Hi all,

I've seen this stuff everywhere too. I thought it was slightly dodgy but it seemed to pass all the tests. I've been smoking it for a while with no ill effects.

I can't see that is seriously contaminated as it doesn't weigh anything. I think it may just have been packaged and transported badly.

Anyone else seen this ?

Dont kid yourself! You smoked it for a while with no ill effects? Well give it a few years and we will see how you feel...'Sexyhair' are you happy being a guinea pig? Your the exact reason why this stuff is still around, tbh its people like you who continuing to purchase this crap because you cant see that it is seriously contaminated.

What is the difference between not being seriously contaminated and contaminated? It is either contaminated or not, no in betweens! It has nothing to do with transportion or packaging btw, this is done intentionally.

Hi AK47 thanks for your comments.

I'll steer clear from now on, however It doesn't taste too bad so i'm not sure if it is the same.

One thing to be aware is that smoking anything has serious long term health effects anyway - chemical contaminants probably aren't gonna add anything new to the mix of Benzine, Formaldehyde, Ammonia and Tar that already exist in the tobacco smoke..

Just to bring it all in to perspective.

Dont mix with tobacco then! and grow, like ya never grew before

rule of thumb for contaminated green.........

"when in doubt.......throw it out"

Well said GG.

One thing about cannabis smoke, like any other smoke it will have effects on the lungs(probably not as bad as smoking tobacco), just take a look at the UKCIA aims and principles: [www.ukcia.org]

The key thing to remember is that whilst cannabis is under the Misuse Act we will never have reliable reports/studies or research which indicate that cannabis causes cancer or other illnesses. This has been proven time and time over with all the research taken place, some say it does and some say it doesnt! Only when cannabis users are free from persecution can we have reliable data which we can trust.

ive read this thread with a lot of interest....same story everywhere regarding shitweed....oh! erm gritweed! i have smoked every day for the past 22 years and i got a bad batch last year when it first hit our streets....oh my fkin god!!! what the fk are these twats thinking about when you grow perfectly good weed then coat in fkin SAND?!?!?! we're smoking that shite!!!....anyhow i smoked it.... it ripped my throat out and gave me a cough like a coal miner! it was so bad i quit smoking weed for 5 weeks til some homegrown came about. thankfully that was the only time ive been lumped with shitweed so i sympathise with all the other people who have posted here...but it has become increasingly harder to get hold of any local grown since?!
the fact remains..... mankind has been ingesting cannabis for thousands of years either medicinally, religiously or recreationally...both or all!. we will continue to ingest cannabis for the next thousands of years to come...so why dont these so called intelligent, intellectual, educated, entitled politicians actually wake up! smell the fucking coffee and stop burying their gormless heads in the sand(some of which we are fucking smoking!!!) in the vain hope that if we criminalise/classify/reclassify and then fkin rereclassify something then hopefully one day the good people of this world will just stop doing it!! get fking real!!!! stop insulting our intelligence and as opposed to restricting us of every possible human liberty.....actually LISTEN to the masses and then the masses might actually fkin listen to you?!?! you might then regain the trust and respect of the electorate you cheeky bastards claim to represent!! if the home secretary ever has the foresight to read this then please just quit your job (hypothetically) for just two minutes...actually think as a human being about the concerns raised in forums such as this... sleep on it, but THINK about it! wake up in the morning then go to work and HONESTLY and JUSTIFIABLY disclose to the free-thinking, intelligent, responsible cannabis smokers of this country your reasons for keeping this substance illegal?! you'll doubtlessly start your argument with the supposed 'mental health issues/risks'?? well as an ex-licensee/publican for 17 years and a cannabis smoker for 22 years... compare the health risks of ONLY alcohol against cannabis?! as a person that made a living out of getting people pissed everyday for nearly twenty years and watching how a LOT of those people suffered over their years of drinking and then knowing cannabis smokers who have smoked for decades! the comparisons will make your head spin faster than any 'superskunk'!! do the right thing and just be honest!
it is with immense thanks to forums like this one that the doubts and queries of each individual become shared and amalgamated, long may it continue! i am a committed member and salute the site owners.
right i'll jump down from the soapbar...sorry box! and skin up some nice locally grown green;) my repsect to EVERY smoker/toker...

dam straight ,,,,

PUT AN END TO CONTAMINATION, PLANT A SEED SAVE A NATION

Hey guys. Im new to this forum and have ended up here after hours of internet research.

This problem just seems to be never ending. I know some people say that contaminated cannabis has always been an issue but since late 2006 it has really seemed to escalate. i reside in the south west and it has become practically imposible to buy any bud which is not contaminated in some way. it seems to me that i share many of the fears of the people on this forum. i also have a few worrys of my own. Surely any tokers who have started smoking since operation kymer dont know the difference between good bud and bad bud? It seems to be a problem that is now getting so out of control, yet nothing ever gets mentioned about it in the media, the government seem completly ignorant of the matter and the message "dont buy contaminated weed" either doesnt seem to be reaching the public or is having completly no effect. Although there are videos on you tube many forums and such you can only really find them if you go looking for them. It also worrys me that this is never going to end. please somebody tell me how i can do something about this. Is spreading the word the only way because im fairly certain i cant reach the people who need to be reached!!!

The new contaminated weed seems to be everywhere. It seems to be crusted together with some kind of glue or powder. Could it be brix? however, brix is meant to taste sweet, this stuff tastes almost wall papery/plaster of paris or something. i only smoked a toke or two before i new it was contaminated and told the dealer before i bought it and didnt buy it. the problem is that good dealers who sell good cannabis dont seem to have weed 90% of the time. the dealers who do sell the contaminated bud have weed 100% of the time so they gain more customers because people who are either stupid, inexperienced or dont give a damn think always go to them cos its fucking easy.

It now gone too fucking far and i really want to get something done about this and i am willing to offer my help to people who want it.

Mithras

lmao , yeah true

Hey mithras, might be worth giving these a try. Print them out and get the reliable clean dealers to pop one in each baggy of clean weed they sell.

[stashbox.org]

hey mate. cheers for those, i like it.
However, the problem seems to be worsening and have so far been anable to find any dealer selling any weed that ive been glad to call clean 100% of the time. all the reliable dealers i knew that had been selling clean skunk have been forced to stop due to exetreme shortage and i wouldnt trust any of the other guys who are just wankers. One thing that confuses me is that alot of them sm0oke the contam themselves?!?! so have therefore been able to give out none of the cards. Not only that but have been forced to quit smoking as almost everytime i go to pick up its contam. So therefore i have come to the conclusion that either the entire weed industry in Britain is dirty or i just dont know where to find any clean bud now.

even after one month of smoking hardly any bud im still dying for a nice fat smoke of something 4 years old.

So sad to see this problem is still not abating. It's been months since I last posted here and everyone seems to be having trouble still; I know I am.

This sucks :(

As far as I know, Cambridgeshire is dry of clean smoke; that is, it is if yu don't know the rght people. I DO know them, they've just fucked me about big style. Was meant to have 2 1/2 clean oz ut aside, then the motherfucker sold it to someone else without bothering to tell me. I am so incredibly pissed off right now, and verging on becoming ill :(

Just spoken to some pals up north and they seem to be doing alright, its a lack of contacts now too cos a lot of local dealers have given up owing to complaints.

Ah well, drought aside, hope everyone is well :)

Fuck! This shit is still going on? Madness!

Anyone see that Dispatches last night? It was all about the shit wine houses put in their wine! At least were not alone! sic...

Yeh, i saw that too.

So why is there not some kind of program like that about weed? This country is still infested. When i tryed to pick up at reading the other week the vast majority of weed people had was contam. This has been completly ignored! But if the wine is contam call the fucking cops!!!! jesus.

I thought I should get keep everyone dated! It’s still around in mid Sussex, but harder and harder to detect until you've smoked it. I should have known, I’ve been following this for ages. Ahhhh my lungs and throat hurt. I've learnt my lesson! Hopefully (touch wood) it’s not too late as I have a little boy and another on the way that needs their daddy.

I defiantly think that cannabis should be legalised in the UK for this exact reason, I’d say 40% of the people I know smoke cannabis (from work, friends and family even old teacher’s mainly educated people.) Unfortunately our government won't legalise it due to the chance of them loosing votes, especially at the present time. I'm disgusted with everyone involved from suppliers to the government. If you want more money then put the price up, don't kill people! As for the government I have heard nothing in the way of a heath warning, if there was it wasn't very public!! This county has become a joke in so many ways! They dropped it to class C but in Jan 2009 it’s going back up class B (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/drugs/drugs-law/cannabis-reclassification/) your killing you our country MR BOWN!! It will cost tax payers even more by stretching the police force, prisons and your costing people lives not saving them! If it was legal then it can regulated and taxed. It’s already been proven that if you smoke cannabis pure then it’s less harmful than tobacco.

As already stated STOP buying it everyone, check it properly and confront your dealers tell them dealers NO! If there is no demand it may stop. Even if you have to give up for a bit, it’s better than ending your life early. We can have control of country if we all work together . I argue everyone to write to the government and local MPs to try and get this legalised, threaten them with your votes if you have too, seems to be the only time they listen to.

Anyway good luck everyone

hey every body, im from new york usa firstly ill just say that i have not had any of this sandy pot but i heard about it on marijuana inc.{a t.v. documentary} i was curious if this was real or just bs propaganda!aparently its real!!!! well i can feel ur pain!! i never had any problem getting good quality dank buds but the past 6 months have been tough! no sand but what appears to be pesticides{from chem. taist when smoking} or sugared... well for all reading this BE CAREFULL!!!! QUOTE FROM Geezzaa_UKC ''Wow sand... Least it wont harm you
Unlike some of the shit now starting to appear in weed so i will start with answers .'' WELL DUDE ,,IM SORRY,, BUT U DONT GET THE BIG PICTURE!!! besides the chem issue on the sand worry about the sand!!!!if this shit is sand which i dont doubt AS SAID EARLY ON SAND IS MADE OF SILICA which can be FATAL if inhaled !!! silica is a CARCINOGEN {CANCER CAUSING} i know i must sukk to not be able to get high but weigh the pro's and con's.... i have adhd so smoking for me is a must but if ur just a casual smoker try giving it a rest for a couple months and see what happens!!! for the REST of us if u smoke a bole put a piece of fabric over ur mouthpiece to catch the sand

OR if u smoke a joint or blunt

roll a ciggarette filter onto the end {im sure with enough sobriety you'll figgure it out!!!}
OR

JUST SMOKE A BONG !!! i know its not a portable but it garuntees that 100% OF ALL SAND will be removed!!! i wish i had a pot problem that was that simple to solve ,,sand is solid and wont burn{although will get red hot},, chems. on the other hand absorb into the pot and dont come out so easily ..... i know its just as much a matter of being fukkkked as health issues but besides the long term issue of cancer there's also the issue of hot sand in the lungs and throat leading to burns!! i dont know cuz i havn't had it but i would thingk if its in ur mouth is in ur throat and lungs man it must suk ,, well im outty this wasnt supposed to go on so long but oh, well adios stoners {hahahahaha just realized that was a play on words!!!!} bye

Last night i only had a few drags of skunk and this morning i wake up to a an extremely painful throat, so painful i find it hard to eat. I looked this up on google and found out that dealers sometimes spray skunk with very small pieces of glass to make the appearance better therefore causing the throat and lungs to hurt for a while. But after this painful lesson ive learnt to stick to weed, skunk sucks x

This was posted on another forum and I'm convinced I have had some of this stuff. I couldn't see any mention of it on this site so thought I would post this here....



" JWH-018

From now on, I'm sure we will see an increase in weed (and solid,) with relatively new "contaminants".


Over the last couple of years, German chemists have synthesised more than 200 compounds that mimic the effects of THC and other natural cannabinoids. These pharms are being patented and tested. They are, effectively, synthetic cannabinoids and a few look to be moving towards first stage, human testing as anylgesic, transdermal patches.

A few are now available online as Research Chemicals (particularly Jwh-018 and Jwh-073) and Jwh-018 has been found to be the active ingredient in the "Spice" range of legal-high "herbal" products (it's very nice in "Spice Gold" ).


This is all breaking news and the Jwh-XXX carbon/hydrogen analogues will no doubt soon be banned/controlled in some way.


In the meantime, Jwh-018 is very similar in recreational effect to THC and, may still be legally possessed and supplied in most jurisdictions (including the US and UK).


The compound (white/clear, crystaline, slightly sticky,) is easily available at 99%+ purity from laboratories in China for US$ 7,500 per KG.


NOW!


Given that the effective dose of Jwc-018 (to get a good "smoke-the-whole-bong-of-top-notch-weed" type of hit, that will last you at least a good 2 - 3 hours,) is in the region of 0.5 milligramme to 1.0 milligramme (NB: that's about 1mg or 1/1000th of a gramme for a good hit) and given that the above prices for a kilo mean that US$1:00 will buy about 133mg of Jwh-018 (less than US$00:01 - i.e. less than one cent per effective dose).......



.......How long will it be before the streets are flooded with "cannabis factory" weed that has been stripped of its THC crystals/trychomes (to make good hash with and hence profit from,) and then "sprayed" with a solution of Jwh-018 at, say, 50mg per 7 grammes (1/4 oz,) of "skunk"?


You can now, basically, turn an ounce of shitty, seedy, bagweed into a "killer skunk" by imbuing it with US$2:00 worth of Jwh-018 and no kid-on-the-street would be doing anything except ranting about how grit/lead/sugar/silicone/whatever weed is a thing of the past and the "new" weed is "clean" and a good buzz.


Or, peeps can simply smoke 1mg (1/1000g) of pure Jwh-018 in a crack pipe (or vape it,) and bake away for a few hours.

It won't be long before it's banned, but in the meantime (6 - 18 months,) I'm convinced that "Jwh-weed" will become increasingly common.

I've taken Jwh-018 through "Spice Gold" and I like it very much as a good, cannabis alternative. I will be trying the pure compound soon.







NB.......


Jwh-018 may not be safe and may be as cancerous as tobacco or worse.


Personally, I doubt it's as bad as fags, but you never know in the short term until full and proper tests are conducted - I take hope that it looks as if Jwh-018 will soon commence stage 1 human testing.


Whether it's worse than smoking/ingesting lead, silicone, henna, camel shit, glass, rubber, tar, etc. etc.?


Again, I doubt it.


But, I'm not a chemist, nor medically qualified.

Hopefully it's not a new Thalidomide.


Be careful peeps and be nice to each other.

It's a whole new world out there.

And it's getting more interesting. "

i dont think we have contamination at my areas but there are new products coming in like skunk 2 and meny more

i was told that the asian population in the bradford area who grow weed for profit spray their plants in silicon. some use sand because they really dont care/. the silicon speeds up the drying process, but stops it burning, the sand adds a hell of a lot of weight and absorbs the moisture, but it hurts your lungs. nowaday, youve got to think about where it comes from, and the morals behind the person whose providing it
