When people talk about America, they speak as if it’s all one place but it’s actually different states all over so if you can imagine Texas can be Scotland and California is England. So what we see on the news doesn’t happen in every state as some states have a lot of mixed communities in comparison to others. So I guess you would be fine in general just be careful where you go.♥️

As a black person should I avoid visiting the US?
I have 3 weeks off this August and would like to see the United States for the 1st time. I can get a visa but I am worried about hassles from immigration, the police, etc based on everything I see that happens there. It’s not a cheap trip and if there’s a chance it’s going to get ruined I’s rather go somewhere else even though I have always wanted to drive across America.
It's not as bad as it looks on tv! Black people are a hugely important part of American culture and the object of love and admiration across a lot of different sub cultures. The immigration and law enforcement officers you are talking about are very likely to be African American themselves.
Yes there are some places where the inner city conflicts with the suburbs and its surely a racial situation but that's an isolated phenomenon and is unlikely to come up on your trip.
Enjoy the states and if you are going to make it to Chicago hit me up :)

As a "black" person, I would visit Atlanta, Georgia in US....if you enjoy large cities....Atlanta's metro population is 70% black....
Out of curiosity. How is Chicago now? Got a few american buddies who watch me play online an they have told me to not go L.A an if I do at least avoid north L.A and also said not to visit Chicago
You're not likely to get any hassles from immigration. As for the police, you should be OK. The precaution you'll have to take with them will be to a) avoid as discreetly as possible and, b) if they do engage you, cooperate at all times and never be argumentative in any way. If you have a legit problem with an American officer, take it up through legal channels AFTER the incident. Never during. That is a sure way to escalate.
Follow the rules above, and you'll be fine. Road trips highly recommended!

From my experience at first police may be arms house,
No good cop bad cop both will be bad cop. But once they hear your accent and you tell them you ain’t no N****** but a black man from UK they will change and you be ok.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Once the accent is evident and they know you are a tourist there should be no hassle, provided you are breaking no laws - also something to be careful with since laws vary from state to state. Smoke safe, smoke free.
So you are just telling him to be subservient to the cops, bow your head and you will be fine? What sort of holiday is this? What sort of mentality is that?
Yeah, cos black people stopped by racists cops have the time to be strategic! Brilliant! We are so stupid that we never think of being "strategic".
Same as anywhere nowadays, do your research find out where not to be etc, just dont reach for your identification too quickly and youll be fine!
I felt exactly the same as a mixed race guy with a few Arab country trips under my belt. It's a different situation, but immigration particularly worried me.
Then I went to Vegas and did a bit of a Harley Davison road trip. I found nothing but warm generosity from everyone I met along the way. As those above, people of all races went out of their way to be more kind and helpful than I've ever experienced at home.

Stop watching the MSM, be polite and don’t be a jerk or break the law. Basic really. People of all races can fall victim to a bad cop just like they can meet one who’ll help them out.
I’m a white American leftist, and I’ve got my eye on social policy all over the place. Obviously America is reckoning with its generations-old, overt racist culture right now, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go see a gorgeous country. Wherever you go, the police will likely be 100% dogshit because that’s what police are. Absolute bottom line, I hope this post is old as fuck because PLEASE don’t travel, PLEASE don’t push these guidelines for COVID
You said it all in your first 5 words. Some of my friends are police and without them we’d be at the mercy of the mob much like parts of America are now. There are good cops, there are bad ones. By tarnishing a whole set of people in a negative way you’re no better than the racists you mention. Ridiculous comment.
Nice generalisation and overtly activistic comment. It doesn't answer the question and posits vastly inaccurate information. Much love though.
White American I guess cos this is not what I hear from friends and family over there but hey call my comment what you wish.. much love though
I thought I'd let you trip yourself up on your own assumptions, rebel against what people ask or tell me to do, then impart I have black family in both the USA and the UK (that probably counts for nothing against pure activist ideology because people are never happy no matter what your factual postion). Did you ever ask what my race was? Neither my family nor me need activists fighting our battles. Thanks for the wokish concern, but please virtue signal elsewhere :)
No victims here.
Peace out. xxx

Now I understand why racism is such a poison in America , you guys seem to either ignore it or deny it or just minimize it as if nothing ever happens..sad b..
You should be fine, just avoid Washington and Oregon if possible. They aren't the most welcoming.
It's not to that degree at all. Some may go out of their way to accommodate you out of shame.
Have an awesome time, in the south you will be the majority race in most situations (at least the fun ones).
Just remember when someone asks "how is your day going?" it means you should be reaching for a tip. ;)

I'm in the middle of re-watching Spaced and felt like I had to scroll for hours to find somebody who finally mentioned it! xD
Thank you - you just reminded me I need to re-watch spaced again!
I was too old for it even back then, but the clever references still tickle me all these years later..

Ah fuck it, nothing better to do, haha
The Wire - best thing ever written. Slow burner due to complication of story, but it is relatable as the war on drugs does not have a start or end to it, and street dealing doesn't just start, therefore you are immediately immersed in the story without even realising. Only figured that out the second time watching it. Also some great visual metaphors throughout. Also note there is no cue music to instigate feelings. All music is from source, i.e. car radio, night club. Only cue music is when Avon enters the lowrisers for the first time
The Ozark - Although breaking bad is good, it's not worth the hype. This is the older cooler brother of breaking bad. Calculated and intense at times. Story is always moving forward with real character progression
Altered Carbon - Absolutely fantastic sci-fi with great visuals and a great story line. Really left me itching to read the book, and I'm not a sci-fi fan
Arrested Development - Intelligent comedy with so much layered jokes you can watch this five times and still find punch lines you never noticed before
People Just Do Nothing - Threw this on not expecting much which is perhaps why I found it to be so good. Off the wall characters made completely believable by the actors playing the parts. Excellent idea, excellent execution.
Peep Show - This is a classic, you need to watch this
Trailer Park Boys - Another classic everyone here should be able to relate to
Big Mouth - Great for a background watch, but really funny and does take you back to your teenage years at times, haha
Fargo - Beautiful cinematography, great story captured very close to the original film. Billy Bob absolutely shines in this role in season one
Life On Mars - Made in early naughties, but just as relevant as today
Dark Tourist - good short run of a different kind of travel show. The kind of travel I like too
The Wolves Of Yellowstone - Nature documentary that has a story line Walt Disney would be proud of. Really makes you realise the balance of nature
Utopia - Such an underrated British TV series
It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Great zany show about dysfunctional friends who live in their own world, and drink in their own pub causing all kinds of ridiculous antics
Homeland - Great series that will always have you wondering what, or who is next
The Killing - Only recommend the first seasons. It drags you along on the witch hunt convincing you you know the answer
Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.
The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences

Peep show one of my all time favs and can't to wrong with arrested development what a classic
Sad that they never manager to run the show normally... And probably we won't se another season ever :( love arrested development
Currently halfway through the first series of Altered Carbon after reading this thread and seeing your recommendation. I'm a PhilipKDick fan and I'm really enjoying it, cheers 👍
Oh my god its been years since I've watched utopia and now I'm all excited to dive into the twisted wacky world of 90's conspiracies that now seem quick mundane as they are basically happening now
Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.
End of the fucking world is really good. Strange and offbeat which I like. With some characters that don’t give a fuck. And it’s British and very relatable (even though it’s about a lad that thinks he’s a psychopath haha).
100% but do you think you could watch them the other way round and it’s all still as good? As I really do, integrated them amazingly well.
Yeah I agree, I liked BB a lot but I came to it a bit late and like UKgrower hearing the hype maybe expected too much. Better call Saul I didn’t expect much of at all, didn’t think it’d get past Series 1 but now I think it’s better than BB.
If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, then give Better Call Saul a go. I always thought he stole every scene he was in during Breaking Bad.
Literally just finished watching brassic 2 and Save me Too. Both class. Surely everyone on here has watched Brassic.....!!!?
I do, doesn't quite hit the levels that Shameless did back in the day but still a lot of fun. Plus it's good to hear actual accents on TV instead of just American lol
I'm watching Detectorists at the moment. Really good. Funny and with beautiful scenery. On BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
Shout for detectorists.
Great theme tune btw.
Excellent characters.
Great series about the sackler family’s and there murderous medical misbehaviour ( painkiller )
Starring ferris bueller.

*Sherlock
*Lie To Me

*Sherlock
What would you say is the closest or better than queens gambit, i really enjoyed it and it was so different to anything i normally watch (drug/crime/violence) - I love that series so much.
Orphan black! one of my favourites.. the wire.. Russian doll..cynical,funny. end of the fucking world. Money heist.. prison break..cleverly written. Better call Saul if you enjoyed breaking bad.
Rick and Morty and weed is my favourite combination. Snoop dog’s talk show on YouTube is hilarious to watch as-well.
I find American horror story hilarious, but only when I’m high, otherwise it’s pretty terrifying lol.
Films : seven psychopaths is a must watch, requiem for a dream and pulp fiction, all time faves. and I did write a detailed review and much more but it was deleted :/

yes, they will all help make it worse. on the bright side, since everybody started typing on their phones, dyslexia is hardly noticeable anymore and you really don't have to apologise.

Yean Gomorrah is probably my number 1 show, the setting, actors, story... superb. Cant wait to watch the Ciro Di Marzio movie too.
L'Immortale or the Immortal is the name, was out last year in Italy. Have tried to find out when its out in the UK but no joy yet
Its on sky atlantic now mate, its certainly worth a watch an sets up the next season of Gomorrah nicely
If you like weird? Get baked & watch.

Respect for Garth Merenghi, everybody should see that.
On that note, throw Mighty Boosh into the mix as well.
Big Train to round off a trio of lesser-known, top quality British comedies.

Ifyou seen BB, definitely watch Better Call Saul.
Comedy? The Office US and then Parks n Recreation. Or maybe Shameless US? Little Britain it's always great company.
If you seen Broadwalk E, you probably have seen the sopranos. If not its a MUST! Ive been watching House of Cards and it's quite nice too.
Maybe 6 feet under, Weeds, Dexter, Chuck, My name it's Earl??
Cience? COSMOS!!! A mind blowing and mind opening cience series. Everyone should watch it before they die. Either the original and first with Carl Sagan (it might not have the best visual representations but Carl its Carl) or the new Neil Tyson.
In to some stand ups? George Carlin is a must, the young Carlin to the old political Carlin.
I would also like to give a shout out to my Spanish Fellows on THE Money Heist.

Yo UK Grower. I have just discovered Channel Zero on StarZplay, prime add on. It’s a really good horror series, twisted stuff, defo a bit freaky.
To any one who likes comedies don't be put off What We Do in the Shadows, it's vampires but it's not really a "vampire" type show.... it's really funny when high and the second series has just come out on iplayer.
If you're into Sci-fi I'd highly recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix. Really cool story and visuals. I seen somebody recommended Ozark, excellent as well. If you like animation and feel like a laugh give Rick and Morty a watch, The Midnight Gospel is also new to Netflix but really trippy / funny in my opinion. Happy watching!
Have you ever watched Travellers? (if you was a fan of stargate back in the day this will interest you) or if your a sci fi fan, Very good story telling and actors (Canadian)
i liked that a lot more than i thought i would. also, colony on netflix even though it was killed by covid and never finished.
I almost pissed myself with laughter watching the first episode as I watched the trailer but wasn't really for how out there this really is. A must watch for any sci fi and gaming fan or if you have a sick sense of humour like me :)
Stranger Things Season 1 - 80's themed sci-fi thriller with endearing characters that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.
True Detective Season 1 - Basically an 8 hour movie that oozes quality. Pacing/cinematography/acting/dialogue are all A++ for me.
Trailer Park Boys - Get baked, watch this, laugh your arse off.
Peep Show - Clever and hilarious.

Band of Brothers is a masterpiece, great shout! Any recommendations of war films/series that are similar mate?
Give 'The Pacific' a go. Its HBOs follow up to 'Band Of Brothers' set during the allied assault on the Pacific region during WW2
Trailer Park Boys should be perfect for everyone on here, given the enormous amount of smoking and growing throughout!
Since it hasn’t been mentioned here , it only proves how massively underrated Wilfred is . Had great laughs :) U.S. version of an Australian cult sitcom about a meek young man and a pot-smoking talking dog named Wilfred (actually actor Jason Gann in a dog suit, whom everyone else sees as just a dog). Won’t spoilt it anymore
Gotta be Trailer Park Boys
(still on Netflix atm)
The American office is a good
watch too with many eps

The Christmas special of Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing done in THE most beautiful part of the country North Yorkshire! Great watch when baked as fuck haha :)
The Grand Tour is back as well for anyone in to that, done to death obviously but atleast it's something new to watch lol

If you liked Breaking Bad you might like Better Call Saul... it's slower but the writing and cinematography are actually better imo. Plus by S5 the pace is basically on BB levels.
The Boys or Doom patrol, quality shows right there & the wire If you didnt see it yet,too many to name mate but try them
Undone is good and trippy with the animation style it uses and pretty unique story to boot.
You (season 1). Solid watch but latest series was a waste of time.

Get the amazon Prime free trial and watch Picard, star trek spin off - it's really good, not what you expect.
also i love disco/history/natgeo... skin walker ranch program on at the mo is interesting. history but avail on catchup bro
Dunno if these have been broached, but try some Aussie drama
Pine Gap
Underbelly
The Magician / Mr Inbetween
All great watches but Mr Inbetween tells the story of your everyday underworld enforcer. Ive watched it in full 3 times and regularly watch YouTube clips. Never has the word run hit so hard

Watching Yellowjackets at the moment, pretty good but if you watch the pilot episode don’t be put off as that’s a bit shit, it does get better!
Watched “From” before that, that was pretty good too…

The Start Up, it's on Netflix. 2 series' that I've thoroughly enjoyed. Defo worth a watch!
Devs.
New Alex Garland (Ex Machina) series on FX & Hulu in the states, not sure where in the UK. Totally brilliant, and the best cinematography I've seen on TV. Ran here in spring 2020 and I'm still thinking about it.

just call Saul was better than breaking bad in some ways (last series a bit disappointing tho). Always interested to see if people liked the Midnight Gospel (single series, animation, also Netflix).
The Sopranos, the Wire, The Americans (best ending), boss season 1, the Divide 2014 (hard to find but worth it), true detective 4, xfiles season 4.
I just rewatched 'The Lost Room'
It's a miniseries with 3 90min episodes and it only ever had one proper airing so nobody I've ever mentioned it to has seen it.
Definitely worth a watch though💜💚👊🏻

If no one has said it yet, Banshee. A pro thief / seriously tough guy played by Anthony Starr ( Homelander from the boys) rolls into town, assumes the identity of a recently deceased new Sheriff that no one has met yet. Boom, he's now the law in town and is actually very good at stopping crime. Insane realistic violence, Amish gangsters, bikers, native American mafia and lots more, best show I've ever seen

Brand New Cherry Flavour if you think you'd find the subject of psychedelic sorcery played out as a fictional horror story interesting
Often overlooked, but Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame created this absolute gem....highly reccomend...as smart as it is funny...
15/7.
You could try black mirror.

Can’t remember all but loch Henry and demon 79 were fck brilliant from the last season. 🌬️🍀

I'm surprised no one suggested Family Business (on Netflix). A great comedy series about a family in Paris who runs a Kosher butchers and end up producing vast amounts of Pastraweed!
Really funny, great actors and all around fun to watch.
A French Breaking Bad without all the stress in a way!

I never thought I'd see someone mention The Platform. Great film if you've got your stone on! Alice in Borderland is brilliant also it's like a mash-up of The Prisoner and Battle Royale.
I know this is a bit of old news but have you seen Schitts Creek? I just discovered it and it is so funny

The Man in the High Castle is loads of fun, especially if you’re a fan of PKD. Classic UK series that are great: Line of Duty, The Fall, Peep Show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Succession is better than you'd think. Punisher is the best out of all the Marvel shows, Daredevil is also very watchable (and Jessica Jones if you're into angry women with PTSD). Umbrella Academy is fun to watch. The Magicians ditto. Also The Boys.
One of my all-time favourites will always be Daria.
I just love that sassy, sarcastic, little oddball in her socially satire highschool world. Sometimes it hits close to home.
Hoops on Netflix is also worth one or two laughs.
Tuca & Berti is also the right amount of strange.
Our Planet is a great background noise, a lot of beautiful scenery overviews.
Not in Netflix, but how about the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel. It's funny, educational, soothing commentary,cute Art style a great variety of topics etc.

Loads of top shows already mentioned on this list so trying not to repeat(can't stand repeats). Didn't notice a mention for The Newsroom, absolutely brilliant with super slick dialogue, maybe stick to sativa for that one.
Also the classic stoner sit coms Top Buzzer starring a young Steven Graham and Ideal with Jonny Vegas, they will do for the indica night.
Once the hash and concentrates come out just put Taskmaster on it is the best thing c4 have done for a long time and requires zero brain power to enjoy perfect couch lock fodder

Fargo is probably the best series ever after GOT. Better Call Saul was brilliant too after a slow start. Better than Breaking Bad for me.
All the seasons are good and different stories so don't need to watch in order. All true apparently. The movie's a bit dated now but a great watch too.
Murder Mountain on Netflix. An oldie but a goodie. All about the emerald triangle in California and how it moved from illegal weed growing into legalisation and the lawless nature of the industry.
New British comedy horror on prime with Simon Pegg and nick frost, only a short one but was enjoyable, there’s this once scene when nick frost thinks he is about to get shanked and it’s hilarious.
It’s called Truth Seekers

Resurrecting the Dead From Outer Space
Nikolai Federov founded Russian Cosmism, a philosophy based not only on the quest for immortality but also a resurrection of the dead by harvesting their particles from space.
if you are happy with a transporter room kind of version then sure, but did we tell you about your premium storage options?
Great idea. Better stay away from singularities (black holes) though. Small matter of your residual info on the event horizon sputtering away like radio static thanks to Hawking radiation.
If this is possible then it's the kind of thing another intelligence may come up with already. Maybe we are part of such a process ...

You know this isnt totally crazy, the cost of putting a head into space is coming down and then the cold storage is free for a real long time.

all about the game. all of it. 1st person shooter to civilization builder but what irks me is not any of this, it is what it is and its fun we could do worse universe wise.
what shits me is people using simple game theory as a compass for life in all of this. the real platform is complex and undo buttons are hard to discover so when a tic tac toe strategy is presented as some kind of parable for life it's fucked, not just stupid. demoralizing might be the best word for it at least in it's worst sense.
once a story can be divorced from it's moral we are only left with technique. ok but again a simplistic looks at optimizing some easily digested metric is fucked for a human life.

EXACTLY christopher...you are 100 on that one !!! :) for real .....I know, that I know, that I knoww knowwww.....:)
Of course it isnt-life is far too chaotic not to mention situational and subjective that any logical theory falls short and that includes game theory.
yes in order to interpret us game theory reduces us
then we feel the theories when their algorithmic encapsulation acts upon us
and then we act like the game theory in order to game the algorithm

this is getting even worse as people look at the kleptocrats running the game they realise cheating is the way to win
great piece on this
I'm going to be a contrarian and say game theory is humanity's only chance at survival. It's our best weapon to control A.I.
it really comes down to just oversimplifying objectives. and you can win. i want to be a president, im willing to do anything and on each move im willing to screw over anybody at any time if it doesnt hurt me. if you are psycho enough and dedicated enough you can be putin.
Hi PHDs ..... I am living it in real life as we speak...I can confirm ...take care everyone... its the people you are around that are the problem.... ''hell is other people'' that is a quote ... and I am sad to say that it is TRUE... only keep 100s close, but , yes , keep enemies close to...but at a safe distance from you, your house and ur family and pets... stay safe...it is NOT safe where I live...gangs with machettes and knives and guns... I have been assaulted abused stolen from over and over... stay safe... its real life shit...and yes people are dying...and yes more will die from crazy neighbours and crazy loved ones..and crazy police...and.... stay safe :) PM me PHD if you would like to discuss further ... I would love to discuss this bloody game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just click COMPOSE in messages and type Beauteous and my name will come up...

Favourite thing to eat when really high??
Like.... what's the one thing that hits the spot for you? Mine is a peanut butter and nutella sandwich with a handful of frosties in the middle. ???
who didn't? But it was a serious answer. I make a wicked Green Dragon and once I have some, I have an uncontrollable desire (my wife can vouch).
Lol good answer Ram9198 mate ha ha !!!! With chocolate mousse and or with. whipped cream !!!! Very mourish
Easy one. Grilled cheese sandwich.
Ingredients
---------------
1. Two slices of Warburton's Thick Toastie bread. (Orange package.)
2. Sun dried tomatoes, chopped finely.
2.5. Chili flakes. (optional)
3. Generous slice of Gruyere cheese.
4. Thin slices of parmeggiano regiano.
5. One or two slices of mild cheddar.
6. One or two slices of red leicester, mature.
A. Butter slices of bread heavily, but only one side of each.
B. Put a pan on the hob, very low heat. (low-n-slow is the secret here)
C. Put first slice of bread on the pan, butter down.
D. Place Gruyere and parm on top of the bread in the pan.
E. Sprinkle chopped sundried tomatoes and chili flakes on top.
F. Layer on mild cheddar, then red leicester cheese.
G. Place second slice of bread on top of the top layer of cheese, butter side up.
H. Cover pan with a metal bowl if you have one. (Helps melt cheese and toast evenly) Optional.
I. Toast low-n-slow. Flip over carefully. Keep flipping over until cheese is melted and bread is preferred degree of brown/toasted.
Try it. It'll blow your mind.

Masala fish in naan, with lettuce and onions and a nice chilli mint sauce and a lovely exotic drink like passion fruit to wash it all down.
I’d probably have to say any type of fast food. For example KFC, Pizza Hut or McDonald’s, etc.
Apple cut into wedges and smothered in peanut butter. Not your healthy 100 % nuts shit that you find in Holland and Barrett, I'm talking Asda home brand 98% sugar ones.
Cheesecake for me mate. The mini ones they sell in asda are unreal. Or chocolate trifle. Either way I'm like a pig in shit lol.

Point click and rat. Does anyone think this is a good thing?
This reminds me of the Chinese Social Credit Score system. Very bad precedent for society at large. This might be happening in SF, just because everyone there is trying to cook up every conceivable concept for an app in order to turn a buck.
from a prankster perspective? hell yeah it's a good thing. you can freak out an entire neighborhood w an alien costume whenever you get bored.
there are a lot of people that are hardwired for this, i guess we need them but i think id rather be in front of the camera in this medium

Police/govt are so fckeng able that they have to spend OUR millions on programs so that we turn on each other and do a bit of snitching on ones neighbor or even a family memeber, some random strangers ...
I can tell you one thing, no one asked me for permission or have I signed anywhere for this to be done to us and funded by us. So its been done against my fckeng will, probably against yours too

Not genuine. Not by a mile.
None of this stuff has ever been on the shelf in either northern or southern California. And if it ever was, it would have been years ago.
Hate when people do that, write a line or two to discredit a product or seller and do not give any factual evidence to back up the claim.
The only opinion that matters is the paying customer, remember that.

Are we alone in the universe?
With all the new discoveries of exo planets being found within the habitable zone of stars.. we seriously can't be the only life in our own galaxy never mind the universe.. what's everyone's view on this..?
There's got to be some other things out there. It would be arrogant of us humans to think that we are the only civilised life in the entire universe. I just hope when they make an appearance they've got some kick ass weed. Lol
Great question; one that all of us probably think about often. However, I sometimes wonder if it's the wrong question. The question of life outside of Earth -- is it a red herring? If a miracle like life can arise in the Universe, what else might be going on out there in the Vast Wilderness? Is life the ultimate miracle, or could there be other fantastic things out there which are just as profound as life? Do we have a tendency to exhibit bias in our curiosity about ET life because we are life forms ourselves?
What other flavors of miracle might be out there? Is life just one of the many rare, yet possible, phenomena that can happen? Or is it the "be all end all" of fantastical things?
What else might there be besides life that is equally profound? I don't know. I'm just a glorified monkey with no access to warp speed. And I'm still waiting for the JWST to launch.

It's too much man. I can't help but think when i'm reading loads about 'extraterrestrial life' that we should also considering 'extra dimensional life'. Also exploring inner space as much as outer.
Of course there are other beings in the universe. Since we now know earth-like planets are quite common, and that 1 in every 10 stars have at least 1 habitable planet candidate, it would imply there are millions, if not billions of planets with life. Whether that is intelligent life or not depends on evolution and a number of other factors.
After all the shit that's being going on in the world up to now, no i really don't think we are alone in this universe, i hope one day that proof of other other life forms can actually be established, as i know that there are other planet's with a similar structure to earth that are indeed habitable, but getting to one of them is near on impossible, especially with regards to the type of technology we have as of right now.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories that aliens have visited Earth, but I definitely believe there is life out there somewhere. It's possible that life exists on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. There are some missions to Titan being planned to find out if life exists there.
I am a believer of the Multiverse theory, that there are other universes outside of our visible universe.
I highly recommend getting stoned and laying out at night looking at the sky. If you have binoculars bring them along! Telescopes are better but not everyone has access to one.
You can also download the free open source planetarium, https://stellarium.org/
I use it almost daily to see when the moon will rise and set, as well as planning out stargazing sessions.
We are all made of stardust. We are all connected.

If only nasa would be truthful and tell people what they know. Instead of hiding their findings. Cutting short live images from the international space station as soon as something strange fly's by.cum on NASA spill.
Space is getting smaller with the tech they have, it just keeps getting better the tech. Soon I think they will find some sort of life. I'm really confused at how they know how many light years away something is,cant get my head around that . Interesting article the other day on nasa site posted if your into your space news UK 420 10/10
No, we are quite clearly not alone.... I’d say it’s actually statistically impossible we are alone, our understanding of ‘life’ and where life can be sustained is based on organisms we know, all these uninhabitable planets are uninhabitable to us and to life we understand, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Statistically, we could be the only living souls in this Universe.
However, this Universe is not the end of the world, as we know it.
However, this Universe is not the end of the world, as we know it.
'This Universe' is right. Or ares exists simultaneously across the multiverse. At the same time, it would also be the end of the universe 'as we know it' because we're dumb fuckin' apes :) hits blunt

Stash spot
I remember seeing a post on here a while back with people posting cool photos of their stashes. I've lived in a small place with young kids for a long time, never been able to get a nice setup for my stuff until now. Have my own office and ended up getting this really nice filing cabinet. What's cool about it is it has a key, and locks all 3 drawers. So this whole thing has now basically become my stash spot, with the lowest shelf actually being used to store all my paper work.
One of the weirdest purchase of my life that ended up being awesome. Got my a nice stash spot for my weed/supplies and my taxes lol.
Ended up blacking out some of the photo to make sure there isn't any identifiable stuff on there. Figured I need to be careful with what I show on here.
I've enclosed another photo of the second drawer and the whole unit. I would really recommend getting something similar if you can. This one wasn't even too expensive and is super well built. Came assembled.
Would love to see more stash spot photos from ya'll!

I feel this is a prime opportunity to tell everyone about these £1 glass pots in Wilkos. Fits an 8th with room to spare! :D
Those look nice indeed. Thanks! The spice jars are a hangover from not too long ago when I kept all my weed in spice jars to hide them from company lol
Secondary storage for my butane and torch... and who could forget my lovely hair press for that sweet rosin haha.
The whole thing with room to store all your documents in a legit filing cabinet. Two birds with one stoner.

Your concentrates are the best I’ve had on here. Will be getting more after my tolerance break ends at the start of February =)
I’ve wanted to try one of those zombie sticks forever, so that would be very much appreciated =)

Been pressing that rosin hard over the holidays... figured I'd share some fun pressing results, they are starting to look more and more like art haha.
Looks awesome, I’ve been following your rosin pressing with great interest. I think it’s only a matter time the face of Jesus shows up in one of your presses haha.
haha! for sure =)
It's been a lot of fun, look at it as a bit of a hobby with a nice reward at the other end. Shocked at how simple it is.

Yeah looks like you went from beginner to pro in record time. It’s something I will be looking into when I get a decent amount of sticky bud for sure. Thanks for taking the time out to make the posts, it’s appreciated.
EPIX!!! Merry Christmas!!
I have been doing this exact same thing with my festive break, was gonna do a shot for shot on this bubba kush full melt I sourced from a buddy but you beat me to it!
Looks like you have been having fun, I got my dabbing accessories Christmas Eve and have been melting everything in sight since! What are you getting best returns on? I have pretty much stopped running bud while I have access to this melt lol

Hey Jim!
I have been having a lot of fun indeed. But I got to say, hash rosin does not compare to that nice nice flower rosin. It's been hard to source good bud for this, however both buds that I got from TGT have been amazing, the wedding cake and the arjans strawberry haze.
But in the hash department, TGT had some Royal King Hassan that was perfect for pressing.

Ah I had the wedding cake, special girl that one! Totally agree on flower rosin for flavours, insanely so, but the yields just seem so much greater with hash...Plus it breaks my heart doing such things to buds, I remember my first water extraction with an oz of amnesia haze from dam....could have cried pouring that water in!
Haha, it's so much fun once you get started... the high is just great.
This is actually the Silver Haze. Finished the King Hassan already =(

Sobriety report
Hello.
I'd like to talk about my result after 2+ weeks of abstaining from any THC containing products. Disclaimer: this is not meant to be a judgement against cannabis use, nor is it meant to shame frequent users. I'm strongly in favor of the flower. And in the future, I will continue to use it. Promising myself to give it up forever (the absolute shall) is impractical and not even really necessary. However, I have been starting to feel that there's a time and place for cannabis. Inreasingly, such times and places are becoming seldom for me. :( There's a threshold that once crossed, renders usage counterproductive. For me, anyway.
So, here it is. After 2+ weeks of sobriety, this is what I have found.
Pros
-------
- Clarity of thought has increased.
- Focus has increased.
- Problem solving speed has increased.
- Ability to comprehend complex thoughts and ideas that are being explained to me has always been pretty good, but it feels lightning quick now.
- More articluate speech without delays and pauses.
- Dreams have more intensity.
- Better goal setting. Also far better at setting schedules to achieve those goals. I stick to them.
- More engaged with and available to friends and loved ones. They have noticed the difference, although they are not sure what the cause is.
- Hitting the gym far more consistently.
- Weight loss.
Cons
-------
- Difficult to relax at the end of the night.
- Movies are 75% less interesting.
- Food is 39.5% less delicious.
- Music is 75.52% less interesting.
- Outdoor activities (bike riding, hiking) are about 58.7% less interesting.
- Difficult to combat boredom at times.

Disclaimer: this is not meant to be a judgement against cannabis use, nor is it meant to shame frequent users. I'm strongly in favor of the flower. And in the future, I will continue to use it. Promising myself to give it up forever (the absolute shall) is impractical and not even really necessary. However, I have been starting to feel that there's a time and place for cannabis. Inreasingly, such times and places are becoming seldom for me. :( There's a threshold that once crossed, renders usage counterproductive. For me, anyway.
So, here it is. After 2+ weeks of sobriety, this is what I have found.
Pros
-------
- Clarity of thought has increased.
- Focus has increased.
- Problem solving speed has increased.
- Ability to comprehend complex thoughts and ideas that are being explained to me has always been pretty good, but it feels lightning quick now.
- More articluate speech without delays and pauses.
- Dreams have more intensity.
- Better goal setting. Also far better at setting schedules to achieve those goals. I stick to them.
- More engaged with and available to friends and loved ones. They have noticed the difference, although they are not sure what the cause is.
- Hitting the gym far more consistently.
- Weight loss.
Cons
-------
- Difficult to relax at the end of the night.
- Movies are 75% less interesting.
- Food is 39.5% less delicious.
- Music is 75.52% less interesting.
- Outdoor activities (bike riding, hiking) are about 58.7% less interesting.
- Difficult to combat boredom at times.
This is an interesting read, I love toking I have done ever since being a teenager, but like yourselves I started smoking hash because that’s all that was about, I have had times where I’ve abstained from toking, years in fact, but always find myself drawn back into smoking it, because I love it, but I do get carried away with it at times and end up smoking way to much, so I’m in the midst of making sure I don’t smoke until past a certain time or making sure I have a few days to a couple of weeks off. I doubt I will ever give up completely as it’s become a life long love affair, that I just don’t want to let go of, it’s about I guess finding a happy, healthy medium.
Am interested in how this goes as well.
I regularly work away so take a lot of 1-2 week breaks and most of the time its a good thing for me. I do find i have more motivation for gym, meeting friends etc and better focus at work.
Problem is when ive got smoke available in the house i cant leave it alone and if smoking everyday for a long period im almost glad to go away so i can stop again.
Dont get me wrong, giving up is easy apart from maybe a rubbish sleep the first night or 2 and im normally only having 1 j a night so not a heavy smoker.
Like most others i started with hash as a teenager 20+ years ago and it was always good - giggly, socialable, fun ..... i remember slate, rocky, gold and red seal blacks
I know the thc level was probably much lower but i guess there was also a higher cbd content as well?
Interested in trying some strains, particularly solids that have a higher cbd and lower thc. Maybe some of thd cheaper pollens, morrocans would be worth trying? Maybe tbd thai stick? Any recommendations welcome.

Cool topic... I find It’s a LOT harder to do math or any kind of linear logic with THC sloshing around the system. A smart person would probably drop 10-15 points on an IQ test lol.
I just try to avoid midweek use (and the super potent stuff) so I can prevent the sleeplessness and stinky sweat when abstaining... I’ve found that the longer you’ve been without a break the more your pits will stink ;)

love the parameters :) another pro is when you do come back its a better and healthier experience, abstinence is a tool for every real bigga me thinks.
Definitely. Not sure about the "real biggas" comment but the longer you let yourself wait, the better the experience. This goes for most things, not just weed. :p
Thats a really interesting write up. Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why you decided to abstain from THC?
I am in the exact same boat in terms of the pros and cons. I stopped for 2 years at one point as all of the pros you listed above became too apparent and started to have a negative impact on my life, its still great when i do it, but im not sure if long term usage has made the effects more dramatic as when i used to smoke when i was younger i never had any negative effects from it whatsoever. I appreciate this post :) Sorry for the ramble. How long do you plan on keeping this up for? :)

Thanks for your comment. Why am I quitting for awhile? I'm an engineer who has recaptured his passion. Working on something special that has me very excited. Wrapping up a systems requirements spec, trying to make sure I don't make any design decisions that I'll regret later. Hope to keep up my "abstinence" until January of next year.
I can relate to this a lot. I have a love/hate relationship with weed. Mostly because I had an issue with substance abuse. Unfortunately in my past I've turned to harder drugs and while I'm very much clean now, it makes me look at any drug in a different light.
To me drugs were a means to an end. I didn't want to think about things so I inebriated myself as much as possible with any drug that was within hands reach. I've been clean for a time now and I'm over the worst of it, but I still have this negative relationship with drugs.
I smoke weed daily and it is indeed a problem for me. I shouldn't as it inhibits my production and allows me to procrastinate so much more than I ordinarily would. It is however still that little escape I need to avoid turning to harder drugs, at least that's what I tell myself. It's better than what I was doing, that's for sure.
So I wish I could stop but probably for much different reasons than yourself. I certainly wish I could stop for a few weeks just to see how I feel.
Your percentages are hilarious btw. I agree fully, music is indeed exactly 75.52% less interesting while sober.

I'm the same... struggled with bad drug abuse when I was younger... been clean for a while, started dabbling in bud again about 4 years ago, struggle to not smoke it daily, but still functional in every way of my life. But I'm planning a tolerance break for January. Feel like I need it after all the shatter and such.
After that I'm going to try a new cycle... start with just flower, when the tolerance is bad, go to concentrates, once I hit bad tolerance there as well, I take 2-4 weeks off depending on how long my smoke cycle has been and start over.
Hoping it brings more balance to my smoking habit. At least try to find a better way to not lose control of it.

Hey man, glad to hear you got yourself right, that's the most important thing. How long did you abstain from bud for? Yeah I can imagine how it must be, I don't smoke many concentrates so I'm not quite there yet, but it is a pain.
Interesting, do you find eventually flower just doesn't get you high enough anymore, even if you smoke large amounts? It's like.. yeah I know I'm stoned and stuff but I also know that if I quit for a couple weeks it would be 10x more intense. I just can't seem to go more than half a day with no weed before it badly effects my mood. Maybe that's just my personality though.
Ya that's the plan right now man. Just gotta find a way to make it something I do to enjoy and not something I need? We need balance and control for sure.

Yeah, wasn't easy, but it's doable. I don't see weed in the same way as I can still function fine with it in my life, and I actually think it brings so many benefits to my relationship with my wife and my kids that it's hard to argue that's badly affecting my life. Just got a killer new job while smoking daily etc.
But yeah, smoking doesn't get me the same kind of high that it used to. I can get there from smoking concentrates or rosin... and if I smoke enough flower, but I would like to smoke a bit less to get to where I need to.
I think 4 weeks might be a bit long for a tolerance break for me as well... I might be able to manage 2 weeks. I agree, that it is tough for me too, but I want to try and prove to myself that I can do it. At this point, that's my main test right now.
After that, I'll do t-breaks of 2 weeks going forward... and probably only every 6 months or so. We'll see how it all goes.

No for sure weed isn't anything close to harder stuff. I've never done anyone dirty for some weed, put it that way. That's awesome. I think it overall has a positive effect on my life, I just wish I could take it or leave it. Right now I definitely couldn't leave it.
Ya I feel ya, I'm worried about getting too into concentrates for that reason. They are also a bit pricey for me to be smoking all the time so that limits me fairly well.
I think 2 weeks is good for anyone. I know the longer you go the better than first joint back will be but 2 weeks I think is more than enough for most of us. Yeah true, if you look at it like a challenge it may be easier to do. You don't want to fail after all so it's good motivation to stay sober.
Sounds like a plan man, it's a good idea. I need to get myself in to a healthy routine and keep it going. Let me know how you get on.

So, last week, I was talking a big game about "sobriety", but it's rough going. Think I'll break my "fast" next week. Not the big tough guy I made myself out to be it seems.

Bullionaire vape cart review (real Cali cart)
Hi all!
Like many, I stopped buying vape carts after the big vape death scare earlier this year. Now that doctors are saying it looks like it was mainly the vitamin E oil, I decided to try a legit Cali cart that I knew had been tested properly to give these things another go.
I've always found carts to not really give me a satisfactory high, there is always some depth that I feel is missing. I know not everyone feels this, however I have heard this before from others as well. I was hoping that a legit cali cart would give me a bit more kick.
In comes the Bullionaire cart made out of the popular Runtz strain. I was very excited to try this, bought it as a little Christmas present for myself. Once it arrived, I was impressed. The packaging is nice, and the oil in the cart itself is almost clear. You can tell this is a high end vape cart.
Smoking it, it hits super smooth, so far everything is as expected. The sad part comes when the high hits. First, it's the same type of high I've gotten off of all other vape carts. It just isn't giving me that good high that I get when vaping actual flower.
At least now I know... vape carts, no matter what the quality, just aren't for me =/

I'm so pleased you wrote this review. I've literally just done the same thing... testing out the Runtz bullionaire to challenge my expectations. I've been a daily dabber for years, and I'm an e-cig user as well, so carts really appeal to me as a concept. But I've tried many and various and none of them have been comparable to dabbing (our using my Puffco Peak), or just smoking/vaping some herb. Convenient yes, but lacking in effect; and the actual hardware involved, those carts, just don't taste great...
It's a real shame that there are these really interesting terpy sauce extracts, and then they get put into mass-manufactured super-cheap Chinese hardware. The carts just don't work properly, you either have to under-power the vape; with unsatisfying volumes of vapour... or you turn it up and risk a scorched taste.
I completely agree... if this is as good as carts get, and I can believe it is, then they're just not for me. And although it's a bit messier, I actually prefer the purer experience of putting MJConcentrates distillate into a Ccell cart. They still don't wick properly, but the %THC is probably a bit higher.
I considered emptying out the carts and using the liquid in a better quality rebuildable atomiser (for nic vaping). But I can't be arsed, I'll just go back to my dab rig in the meantime!
As far as I'm concerned, these carts are for one-off random stealth moments, and nothing else. I'll save this bullionaire thing for a stay at relatives over Xmas, otherwise, it's going right to the back of the drawer!

"if this is as good as carts get, and I can believe it is, then they're just not for me."
This part of your comment stood out and had me wondering if a "Juul" style breakthrough is possible for THC carts. Low dose nicotine, I'm told, was always a problem with vapes until Juul came along with their patented method of mixing freebase nicotine with some kind of benzoic acid? In any case, they made e-cigs pack a punch that was previously lacking. And now... Juul is worth billions. (Not an exaggeration.)

Thanks for the response... good to know I'm not alone. I agree, the stealth is unbeatable, so I guess i'll save it for those occasions.
P.S. I'll just add that the high off of this cart is definitely a bit stronger than other carts I've had. It is super relaxing, making me a bit sleepy. The high even managed to cut through a shatter high... so it is strong in its own way. However, it just doesn't have the same "depth" as shatter/flower high for me.
Yup. They're like a watered down apéritif, as opposed to a good stiff double shot of single malt whiskey.
Yeah that's a good comparison haha... actually, getting blasted and then using a vape as a topper is fairly nice actually. Just trying it out now, especially these buillonair ones, they are super relaxing, so getting that on top of a good shatter high is working for me.
A fair and honest review epix. Shame you don't get on well with carts. I've really enjoyed MJs ones, think their next level and personally one of my favourite ways to consume thc at the moment.
I agree with what your saying about the high. It is different from a dab or bowl, kinda feels like an edible high myself but comes on within a few minutes or so instead of an hour+. 4-6 puffs gets me to a great place, but if I'm sober I definitely feel a little something after only 2.

Yeah... I think I might have ruined myself with tolerance tbh. I think they would be great at a lower tolerance level. I'm actually doing a 1 month tolerance break in January... will try again after that.
But yeah, it's a shame for sure. They are so convenient and smell free that I wish they worked better for me.

That's not a bad idea to be honest, I might have to join you in your pilgrimage to a lower tolerance.
And I wouldn't say they are completely smell free, at least not the black cherry soda cart I had. Went out with work mates and thought I'd be sneaky with my vape, had a few puffs in the smoking area and everyone instantly knew someone was using weed, I quickly put it in my pocket and because they were all to drunk none the wiser it was me lol.

Oh wow that's interesting... I think it depends on the cart. Some of them are using actual weed terps in them, others just put in some random flavor, so you can't tell the difference.
I think since MJ makes his with concentrates, they will smell like vaping concentrates... and I think that's why his are better than many.
Another cart that I actually did like a bit was a Mario Cart from the pope. Like any weed, I think a lot of it is completely personal bio chemistry

Cali weed closing in on the price of gold!
I seen a vendors latest offering of Cali import being sold for $38 per gram. $8 less than the price of gold. I hope people don't actually pay these prices. This kind of artificial inflation is almost insulting and the reason weed stays so expensive is people pay it. It certainly doesn't cost anywhere near that much to have it imported, the profit margin is insane. Now I'm certainly not going to try tell anyone how to run their business, this is just how I feel about the situation. It's each vendors prerogative to set their prices and I respect that. But as a consumer it worries me. I hope I am not alone here.
I understand it isn't for everyone but at 3x the price of normal bud (that has similar THC contents 25%+), it's just a little silly. I've tried Tangerine Cookies, MAC and Guava and they were all really nice for sure but for every gram I could get 3 gram of Purple Dawg which also absolutely blows your tits off. Again I get that it's a status symbol over here to smoke Cali but ultimately I think this is an anti-consumer practice and giving in to artificially inflated prices like this will hurt us all in the long run. Just something to consider my dudes.
What do you all think about Cali weed in general and its pricing? Is it anti-consumer?

Personally I won’t spend silly money on such things either and I think your words are utterly spot on, I agree with everything you have said,I have smoked some exceptional weed grown right here and also just across the pond from several of our neighbours in Europe. I’m glad you have brought it up as a talking point, it’s an interesting one because I am always tempted buy the look and noise of how good and incredible I’m always hearing about Cali weed which I’m sure it is , but at that price, forget about it(said in my awful attempt at a New York accent)
Glad you agree mate. I think it is very tempting with all the hype and after I gave in I wasn't happy I did. I just kept thinking "damn that coulda been a 1/4th of high grade" after I smoked it haha.
Don't get me wrong the cali buds are without doubt the nicest looking I've seen but the high just doesn't justify the cost for me.

The thing is when we’re smoking it none of us give a shit about the way it looks, just as long as we have the desired effect which is to get fucking baked. The other side is the medical benefits we can get from it and we don’t have to pay over inflated prices to get access to such weed, especially when you find an online store like littlebiggy selling packs to help people who are really sick. Personally I will always stick to us and European smoke.
Exactly. When you start discussing how it affects medical users then it's a whole other conversation about ethics. I never even thought about that. Is it right to inflate the prices of the best medicine? Real drug companies do it all the time but they aren't known for their high moral compass haha.
The thing that gets me is there are people here in the Uk waiting for Chemo and our government Denys them the right to an alternative such as RSO oil amongst other things that are available, not to mention auto immune disease’s Parkinson’s etc etc and here we have a plant that can aid it. We’re so fucking behind in this country it’s unreal. Sorry I’ve now gone completely off topic and on a tangent.
I've never actually tried Cali. Nor do I want to at those prices. Dealers round my way are doing this "UK GROWN CALI WEEED" for 15 a gram and I'm like "WTF ARE PEOPLE THAT STUPID!"
I stick to good honest old hippies for my gear, they always know what's the happy hap

I find cali prices in the UK to be disgusting quite frankly, lol. I have tried cali and i honestly dont rate it any better than well grown UK bud if you have the right links. The Americans are very good at marketing and getting people to buy things, they are probably the best in the world at it and thats all we see with these 'imports' that come in nice fancy tins/packs and look very neat and trimmed and pressed together perfectly looking buds. Your paying less for the overall stone it gives you and more for the brand and look of the pretty weed. I recently purchased a Durban poison x Stardawg cross from a talented grower i know and it honestly kicked any cali ive had in the ass, stuff had me forgetting what day of the week it was haha. Dont get me wrong ive had very good cali bud, but its not this special weed that takes you to a different planet. A good dab will do that for half the price. Dont want to sound like a hater either aha, i enjoy cali, but it isnt worth £60-90 for an 8th. I prefer to support the UK game :)
Spot on mate. The way its all hyped you expect to take one puff and be knocked out and it just isn't the case. THC is THC is THC. You reach the same highs for the same amount of time smoking good UK bud. I think you hit the nail on the head there it's all about the brand and status.
Having tried a few Cali strains none of them are in my top 3. I was hoping it would be a fad and pass, but I still see people posting cali packs on snapchat proud to have paid 75quid for a 1/8th. Crazy. I also don't want to sound like I'm just salty or hating but I feel like someone had to say something. I doubt I'll make a change or anything but I want to get people thinking or at least acknowledging the absurdity of it.
I'm glad I'm not alone man. Support UK Bud! (says the guy who just ordered Dutch import.. at least it's at a very reasonable price!)

Your exactly right, i remember being all giddy when i copped some CaliX Biscoff and expected to be blown away, after smoking the whole lot i wasnt anymore impressed than with a good UK bud :( Its just a brand name now is all your right dude.
Same with me! My top 3 are all flower i have had here, it is certainly a fad in my opinion but once cali came on the scene in 2016 it seems to have taken off and is showing no sign of slowing down. The prices are still astronomicaly high after all this time, i have no idea why people buy into it, its hype in my opinion. No of course not i dont find your comments salty of hating at all, i agree wholeheartedly and i dont think it helps the UK game in the long run when nobody wants UK weed anymore.
You arent alone, ive been thinking the same for ages but darent say anything as people treat this stuff as if its as you say, gold haha. Hey at least Dutch imports are at near enough the same pricing as here so its all good :p
Same with me! My top 3 are all flower i have had here, it is certainly a fad in my opinion but once cali came on the scene in 2016 it seems to have taken off and is showing no sign of slowing down. The prices are still astronomicaly high after all this time, i have no idea why people buy into it, its hype in my opinion.

Right now dutch slurricane is my #1. Taste amazing, big beautiful buds and the smokes unreal. One of the best highs I've had in years. All for 250 a oz. This stuff in my opinion beats any cali I've tried.
It’s just my opinion and each to their own but I always say Cali weed is the cannabis equivalent dr Dre’s beats headphones... good stuff but take away the hype, marketing, name and social media value and they aren’t really anything that special, for me it’s not worth the money.
For the price of an OZ you could be well on the way to setting up a grow and turning out your own killer buds or even half way to actually visiting California for your self.

Yeah it is very much a brand. The more I think about it I suppose I would be the type of person to buy a nice pair of Bose or JBL's over Beats any day. So maybe it's just down to the person.
Yeah mate when you start thinking about everything else you could do with the price of a oz of Cali then it really gets ridiculous haha.
I'd love to hear from those who stand by Cali and the prices to see where we all differ.

At times I almost feel as if I’m witnessing the gentrification of cannabis.
I’m also interested to hear as well, it’s a real subjective topic but a very very interesting talking point.

I’m probably totally biased but I love the way the Dutch do it. By keeping it semi underground I feel it keeps the industry in the hands of people who love the plant first rather than people who love the profit.
Yes mate public companies have shareholders to answer to and all they want to hear is the profits are up and the costs are down. The dutch bud is always very healthy.
I just want to add I am not slating a vendor for their prices it’s how they roll they have to import it, we all know the risks involved. I just wouldn’t pay that amount of money for smoke either.
I also don't want anyone to think this is a personal attack against them. I just want an open dialog on pricing.
Cali prices have been high due to the nature of the goods that are imported and also you have to factor in the added prices each seller adds to earn a profit off each sale, also the amount bought at given time eg..
Importer paying - (example price) £280 an Oz
Importer selling - £330 an Oz to 1st supplier
1st supplier selling for £380 an Oz to 2nd supplier.
2nd supplier selling for £430 an Oz to 3rd supplier and so forth..
Each time I make a 3.5 sale I make ~£8. So you work out how far along the supply chain I am. I've lost too much buying it myself, ide rather pay extra and let someone else take the BIG RISK that's associated with it.
I know importers factor in lost parcels prices to weigh up differences as alot will get caught in customs
P.s
I brought these items to biggy not to earn bucket fulls, twas a seasonal gift for everyone to try out but please relise that I do have to make it worth my risk in vending them also

Hey dude. I'm originally from California myself.
I think that this is a tricky issue, because it's easy to see both sides of this argument. Consumers AND sellers are getting gouged alike here. Probably fair to point out that the prices in CA itself are through the roof, especially in the Bay Area. And sadly, that inflation is passed along to all of us here in Blighty.
As a CA native, (we don't refer to it as "Cali" ourselves) I appreciate that you and others here are able to bring over a little piece of home for me from across the Pond. The rich, golden sun; the rolling green hills, the dense redwood forests in the north. Cheers.

Thank you for the insight. I had spoken to two Cali natives that told me the most they would expect to pay no more than $250 for a ounce of the highest grade.
I would say that deals like that are to be had, yes. Certainly true with regard to the black market. (Yes, there's a black market in California and it's thriving.) But you will probably never get a deal that good if you walk into a legal dispensary in SF, LA or Oakland.
They were talking about dispensaries I think, but can't be sure! Of course by the time it gets over here the price is sky high. I wonder how the black market thrives with so many legal options in Cali, is it really that much cheaper on the streets? It's all very interesting.
Regulations and taxes are squeezing out the mom 'n pop growers. Nice people who just want to play in the dirt and produce a fine artisinal product are being impolitely shown the door by big scale producers who can afford to buy extra software, track 'n trace equipment, supply-chain fees, third party logistics, license fees, etc. The only way the small guys can survive is to go underground.
That makes a lot of sense and is very sad. I never even thought about that being a issue when I think about legalizing weed in the UK. I suppose in any business where profit is a thing people with a lot of money will always come in and try take over.
There’s a documentary on Netflix called Murder Mountian, it’s about the Humbolt grow scene.
Well worth a watch as it hits on some of the hurdles faced by independent growers.

Check it out for sure. You'll love it.
The scope of the California problem is bigger than just the cannabis market. The state is basically pricing itself out of existence. Droves of people are moving out-of-state every day. Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Idaho and Washingon state. Interestingly, this is having the effect of changing the demographics in those states. Many formerly "red" (Republican/Conservative) states are becoming "purple" and are imminently "blue" (Democrat/Liberal leaning) just because of all the Californians rushing in. The Republicans are in big trouble long term, which is why they're doing crazy shit like striking up deals with the Ruskies. But I digress...

Do you think California becoming the first legal state had anything to do with the current issues? Other states may have the benefit of seeing how Cali or Washington did things and can adjust accordingly. I wonder if there will eventually be a dispensary market crash when the prices are just too high. Or will they eventually level out? It doesn't look like it from my, admittedly limited, point of view. People may go back to the street dealers en mass if things get out of hand over there.
Good questions. Not sure, is my honest answer. Although, I don't think California was the first recreational state. It was the first medical state though, I think. (1996)
http://www.priceofweed.com/
Very Interesting site and a good reference for international prices.

You are correct. Vermont was the first state to legalize recreational weed use. I never knew that! Thanks.
Don't be sad, it's nothing personal it's just business. Even those companies employ people who have families and most of the big companies really do look after their employees, not all though.
It's like when we sell something on eBay, we don't sell it to anyone who pay us the least amount, we sell to the person who is willing to pay the most and the postage!

Some of the smaller growers have formed collectives which operate legally. A very left-coast thing to do, but effective. "Up North" is a well known collective with really quality artisanal product.
That’s very interesting to know that you guys are also having to pay a lot of dollar over there. You see I made an assumption that the prices would be relatively cheaper. It’s all down to the individual I suppose and what your prepared to pay, personally I wouldn’t pay that amount for a gram of weed, but that’s me. Again just to make clear I am not slating anyone it’s just crazy how much weed has gone up in price over the years.
Yes, the prices are cheaper in CA, but they're still relatively high. (no pun intended) In the Bay Area, for example, it's not unheard of to see 3.5g of something equivalent to Jungle Cake going for 75 USD. Folks over there are balking at that too, and seeking alternative brands such as "Old Pal" which are lower strength but reasonably priced.
Can I ask, can people grow Percy over there? I know in Spain I believe you can grow up to 4 plants. It probably differs from state to state?
By percy do you mean personal? :) Yes, they can and do, but I'm not an expert on the laws there, sadly. Been away for a long, long time. I wanna say 7 plants for personal use?
So I done the math. With your numbers. You need to sell a ounce for $912 to make $8 per 3.5g. Giving you a profit of $64 per ounce or 7% profit. I'm sorry but that doesn't sound right to me at all. As a ex vendor I know that just isn't worth your time. So you must be investing $912 dollars to make $64? C'mon..
Hi mate thanks for taking the time to respond although I was in no way calling you out, I just want that to be clear. I want people to start thinking about all weed prices and what we should be willing to pay. I want vendors to think about what is RIGHT to charge. Some people need this for medicine so I think it's important that we discuss it.
I appreciate you giving us some insight in to the supply chain, it gives us all more to consider. It should be noted that because you pay that much doesn't mean everyone does. Maybe you don't artificially inflate your prices but others do. I just seen prices high enough to insight a reaction.
I have a lot of respect for anyone vendor that puts their time and effort in to bring us a service. I know it isn't easy, you are running a business after all. I don't want you to think I am being intentionally disrespectful.

I think you may have inadvertently stumbled upon why cannabis shouldn't be legalised!
I've been following how it's unfolding in CA and Canada and tbh, I don't see much Canadian cannabis on here, considering it's legal recreationally for some time but the quality and price (including tax) means black market weed is a lot better value for money.
As bigbarz has pointed out it is legal in other states too but you're not seeing those products from those states here, why? I don't understand that.
I think we here and myself included have been blindsided by legalisation that we have not considered quality or tax, in CA it's around 30% depending on state, whereas here in the UK vat is 20%, sanitary towels are 5%, so if cannabis is legalised here in the UK, would the vat be 20% or higher? And it goes without saying the quality may not to be what we on here are now used to.
Also, going back to your point on price, for us the consumer that will only happen with more vendors competing for our money and the price they purchase from their distributors.
But sometimes classic economic models don't fair well and can make a point without taking into account a more organic, fluid concept of behavioural economics and economic anthropology.

Horror movie recommendations!
Hi friends!
Since its coming into spookier seasons I thought it might be fun to have a thread to recommend some horror movies.
I'll give 3 of my favs to start;
'In the Mouth of Madness'
John Carpenter's best horror film in my opinion. A must see for fans of lovecraftian horror.
'Train to Busan'
Korean zombie movie. Highly recommend.
'Jacobs Ladder'
A film that was a large inspiration for the Silent Hill videogame series. An uncomfortable psychological horror.
I look forward to seeing what y'all post!

Huge fan of Train to Busan and In the Mouth of Madness and really horror movies in general.
Another classic with Sam Neil is Event Horizon, probably one of my favorite all time horror movies tbh.
Some other good ones: Get Out, The Cabin in the Woods, It Follows, The Descent, A Quiet Place, Insidious... the list goes on =)

Such a solid list of films! Event Horizon is awesome. Such a great cast.
I've watched Cabin in the Woods so much. I want an extendable bong like the one in the film so bad lol

that was a nice ass bong.
Event Horizon ended up being a movie that me and my first gf ended up making out to a lot, because it was being shown on constant repeat on HBO in those days haha. I think I've seen that movie like 30+ times at this point.

Last shift is a gooden. It’s set in a police station that’s being decommissioned so there’s one police woman there for the ‘last shift’. Weird supernatural antics ensue only it’s extra scary because it’s brightly lit everywhere rather than a typical dark horror movie.
Would have to have a good think about my top 3 but i'd say these are still decent movies.
Hereditary.
The Witch.
The Visit.
Hereditary.
The Witch.
The Visit.
Quite a bit of hype around Hereditary last year (2018) so I avoided it. Finally sat down with some Jungle Cake and watched it last weekend. Loved it.
Can’t beat the classics. The thing, the shining, the fly are my personal choice.
Newer ones I’d say the ring, the conjuring, a quiet place, insidious 1, it follows, the hills have eyes etc
My favourite horror of all time is 28 days later. I love the whole ambience of that movie. So well done

Watched the ring again recently and it holds up so well. I actually prefer it to the Japanese version.
Haven't seen 28 days later in a while, was zombie obsessed as a teen so I kinda over watched it lol

If you can recommend any that'd be great! I remember film 4 was doing a French horror season a few years back and they did a double bill of 'Ils' (2006) and 'Martyrs' (2008) both tremendous films!!
Just a heads up though, martyrs is very disturbing, in case anyone gives it a go
Just a heads up though, martyrs is very disturbing, in case anyone gives it a go
Yes I’ve seen martyrs, it is disturbing, at the end your left with nothing but a head fuck. I am trying to think of one in film in particular but I can’t remember the name. So I will get back to you on that.
Mother is an excellent choice of film, it’s very clever. Very. Not so sure on Horror side of things, but it’s a brilliant film.
An American Werewolf in London best horror film ever worth watching just for the scene in the porno cinema.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a great sequel that doesn't get enough love. Very different to the original and much more fun. In my view the perfect movie for the Halloween season.
One of my favourite horror comedies! I actually found that movie through listening to buckethead. He made a couple concept albums with the actor, Bill Mosley (who reprised his role from tcm2 for the album)
Love the romance subplot with leathercace too!
Love the romance subplot with leathercace too!
That's a fun fact, I did not know that - will have to check those out.
Always surprised me that TCM2 wasn't that well received when it was released. Dennis Hopper thought it was the worst thing he was ever involved in.
People have warmed to it over the years and I consider it among the 80s classics and a better made film than the original. The sets and locations are some of the best I've seen in any film I can think of.

Yes frontiers is a french horror movie, is very fucked up and I hope I never get lost in any kind of rural setting ever, as in all horror movies, these aren’t the sort of people to sit down with, have a cup of tea and slice of cake.

Carverr: Pope has Jungle Cake back on the menu. I highly (pun intended) recommend you try a gram of that. It's a good showcase example of what Los Angeles bud is "capable of", if you will. If you are curious, then; please, please, please: grab a gram before it sells out.

This bud is somthing to behold. It is discussed with reverence, and tales of its deep magic are the stuff of myth and legend throughout the land.

Carver, I was just setting here enjoying some of the aforementioned jungle, and thought of you. Have you received and tried? Interested to know your verdict/opinion.
Peace.
Peace.
I have received it! (Super quick delivery) it looks and smells tremendous. I'll be indulging a bit later when I've finished work. Buzzing to try it man, I'll report back. You're holding your cards close to your chest man lol I hope the fact you saying your 'enjoying' it means it's nice!
Personally, I'd say yes. If you are still on the fence, maybe just order a gram and see what you think. Initially, I said I wouldn't pay above a certain ammount. Now I find myself really looking forward to ordering a regular bit to compliment my every day weed. Some of the cali stuff is pretty spesh. Hope this helps.

Impressive workmanship and quality
We live in an age where the counterfeit drug trade represents a multi-billion dollar market with countless victims. Mainly pharma, but also vapes. (Dank, etc.)
That's why it's nice to know that there are artisinal producers out there like MJ who take pride in their work and for whom safety and quality is important. This product tasted great, no ill effects and was quite nice in general. MJ even gave me a battery to get started with. As a noob, I appreciated this very much. (Variable voltage, pre-heat feature... not bad!)
The World Health Organization would give MJ top marks! Thank you!
One last note: this was my very first vaping experience. I did not realise that vaping doesn't hit quite as hard as flower, or that the effects trail off a bit quicker too. I don't believe any of that was down to this product, however.

Thanks for the review, dude. I'm sure the world health organisation would agree :) I don't think anything will compare to that hit of a joint, though if you want a harder hit on the vape, you gotta turn up the heat.
Cheers for the heads up :-)
Have my first cart experience on route myself. Gave me a much better idea of what to expect.

Same day dispatch
An order I placed Monday (first class) appears to have gone AWOL. Is anyone still dispatching today, first class, with the aim of getting it tomorrow or Saturday?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
I've been waiting 2 weeks now, wondering if I should order from another vendor in the hope of getting it Saturday
Same vendor? I’ve had several successful next day deliveries from RB and Pope. This is the first time it hasn’t arrived when expected.
No neither of those but was considering ordering from them but scared it won't turn up, this is my first order that I've been waiting 2 weeks on, so I'm sceptical
Sweet dreamz radar breeder pope of dope uk420 all of them deliver mate radar breeder offers and tracked delivered by 1pm cant beat thar
My package was reshipped and eventually arrived, put it down to bad luck, ordered with another vendor who does next day recorded delivery, still no sign of it, that was a week ago today... :-(
That is terrible luck. I’m pretty new to it but had 8 without any delays or hassle at all, 4 from each vendor I mentioned. I’m hoping this is just RM as only a day or so later than normal at the moment. Are you in the UK?
Yeah NI that's why I thought there may be an issue but I'm told it should be the same delivery time as the mainland. RM are still delivering packages from Amazon, would there be a difference?
Not to hijack but I'm wondering what kind of interest there is an same day delivery service in the UK starting with London.
Think popes cut off is 1pm mate, sorry just saw original was from Pope. Consistency with RM seems hit and miss
I’m curious, from which supplier. I’m with the Pope, always been lightening speed up until now which is making me nervous.

This what you should see when you buy any JB sealed pack. Get a hologram on the side scratch the bottom for a pin code, enter barcode then pin code and you get taken to this screen.
I know that Pope of dope gets jungle boys in, not sure if he does at the minute but its always top shelf cali imported :)

Free Samples
You have a point. Noted. Good perspective. Cheers.
Free Samples
I have some real concerns about free samples on little biggy. I understand they are a great thing and that in many ways the best form of marketing for everyone. But
#1 is free drugs for kids. I realise that lots of kids are clever enough to get their hands on bitcoins but the fact is that bitcoins are hard to deal with and a huge filter for who comes here, much more so for people without adult ID.
#2 It's done in exchange for reviews. Don't get me wrong the quality of experience posts around here is great and getting better all the time but the fact that you have to buy in order to review is a way to keep shilling under control. There must be a balance between mechanical feeling reviews and some of the off putting advertorial I see around here.
One thing I have noticed around on little biggy is the more conscientious and self policing we are the fewer borg/algorithms we have exercising blunt (no pun intended) authority.
On second thought I now intend to make that pun and exercise a blunt right about now. Yes.

There's a really simple answer here: at the start of every review the author states exactly how they obtained the item. Then it's up to the reader what to do with it.
We need to stop with all the drama here on lb, noticed alot here lately . Everyone should be grateful we found this community..
so true but then it seems like sometimes you gotta go through shit to be even better. so what you are saying is both 100% true and conflict free in my opinion.
the self seriousness is what triggers me, to fuck with that.
the self seriousness is what triggers me, to fuck with that.
What a great thread, honestly!
Long time observer of the LB community and new seller here. About half of our reviews came from "freebies" - To be clear we asked for an HONEST review of the product, customer service, and stealth.
I totally agree with you in ways, but at the same time I would love to share my point of view as both a seller and buyer:
1 - I personally do not like buying things from sellers or items that do not have reviews. I want to make sure the item I will be receiving matches the pics and description and I also want to be sure the item will actually be shipped and received
2 - I do agree "freebie" reviews skew seller/item ratings (early on)- BUT it is the sellers responsibility to maintain the ratings by continuing to deliver on what was reviewed and is promised. Lets remember ratings and reviews are public - 1 negative review can ruin the 10+ positive ratings on that seller/item. And 10 freebies is not a cheap fix! So you better make sure you stay consistent with what you are offering if you want to continue to grow your sales
If someone who has great reviews starts to slack off, the community will know about it and they will see a big hit in sales. So I do give freebie reviews some merit - but end goal is to build trust in the community with our products we offer and ourselves as a provider
Some of our freebie recipients have already re-ordered and have generated full priced sales and reviews (seems like our biggest blocker is US shipping only -_- )
Its definitely been a slow start here but we take pride in our products and we use every review (as well as awesome threads like this) as feedback for all aspects of the business (shipping, stealth, communication, learnings, etc.)
We hope giving out a few free samples didnt offend anyone here. We love you all LB thanks for having us here and for all of the great convos we've had with you amazing people :)

Tiramisu (Wedding Cake x Gelato 45) (CALI IMPORT) 3.5 g
From the pope will be writing a review up for this one.
Thank you to everyone on LB who have made me feel welcome with help an advice it's you people that make this site what it is so a big round of applause to you.
I feel proud of everyone of my reviews apart from 1 or 2 where I was really out of it :) I especially like it when people say it's helped them make there mind. I must point out iv never pimped out any vendor for any gaine but if they're a good bunch of lads an have what I call my type of weed then yes I have pimped them as that's what you do with a product and people you like. Look out for my review on my 50th buy and at some point I will put up more of my smoking diary pages up an I know one or two of you have been asking.
Lots of peace and love mrspock89

Thank you for your kind words it gives me a real boost to start putting up more review's. I'm going to see the best worst movie of all time the room and a QA with the man tommy wiseau in October so will have to review that + a brucie bonus of my first visit to a btc atm today on 6th September :)
Oh hai Mr Spock. How's your sex life? (NOT a serious question... "The Room" reference.)
I saw Tommy and Greg Sestero at a showing of "The Room" here in the UK. He was an absolute sweetheart. A little odd, of course, but a good dude. Greg was cool too. Have fun.

Strain suggestion request
Wow. Really spoilt for choice here. So many enticing varieties. Very impressive work, MJ. I'd like to order one today, but I'm curious to know if anyone has any variety suggestions? I'm leaning towards the thin mint GSC, but am really just throwing darts blindfolded. Thanks in advance and happy toking.
The Strawberry Cough I had off MJ was crazy lol Tangerine Dream is top draw too. Had Bubblegum and Thin Mint delivered today and just into the Bubble Gum O.G now and it’s a tasty terp with a kick like a mule.
Hello,
Thin mint is excellent, minty on the exhale. Bubblegum O.G and gelato if you like a sweeter taste. Cherry pie is like bakewell tarts. Hope that helps

I’m Finished Smoking Weed
Hey everyone, not sure if anyone is going to read this or will even see it, but I’m done smoking weed or using it in any form. It’s just a choice I’ve made as of today. Maybe I’ll have a smoke or two in the future but that’s about it. The last bit of weed I’ve got left is some Jungle Cake and I’m definitely finishing it before I give up but then that’s it. I’ll still be staying active on LittleBiggy for anyone that needs me or needs any answers for queries or so. I hope everyone does well here and I appreciate all the vendors’ stuff I’ve bought, whether I liked it or not. Thank you, you’re all doing a great job here especially with the community we’ve created. I hope to buy a few products again in the future, I just noticed that I’m constantly smoking and it ain’t getting me anywhere so I’m stopping that as of today, but trust me that doesn’t mean I’m leaving LB, as it’s a great little place. I love it here and I hope it never goes!
You might think this is the last place to be a support group for quitting weed but I think why shouldn't it be the best?
Just like everyone needs to try weed I think everyone needs to quit too. And come back maybe :) Or not, it depends on the person and the circumstances.
I do know that weed dependency is depressing in most cases and very hard to manage without the clean binary of cold turkey, a bird I know very intimately.
So please come back here (not to the fucking items page) and maybe some of us can help/learn or laugh.

I'm not going to be leaving LB, that for definite, i love it here. But in terms of looking at the 'items' page i think you're right. Even without the products here it's the best community I've ever come across for weed enthusiasts or just in general really. Maybe i should just keep my eye's on the 'topics' page and help out everyone like i have been, but it's gonna be hard not to look at all the beautiful products on here.
Good luck, we reccomend supplementing with cbd buds which will help eleminate the craving.
These guys are awesome.

Nah man, I was thinking about that, but I think I’m going to just cut all of it out tbh bro. I used to smoke CBD bud before I found LB and it was great for me, but now I just wanna stop overall.
Thanks man, appreciate it, I hope everything pans out like I expect and I hope everything goes well here with LB!
I hope you find what your looking for. I get a lot of what you've been saying and what has been said here. Everyone's journey is different, just try and enjoy the ride, it's what you'll look back on. See you around here.
you have it to do pal.ive been smoking weed in one form or another for 40 years.i always have a break for a couple of months out of the year.but when you come back the first j or whatever is soooo good.like your first ever smoke.without the whitey.
Yeah I've always taken t-breaks, sometimes it's harder than you expect it to be, the longest I've stopped for was about a month, but now i think i'm going to try and take a long break until Christmas. If i cave, then the vendors that i usually by off will probably notice due to me putting an order in, but i'm going to make sure i don't until Christmas. It's worked well for me in terms of alcohol, i only drink now at Christmas and that's it, so i guess i'll see how everything goes.
Good luck, blackdragon00. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself. Cannabis use does indeed require balance and discipline. Both can be very difficult.
Thanks man, i noticed i was going a bit too far with cannabis, smoking it all the time and i just noticed why am i way wasting my life just smoking weed when i'm bored and got fuck all else to do and then i realized that was a problem, so i'm glad i stopped when i could and yeah the discipline part is probably the hardest aspect of using cannabis altogether really. I'm just hoping i can be more productive in the future and get shit done without it holding me back. Although, it's a great drug and helped many people, but i personally think it's gotten to point for me where I've acknowledged that i should stop altogether really. I mean i done the same with alcohol and tobacco, so why not cannabis too.
Hey BD. Just checking in. Is all well? How is your plan going? If you've fallen off the wagon a few times, just get back on. Keep it up till Xmas. Good luck.
Unfortunately last night I caved and bought 7gs, but I’m definitely going to try and limit myself to smoking at the weekend only or follow the plan that ‘The Tree Shop’ stated as it is seems like a very good one. I’ll let you know how it all goes mate.
Hi, Random stranger on the internet here!
I managed to cut it down to weekends only (probably for a couple of years now), just wanted to let you know I wish I'd done it sooner. Used to consume crazy amounts constantly, and now I enjoy it so much more having cut right back to weekends/very special occasions (beware of creating loads of special occasions to give yourself an excuse, as we all do at first).
It becomes so easy and you will feel so much better.
Good luck man!

Thanks man and yeah I get what you’re saying I always end up giving myself bullshit excuses just to have a smoke but recently I have actually managed to only smoke every other day and it seems as if I’m doing better in regards to being disciplined but I haven’t even stepped foot in that regard as of yet. I’m hoping to make it weekends only very soon as I feel as if I don’t need it as much and who knows maybe I’ll only be smoking once a month, but I have my doubts :/
You'll get there, don't worry. I don't know how old you are, but it took me a very long time to get to moderation - sounds like you're doing just fine.
OK. No problem. All is not lost. Have you ever considered those timer lock boxes? That may help with discipline. The only risk I see, is that when the timer ticks over and the lock box opens, you may start bingeing. Generally, though, this might be a way to go if you want to smoke only once a week?

Woah, I’ve never seen that before, seems very interesting, could be just the thing I need. I had a look and it seems as if all the products are sold out, I’ll have a look on Amazon or another site later on during the day, could help me break a lot of my bad habits and yeah the fact that I might binge is definitely a possibility but I’ll make sure I only have 1 joint per week. Thanks, really appreciate it.
Here's an alternative that's in stock, but it is far more expensive than kitchensafe. I'll keep looking into it.
Yup. You're right. Sold out, if ordering from the UK. Plenty in stock if you're in the US. I'm thinking of ordering one myself, but am also UK based. If I find an alternative source on this side of the Pond, I will let you know. Keep looking.
Yh I’m UK, I’ll try having a look at some other places I know or find an alternative with the same design, but thanks for looking out man.
I just sent a message to their HQ in the San Francisco Bay Area. They'll be opening up in about 3-4 hours.
I asked about UK stock, or options to send their US stock to the UK. Also asked about pre-order options, etc. I reckon they're having an issue with their UK wholesaler atm. Very small startup, it seems.
Based on my personal experience with Californians however, most are very forward thinking and very earnest with regard to providing great customer service. I have a feeling that we can get a couple over here if we really want them. Will let you know what I find.

Here's what their tech support guy in SF said:
"I am sorry for the issue. We have inventory arriving in the UK now. If you order now, it is expected to ship out in about 2 weeks.
We do not ship to Europe from the USA as shipping one unit at a time is very expensive.
I recommend you pre-order and then your order will go out as soon as restocked. "

We were planning to get married soon and all of a sudden he left me for another girl, i really love this guy and never can imagine my life without him. I further tried all my best to get him back but all my effort to get him back in my life did not work out. It was on this faithful day, i came across some comments on a website about this great spell caster called Robinson buckler, so many persons claimed that he help them to renew their relationship and bring their ex back, i had to contact him because he was my last hope. I contacted him through his email and he assured me that in two days time my boyfriend is going to leave the other girl and come back to me and it was a very great surprise to see my boyfriend coming back to me after two days. I am so very happy today that he came back to me and i achieved this with the help of Robinson buckler, and i advice if you need his help too Email:_____________________________{{ Robinsonbuckler@hotmail. com }}
