a kilo im told. the overall effect on the market is that all prices are going up, real import ( if you can get it ) is im told being sold at 3800+ a kilo ( very much worth the extra money but this just flies out and if your not camped out you'l easily miss it) this price hike means the street consumer will being paying £20 for 2.8g (basically £25 pound eigths). the price of cannabis has remained resonable consistant over the past ten years and as with all things in demand the price goes up its just a shame the price has risen because of smugglers flooding the market with crap meaning good bud is rare and hard to get.


DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP. IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE MOUTH ULCERS PLUS OVER RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES.

the only way this will stop is by demand dropping. if your gagging for a smoke go to buzz mail or like wise sites and get yourself something tastey and enjoyable, or fund your local growers (assuming what they got is nice). avoid this crap at all costs check everything you buy by simply tasting a bit if its sugary or gritty in any way give it back and tell your man his stuff is SHIT and suggests if he cannot get something clean then he should get nothing att all. if you cannot last the time it will take for something nice to come from a site source out some bush weed (weaker i know but at least its clean)



im currently conducting experiments on the adverse effects smoking these contaminates can have on your health and will when finished post my findings. if anyone else is carry out like wise experiments and would be extremely grateful for any data/findings/information you have :)

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON FINDING SOMETHING NICE

All burning plant matter is potentially damaging to the lungs and resp system.

I am absolutely DEVASTATED ! For 5 years i have been enjoying smoking skunk with my friends and on my own when times are hard and stressful. Now these dirty, filthy immigrants that dont just come into our country to take all our hard earned taxes thru these daft benefits they find ways to get more money by contaminating drugs to make them weigh more !

Iv just come out of hospital after 4 days because i couldn't breathe after smoking a Q of this sh*t over a week and trust me its lethal to your chest and MUST NOT be smoked. Now iv been told i need to stop smoking completely now or face wearing an Oxygen mask for the rest of my life in just a few years to come and im only 23 and not a heavy smoker.

This is a real blow and i am gutted i must change so sudden. Now iv given my advice i would like someone to give me some. If i made sure the skunk i got was in no way contaminated and i rolled a small size reefer not a king size, the smallest paper u can buy with no tobacco just pure skunk and only did it say 3 days a week, would i still be putting my lungs/health in serious danger ?

Regards.

Cdstroke. Sorry to hear about your trauma.

Can you go into more details about what happened? what type of Grit weed was it? the crunchy stuff ? what symptoms did you get etc? What did the docs actually say ?

Would really help all of us..

Thanks

hi
yes this weed is all over the country its stupid.i bought an oz of this crap and tried to smoke it 4 days later my chest is now feeling really rough.

even in the midlands it almost at every damn door who smokes.
i spoke to one guy about this and he says well it sells ,that really miffed me off its just all about money and thats it .

my advice is tell those dealers stick it up there bottom and stop taking the mickey out of the people who enjoy a smoke but if you can the best thing to do is go get drunk untill your own rdy . dont spend your hard earnd money on this
and hopfeuly they may realise what cocks they are killing off the people who keep them in cash.

the worst thing on all of this sugar glass and other contaminated weed is the kids are buying it and have no idea . this has to stop

Whilst I am genuinely sorry for what happened to you; I see this as no reason to start hurling racist comments about. It isn't abut race, it is about GREED and NAIVETY, plain and simple. If people weren't greedy, they wouldn't have a market, and if people were not naive (which admittedly is thanks partly to the gov), then they wouldn't be buying. The warnings have been about for over 18 months now.

I daresay many of those that treated you in hospital for that week were 'dirty, filthy immigrants'... Let's not use this as a thinly-veiled reason to be racist.

Hmm, sorry I missed that "dirty immigrants" comment, it was an offensive racist remark quite unsuited to UKCIA.

Whoever is doing this contamination is doing it for money, no other reason. I doubt very much it's some low paid and probably oppressed imigrant.

Someone trusts their government just a little too much, i would'nt be surprised at all if it was them contaminating the weed. I mean they have'nt exactly been publicising the matter have they.

Are you guys still getting this crap weed?

The stuff coming out from where I am right now is completely top quality, with no grit at all.

Re: Skunk Contamination

The local market has been saturated now with reasonable quality weed; still not a patch on what I'm used to, but far better than most of what I have seen around here in the last year or so.

What most people would call a 9/10, I call it a 6 or 7, but it's clean, and reasonably profesionally grown.

I've been sold some contaminated cannabis. No sand or grit, and it's not "sweet bud." The buds look nice, and are dry; but they look too hard and unnatural. They smell a lot like some of the sweet bud or grit weed that's been going around.
When burned, either in a joint or in a bong, the ash left behind is very hard, black, and oily. When the ash is fondled you can feel the grease left in it. Obviously I've stopped smoking this bud, and have been trying to test it to see what the hell is on it. Whatever it is is water soluble (i'm evaporating the water now to get a specimen of the substance) , and unburned it's transparent which makes it near enough impossible to see. If people are worried about shards of glass in bud, which clearly don't burn, what the hell is this shoe polish-like substance doing to our lungs? I have samples of the bud, the ash, and (hopefully, if all goes well with the evaporation) the substance added. If anyone has the expertise to study and identify this substance, please contact me and I'll provide samples.
