Is it no depending on the vendors you've used? I usually use jj & have also used radar breeder. I've never had an issue with any order. I will prob be sticking with jj, but would use RB again. Every order I've got usually in 1 - 2 days, 3 days on bank holiday, using jj free NDD, or RB NDD for a few £s. If uv used different vendors, I'd try jj 1st, or RB. I've had 4 orders over the last month np

I've had 4 orders over the last month. Np s with any, usually use jj, with free NDD, the postage is no ending up being inc in the price of the smoke either, cos prices are pretty much the same as 1s who charge for NDD. I also used Radar breeder & got NDD for about £3-4. Could hav paid less for normal 1st class post. I'm sticking with my usual sellers, & hav been getting decent smoke frm them as well
The rating system is ok but I wish there were rankings. The voting system or algo that appoints these loud mouthed twats you always see as the voice of the community is what needs an overhaul.
there are more vendors and better prices than a few months ago do you realise this?
More vendors yes, as good vendors no, charging $7 to ship $55 8ths lolol, yeah fantastic mate, more vendors means better weed to you?! Clever guy and I get downvoted by you, a fool is easily parted with his money, you’re one of those 10/10 to everything you buy I presume... go to Dam smoke hundreds of strains over 20 years and then give an opinion mate cos that’s what I’ve done.
Do you not see that prices are steadily decreasing? I've downvoted you not for your opinion but that you are using one datapoint to generalise.
Of course more options makes things more competitive that's a foundation of economics.

Nope I don’t see that at all... where? Where are these price drops? Cali maybe but they were being priced too high originally anyways so they had to drop. Prices are the same generally but now they are charging for shipping, that means it’s more expensive now doesn’t it... New vendor with zero history charging $18 a gram lol, firstly who wants a gram of weed? It’d be gone before the postman’s left the street. Then another new vendor charging $7 to ship 2g of herb. Some of the weeds a bit cheaper cos it’s shit weed, people getting mouldy organic crap that smokes like air.
And yeah I totally agree with you on the last comment, but I’m not personally seeing this come into any fruition on here at all especially from the new vendors, they’re coming in with ridiculously high prices with zero groundwork or proof they even know what they’re doing or the quality of their product.

There is a lot you can do, that's the point of this community. Why not take this to escrow and make a dispute?
If you weren't full of shit you would just contact escrow and get your money back instead of making fud.
You’re the only person singing that song here, what’s happened? Did you ask vendors what’s going on
Yeah I asked the vendors feel like I’m getting a run a round
I now have no weed and no money so thanks for that
Fucking amateurs
It’s not the money it’s the fact that I am now in pain and can’t afford any medical herbs until I get paid end of March so what the fuck do I do now?

On this point mate I think you’ve just been very very unlucky, there are some really good vendors on here and some lovely bud available so stick with it find a good vendor and enjoy, I’ve had some banging gear from here and some real real disappointments but overall it’s a great resource and a really fantastic community, I just feel recently quality is slipping, reports of mouldy bud, police visits, average at best smokes, non receipt of good etc is not good.

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.

what about addiction to drama?
sometime i think this
on
{drug abuse}
what about addiction to drama?
not that any bigga would know such people but how can we satisfy them with minimal toxicity?
I would just like to add my thoughts if I may Thom on your thread
I think everyone in the world has something they are addicted to...which could be ANYTHING ... edible or not ... drama addicts are best in groups with others who are of the same ilk, just like a hobby club or something.
I am addicted to nature, and cheese ! ... I could not be indoors for to long, also was addicted to being alone...so literally a human can be addicted to anything...best leave everyone to it ... and just worry about you and yours. Addictions come and go. Some take a hold of you. And others are just a 'binge' session that caused the addiction etc
As for anger... I would like to say that if you do not feel anger after grief... it can lead to severe depression... anger is a natural emotion, that is often not 'allowed' .... BUT ... after grief and sorrow and loss...there is an anger period that must be embraced...so that it does not turn inwards, then comes the peace and understanding...but if anger is not tolerated (even in natural circumstances) then we are heading for a very mentally ill planet. Anger must be safely expressed so that the healthier emotions/feelings can surface...and set the brain straight !
I also recently found out that Tinnitus (that ringing in the ears) causes depression and anxiety, to the point where millions are seeking help through the mental hospitals, because of low funding for research into Tinnitus.
I have it... and it drives me mad sometimes... there is no known cure at the mo... I have learned to live with it...and now I barely notice I have it... last week the estimate was 3.6 million sufferers in the UK alone ... who have no where to turn. As very little funding for them to find a cure.
I would like to hear from anyone else who has any solutions for this, or something that works for them in order to cope with it. I have done alot of research over the years...but it would be great to hear from real people about this ?
Just thought I would mention that briefly, as it may help some people understand what they are going through!

Ok, this will sound weird but sometimes it said to be an energy download think of from nature etc so when you first hear or notice, say oh that another download of light/information/energy etc, then I always think is it safe lol like a computer would but trust and allow it it’s only sound and energy try to absorb it into your body. I am not undermining how bad it is, if someone told me to allow my migraines I would cry!, but I have no choice but to surrender when it gets bad. I know it can be very different how people experience it and also I believe with something like this different things work for different people, so don’t get discouraged if you have to try a few things, I also love homeopathy for anything subtle like the senses as they are delicate and so is homeopathy, I personally would say you don’t need to see someone, it’s so gentle you can’t do harm if it’s wrong like with regular meds, I research the homeopathic remedy and buy it online, same with tinctures, flower remedies etc, they can’t really hurt esp in suggested doses and are gentle and natural like our own bodies :) it is like magic tho.. stuff only works if you believe in it. I really hope you find something, my kids toys are at a pitch I’ve turned off mentally.. people always say, isn’t that driving you mad.. and I’m like what!? I don’t even hear it ❤️
its helped in an abstract way because its good general advice that comes from a good place. thank you.
dr zaius..thank you, yes that was my exact intentions, for something that I wrote to have some value to someone out there :)

how 2 sell here
just like the old world, commerce remains at the heart of society. selling here - even just shit from your closet to get a little bitcoin - makes you vested in this world in a way that is much deeper than posting or buying. and you guessed it - reputation is even more important on this side of the counter. respect that and everything else comes easy.
here's a step by step:
1 accepting payments
get a payment processor like transaxe, bitpay, boc or cryps. they manage crypto payments for you and hold an escrow (escrow requirement seems to be hard coded) based on your risk profile.
login and click go to settings, payment processors and select one of the payment processors, your reputation will expand the choices that are available.
next go over to your processors' site and get an api token to paste back here on your settings page.
2 create 1st item
click on POST ITEM
smoov tips: use wide images, check out the VISIBILITY SETTINGS, you can limit your item's exposure by password and which sites it is published to (numerous and apps websites link to little biggy data).
like any marketplace, fresh and unique items get the most attention along with bargains. make sure your items fit this description, especially when you are new.
3 first sales
best ways out of obscurity are those that serve little biggy at large, in addition to the novelty just mentioned you want:
good ratings from users that buy frequently - this means you have good items.
new visitors from the outside world - if the algorithm sees you are growing this community you get a huge bump. reddit, quora, instagram, twitter and dread are good portals. its how i found this place myself.
good posts - posts that show you love your product/users do great as do valued topics and comments generally. every time you post people see your name and rating but remember that spammy posts are suicidal to visibility.

Why are my items not showing on the items page? They show for a few days then disappear. Only way to access them is via my profile page or links. It's like they don't want me here and I have done nothing wrong apart from provide a grade a service to my customers

There is no they little homey theres us. You are getting plenty of attention it’s your job to do something with it, that's what everyone else has done.
It seems that only one of my products are visible on the items page. But other people have a few listings I can see that are visible.. I really don't understand ?
Yes, all the roads we have to walk are winding.
There so many strains that I would like to sell to you
[your cue uk420]
I found my seller on reddit, she had bongs she advertized there and then I saw her weed once I got here. She doesn't seem to bother with it anymore but I'd say a lot of people came in to her that way. God luck bro.
Thanks for your kind reply
I hear you kid, it's volatile as a noob. The wonderwall feels very generous and very suspicious at the same time. They will bring you right to the dog show the first day but on a very short leash. Momentum feels like the biggest thing, hang in there.

why is the pope of dopes page restricted?
i cant get to his page and there is no announcement anyone know whats going on?
His stock is low so he closed his page , anders said he will be back soon when stocked up again :)
think all the cali importers are struggling at the moment due to the coronavirus, my normal guy off the street has had 1 batch of packs thru in the last 3 weeks. Yes.....ive been crying myself to sleep.
why is it not possible to grow the same quality in the uk? its all indoors and seeds are like public intellectual property
Its not just the quality, sure we can and do grow quality weed....but its the same old samey same weed, the new breeds or "flavas" that are coming out take a long time before u can get ya hands on seeds. I also think that because its now legal over there they can mass produce and with that comes equipment, I don't care what anyone says, you can't grow superior weed with inferior equipment.
thanks i think i understand it now, i appreciate novelty myself.
I think the biggest factor is in the trim, I don't talk for everybody here but when I trim mine I literally can't afford to trim it like they can, I get it pretty good but if u take too much off you've lost a lot of your net weight, they also have the equipment to use every last tricome off the plant so nothing goes to waste, in the UK this isn't most peoples day job, and even when it is they don't care enough about the structure, look, even the very essence of the bud you're holding. Its just bish bash bosh chop it n fuck it off
Jungle boys lets the run go till all the leaves fall off....let that one sink in....lol....
Then, they cut and hamg the whole plant, and theres air that can circulate because the leaves arent there
And the terps are off the chart because the oils come in at the end

And its better when its legal medicinal is still legal, there is a feeling of it being safe I think the plants do well like that, i have had bud in a few places now and its clear there is great bud pretty much everywhere ive seen it legalized

the pain, pleasure of cannabis detox
if you think this post is about you it already is.
and if that last line made you back off from owning then i’m talking to you especially. the basis of addiction is denial just ask your friend’s of bill’s. and make sure you cut them off before you wind up at a meeting, we’ll have none of that here but it is time for you to take a break to clean up and maybe get a little perspective on your usage from an unstoned mind. then perhaps get really stoned and verify you results.
what we’re trying to do here is break the loop of needing to get stoned to maintain. being un-stoned needs to be something you enjoy too. and if you’re always stoned then being un-stoned can often be as novel and trippy as being stoned used to be.
1
in the beginning this all may take a little internal cajoling: think about how much more stoned you are going to be when your system clears out all the cannabanoid residue. like a clean bong, ahhhh. follow the regime below and you’ll prove this right away, it will be the only mantra you need to stay strong.
2
regulate intake, this is much easier to do with edibles, particularly thc caps and hash. your eating routine will have to be regulated around the edibles, they work faster on an empty stomach and are strongest if you eat less and exercise more - if this is beginning to sound like a cure all and the key to a long and healthy life then so be it.
3
when you badly want (need??) to smoke substitute w/ non thc compulsions like:
exercise, especially fun stuff rather than disciplined
listen to favorite music repeatedly
have sex/masterbate
watch a video
play a game
shop
day 1 - jump into the baby pool
cut thc intake to 50% of starting point
use edibles for at least 1/2 of your intake
day 2
drink lots of water from now on
cut thc intake to 40% of starting point
use edibles for at least 2/3 of your intake
day 3
start ramping up the excecise
cut thc intake to 30% of starting point
use edibles for all of your intake going forward
day 4 - 6 - thc scrubbing
cut another small fraction off your thc intake each day, it feels like you’re winning because you are.
note the exercise resurfaces the old thc, increase it to “scrub the bong” into your bloodstream.
day 7 - warm turkey
no thc intake
distracting fun time
day 8 - party on!
indulge in 25% of original intake - this will be more than enough, i promise.
day 9 - you the boss
no thc intake
you know the drill now, exercise and entertain your way into feeling good
day 10 - 30
decrease thc dose, 15% of your original amount is easy to sustain
take every 3rd day off from thc
day 30+
take off consecutive days each week now that you are a healthy partaker in control of your own destiny. congratulations.

Always Be Down-dosing - that's my mantra. Then about once a week I updose :) if I'm with friends or for sport performance, then it's back down every day. Fucking guiltless and I'm always stoned
i think my dad called this english drinking
Thank you for the post man, appreciate it, definitely gonna try my best to follow this through and if I come out on top at the end, maybe I can control my need for weed. ;)
I stopped smoking for about 40 days an I get stoned so easy now it was the first time off it in 13years feel so much better for it
what ya smoking these days?
ww from rb, some of the worst bud ive ever had, pretty sure its been rinsed :(
Definitely helps to have it written out the way you have it, will try it out.
This is such sound advice, the cutting down intake prior to stopping helped immensely. Back to a lower tolerance saves money and makes smoking actually work again. I suffer bad withdrawal usually but with this method and some will power it isn't half as bad. Cheers
blur has the best advice for this
Perfect I think exercise with detox is the ultimate life hack, you can get a fix every time you feel bad and then you've got a healing loop started.
1 rule people: don't dose to feel good, just dose to not feel bad.
I would say if you want to add just a little transition step in there between the smoking and edibles there's always hash. You can smoke it and eat it :)
I feel the same way about binge watching ?
+1, you need a good hobby to distract u from your cravings, exercise helps too, best of luck with the detoxifying
This is great but the thing is there's some of us that need something for the pain. Not the pain of quitting cannabis but the pain of living without it. I got hurt many years ago, tried a lot of things since then and cannabis has been the best answer without a doubt.
I agree with your comment, but I find that anything I use for pain loses its effectiveness over time. Cannabis is best in that I don't get any negative side effects, and it does continue to work well for a good month or so. I also don't have to fear drug interactions like when I'm relying on prescribed narcotics.
The prescription narcotics typically only do a good job on the pain for about 3 days. A new patch is still a bit helpful for a couple of weeks. But all my pain related prescriptions cause side effects varying from mild, to migraines, and serious nausea, going on, and coming off them.
The part that really chaps my ass is the mindset of so many doctors that won't even talk about using cannabis. They either push more narcotics, or tell me there's nothing else they can do, I just have to deal with it. I desperately wish I could make them feel what I do for just a few days, maybe they'd be more understanding.

This is awesome, thanks for it. Can I add 1 thing, it's to the compulsion fighting part. If you're having an overwhelming feeling to partake then just change your environment, get out of the room youre in, walk away from where you are, get in or out if the car. This is one of the easiest and most reliable tricks for clearing your head.
tts is the best vendor here,killer shit and always he's always more interested in what matters.

Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Hey, I dont know if this has already been covered on here but it's something I find fascinating since I was introduced to Prof. David Sinclair by the Joe Rogan experience (#1234 and #1349 if you're interested)
I have attached an article about a small study that was done in California. The study only had 9 subjects and no control arm so I dont think we can take it TOO seriously. But the results, quite frankly, were astonishing.
I'm not going to try and explain how all of this works as I'm sure I'll butcher it but here's a key paragraph from the article.
'For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.'
To me that's pretty crazy, right? And from what I understand there are a couple of effective substances/medications available for reversing the epigenetic clock than were not used in this study.
And if you pay attention to Prof. Sinclair he believes that it is well in the realm of possibility that we could live anything up to 80 years longer in the future.
But what happens when we are all living til we are 180 years old? Will we have enough resources? Will the planet be able to cope with the inevitable mass increase in human population if this is the case? I mean, we seem to be struggling a bit globally as we are.
Just thought it was an interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts.
Happy Monday

I'm not going to try and explain how all of this works as I'm sure I'll butcher it but here's a key paragraph from the article.
'For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.'
To me that's pretty crazy, right? And from what I understand there are a couple of effective substances/medications available for reversing the epigenetic clock than were not used in this study.
And if you pay attention to Prof. Sinclair he believes that it is well in the realm of possibility that we could live anything up to 80 years longer in the future.
But what happens when we are all living til we are 180 years old? Will we have enough resources? Will the planet be able to cope with the inevitable mass increase in human population if this is the case? I mean, we seem to be struggling a bit globally as we are.
Just thought it was an interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts.
Happy Monday

Why? shouldn't we all be asking why we want to live longer, rather than going along with that reactionary action from deep in the psyche of 'Yes ofcourse I want to live longer!' and I don't care why I do........
if you aren't suicidal you want to live, what more do you need than that?
yes sounds like a survival instinct. but isnt that the idea around this evolutionary space?
Thanks just that genetic measurement of age is an eye opener. Seems once you can do this you can measure everything we do against it.
