i think its kind of true blue collar, the foreman is portrayed as fat and fussy

In no order RB, TGT, ULC and Smoggyman all been consistently top sellers for me over the months but it all comes down to what strains and type of grows are best for you, helps if you know what you want.

You're mad if you think all these topics and pics on here are from shills though, weed doesn't need pushing because people already want to buy it that is literally the only reason to be on this site :) The only seller(s) who need shills are the ones that get banned and come back under new names.

Gotta say I agree 100% I can't imagine there is anyone on here that would need to do it unless they got banned and tried to come back lol.

Vendor wise I think you've nailed it other than missing DIUK. They have had some of the best stuff I've smoked in years on here recently.

I've only had one order with DIUK but it was a banging bit. Some of their "wow" stuff lately has looked amazing. Will have to get in on some of it soon!

The wow mac 10 and ice cream cake are hands down the nest stuff I've had from LB. I've had a lot of strains from DIUK but the recent Wow range they have got in with their new grower is just next level compared to the rest.

Well put, the average ratings from verified purchases are more informative than the reviews which often read more like love letters rather than criticism.

Could it be the weed was that good they fall in love with the vendor? xD

serious problem in this game :)

Sounds about right lol.

I've given up on the reviews. They are pretty much useless as most people rate before they have even tried it which is a massive pet peeve for me. I now have an edibles guy and a vape guy and a backup seller. It just seems like this site has a bit of a dark vibe to it atm there seems to be a lot of people complaining about orders being wrong or lost and bad communication. I will also leave a review on the sellers page with a bit of detail about the product so people can know a bit more about the product instead of just reading lots of 10/10 but I haven't tried it yet reviews

Yeah man I dont get the whole review before you receive thing, i mean how on earth can you leave something helpful for others if you aint even tried it yet.
I always try to mention qualiry, stealth and how heloful vendors have been etc, its only fair.

It drives me nuts. Can you think of anywhere else you would leave a review before trying. You don't walk past a restaurant, look at the menu in the window and then post how its great but your not going to eat there until next week

The rating/review system works out as a very vague guide on LB. You should be able to work out who will actually get you something in a reasonable time frame. And perhaps if their stealth is adequate.

As to the quality and detail of the products themselves, the reviews aren't particularly useful. Time for an analogy...

Let's say you're really into your music. The finest thing in your world might be a rare, crackly first edition vinyl of a virtually unknown band, released in the early 1970's. Are the pops and crackles in the audio a good thing? Is this better then music released last year? Does this even make sense to someone who only listens to opera... or jungle... or K-pop?

Most people are only in-tune with what the mass market presents. If you know better, those opinions are largely irrelevant.

Its the relative ratings that matter. It's a very good bet that if 2 items have 50 ratings and one has a higher rating that it's better, especially if the price is similar.

Why we need rankings to see this at a glance.

I must've been lucky or selected the right people??

I do agree would be good to see product / seller rating split.

i like the blurb but not walls of text, im usually too baked to read it all.

Only had 5 strains so far and a hash. all were top notch.

i would say A******* give or take a star LOL

It could all be resolved if reviewers took a minute and a sentence or two to explain their ratings. Just putting a number is of no real help and rating because you’ve received it but yet to try is mind numbing...

my few reviews are done while smoking and 20 mins sat on my ass staring at screen ;)

Lol. I notice on Leafly a lot of reviews are written when totally baked and are very entertaining! (Particularly the ones that start with “Weeeeeeeeeee!!!”)

I'm glad I'm not the only one hahaha

Me too

seem the wall algorithms definitely prefer photos as well

I want to know things are more or less as described, and aren't underweight.

Quality is subjective.

It's a rough metric for me. I don't tell other people how to review and don't expect the same in return. Personally, with respect, I don't really worry about what people believe. If people want to go into detail and be more explanatory, that's up to them. The metric serves well as a trust device, not a wine taster's palate guide, at least for me.

I agree but the shills mainly come from vendors who review there own products get banned eventually then reappear under new names

nobody needs to push weed. people be lining up to buy it right now with how things are.

I appreciate all the reviews here; few have let me down. We need more buyer feedback not more criticism of it. Feel free to lead by example.

People oft moan about the rating system. but it's pretty obvious it's end purpose. The rating is for the overall sale; not just the weed itself. People are able to judge it however nicely or harshly they like with a review to help others below the item.

Out of curiosity who are you referring to? Anyone specific or just people who do reviews with photos in general?

I'm one of those people . Lol am I considered a shill? I'll praise the ass off a product if I like it, pictures included!

I much prefer outdoor organically grown herb. So it's "better" than puffed up hydro grown from my point of view. Others may describe my preferred herb as "no bag appeal/too loose/not dense/not stinky" etc

Therefore reviews are subjective as opinions are involved.

Hence a more complex score rating system would achieve nothing other than confusion.

imho ofc ;)

big up

I'm probably just being thick but what does shills mean?

Refers to someone who is a mate or benefits somehow from giving good reviews.

As a footnote if anyone wants to give me free green I’ll give 10/10 all day long lmao

Ahhh ok that makes sense. Thanks for that mate :)

I put up quite a few reviews but I can honestly say I have no affiliations with any vendors and I just enjoy writing reviews when I've had an amazing smoke. I don't review every one I get because that would take too much time haha.

Can you please rank the sellers?

Do you want rankings in terms of comms and service or bud quality or price? It would honestly vary depending on what you were ranking them for :)

Thank you Mhokurtz each or any criterion you can rank would benefit.

Hmmm ok off the top of my head so apologies of I've missed anyone.

Price id have to say BB, RB and DIUK are always very good for prices and often have a range from budget up to premium to cater for all pockets

Comms and service I've got to say ULC, UK Dank Direct and Super hans are always spot on for comms and they all tend to get back to you very quickly with a nice personal touch.

Bud quality id have to give shoutouts to RB, ULC and DIUK as all 3 of them have always sent me buds that have been good sizes and great smokes.

There are a lot of vendors I haven't tried and I'm sure there are some absolute great ones I've yet to use so don't take my word as gospel and always remember to keep an open mind and use your own best judgement.

My best advice will always be if you are unsure of anything then message the vendor first. Nearly all issues on here can be resolved by talking....we are all stoners at the end of the day and none of us want to deal with the aggro cos that just ruins a great high lol .

thanks Mhokurtz

No worries dude. Credit where credit is due....and thats a prime example of how quick to get back to people you are so that just proves my point lol.

Keep it up dude

I don't really bother with green but for hash, you can't go wrong with hashtaguk or JJ. Great stuff, fair prices and reliable delivery. Excellent customer service too. I ain't a shill. Just appreciate good stuff and good people. If I can get such top drawer stuff, I'm happy to promote them lol.

...and for edibles I would add UK Dispensary...

I think as important as the stealth and comms side of things are it’s confusing if the bud is a 6 why would you rate a 10/10 overall just cause they’ve been nice to you and sent it on time... it’s misleading and I have to say I’ve had some very poorly cured/ flushed bud on here with no sign of this on the ratings. Maybe a separate service rating then just a rating based purely on the bud would be helpful particularly to new buyers who could easily get coned with the current system. Just my thoughts peace

Sorry to arrive late to the party! After reading the thread and giving it some thought, I totally agree that the current rating sysyem is flawed but it is better than nothing. Dodgy vendors will eventually always get found out, regardless if they have a couple of shills leaving glowing reviews - usually unfeasibly quickly after they announce themselves as new vendors. Not everyone leaving reviews is a shill though and once genuine negative reviews start piling up, the 1 or 2 love letters with amazing pics at the start, count for nothing. Also some people arent comfortable leaving a long or in depth or even honest review, for lots of reasons, could be a little worried or intimidated by vendors (who obviously have their names and addresses) even if LB says all reviews are anonymous, people are nervous and so a quick 10/10 with no words leaves the vendor happy, even if the customer truly isnt. Everyone is different but personally I would ideally like to see the following information on any weed and vendor page to help my decsion to buy, out of 10 seems fairest imo:
Vendor: 1) Comms 2) Speed of posting (speed of delivery is out of vendors hands really especially now 3) Stealth/packaging 4) % of confirmed orders that actually get delivered or % of reships and refunds
Product: 1) Bag appeal 2) Smell/flavour 3) Cure/trim 4) Potency/Value for money.
After writing it down, it does seem like a lot but if every review contained some or all of these points, would everyone be able to make a proper informed choice or is it overkill? What does everyone think, what info would you guys look for in particular?

haha me too!

So do I!
Whatever it is, it’s time for us all to come together in agreement! xx

Biggy been good to me.
I’ll be good to Biggy.

GF

Unfair comment really as all businesses have different situations and end games we know nothing about. It also kind of denigrates any vendor who felt the need to shut up shop for just a few days to suit their own circumstances.

lets not praise the strong because the weak might be offended.

I'll be sure to remind the next self employed person I meet that wanting to actually get paid for the work they do is a sign of weakness. Makes perfect sense that.

Cheers BB

Just an observation,but if I told my suppliers,back in the day,that "lm really sorry,but the money I owe you is tied up with these other people,but I can possibly pay you some time soon" I'd have my hands broken.
Dumb and ugly to throw down on anyone who was forced to shut down.

I had a bricky round yesterday to quote me for re-pointing my chimney. It's probably only half a days work but we agreed on £150 cash because it's a risky job getting up there.

After reading all these insightful comments on this thread i've decided i'm not going to pay him.

Instead, when he knocks on the door at the end of the job and asks for the agreed amount of money for the work he's done, i'm going to play some Kanye West, put my hand on his shoulder, look him straight in the eyes and say;

"listen mate, i'm not going to pay you now, you just need to be a bit stronger"

I'll let you know how that one pans out....

Cheers. BB

to continue your analogy i reckon this bricky has worked with you already, he sees the bank is closed and he does his fucking job rather than leaving it like a bitch.

Tell him you can't pay him because of a fire in China and watch his laughter as he knocks your chimney down. Takes him twice as long though, because he's a fucking good builder :)

Makes sense.
I messaged admin. They sent me a link to the pool. Which I could see for myself was jammed.
That was all the confirmation I needed, and was happy to carry on working.


GF

Totally understand your position buddy but I think the point was to try and push for Litecoin rather than a genuine fear of not being paid in the long run.

Not sure how much further we're getting with the introduction of another currency on here but its long overdue for everyone's benefit, customers and vendors.

Hope you're well and all the best.

Cheers BB

Hahaha! Beautiful analogy.

Vendors with dependents and families...

This ^ 100% childish comments and posts help no one.

thank you, we never doubted the LB admins for a moment over here.

when the pressure is on character really shows

not surprised to see most of the og biggaz stayed online, they've seen enough shit with bitcoin to be used to this.

It's only profit when you've been paid. P.S. really hope no vendor's ended up in a sticky situation with their supplies whilst waiting for money from lb.

Hindsight is 20/20.

lol what an idiot. Vendors started shutting up shop when several of em noticed payments were bouncing. On top of that within 48 hours of a few of us shutting up payments started coming in and much smaller than before. Easy to chat shit when you don't have any skin in the game,

Nail on the head!

big bigg up

Seems to be moving at last... my outstanding payments have landed

Yes, you setup your desired address and you'll receive small amounts of BTC to that address.

(I did not bother too much, but I'm receiving ~10 USD worth of BTC per month by sharing)

* Be careful when posting links from LB on another platforms, you could make your self an easy bait to catch (if you live in a state where MJ or derived products are highly illegal)

Karma eh? If you believe in karma doesn't that mean you think that children who are the victims of abduction or torture or sexual abuse or famine or disease...they all deserved it? Can you explain how karma accounts for that?

very sorry for whatever happened but you got some wit out of it. and karma in the bank, spend it wisely kid.

Well dodged, Sir

Love how people downvote my question about karma but don't have a response to it

Would be the smartest thing they could do, what they fuck are they doing otherwise - besides providing testimony to inequality?

accent calibration?

Last comment on this subject from me;) humans are almost clones of each other. For example to apes are always more genetically different than any two humans and they basically do the same in life due to most being born in to similar situations. So it’s very easy to judge people for their mistakes, when if born in the same situation, we may do very similar things. It’s very easy to say how wrong things were and are from the we have everything we need perspective that we look from nowadays in developed countries anyway. Using others for your own gain is wrong imo but if you were born into the Royal family, ask yourself, how vocal about reparations would you be? Peace

Who to?

I'll have a bit, probably give it to charity but the thought would mean a lot.

bigg up

The royals don’t have bank accounts or given any cash so how it would be the firm who are the slave masters of the royals watch Harry’s speech about it they are only allowed direct material items i suppose they can hand out their TVs and shirts off their backs? Do your research.

Nice idea though. If anything it should be the government but then it’s been so long now it’s like getting paid for someone running over your dog it’s not really the same as it never happening in the first place but smart fascism and racism is bigger than ever. And it always stems from the top down never the other way around.

in short their finances are
assets: around 1 billion
income from property: 20 million pounds every year
income from each of our pockets: 80 million pounds every year

reckon they can afford something here and still live it up like they like to.

Slavery still exists , it’s just changed name to employee. If you are working, it’s for shareholders benefit,

The means of exchange for employment is money. The means of exchange for slavery is the threat of violence. Most humans can see a big difference in this.

uh yeah i think its a little different if you're getting paid for your work and have a choice of employers. different than being kidnapped or bred into a life of hard labour.

this, what we are forced to live, is not slavery as on a cotton plantation, but it still is slavery. best proof is the "distribution of wealth". its just a different kind of slavery. where we are our own slave-drivers haha. it is essentially feudalism and it is becoming digital more and more.

feudalism is very different to slavery, some of our ancestors had the pluck to get out of it and become tradesmen, artisans, even adventurers. today a lot of people are born into fucked circumstance but many more have education and at least a shot.

a slaves life (if they made the journey which murdered a majority of them) was *nothing* like this.

literally no, but conceptually yes. at least to my mind

I won’t write a response because it would take a lot of writing for you to see the similarities. Just ask yourself though. How much of your life is for you? Why did you get sent to school? Can you roam about freely? How many of us are stuck in a job , just so we can pay the bills? Who is benefiting from your consumption? Are you doing what you want to be doing or are you enriching someone else’s life by working hard? What does that sound like? Peace;)

it sounds nothing like moral equivalence, not by orders of magnitude. it also sounds like a response, just a very weak one.

Well I hope you eventually find some level of peace and a way to deal with the reality of life now and our shared history for your future sanity;) take care

and a weaker gas light attempt, like a match next to a small fart.

Not really. I mean it , truly. Why haven’t I downvoted a single post of yours? Because I feel for your tormented minds

All life is suffering. So make it meaningful :)

Now your talking. Agreed;)

Well said

"It wasn’t wrong then though." Cue modern day comparison. You are so uninformed it's actually a bit sad but more proper cringe tbh.

Yes I am the sad one. I’m not the one whining about how wealthy others have been 100’s and thousands of years ago by following the laws of their time. Whining about others is just a deflection from your own faults;) try thinking about what you can do now to make the world a better place, not whining about history. Also now the black people who are descendants of slaves don’t seem to want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage, right? I wonder why;)

Who's been whining? Me (no) or some other or every single Black person? And why on earth would some random U.S/U.K Black dude "want to go back to live in the country of their genetic heritage". What planet are you living in? A very white one, I imagine.

Only because my grandparents had to flee out of their country due to they would of been killed . Also stripped of their lands / money and I am not asking for reparations from anyone. Just saying

fair enough and i would probably feel the same from that perspective but what you are missing is the punitive damages aspect of the liability.

at a time when the world is turning more separatist and fascist it's especially valuable to know that shit like that is held accountable for ever.

Right. And so do you want to "go back to live in the country of YOUR genetic heritage"? Or do you think that question doesn't apply bc you're White? I think that's the road you're going down here, isn't it? Assuming it's WWII, there's really no Nazi's left for you to claim reparations from, is there? If your Grandparents are from the middle east, then reparations are for the regime of that time and place whether current or not. BTW I think any Black person claiming reparations is an attention seeking fool, usually found on the end of a megaphone dictating the new world order to a bunch of (majority) white middle class uni students basically out on a day-trip with banners like "white privilege is real" and "eggs are a chickens period!".

You can see through the bullshit w/o being bias. Just saying

how the fuck is white privilege not real?

Straight out the gate. Chill, Raj, or your banner with all its bullet points of what White Privilege is may get damaged. Simply put, because I'm White, have grown up with Black friends with more advantages and privileges than me. I've lived in council estates all over the UK, some of which I'm the minority. The only ppl that seem to scream white privilege are Americans and UK white middle-upper class angry women, who are without a shadow of a doubt; PRIVILEGED. Same colour as me, but worlds apart. It's that simple. Don't try and tell me I've had more advantages and not used them, w/o knowing the first thing about me - just that I'm white and therefore privileged? Is that the sum of the profiling, Raj?

Make this guy a politician please

We needs some robots

be careful what you wish for

I think we dont. All this crazy shit we see happening is directly linked to "we need more robots"..

shout out to royal mail while were at it :)

Have a look at the bitcoin price for the gear, it has also change, the price is set according to the dollar and not bitcoin

The few orders I made on here have charged the btc rate when it come to the payment page but the advertised price in $ remains the same so is no real indicator of the real price.

thank you - nooberror : )

No worries, my pleasure

how does this all work? like does trading in goods for bitcoin add more value to it somehow?

It's one part of it what influences the price which I do believe is their goal - global currency but I would say trading the coin and investing in it is main reason for it to grow and dip specially now when lot's of people are on it and some of these people buy billions and millions of bitcoin and store it on a hardware to sell it later which then is not available for others plus it has to be mined and if people are buying more than coin can be mined of course price will raise. I hope this makes sense and for sure there are other factors which I haven't mentioned influencing the price.

I think it’s down to large markets and also supply/demand.

I’m at the stage I’m going to stop on here purely because I’m buying weed with what is for all intents and purposes digital gold

Considering the amount of vendors on here the prices are high! Very high, risk is always with customer paying upfront. Competition is supposed to bring down the prices

Not true. Escrow mitigates the risk of paying up front.

yeah, prices are becoming eye watering! would be good to see more reasobaly priced decent bud on here! :)

but you arent paying double... BTC may have rocketed, but you pay $ price for products. you may get less BTC for your £, but providing the $ doesnt increase, your purchase price shouldnt increase. how fees are affected by this i dont know...

only if you bought BTC low..

my wallet trying to charge me 15 on a 60 order with the highest priority transfer speed lol
