LOL.. at least the sellers are honest! From their web page:-
'Brix Weight Increaser

This product is clearly aimed at cheats.'

This is amazing, I'm totally gobsmacked. This needs taking off the market now.

If you can find it I'll get rid of it.

But it explains the sweet tasting weed that doesn't burn very well, harmless it may be it's still unacceptable. Anyway, how do you know smoking sugar is harmless?

I'd have thought that smoking sugar releases almighty carbon. Hardly good for the lungs.

Ok i also have this problem in the surrey area and it proper sux luckily i have been able to get around the gritty bud problem buy not buying it and a few people i know can get the decent stuff, so all hope is not yet lost.

I have heard a rumor on where this crap bud is coming from but im not sure how true it is, basically i hear that it's the tai people that are around running the tanning salons that are just about in every town n city, what they are doing is growing bud on the sly as the heat from the lamps cant be picked up due to the tanning booths so everything appears normal, as for what they put on it i aint got a clue but id like to know. If this it true at least we have the start of the chain n can try to put a stop to it, if anyone has any other information then clue me in.

peace

still no gritweed in my neck of the woods in S Wales!!!

You do realise that tobacco contains a lot of sugars naturally, no?
The conversion of starch to sugar is a natural part of the curing process.

No, I didn't know that. So Brix makes cannabis as safe as tobacco then?

I don't know if Brix is in any way dangerous Nigfis, but it's certainly a rip off product intended to deceive tokers. And it explains the sweet tasting stuff that doesn't burn properly.

I think you're jumping to conclusions Derek.

1st time poster here on this forum been looking at it alot since i came across this grit shit so i thought i would share my tale.

God i have read through loads up to page 7 and im going to get to the end of this im pretty scared.
basically ive been a smoker for 14 years after being a hash smoker that ended up turning to shit and now my beloved green is being messed with.
Im from that lovely inland spa town that has famous tea shops in north yorkshire
i normally have a good supply from a trusted grower but the other week we ran out now we wont have any for 3 weeks till the crop is ready, so we tried another supply and guess what turned up that fucking evil grit shit it was a nice batch of bubblegum till some sick bastard sprayed it with something the gritty test in the mouth works but im even worried about that shit even being in my mouth.So it seems this shit has only reched me now ive heard there is loads about and im struggling to convince people it may be harmful remember that people have payed money for this and want their moneys worth so some are risking their health i will not go near this but it seems this may be the start of the end of my love affair with mary jane.

hi Worriedweedburner

Whe you say the grit test "works", mean you feel the grit in your teeth? It's not nice is it and it's very hard to get rid of. The only way to clean your mouth is to wash it out with alot of water, otherwise you'll be crunching glass beads for ages and maybe even damge your teeth in the process.

Still better than smoking it though.

Yeah its real nasty on my teeth and my mate could here the crunching a metre away
this is really messed up and the long term effects haven't shown up yet obviously like the youngsters who smoke that evil soapbar theres going to be some wierd respiratory illnesses later on it life for all the contamination.
Well im going to have to go see my cousin in the countryside where they grow some nice silver blue which i know isn't tainted.

Hope everyone is ok and staying away from this potential killer

I got something like GRIT WEED.
Bought yesterday in Helsinki from a to me not very known dealer. Saw the warnings on the web, and wanted to check. The weed looks ok, not like the pics, but when eaten it feels a little like sand, crunches, but not that much as described here. The weed smells good and tastes perfect when smoked. I put some in a glass of water, and after some hours small sugerlooking partcles has fell down to the bottom, while the grass i floating on the surface.

QUESTION FRIENDS: Is this grit weed, or is it just BRIX or sugar, or normal. Does anyone have safe homegrown that they can test in a galss of water to see is anything sinks to the bottom.

Anyone got a test that will tell???

GOD damn if we got Grit weed up in Finland now. I will pretend buying more tehn, and feed that dealer with glass before beating him bad.

johanese,
The best test is to get some of the 'trichomes' between two pieces of glass mate. It'll scratch glass.

ok so, this skunks been busting round for about2 months now, had a few batches u know henrys n daughters, and some of it seems to be worse than others but hey i paid for it so i smoked it and il admit i was well stoned and smelt and tasted nice. It was until i got a Bad Batch and thought fuck it no more of this. When me and my fellow tokers VERY 1st saw this we thought, bonus look at those crystals until we tasted it haha!

Ive got like 2 dealers my main and the fallback guy...... My main dealer is a seasoned pro, middle aged etc and not your typical chav 20something, he said as its all he can get hold of he wont sell it, i shook his hand at that! rang up the faall back who has sorted me with some kickass bud, stinky stickyish phat 8ths and as soon as i rang him the 1st question i asked was is this that sandy shit? He said no and met him for a daughter got home and sucess!!!!! it was such a relief to get the good ol' bud back! It got me smashed by the way....

To be honest i just wantd to give ya my 2p worth! but it just goes to show that if u go thru dealers - dealers you can get good bud somehow, and that some dealers who toke as well wont try and palm shit off....

PS what is this shit in this grittybud?

glass silica or sand i mean its all gunna hurt ur lungs but i do hope it aint glass,or silica i heard u get holes in your lungs! i mean ive tasted it etc n im 90% sure its sand..

peace out, roll a phatty, n fck the government and those crooks!

Oh yeah i forgot to describe this grit shit basically i was told it was bubblegum and im a seasoned smoker who travels around europe and elsewhere so i know my strains quite well.It is quite fruity smelling no funny odour or anything like that or any oily residue it justs looks quite frosty and is slightly pressed making me think its definatly import but the deal looked real suspect so i did the grit test i had heard about from a smoker in germany who had come across this shit and said something about fucking with the weight and lo and behold it is this evil shit that has been sprayed somehow right to the core of the buds it fucking insane how these pricks must be spraying some really nice ladies with some i think high pressure aerosol silica shit im a health cocious smoker and its pure evil.
This stuff looks like some top grade weed and people are struggling to get their heads round it and are not that savvy with forums on the web the government has fucked us over again and we need to put a stop to this as ive read before about people refusing to buy it will stop the flow.Well it seems that it hasn't stopped 4 odd months later and i reckon these fuckers that control the import of the sick soapbar trade from their villas in spain are now on to this scam because the soapbar market seemed to nearly die in england due to busts of some big importers of that plastic crap but now they are onto this new scam and they have flooded the contry with another potential killer these are dark days for the real connaisseurs of this sacred herb who use it to just relax and not think about this fucked up world we live in.

I've recently been informed of this contamination and its scared the shit out of me.

Since finding out i've been testing my bud and it's been fine but i know that i have smoked some of this stuff, a few 8ths.

Silicosis seems to be being thrown around a lot, i've tried to find the information im looking for in this thread but due to length i have thus far been unsuccessful.

Basically im wanting to know what the chances are that I've massively fucked myself with this shit? Is it worth going to the doctors?

really grim.

Well, the problem is no-one knows the extent, if any, of the danger to health.

As I understand it from being involved in this issue for the past few months - I'm not a doctor or in any way medically qualified - it all comes down to the size and nature of the particles.

As far as your lungs are concerned, real serious damage apprently happens with particles less than 15 microns in diameter (the famous PM10's - do a google to learn about them). These are small enough to get deep into your lungs where they will get stuck.

Problems are worse if the particles are rough and sharp. Now as these are beads, that isn't so much of an issue, the fibreglass and sand contamination though might be a different matter, we know nothing at all about that.

The problem is, some of the beads are actually dumbell shaped, a small sphere stuck onto a larger one. These may break to leave a small jagged element. There may be some spheres less than 15 micron, we haven't seen any but then we've only seen a tiny sample. A well loaded spliff might contain thousands of these things.

So I'm afraid the answer is we don't know, which doesn;t help much I know. If you feel OK you probably are though, if you have a new cough or pains or something, be concerned.

And blame the government for creating this situation.
