http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3103256/ I will start with this link proving that i am not just a paranoid pothead. I will also say that 1/3 of UNCONTROLLED marijuana possibly more, is moldy. Aspergillus, is heat resistant, generates cytotoxins which are some of the most potent and harmful compounds found IN ALL OF NATURE. So I firmly believe that cannabis is another gift from God, however I also know that man has the free will to trample on that gift. Smoking aspergillus and need to rage? Listen to A song called "The pot" by tool about hypocrisy and BS court systems, like here in new york. I will now list some common signs of moldy, potentially deadly, street weed. Cat piss smell when burned in a bowl. Super resiny joints/blunts Moldy smell, wine, dirty clothes, etc.. Dusty... u see little dusts flying off buds Copious amounts of "kief" that is more like dust. And not sticky Brown/darker shades on certain areas of the bud. Confusable for really good pot Aspergillus and its byproducts are some of the most potent carcinogens and toxins found in nature and kills 600,000 people anually. Be safe and toss away suspect weed. There is no sure way to know, but it is probably not good if you got it in new york. God bless, peace be with you all. God bless... try eating it instead fellas. The way our creator designed. http://www.the420shack.com/2011/01/how-to-tell-if-your-smoking-moldy-weed.html?m=1
Also, i have heard of a guy in texas with weed symptoms similar to nyc stuff. Darker on some spots, and a chemically smell. This is real folks and absolutely not propaganda. Love the herb, despise the system.
not one link supporting the last statement on deaths.. idk ive smoked a ton of weed and I'm fine.. molds so easy to spot Sent from my intergalactic spaceship
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspergillosis http://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/aspergillosis/statistics.html http://www.nsmm.nu/nsmm2012Denning.pdf <pdf Believe it or not, aspergillosis is not a reportable infection in the US And most KNOWN cases are from hospitilized patients. Doctors dont deal with this at all really, and depending on the kind (it is a very broad disease class) the mortality rate could be nearly certain, especially someone who unkowingly inhales it and its incredibly toxic carcinogenic compounds daily. It goes untreated and gets worse, and becomes systemic, meaning it starts to infect multiple organs.
Exactly it is very easy to spot. I got just recently from yet a different provider with yet another bag of dusty, off colored, cat piss burning, aspergillus weed tossed it in the snow.
If your worried about mold on weed let me tell u how much the shit u eat on a daily basis has so much more mold on it. That cheeseburger u get from mcdonalds the cheese is probably a day from going expired, the patty, the bun. Most of the shit u eat has mold on it. Low amounts of mold isn't gonna kill u man. There's probably such low amounts of mold on buds that u will never notice health effects from it
I could see this happening, improperly stored marijuana can cause mold. And that mold can cause health problems, regardless of concentration on the bud. If it's present in one nug its likely present in all nugs that shared that space (especially in bags). I would like to think someone 'dying' from smoking moldy marijuana would be classified as exposure to mold, not drug related. Since marijuana is not produced in one centralized location, I highly doubt the moldy weed is distributed in malevolence. More likely ignorance or someone refusing to take the financial loss. DO NOT EAT IT, throw it away man.
Not propaganda? You just told us that over 1/3 of street weed is moldy with absolutely no proof, and that these molds are responsible for over 600,000 deaths a year, again no source. Even if 600,000 people die every year from mold, that's like saying 'be weary of faulty ammunition, over 10,000 people are die every year from being shot". YOUR STATISTIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE BECAUSE MOLD DEATHS ARE 99.999999999999% UNRELATED TO SMOKING MOLDY WEED. Citing the number of people who die from mold every year is stupid anyway because I doubt any of those cases even have anything to do with moldy weed. If what he says is true, that "1/3 of UNCONTROLLED marijuana possibly more, is moldy" than I have smoked hella moldy pot and should have been sick long ago. Theres nothing wrong with telling people moldy weed isn't 100% safe but let's be real here and not bullshit people, this isn't your 7th health class. Let's not post statistics that you don't even understand. Is it possible to get moldy weed? Yes, but not very likely. Is it possible to get sick from moldy weed? Yea, but again, in the rare event that you get moldy weed - not likely. Can you die from smoking moldy weed? Your probably more likely to die during the illegal transaction than you are smoking it.
I have seen several POUNDS OF MOLDY TREES WITH ASPERGILLUS. I gave you all 4 links and every source is reputable and even shows cases in the first link of deaths caused by exposure to mold on cannabis. Here is my logic being a savy new yorker, privy to reality in a way that most Americans are not... cannabis is THE MOST CONSUMED ILLEGAL PLANT. ALL OF THE WEED I HAVE PURCHASED HAS THE ABNORMAL SYMPTOMS I LISTED IN THE FIRST POST. NO ONE CARES OR KNOWS ABOUT THIS. 600,000 PEOPLE DIE FROM THIS DISEASE YEARLY FACT. READ THE wiki LINKS. THEREFORE, UNREGULATED WEED IS DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT WE ALL AGREED ON THAT?
So its not dangerous or life threatening to inhale the most toxic and dangerous naturally occurring mold and its harmful cytotoxic byproducts multiple times daily for many years? This wont cause new Yorkers issues? Please!
Uh... stupid thread. http://mayocl.in/1Fbm8KF ^Don't have those symptoms? Don't have those problems. EDIT: <p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis - the most severe form - occurs when the infection spreads rapidly from the lungs to your brain, heart, kidneys or skin. This occurs only in people whose immune system is weakened, commonly from chemotherapy. Untreated, this form of aspergilla disease is usually fatal.
Fuck, goin by what this dude's sayin' I'm probably gon' die soon. I've never smoked anything but "unregulated weed".
Agreed absolutely an effect of uncontrolled controlled substances. Its sad that most kids like me dont research this stuff. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with all this weed in new york... i believe i figured it out, and a medical pot patient waiting for an organ transplant was denied his life for smoking legal regulated pot for pain, the reason? Potential exposure to aspergillus, a known mold to grow on dead plants a.k.a. pot buds. This city, the epicenter of drugs in america IS INFESTED WITH THIS SHIT. I guess some of the other posters dont realize the significance of that. The drugs go everywhere from here, but they, not grounded in reality, understandably and unfortunately dont have that taste of reality that cities force on you.
Read the edited version. And are you insulting me? No point, but I'll have you know I do know "how to score." Your insults are childish and immature, and the only reason you insulted me is because I disagreed with your statement. Grow up, and stop being paranoid. "I'm not just a paranoid stoner" - yes, yes you are.
Well i hope not, just know god is with you... hopefully you have a local supply of good nirvana buds new york is a bad city for drugs, the dealers do not care about you. At All. Probably ignorant to it anyway, not that they would care. POUNDS OF MOLDY WEED.
WHY DOES MY WEED SMELL LIKE CAT PISS AND WHY DO I GET A GRINDER FULL OF KIEF. I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE NOT BEEN HIGH IN A LONG TIME. Again, on a daily basis, inhaled cytotoxins and mold spores will fucking kill you! Do you even understand mold? Did you even read the links or attempt to do independent reasearch besides a quick google search and skimming through symptoms of an unrelated cause of this disease... just a little is enough to hurt someone with a weak immune system, my pot has about .1 - .2 grams of mold kief after a quick sieve.
You never know what was put on buds if you don't grow em yourself. Pesticides, dead bugs, mold, dirt, hair, etc.. People don't give a fuck about your health, they want money.
Super cat piss strain? Also, you are a paranoid stoner. Just read that. ^ You don't gotta be high to be paranoid, man. Look, if you're just going to insult me, there's no point in making a valid argument. Read the source I linked and enlighten yourself. Stop being ignorant.
