Best thing to do is order some strong thc weed and mix it with whatever ratio works best for you, with quality CBD buds.

Hi okay to start with 90% of UK weed is sprayed which is very sad but its the truth mate. Cali bud is different from UK weed not just in quality but also terpene profiles meaning that the chemical THC is different in cali weed. Why is it different? Well heres why. Its due to the fact that when the plant flowers here in the UK they want to finish it as quick as possible so they cut it early most of the time which at 7-8 weeks of flower. However on the other hand in cali the flowering stage takes 9-12 weeks and in those extra weeks the flower develops a substance called CBN. CBN gives you this relaxed sleepy feeling with minimum anxiety and stress. This is scientifcally proven mate you can look it up. Its never about what strain its always about how the plant was grown. If the plant is grown with love, you will get love from smoking it <3 with all that said try our Pina acai! She's tasty and fruity with a pleasent nice high.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/cannabinol

Cannabinol (CBN) is the nonenzymatic oxidation byproduct of THC and is most commonly an artifact found after prolonged storage, especially at higher temperatures.

Please back up these claims with some links and actually science, cheers

Not sure I'd agree with the 90% figure but I wouldn't know as I've not bought weed in years as a grower. Can I ask though, what is the weed sprayed with? Serious question as I've heard this before but never seen or heard of a spray for sale that would help weed post harvest. Is it a spray that puts weight on the buds or something?

How can you tell if its been sprayed?

Not arguing with you at all I genuinely have never come across a post harvest spray in any hydro shop I've been to over the years so just wondering what it actually is. Not that I'd ever use it!

Thanks.

Cheers BB

Used to be like this a while back , but not had any weed like that for a long time and not on LB, thank god!

What are you thoughts on PGR's,( plant growth hormones) just as stuff can be done after the cure-with grit weed, the same applies with the actual grow?

Link to an informative and well composed article:

Thanks for this.

Facinating that the article advises to "rub crystals on your teeth, if it dissolves, it's fine"

After the article has just mentioned glass being something they spray it with!!

Wouldn't fancy rubbing any glass into my teeth to find out if weed was legit or not, haha.

I'm still confused as to how this is done. How do you spray glass and grit? Especially onto a bud?

I'm sure the dodgy geezers have a way. No surprise I haven't seen it in my local hydro store then!
.
Thanks again for the info.

Cheers BB

I dont know about strains etc, i dont smoke. I have lumbar spinal stenosis and neuropathy. I buy mj concentrates canna chocolate. One square and im pain free for hours. Theyre cool to chat to as well so he wont mind you asking questions etc. You can also buy a single bar of chocolate if you just want to try.

Hi jjfury

I consume for similar/same reasons I find urban leaf co good for small amounts and they are really nice to speak to, so you could ask them what they recommend. They also cover all budgets and have an understanding of Medical uses and what bud gives what effect as they test/try all their products. You can usually find Reviews and appreciation posts for them on the topics, they are also usually near the top on the items pages. I’d be carful of any vendors with little sales or intro offers just until you feel confident as it can be pretty hit n miss and don’t want you being put off LB when you need to medicate ❤️ I’m not saying never just start off with a reliable vendor and that way you should know when something doesn’t seem right in future :)

PM me and I can sort out a free sample, no problem, if not- happy hunting.

Look for Indicas, mostly hybrids available with sativa genetics too so look for a high percentage of Indica genetics sometimes described as "Indica dominant". So Kush and its varieties are a good start. Indica gives a stronger body effect, I use them for pain and inflamation, I do have migraines occasional and it works for that too. Also varieties - Pink Zombie, Honey Cream, Purple Kush, Star Dawg and many others.

I prefer outdoor organic sun grown herb rather than Hydroponic indoor, so I'm using ChronusBuds ( seller - link above) at the moment, very helpful & friendly guy, small amounts possible. His herb does not have that "plumped up" hydro look so it puts some people off- but the effects are very good.

I hope you find what you need.

Do you smoke weed normally or is it just for the migraine mate?

As others have said, possibly the herb or vape unit.

I NEVER had harshness on any of the storz and bickel with any weed, even low grade

Sorry I don’t know what this means Apex.

sorry mate,

the vape brand is storz and bickel they make the Volcano, mighty and a couple more the names escape me.

basically top end of vape machines.

Ive tried many dry herb capes ranging from portable to plug in from 50-300 odd quid.

i found cheaper ones didn't do the herb justice, read up on volcano. pricey but will last forever and get more vapor feom your herb amounts :)

Ah ok wicked thanks man.

Sometimes it can just be the wattage, I find if I dilute it more I get more flavours and a hit due to being able to withstand more vapour, check out our tinctures theyre sweet

Maybe it’s not cured for long enough?

What vape are you using?

I find it to be more coughy when smoking pure or vapes compared to a J with baccy. Depending on your vape id suggest getting a waterpipe adapter and running it through a bong for smoother hits

Thanks. It’s just a cheap vape BLK Nova. But it’s fine for most weed, surprisingly good really. But I have this 8th of Alien Dawg I bought on here just before Christmas that I still have. I barely smoke it because it’s always really harsh on my throat.

Hi hoqwer yes sounds like the weed making you feel like that!!not been flushed properly.. Cured... Or something else!!?. Sorry its happened. Did you not get on to the vendor who you bought it off?. Explaining ive got weed here thats a load of shite!!! just before xmas as well..what a shitter..this lockdown hard enough..

Thanks. No I didn’t bother the vendor. Thought it was just me being fussy. The other reviews are all fine. I mean it still gets me stoned. Just harsh taste and crap in the morning. Bought through them a few times and they’ve been great. Bought some Pink Kush through them on the same order and was lovely. But this Alien Dawg is just not right. Bit late now saying something in Feb. Wonder if it will be ok making edibles out of it?

Hi hoqwer yes you could do i suppose..!!! Or use a good vaporizer . how have you got the weed stored??.as its quite few weeks since xmas!! Either way you'll get some use out of it:-))...!!

Thanks Jayboy, I have it stored in a resealable black Mylar bag with all the air squeezed out, same as all my other weed. But it’s been harsh since day it arrived, which is why I never smoked it. My vape, although cheap, is fine. It’s fine with all the other weed I have. I like it a lot. It’s just this little batch. Maybe it’s just not to my taste.

Sound like the bud not the vape!

Yep I think it’s the weed. It also makes me feel pretty crap the next day, like mega weed-over and bad tummy. This is why I have bought other weed and not really smoked it. Think I’ll give it away.

I can't speak for that vape as never heard of it but if you've used it successfully with different bud it may well be that particular weed. Have you tried smoking it in a joint and seeing how it smokes/burns?

I've been pretty lucky with my buys but had questionable product arrive a few times - lack of visible trichromes, smelling like hay, no taste, joints burning black and not even feeling stoned off a joint

A couple things could be factor. For better taste and flavour go for lower temperatures. Be sure that you grind it fine and kind of fluffy. Last: don't overpack.

I use cannabis when my head gets too much (Borderline Personality Disorder), I've been prescribed benzo's in the past but they don't really hit home like a good old smoke does, and they aren't too good for you in the long run as they can be quite addictive.
Having a smoke can set me free from my mind which can be a blessed relief sometimes.
I must say though that I don't think cannabis is a "cure all" as such but it should be more widely recognized as being a plant with some healing/helpful properties that truly makes a difference to peoples lives.

Yes pal.. without a good strain I am completly paralized withoutany exaggeration, the only prescribed things that work for me are diazepam and they knock you out badly and are addictive as fuck so no long term things work for me but cannabis.

Im nearly 30 and my lower back where the spinal disc isloacated is buggered from years and years of grueling graft for a pittance.

64 y/o cancer patient, finishing (June 1, 2021) a 30 month, 18 treatment, 100 hours of chemo regiment.

When I was near death, I could not administer cannabis in any form. After I took my first dose of chemo, I was able to eat some RSO which helped me sleep.

By dose#2, I was utilizing at night for sleep, RSO or distillate. As I progressed, I was also able to utilize during the day & that is when I really started to kick cancer’s ass.

From month #3 until I was declared “cancer free” I enhanced my chemo fog with a cannabis buzz.

Did it help? A 30 year oncology nurse told me I was worst than anyone they ever treated who lived.

When I tell people I enjoyed my cancer experience...

Canna coconut oil helps me with pain relief and depression. For the depression it's helpful for side effects of coming off anti - depressants. And pain relief for rehabilitation of a broken shoulder I'm get good benefit from vaping too

Helped me get through a very serious coke addiction, now 5 months clean only green ?

Respect

I have a severe spinal condition, used to need codeine, pregabalin and naproxen all day everyday. Now when i have edibles it gets rid of my neuropathy or makes it more manageable most dsys without needed all those bad chemicals.

I’ve been on a few anti depressants and promethazine for being suicidal and severely depressed and anxiety weed is the only thing that has worked for me when I’m without weed I notice my symptoms come back so I have to always have some on me in my honest opinion weed helps anxiety and depression.

Hope your doing alright now man, I agree weed does help me calm down and forget about all my anxious thoughts. I hope in the uk it will become more easily accessible for medical users

yeah defiantly I am better with weed sativas are the best for my condition

glad to hear you are better

u have purchased from us before i recall your username

we plan on having some super silver haze on the menu if that interests you or anyone here

sounds good let us know once it’s up and I’ll take a look

i will do, cheers!

indicas are great for managing ptsd

I've heard that from a few people, are you smoking pure indicas or hybrid indica dominant?

pure indicas at night, indica-heavy hybrids during the day

bet those pure indicas send you to sleep like a baby

Yes mate I mainly use it for its medical benefits, I have anxiety and it calms me right down, nothing works as well as cannabis for me, would be good to hear from someone that has physical pain tho

which strains are you using for reduced anxiety because I have found some strains can sometimes make me feel even more anxious?

thanks

My preferred strain is NY sour diesel

Indica is short flowering, short and sleepy, sativas are opposite generally

I read somewhere that a strain is considered to be indica when it has 5% or more of the terpene myrcene which causes the sedated couch lock effect.

asapcocky cool username lol
new addition to the asap crew?

also there is a notable difference in the way the plant grows
indica tends to grow short stocky and bushy with wider fan leaves

whereas sativa tends to grow tall and has thinner fan leaves

and as stated in the comments already, difference in types of high

cheers, THB

sativa is uplifting indica is more to help sleep or relax

Latitude and attitude :)

Indica grows further North
Gives relaxing and laugh inducing effects.

Sativa grows closer to the equator
Effects are uplifting and cerebral.

Indica is great for sleep and pain reduction/body highs. Sativa give energy.

Isn't it interesting that's just what people in the North and South each need!

What temp?

Vaping is definitely not a waste of time and money and the mighty is a very well thought of vape but coming from smoking joints its gonna feel very different. I stopped combustion late last year but went through a few vapes trying to find something that worked for me. I have something similar to the mighty but have found that it doesn't give me the satisfaction of say smoking a joint as I don't get as stoned. This is partially due to removing nicotine and partially due to the device. People below have recommended butane vapes like the dynavap and from what I have heard they do appeal to the person wanting to quit joints cause of the way they hit, I bought a vivant v leaf go which is basically a battery powered version of a dynavap (imo) i run it through a small glass bong and it has completely replaced smoking for me. anyhow what i'm trying to say is vaping defo works but you need to match your devices to whats gonna work for you
https://fuckcombustion.com/ is a good rescource for seeing all the various options - everyone will always jump on the butane thing but my missus would not be impressed with my whipping out a flamethrower each time i want to vape, where as me sucking on the space dildo is way less disturbing for her... ymmv

I went for the digi volcano as dont realy smoke on the go,i usualy do bongs or buckets and the change over to the volcano was strange,only got hang of it now,i put at least half a gram of rough grinded flower in and i hit it at 230 c and it fills the bag with a proper vape cloud and makes me cough which i sorta need to feel to get a high,so my advice would be crank it up n try dif grind on material ie less or more grind,i find a quick rough grind not like dust :)

The mighty is an awesome piece of kit m8. If your not enjoying the mighty you must have a faultly unit. One thing I would say is though that the mighty will never be like a joint. On the first draw with the mighty you should be tasting the flavours of the weed at 180 and then ramping it up to 190, 200 and 210 till your bowl is cooked. You dont get loads of smoke with it like you do with a joint. To be honest if a smoked a joint I'd whitey lol... vaping is the way forward and the mighty is king!

I agree with Kickass below, either faulty or a fake cos mine was banging out of the box, only thing that stopped me smoking joints, 9/10 sessions I go for the mighty now so don’t give up on it imo, what temp are you running? Using dosing caps or just the bowl? Maybe you’re filling and compacting too much, maybe not compacting enough...

I’d honestly be contacting S&B or the retailer as deffo not at all right, agree with Kickass that it’s faulty or a Chinese knock off as mine was banging out of the box, it’s never going to be a spliff but it’s as close as you’re gonna get right now imo.

I toke on my mighty like I would a fag or spliff just little pulls / puffs and I can get nearly 20 mins out of a full bowl

The Mighty works better with bud that is nicely dried/cured, not too moist and not too dry, . If too moist, can be difficult to get a good toke, as the weed clings together and prevents airflow. if too dry, it lacks potency. You can get away with these things when smoking a j or bong but vapes work better with weed that is dried properly.

Sounds like you either got a faulty unit or its a Chinese knockoff (yeah, they do that too..). What you described is not how the device should be working. Clean it off with cotton swabs and 99% alcohol and send it back.

Just to add to this. I have a Plenty by the same make/brand and get...plenty of vapour from it. Terrible pun. Always set at max temps and a great way to session smoke. I wouldn't let this put you off vaping it you can.

I’m assuming you have a mighty as well or have used a mighty?! Just wondering how you feel about the plenty ba the mighty as sometimes I want a giant bowl I can keep picking up and hitting and the plenty looks perfect for the job.

I've had a mighty but overall preferred how much easier it was to clean and maintain the plenty. The plenty is probably 20% better at producing vapour over the mighty. Downside is you're hooked in to the wall socket as opposed to having a more mobile device.. but that's not really an issue for my use case.

As for bowl sizes you can pretty much make any size bowl you want. The most I've tried is 1g but it could definitely take more. I got a room full of clouds with that, was like the straw that kept giving. I usually use a liquid pad for that reason.

Thanks for the response pal, yeh that’s what I’m thinking judging by what I’ve read about it. I followed all the tips as closely as I could with regards to grinding, packing etc. It shouldn’t be knock off but who knows these days, I’ll be sending it back anyway.

I found Pax to be the same.

Smokers seem to do better on butane vapes.
Try a dynavap or a stickybrick. Both have a learning curve but smokers love dynavaps and the stickybrick is as hard hitting as vape gets.

If you buy from Vapefiend with the code 420 either will ebay for almost the same as you paid if they don't work out.

Just my thoughts.

ive always found that non of the electronic hand held vaporizers such as pax,mighty ,plenty, etc etc etc tick the box .They all have limited whispy amounts of vapour production and non produce decent clouds of vapour.Also As with most electronic gadgets nowerdays these types of vaporizers can (and will) develop faults that need repair or replacement.
Look into The sublimator(torch driven) and dynavap vapes ,neither are electronic,no way can they develop faults and both really do tick the ex joint smokers box massive clouds great high and all from very small amounts of material (hope this helps ) X

Can’t come quick enough bb! Keep us all posted
Hope you are well mate

looking good mate! :)

Amazing BB! Let me know when it’s ready for sale :)

strip those bitches!

Already did a massive defol and lollypop about 2 weeks ago, literally a bin bag full, but yeah, they need another haircut.

These ladies grow like the clappers! Hopefully they produce. Looking good so far. Fingers crossed.

Cheers BB

Looking good pal, I'll be on that when your back on

Looking good man. Happy plants make happy buds :)

I use a masterdam stash jar (uv proof).... loads of different manufacturers doing these uv proof jars.... just get one thats about the same size as what your storing... I have a big jar for storing edibles and a little jar for wax and another little jar for concentrates then another jar that does an 8th exactly... my m8 gave me an 8th not that long ago and it was really dry with hardly any smell to it, few weeks in the jar and it's smelling lovely... the uv proof jar is supposed to preserve the thc better as thc doesnt like light

loads of different strains out there with different effects... check out leafly.com.... search for the strain your thinking about buying and check out what people are saying about it... this might give you an idea of what your looking for ;) worth noting it might give you a different effect as the person reviewing it but people leave reviews saying they felt happy or paranoid blah blah.... hope this helps, njoi :)

Hello. May I ask, why is it you feel you need your smoke to be indica? Is there a certain effect you are looking for from an indica strain? Just curious. Most (near all) cannabis is some kind of hybrid these days. A balance of sativa/Indica. The percentage will tell you the sway of the strain. Indica Dominant strains are heavier hitting and relaxing. Body stoned. Whereas a Sativa will provide a headier, buzzy high! The more a percentage leans towards one, the more of those effects you will feel. Try not to confuse the sativa/indica % with the strength % (usually between 15-30%) as that has a whole other meaning. Essentially, how strong the plant is, as a whole. If you need any help, My inbox is open :) Good Luck, New Bigga! :)

Never long term store weed in anything plastic/mylar.

Get an airtight glass jar that is close to the size of weed you're storing, buy a cheap hygrometer from ebay, pop it in the jar.

If it's around 58-62% relative humidity then don't bother with Boveda packs. If it's less or more throw one (8g Boveda 62% pack) in per 14g of product.

Keep the .jars at around 18 degrees.

As soon as the RH on the hygrometer reads around 60%, take the Boveda packs out. They have a tendency to remove the terpenes from the weed.

Cheers BB

Depends on how much you’re storing actually . If it’s a gram or two that finishes in a few days , don’t bother . You will just get a new batch again but if u have a bigger stash and ure worried it dries out then 100% yes . Get it . No new tech here . They make for the cigar market and until recently the green market . Now they just tweak it for different plant with different humidity requirements . Same same but different . You might want to reconsider storing in plastic bags . The bags may have static and that pulls off the trichromes that’s why most ppl use glass jars . As for how you bag your gear . If it’s left unsealed certain parts of the world it will dry out faster . Certain parts of the world it might get moldy due to the high humidity. Hope this helps mate

Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.

The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.

You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.

If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.

Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.

If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.

Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.

The Pen Pipe! Just turn the metal tip into a bowl brah

Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!

I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.

People we need to turn our bottles into bongs!

where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou

When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this

Not a bong

Russian Bot

and this is not the Hacker News, chill.

At least he didn't downvote and turn it all grey

Consider the Apple Bong.

Dude if Apple made a bong...

The Genius Bar would suddenly make sense.

It would be the most overpriced worthless bong. Haha

It would cost 500 bucks and be worth it

Toilet paper bong is the other end of the market

That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple

Dude I thought this but you gotta see the new green one

Haha awesome

Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

Shit that works!

Similar to what we done back in the day!

If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs

Sealed in the dark in liquid nitrogen

Glass mason jar, and a 58% boveda pack.
14 of the 1g ones comfortably does a ounce.


GF

i was just going to say this

the boveda pack works wonders

and sometimes brings too dry nugs back to life

Mylar bags inside a brown (UV blocking) glass pickling jar would be a good bet. I stopped smoking for two years but still had my last 8th ‘in stock’ - it was in a regular baggie inside a coffee jar and it was still pretty good when I cracked it open 2 years later. I think some disintegration is expected regardless of how well it’s stored (but should still be a good high).

The Bulldog cafe

Coffeeshop La Tertulia is a great little spot. Very chill with lots of pot plants and right next to a canal.

sounds good

Sounds perfect mate nice one

I'm new to this site, found it because I haven't been able to get any smoke for nearly a year. A while back I took a day trip to Amsterdam simply because I was suffering badly. I done my homework before going, the place that all the locals use is a shop called Boerejongens. It isn't a cafe as you can't sit and smoke your weed in the shop. It has a stocked range of high grade cannabis and has a wide selection of Amsterdam genetic weed. I went to a few places, but Boerejongens was a grade above.

It's not exactly central but if you get a bit lost, or fancy exploring, down in the South-East is Coffeeshop Stud, on Molukenstraat. Very relaxed, locals only, good selection, great prices. God I love Amsterdam...

Grasshopper is nice. Its definitely a tourist coffeeshop since it's right opposite Centraal Station, so the weed isn't the best, but I love sitting out on their terrace on an afternoon just people watching/canal watching :)

Wow! Grasshopper brings back memories! Super skunk! Early nineties! Lol

Visit Katsu Coffeeshop, its close to De Pijp station on the metro. Its a small hidden gem a bit out of the center but close distance like 10min by metro. Absolutely love the vibes there, prices are alright and the quality of the weed is really good too. Also they have a toilet for which they dont charge like other ones lol. I suggest to visit definitely and leave high from there at least once and try to find your way around xd good luck!

Agreed. I went posh and paid silly per gram for some king hassan black 2. Made the mistake of flaming it to locals amusement, and 2 grams literally just bubbled and splatted on the skins within a second of flaming it. What a smoke.
De pipj is amazing. Its where i stay when i used to go. Venture further south, about 750 km from katsu on the main vessel road and and tiny outlets on sidestreets have the best widow ive ever had, a shame i cant remember the name, but it was fitted like a chinese takeaway, no seats, a counter, menu, cheers. My tolerances are fine and could get through a henry of anything on here daily, but 1 joint of that widow was properly whitey brutal class A.

Yep! I’m sure I had the same white widow you had! One spliff
Knock me out cold! So strong I couldn’t stay awake to enjoy it! Had to move onto purple haze not half as strong but I could at least function! Lol

Grey Area for methe buds are 10/10
