Hi Folks
It's still crap round here (Gatwick). The weed itself looks and smells awesome but then you look under light and shiny flecks that you know are not resin glands. It even passes the bite test, so I decided to take everyone's advice and grow my own and wondered if anyone could advise how to get old school hash like lebanese or red seal or that sort of stuff??

Man it's been years since I smoked that sorta shit and would love to be able to make it?

Pls,Pls,Pls Help

CIGARETTE FILTER better than water bong, or use both.

God damn big fish deal bastards and government. All my weed was grit weed, I had no other source, and needed my weed high, so I separated the grit from the leaves with the water trick. Then smoked some of it through a cigarette filter, should be ok.
I smoked during a few evening around 3 gr. No pain no cough, nothing special, the pot was good. Now I am throwing the last bits away and oredring myself a growing kit for beginners.

Big Love

Out of pure fear i've been doing some research into silicosis, from what i can gather smoking any of this 'grit' will cause ireprable damage to your lungs, it's that simple.

The amount of damage done will depend on if you keep smoking it or not. your unlikely to die from it at this stage but obviously if your gonna keep smoking it your gonna be building up the damage.

Just type silicosis into goof=gle and read as much as you can hopefully it might but a few minds at rest. Maybe it'll wake up the idiots that are still using this shit.

Do a Google for ice hash or bubble hash. It won't quite have the exact same flavour, you'd have to be there to reproduce that, but it'll be as close as you can get without the air-fare. ;)

Big Thanks Nigfis

Hi Witalit

Welcome to UKCIA! Yeah, I've seen them :)

That little programme came out of UKCIA's publicity about the grit weed. For some reason though ITV wales were the only media outlet to take the story seriously. It got a mention in the Guardian and the Eastern Daily Press but everything else ignored us.

Since then there has been a bit more coverage (including due to the efforts of people here), but it's hard to get the press intereted. Of course they're quite happy to reprint and rebroadcast government or police press releases...

Hi all,

New to the forum, joined just to say my bit on the whole situation we have here. Quit smoking around the time all this seemed to be happening. However I started again around 6-8 weeks ago. Now only recently have I recieved some really gritty crap. Smoked it for a couple of days and it so happened to be that I got a bad chest, I dont know if it was me just getting a bed chest through how unhealthy it is smoking cigarettes and just generally getting a bad chest. Or wether it was because of this grit. Other people smoking this crap who smoke more than me have an OK chest.

Just out of interest, the people who have smoked this in large quantities or are still smoking it how have you found your health in general???

Has this contamination only been found in strains of skunk?

Depends what you mean by "skunk". It's in commecial herbal bud.

But is it just commercial bud??? just got some weed there 4 days ago.We were told it was homegrown bud, now we are told that it came from england but who knows it could b from here ( northern ireland). Its dark green with orange hairs in it, looks like good bou to the eye but wen tou split it up and look into the light some tiny bits sparkle. It is also good weed. Gets you wiped, but a bit harsh oon the throat. Any suggestions if this is the shit??

just to point out, the daily fascist (mail) today had a small point in the letters section regarding the old dear who got busted for medicinal, there is again no mention of the contamination or the complete and utter failure of the current drug policy, all it has is a small article 1 for and 1 against her conviction, the person who supports her conviction jus spouted out the usual government 'new super skunk' message and completely ignors all truths. the person supportin sounds semi-level-headed by supportin medicinal but still fails to mention any key points that must be shown to the wider public

The stuff im getting (also in NI) is much the same as you describe, that's not grit weed. There is grit weed about over here so keep your eyes leeled, it looks like it has very powdery crystals and is kinda lemony in colour, the buds are dense also.

While is does have orange hairs they are not as pronounced as usual, again because teh weed is more lemony in colour than green.

Something that came out of the recent Drugscope report which sugested 60% of UK cannabis is now grown here is that commercial growers are growing fast turnover crops, rather than the more ocnventional crops.

Chances are this stuff, although probably OK, won't be as good quality as you've perhaps been used to.

Anyone know more about this? How do you do fast turn over grows?

Well I've done my best to avoid the silica / sand weed thats going around but now they seem to have changed tactics, I noticed an earlier thread mentioning this... I now seem to be getting oily skunk which doesnt contain sand but some sort of sweet oil, Buds look greasy and if you wipe your finger on the bud and taste there is a distinctive sweet taste. Obviously another attempt to get extra weight from the harvest. What is going on, do the police not realise that busting all these farms means that they put the health of a large percentage of the UK at risk by forcing them to source their smokes from dodgy bastards. Ive woke up this morning after smoking an 1/8th and im coughing my lungs up. I agree with all the other threads that say buy home grown or grow your own, but for those who cant do that whats the answer other than give up?

WHEN WILL THIS BS STOP.

It was dark green when it was damp mate but it went 2 shades lighter wen it dried out. it left a lemoney lookin fine powder in the bottom of my grinder which filtered through the wire gauze. the buds wer quite big.

Yes I know what you mean it does seem very dark, And is nothing like the grit weed I have had recently, but I am wondering what sort of contamination this is as you said it is damp but it doesnt seem like water dampness from fast harvesting or steaming it is more like an oil and tastes sweet if you lick your fingers after breaking it up, also it leaves an oily residue on your fingers and looks well below weight even though its not. And as I said earlier it does nothing for your chest. So even though its not grit weed, it is still contaminated. The $64,000 question is what are they using?

I guess its BRIX (after scanning the forum.) Does this product give the oily effect to the bud?? And why the fu<k are Hydroponic stores selling it, I suppose its better than grit weed but i'd still love to just get some clean unadulterated bud.

Well recently I bought some bud and it was covered in this sugary shit it is so filth. It sizzles when you smoke it like its caramelising or something it scares me to smoke it.
