There is shit loads of import about here.......thats all i can get hold of here. All contaminated bollocks.

also wasn't operation keymer in autumn 2006 the cause of this, it cracked down many of the cannabis farms in the uk, this resulted in a huge flood of contaminated weed from the netherlands

yo whatup i been bunnin the chronic for years mate,i used to know a few connected people and they used to get me some amazing stuff man you know the stuff that came in vacuum packs and when u smelled it it slightly smelled of sick not in a bad way u understand just raw potent chronic.when you smoked it ur whole body relaxed and it would make your mouth water like your chewing a fruitella.
about 2 yrs ago i started to see changes ive seen sand ,sugar,grit.oil.greese even the powder out of these long lightbulbs in the streetlights u no if u touch it i hurts u!
i am waiting till i see some real peng a leng a i am disgusted by this who is doin it? why did it change ?dont know but i am gonna grow 2 plants and just make them super chronic thats the only way if you get any of the real chronic remember smoke a big ass reefa for me sweet!

Well it's known that the majority of contaminated bud is from holland, everything from glass to hard ash has been from our dutch counterparts - dont get it twisted these people that are doing this are not smokers nor do they care about the health of millions. The weed being grown in the uk by the vietnamese is supposed to be top quality product without any contaminants, a few people have wrongly claimed that it is the vietnamese who are to blame for the contamination but the truth is that they are the ones busted every week as you read in the press. Maybe they are busted for growning clean weed which they dont want on the market to cause further dissatisfaction among the cannabis community.The amount of viet-farms raided is unbelievable, they have been here for many years and most operated with no interference up until operation kymer.

I have seen vacum sealed packs from holland and the people that sell it keep it sealed so whoever is buying it cannot test the bud physically but can only look at it, if the person decided to buy it then they open it and find out it is crap! The person is lumbered with it and probably forced to sell it on because they invested so much money into it.

The weed market in the UK is messed up, get used to it because people are still buying this crap and as a result of that the bastards doing this are making money off of our misery-they will continue to do it as long as people buy it.The youngsters today especially contribute to this situation, they dont have much experience which means they will get high off 0.01 percent thc and they will think the contamibis is good. We really need a legalised system for cannabis so that these youngsters cannot purchase weed and contribute to the scizophrenic reefer madness and more importantly to put these heartless criminal enterprises who run this out of business.

I do agree holland WAS the main importer of contaminated cannabis to the UK back when it first hit us, but there has been a sharp rise in UK grown contaminated bud especialy here in scotland, as for buyin imported packages in large quantities i wouldnt really know but testin it is surely a must??

Hi I'm new here and I have just skimmed through some of the comments on this thread as its getting quite big now as obviously this seems to be quite a hectic issue. So I apologise if a repeat anything that has already been posted.

I too am from the South East, and unfortunatly have come across the much hated "Gritty" Skunk aka Contamibis. Coated with sand, some fine some not so, and sugar too. It seems rife all over, and I probably got my first batch 2 years ago. Is it me or does there seem to be an alarming coincedence that we are seeing growing numbers of mental health issues with the use of weed and the appearance of this stuff on the streets. Some one mentioned a good point about youngsters not being experienced enough and really only knowing and smoking this contaminated skunk and if reports are true it seems a large percentage of these sufferers are youngsters. I mean if they smoke that everyday like I use to smoke when I was younger then thats got to screw you up some way or other.

Would be nice to see some non-biased news reports on this travisty.

[uk.youtube.com] - video about gritweed, not many have seen this

Hello. I too have smoked unknowingly (and later knowingly) grit weed. I am currently seeing a specialist due to what I feel is a lump in my throat. I have yet to tell the specialist that I smoked contaminated cannabis as the last time I approached my old GP I was brushed off. At the moment the specialist is ruling out a stomach ulcer which can cause the muscles of the throat to tighten, however I came across this article today;


[www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk]

So when I goto see the specialist again I will be taking a print out of this article and informing him of my concerns. I will report back here with the results and if it is the case that the contaminated cannabis has caused a lump, I will be taking my old GP to court and grassing on every dealer that sold me the contaminated weed.

If your health situation is that bad you could probably claim compensation and kick your old GP out of the job for ignoring your concerns. Other than that you should of really stopped buying and smoking that crap a long time ago, i feel sorry for whats happened but it just goes to show how cannabis under prohibition will never be controlled - fighting for legislation or fighting prohibition is the only answer.

Is it just in ireland, or is everybady getn bud with this powder stuff all over it. Its not silica but when smoked the smoke u intake doesnt taste right and the smoke is also very hot? Havnt see 1 bit of clean weed now in a long time. Everythin i hav seen, orther than the odd bit of homegrown has been covered in some sort of powder.the greasy stuff is also doin the roundsa again, except this time the bud isnt as damp and sticky. Still alot of grease coming from the ash tho. Its now getn beyond a joke, every1, and i mean every cannabis user in this town is smokin contaminated weed and they wil continue to do so because its all they can get.

Well nothing new in Ireland i see. The one thing i have said for the past two years is DONT BUY IT and this is the last time i will say it, if you dont buy it then they will be forced to bring in clean bud, theres no point in one or two people refusing to buy it has to be a collective thing. Stiener, get used to it mate because if people continue to buy it they will continue to supply it, when i had problems of contamination i stopped smoking and id advise you to do the same because its just not worth fcking up your health so that these people can make more profit at your misery.

I just wonder how all these people posting about contamination still continue to buy it - didnt you get the message over the past two years or does someone actually have to die for the message to get across?

If someone took a piss in your beer would you still drink it? Well ask your self the same question with the hard ash and grit it may not be as bad as someone taking a leak in your bud but its more hazardous for your health - who knows what else they done to it?!?!??!

for any of you guys that think this skunk contamination is a recent thing - THINK Again!!!! I used to be a heavy dope smoker back in the day and I can tell you from experience that it's been going on for at least 10 years if not 50. Call me cynical but there's just too much evil that's gone on in the drugs business that literally spans centuries. The difference now is that it's more widespread and more talked about that's all. The media won't shed light on the issue as much as they should cos the evil British empire and its media wing have, and always will try to keep a lid on the entire affair. Trust me recreational drug consumption and chemical warfare are two very closely related issues in the eyes of the government who are essentially the root of the evil. If u aint prepared to grow your own then stop using this shite skunk. Be warned keep smokin it and you will evetually lose your marbles...

Just to add my 2 cents worth...

An old dealer turned up at mine saying he had some 'boom'. As I was standing in my doorway, I couldn't inspect it closely, but bit the bottom of the bag to test for grit - none, Tasted ok, not salty or sugary (actually tasted of nice bud),was a good amount, and was dry...

When I inspected it indoors,I got a sinking feeling. Parts of the bud were crusty and hard and the inside of the nugs was a bit brown, like mouldy bud.

The whole thing looks like it was coated in something, as a lot of the leaves and hairs look 'moulded' together in a very artificial way. It's very difficult to describe what this stuff is like, I've never encountered it before. When I concentrated on the smell, it had a weird acrylic-y after smell, and the buds don't smell much when you actually have one in your hand.

I built up a tiny zoot to test it, and after a couple of tokes, knew it was wrong. Very chemical taste, not at all nice. The ash wasn't sticking together like that other stuff, and it didn't seem particularly oily/greasy, so I ruled that strain out. Even though I can't prove what's wrong with it, I chucked it, as I knew I wouldn't be able to relax smoking it (don't have a camera, so I couldn't snap it for you all).

Anyways, look out for this stuff, it looks deadly.

Theres no other way to say this but it serves you right, if you dont inspect your weed nowadays you can be expected to be taken for a mug. Dont believe the crap that dealers come out with, there just trying to sell their cheaper than ever asbestos covered skunk. Mate look at your weed before you buy it.

Also you said there 'hard, infact rock hard' so if they hard like rocks how the hell are you crumbling it? And why would you smoke buds which are rock hard knwing some lowlife has put something onit?

Dont buy off commericial dealers and you wont have this problem, so simple! If there is no homegrown about then dont smoke its not very hard.

Firstly, it took me quite a while to identify this as contaminated - I can spot grit weed/brix shit a mile off, but this contamination looks quite sophisticated. The buds were only as hard as super dry skunk, so it was crumbling fine.

I wasn't born yesterday, so I'm fully aware of the shit that dealers spout. However, this guy has only ever come up with good stuff in the past, and he tokes, so I was quite suprised it wasn't good.

The main reason I posted this, was to warn others to look out for it's unique characteristics. I could have just said "don't smoke unless it's homegrown", but then I wouldn't be sharing much information, would I? I'm guessing that's the point of this massive thread. And yes, I do only have myself to blame - obviously.

Oh i thought you meant the buds were literally 'rock' hard, because i have heard of people talk about rock hard buds before.

If you was born yesterday you would still be in the hospital mate ;) Do not trust anyone you call a dealer, you probably have friends who are dealers which can be trusted but anyone else dont trust their word.

Thankyou for the warning MetalBunny and the information, it is appreciated and im sure it will warn others about this sad situation. I do honestly hope you dont come across this type of weed again but please educate others, this is a serious problem and no one other than the cannabis community cares so it is upto us to stop buying this.
