Contaminated Weed - Please Read

yea medical clubs are actually aimed towards helping the suffering AIDS/Cancer paitients so you kno the bud has at least to be tested by many probably seasoned potheads who can detect additives. a regulated system like prop 215 in california shows in a controlled market our dreams of what regulated cannabis would be like, you just need a doctors signature.

 

How is the UK/dry scene looking lately?

 

Just grow your own

 

i hope the problem doesn't spread badly

 

alright, we need a task force on this!!! im working in the southern california region trying to smoke as much aas possible to test weed for the aforementioned particles!! it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!

 

I thought this was discovered like in 2000-2001

 

Grow your own

 

You bumped a one year old thread to make a stupid comment like this?

 

Thanks for the warning +rep

EVERYONE MOVE TO CANADA!!!

 

mod please close this thread its old as fuck. informative, but very common knowledge now adays. not sure if its still even happening in england where it was heavy. please close thread.

 

Just over a year ago, we got a big batch of what we called 'grit weed', basically it just had sand in it and didn't really get me stoned.

Luckily those days are gone and lately the weed is kosher and theres no drought where i'm from - can still get anything i want

 

has it been found in canada yet

 

states found a pound o my herb had metal shavings all fucked up. stop fuckiing up my herb dudes

 

I dont know why people do such messed up things. I never knew about this until i read it on here. Thanks for the warning.
More reason to grow your own.

 

just so yall know this is still happening in the uk, i always taste my bud b4 i smoke it and in the last few weeks i have tasted sugar, salt and all sorts of other disgusting shit that u dont wanna be smoking

 

Best bet in the UK is to find a grower friend and stick to buying from friends. I have one very reliable dealer. He once sold me bud that was clearly soaked in water to add weight, and he sells me uncured bud sometimes, but it's always top quality and the weights are always right, so aside from the water incident he's been pretty reliable. On the other hand my friend bought some bud and when we looked at it, it was soaking wet and had a strong chemical smell, I believe someone sprayed Raid or something similar on it.

Contamination is definitely around, but Cambridge and the surrounding towns don't seem to have a big problem with it. The likelihood here is if someone wants to short your bag they'll just add water to the bud.

Just in case there are any dealers on this site who contaminate their weed to add weight, don't do it. Just put an orange peel in the bag and leave it overnight and the bag's weight will nearly double, or just add water if you have to. I don't agree with people ripping each other off, but if you're going to do it, at least do it in a way that isn't harmful to the person smoking it.

 

SHANGHAI GRIT HASH / CANNABIS / WEED / MARIJUANA WARNING

Warning to those (expats especially) living in Shanghai, China:

I'm and American expat living in Shanghai who, for the past three years, has been regularly smoking kief / kif / keef hash coming from random Xinjiang / Uighur / Muslim dealers. Recently, a bowl cashed into my mouth and I was overwhelmed with some gritty sand-like substance. Searching through the internet immediately alarmed me to the grit weed problems in Europe.

I gained access to a microscope and found huge amounts of beautiful trichomes COMPLETELY SURROUNDED by rounded beads (0.05 - 0.10mm in diameter). I'm fairly certain that these are the silica crystals so dreadfully detailed on several grit weed websites.

Words can't describe the terrified chills that have been going down my spine just thinking about how irresponsible I was to have possibly jeopardized my good health.

PLEASE, TO ALL THOSE EXPATS AND TRAVELERS IN SHANGHAI, CHINA: STAY AWAY FROM STREET DEALERS. KNOW YOUR DEALER WELL AND DO A TASTE CHECK OF EVERY OUNCE OF WEED YOU CONSIDER BUYING IN THIS CITY. IF YOU FEEL A CRUNCH THROW THE BAG BACK INTO THE DEALERS FACE AND YELL AT HIM.

I personally doubt the Uighur dealers know the silicosis implications of having silica in the weed. I doubt they even know what silica is in fact...

More than likely, 90% of the weed in Shanghai is contaminated. I'm pretty sure I've been getting hints of gritty substances in my weed for the past three years. For some reason, I always shrugged it off as ground up seeds or stems (or maybe even random outdoor sand particles blown into the resin while growing). After reading up on grit weed, and considering the desperate profit motives going on in this country, I highly doubt this is the case anymore.

I'm assuming that the cannabis / weed / marijuana is originally sprayed with glass frosting then later on tumbled or shaken to form the kief hash / soap hash which is so easily found on the streets in Shanghai.

In terms of grit weed, my research tells me that chances are fairly small that silicosis will develop. The size of the particles are too large to pry their way into the air sacs in the lungs. But still, what a shady circumstance to have to ponder over for the rest of my life.

TO THE END OF PROHIBITION.

GRASSCITY, IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I COULD PUBLICIZE THIS BETTER ON YOUR WEBSITE?? MOST PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO GRIT WEED IN SHANGHAI. WORD NEEDS TO SPREAD. I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE FIRS POST ON THE SITUATION,...

 

I have a great idea! Let's give innocent teens cancer just so I can make a few more bucks.

You can also scratch the nug on a CD to test if it is grit.

 

Grit weed? Why are they putting the silicone in it anyway? Make it weigh more?
