Health hacks
So tell me people, what little tips have you all picked up along the way?!
For instance, I swear by using apple cider vinegar for basically everything? Surely I'm not the only one.... One shot every morning to start my day why not!

Despite watering it right down, ACV gives me gut ache. Shame as there are so many potential benefits and for people who need help balancing their blood sugar levels it’s fantastic.....

Sorry but this new look is awful and unusable.
works great and saves fees
I completely agree. It is also unusable as a vendor.
The Item and Order no longer show the quantity.
I cannot for the life of me actually get to the order page to see new orders. New essages don't appear in the "unreplied" anymore, you have to go to "all" to see them.
I think I'm going to have to shut up shop until they sort this out.

If this is the best they can do they might aswell put it back. It still looks like it’s from the dial up days anyway just worse than the original site. Not impressed at all
New messages now appear as chats under your username.
Personally i can see a few bits and bobs that need tidying but i found it simple to place an order and easy to see things that were previously somewhat hidden by their colour.

Don't get me wrong. I commend them for trying to improve it, as it did need improvement. I struggled to use it before, now, as a vendor I can't even see my orders in one place, I'm worried I'll miss one and keep someone waiting. Great to hear that it is easy to buy though
I agree, i just placed an order and sent messages with no fuss, but new site did take some getting used too, might be different for vendors, i suspect many updates to come, i didn't use the basket option cos i was shit scared to fire off multiple buys from a basket, if anyone does use it please let us know how it went, tanks :)
Well two of the biggest moans were bitcoin price rounding up (it was to 4 places rather than the new 7) and no shopping basket which meant creating custom orders and paying btc fees on every order- now solved. The new colours and sizings aren’t great but compared to cash savings who should care? (Welcome to LB by the way!)
That's really good about the rounding. And the basket is a great idea, as you say, to save on many transaction fees. Nice one LB.
They've also sorted the bugs on the vendor side. Hopefully they keep up the improvements. Introducing litecoin would be the next big win for me :)

Notice of withdrawal from public discourse.

Notice of withdrawal from public discourse.
You may have noticed that we are currently dealing with an individual we find to be particularly loathsome, who singles us out for attack over an issue he has never raised with other vendors. He accuses us, in a barrage of shit-posts, of selling fake products, never approaching other vendors with the issue, despite them selling the very same product. He makes sweeping declarations with no evidence, branding us liars and fraudsters from the outset. He's provoked us into language and behaviour that we've never felt the urge to resort to in our time here, and that those who know us will know is uncharacteristic of how we conduct ourselves. It is conduct we are not proud of, but do not regret. We'd do much worse of we were able. We'd urge you to read the posts and make up your own minds, but if you are inclined to sympathise with this cretin, it is likely we're not the vendors for you.
Having to deal with this person has been difficult, so much so that for the first time since we started in April last year, we've not been able to send out all of today's orders, only managing to complete around 60%. For reference, today's date is 30/03/21. Our apologies to those affected, we will contact you directly.
Not being able to wring this bastards neck is a real headfuck, and for our own sanity we're withdrawing from any further public discussion on any matter. If you wish to contact us directly, you are welcome to do so, you will receive the respect you extend to us.
Thank you most kindly.

I’ve not read a word of what has transpired and I don’t care to.
Today I’ve placed my umpteenth order with you and suspect I’m one of those affected by your disrupted service today. No matter: your service and product have always been exemplary and I will place many more orders in the future.
What you recount here sounds intolerable and doubtless justifies any recent departure from your usually eloquent and respectful tone. It will be a shame not to see your posts on here though and I do hope that perhaps after a period of cooling off and reflection, you’ll be back.
This guy will just go away if he’s denied oxygen and there’s not a hope in hell he’ll dent your business in the meantime; you’re too good and anyone who knows you knows it!
Peace and relaxation to you (I can recommend smoking a bit of bud ;)
P.S Get my shit in the post tomorrow though right?

Fk the haters.
All I want is quality, and if I have to pay over then it is what it is. Then so be it.
Some ppl just addicted to drama more than funky chicken.
Where if they bought the funky chicken might. Just chill oot a bit.

I don't see how being rude to a vendor can be considered constructive. If there is a real problem you will always be able to rile the community here to back you, so there's no need to throw mud at the vendor directly unless you want to take the dick road that badly.
I’m so sorry you are having to go through this :( I will absolutely not have a bad word said about you. You have always gone above and beyond, and are hands down one of the most professional vendors on here. Sending you love E <3
very true - the gents are one fo the best! never let me down, always true to their word and always had decent product. never had an issue - they know how to do good business.
it's your brand and you've earned it gents. that's the irony here, your brand will always be worth more than one subject to someone else's verification.
For real don't give him the sympathy vote, he's still not proven it's Cali and thus, it isn't.
His ratings are high yes and it's mostly from the UK bud as you can go and check for yourselves. I never said his bud was bad at all and I'll even say now it all looks decent, just the Cali claim annoys me and others too
I honestly didn't want to start this whole thing I am just really fed up of fake Cali listings, aren't any of you?
To gents, no need for such hostilities. It really isn't needed. You did start the major insults and threats and I only gave as good as I got.

they dont have to prove anything to you! you havent bought the product so you cannot be certain the accusations you are making are correct. if you bought some and wernt satisfied, i am sure they would have sorted things out for you, providing you kept it nice.
their rating are high, because they are good! they have earned it.
do you attack everyone on LB who sells cali? i doubt it. clearly you have a problem with them and a lot of your comments were totally unfounded.
maybe there are too many claims of legit cali, i dont know, but why did you target one vendor and not everyone who sells cali?
its sad that you are now playig the victim card - you kept poking em and you got poked back, what did you expect?!
you started this, not them. are you going to turn your attention to everyone who sells cali today?
not trying to attack you, or carry this on, but you have to appreciate the gents have earned their rep and when somone comes along making accusations, with absolutley nothing to back it up but opinion, they aint gonna take kindly to your persistant poking.
at the end of the day - you get what you give.

Yeah this is the bit that smells like trolling - if you buy something and you're unhappy fair enough, this is a community I welcome being able to read feedback from buyers. But if you haven't even bought anything, seriously?
The "Cali" claim annoyed you, which is sad. Fake Cali listings happen which is bad. However, did you arbitrarily pick TGD to vent this, or did you actually receive some 'Cali' that was not 'Cali'? The latter is a valid reason to be annoyed, but begs the question... "Why did you buy Cali without proof?", and "How do you know it wasn't 'Cali'?". If this was not the case, it begs the question... "Why pick on one vendor with no basis to say the claims are false?". Where is your proof / evidence?
If you re-read the threads you will see from the get go that it was you being an aggressive cockwomble that set this all off. You Mr Caa for whatever reason decided to all out attack TGD with your accusatory tone and inflammatory comments. If you read back your comments it comes across as a personal attack on TGD who quite frankly were minding their own business. Don't even get me started on whatever nobhead created an account called "fake" to do something similar. Your acting like a Karen in a Walmart with all the consumer protection you would expect from a legal company in a regulated industry, something I'm pretty certain this particular website isn't.
you had a chance for the high ground here, you could have just asked for verifications and then followed up with more polite questions and some url sightings to get to the heart of it. you never had to accuse him of a thing, like the good cop in the room.
i think your point about the bud not looking like what's in dispensaries is 100% correct. i also think this guy is the real thing, one of the best in the game, it's even a possibility that he was duped we just will never know since it became so emotional and damaging that his victim-hood and previous reputation are the only clear facts here.

Hi there mrcaa, there's a bit of upset going on over this isn't there? It seems that you believe that all cali bags/labels are fake, but TGD clearly don't. Of course we all have a right to our opinion but if you accuse anyone of being a liar and consequently a thief you can pretty much guarantee that they will be upset, I know I would be. I get that you are maybe trying to warn others of a potential scam and thats a good thing and part of what makes the biggas community so useful but I think that most of the buyers on here are experienced enough to make an informed choice and if not there is lots of advice available. If people make a mistake they learn from it and move on just like anything else. It sounds like you spent a lot of time on the west coast, I'm envious for sure! I've only been once I drove down the Pacific highway to LA then out as far as the Grand Canyon and back to SF via Las Vegas. I never buy cali in the UK as I can't afford it anyway I also wonder if Cali weed would feel the same if I wasn't in California? So beautiful. Peace to you and TGD.
…
Additionally, you missed orders because you were too busy insulting my mother who is over 70. I didn't ask you to do that man cmon ffs
Doesn't look like TGD claimed that at all. It seems like you've just wound them right up.
That was me asking if they had killed Me Caa's cat or fucked his mum as those were the only.yhings I could think of that would get a non customer so riled
I've only ever used TGD on LB. The fact that I've never felt the need to shop around after the first purchase is testament to their quality, speed and professionalism.
Any patron of TGD will know how great they are, its a shame to see them as the target of some spoilt brat's nonsensical ire. I'll be putting in an extra order this month to show my support.

I'm all in support of TGD noone will convince me they are untrustworthy at all. they have the best service I've experienced on site and honestly are my go to. So much so that I've just made another purchase although am gutted I missed the cut off.keep you heads held high gents we all know you guys are the real deal :) much love from the wee weedch1ck x
For what it's worth you've been impeccable and your stuff has always been top quality. I'm also not clear how someone can claim something is or isn't what it's claimed to be if they haven't even bought from you? Sounds like trolling to me

Can someone tell me why Americans think guns are the definition of freedom?

Can someone tell me why Americans think guns are the definition of freedom?
Americans are happy to devote decades of their lives to supporting an overseas war machine as they gobble up jingoistic bullshit in their media.
They are taxed and regulated as mush as socialist countries but get little benefits in return, all the while being spied on to a standard that would make the Gestapo proud.
They are fine with all of this damage to their liberty as long as they keep their guns, is this just some kind of penis fixation?

I don't expect many to understand, and it's not something you can relate to unless you've walked a similar path,but... during my traveling work days, I experienced more than once the need to carry a firearm.
permitted to carry concealed, allowed me the chance to go back home and see my family again.
you are entitled free speech and your freedom of views, just remember, the crime or bad folks don't follow ANY rules and could care less about your politics. take away the good man's right to protect himself, and become their next target, as security is just a word.
(understand that police have NO obigation to protect you or your family, they strictly uphold the law...)

I'll go with the penis fixation. I don't own a gun - don't want one - guns are for killing. It's the second amendment in the American Bible, er, "Bill of Rights". Funny thing is that the pro-life people are usually pro-gun. Just doesn't make sense.
Guns do not kill... the person using it KILLS... I use them to kill clay pigeons. and just imagine it's someone i hate. lol ;)
I am not black but I am a 6'5' 300+ pound white mail. when I get out of my car I have yet seen my public servent have his on his gun when he see's me. I have never been shot , but I have been scared you never know when They might get scared and shoot. I am always as helpful and curtice I can makke cause I want to live and pissing of armed cops is not a healthy way to live. When they start treating you like shit , remember it will you a lot more then it will him.
Not saying you're fat but it's interesting that fat white dudes are credible rappers and also eyed by the police like black dudes.
Because freedom is only delivered through the end of a gun (unfortunately)
And if you don’t have a gun someone with a gun will take your freedom away
The only part of history you can guarantee is true freedom comes at the end of a sword/gun

It was a rural place and hunting was very common. If you start from that perspective and then think of the government coming in and taking the guns away you start to understand.
It might be useful to differentiate the American people and American foreign policy. It seems you have conflated the two, whereas looking at the American people and domestic policy might yield better results. Guns are completely illegal in China and as we all know, China is one of the most liberated places to live on the planet! The second amendment in the US was created to provide a constitutional check on congressional power was as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression. My family live in the USA and right now, gun ownership is anything from a penis fixation, it's security and peace of mind. I would rather get shot than stabbed any day of the week. Knife crime is equally as concerning in my book.
I'm hoping that you picked up the sarcasm in my 'China is liberated' comment. Reading it back, it doesn't come across too clearly.
hear ya my friend. thought i was doing the same ;) with your comment. i read it both ways (with/without sarcasm) I wouldn't criticise either. just own my private thoughts lol. stay as safe as this "Pandemic" will let you. Gaz
1. The Wild West is recent history in a young nation and was really really wild. Ditto the Civil War.
2. Hollywood is real. The good guy always shoots the bad guy. (With armed private citizens this is hardly ever the outcome, but who cares about reality?)
3. A lot of yanks are cunts?

I could be wrong but I’m sure the law to carry guns came into action as to kill Indians as white man was expanding in America.?
Because it's the only right the government won't take away and that's cause they don't want to get shot.

not being funny but what is different about "cali" weed, other than the price.
please don't say white Ash lol

Is French wine better than English? Is Scotch whisky better than Polish? The main factors that influence the final product are the “terroir” (yes, that’s a real word) of the plant. The soil, the water, the sunshine, the altitude, the cultivation. Ocean Grown (OG) seeds seem to do extraordinarily well and can contrast markedly with Euro hydroponics even when using the same seeds. Plus legalisation has bought in big competitive elements for strains to really stand out with their own USP.
Don’t forget that a big chunk of that ‘crazy’ high price now goes in tax to the government, plus licenses and store overheads.
The good thing is that on LB, you pays your money and you takes your choice. Even the most expensive cali bags seem to sell...good luck to them. Smoggyman’s Portland Oregan Mimosa (which ironically wasn’t expensive) blew my world!

It’s one of the best marketing ploys of this decade that’s what it is.
What you are paying for is marketing and fancy packets. Granted the weed is usually a very high quality and the trim job is perfect but no weed is worth 100 an 1/8th on this planet.
Most of the “Cali” you see on here is well grown and well trimmed weed stuck in a fancy packet and you pay a premium for that.
Save your money mate

Actually it’s worth exactly what people are prepared to pay. Even the most expensive packs on here seem to have willing buyers. The risk is fakes- the bags are easily bought online and conversely a lot of genuine cali is shipped loose for stealth so it’s a minefield really...
Great input mate, i just thought If pheno was grown and cured well and loved and not rushed = Banging weed
As others have said it's all marketing, turns out even weed smokers are corporate sheep :(
There's also this misconception that because it's legal it's safer... you know, because America is famous for its high safety, environmental and agriculture standards lmfao... also Americans LOVE pesticide and it's not unusual for cali weed to be heavily contaminated with stuff that isn't even legal here in the UK but hey-ho it's "legal" so it must be "safer". It's just not true at all.
Not saying there aren't some amazing growers out in Cali btw, of course there is there are amazing growers all over the world!
Still it gives middle class kids the opportunity to think they got something "superior" just because they paid the price of gold so that's good for them I guess ;P

lol but then the religious folk would feel left out, I can only persecute so many people I'm just one man!
Jokes aside I was only pointing out something being legal in one country doesn't automatically make it safer - not trying to start an Atlantic war!

Seems some dividing opinions on this subject indeed!
thanks for your input, this is true the FDA let loads of stuff in food I believe that is banned in EU?
curious has anyone paid the prime bucks to "test".

Yup cali will definitely divide some opinions haha I should point out I'm obviously against it but my post is half tongue in cheek so please to any cali lovers out there don't take offence! :) People can smoke whatever they want but cali aint for me!
Definitely a big gap between European and American standards/regulations. On everything.

Cali weed is the upper echelon. If you thought smoking weed is nice then trust me cali is a different feeling. I hear a lot of people down play it but honestly if you've got the money then I don't see why not. Its more than just white ash its smooth tasty and more healthy. With packs or not cali weed will still be different than european weed.
This makes sense, I did think about the grape analogy. soil, direction facing, elevation, relative humidity.
But.. have we not come so far that bar a little variance you could replicate these ideal growing conditions.

Pretty much. The Japanese make highly acclaimed (and very expensive) whisky by analysing and replicating the exact mineral composition of Scottish highland water. But I’m not sure how many Scots would drink it!
Cali is fine weed but do the Dutch care?

I'm tempted to try a tiny bit back to back with what I consider prime bud.. for science lol
For me though a plant that is loved and cherished surely grows stronger, when doing loads how do you give that same love and attention?
Took me hours per week when i did it and that was just 2 babies

It’s a fair point. There are plenty of non-licensed street sellers in legalised States because buyers believe the mass grown product for government licensed shops is much poorer quality (and more expensive) than the small volume “craft” growers. It’s ironic when you think that legalisation was supposed to wipe out the street sellers but they thrive on quality & price!
Big budget R&D and genuine measured quality control.
There’s comparable bud in U.K. for sure, but like anything made at home compared to a commercial operation...
You know when you bought new weed and you’re wondering if it’s gonna be any good or not? You don’t have that issue in California, your buy comes with its test results.

wherever there is panic there is courage. hats off to the many sellers that weathered the storm to keep this community strong.
Unfair comment really as all businesses have different situations and end games we know nothing about. It also kind of denigrates any vendor who felt the need to shut up shop for just a few days to suit their own circumstances.
I'll be sure to remind the next self employed person I meet that wanting to actually get paid for the work they do is a sign of weakness. Makes perfect sense that.
Cheers BB

Just an observation,but if I told my suppliers,back in the day,that "lm really sorry,but the money I owe you is tied up with these other people,but I can possibly pay you some time soon" I'd have my hands broken.
Dumb and ugly to throw down on anyone who was forced to shut down.
Dumb and ugly to throw down on anyone who was forced to shut down.
I had a bricky round yesterday to quote me for re-pointing my chimney. It's probably only half a days work but we agreed on £150 cash because it's a risky job getting up there.
After reading all these insightful comments on this thread i've decided i'm not going to pay him.
Instead, when he knocks on the door at the end of the job and asks for the agreed amount of money for the work he's done, i'm going to play some Kanye West, put my hand on his shoulder, look him straight in the eyes and say;
"listen mate, i'm not going to pay you now, you just need to be a bit stronger"
I'll let you know how that one pans out....

to continue your analogy i reckon this bricky has worked with you already, he sees the bank is closed and he does his fucking job rather than leaving it like a bitch.
Tell him you can't pay him because of a fire in China and watch his laughter as he knocks your chimney down. Takes him twice as long though, because he's a fucking good builder :)
Makes sense.
I messaged admin. They sent me a link to the pool. Which I could see for myself was jammed.
That was all the confirmation I needed, and was happy to carry on working.

Totally understand your position buddy but I think the point was to try and push for Litecoin rather than a genuine fear of not being paid in the long run.
Not sure how much further we're getting with the introduction of another currency on here but its long overdue for everyone's benefit, customers and vendors.
Hope you're well and all the best.

not surprised to see most of the og biggaz stayed online, they've seen enough shit with bitcoin to be used to this.
Theyve been through a lot of profit too, bitcoin has skyrocketed and the losses don't compare to the gains.
It's only profit when you've been paid. P.S. really hope no vendor's ended up in a sticky situation with their supplies whilst waiting for money from lb.
lol what an idiot. Vendors started shutting up shop when several of em noticed payments were bouncing. On top of that within 48 hours of a few of us shutting up payments started coming in and much smaller than before. Easy to chat shit when you don't have any skin in the game,

Murder Mountain - Netflix
Easily the best documentary mini series I've seen in years. And I watch a lot of them. Fascinating if you're interested in the cannabis business, and murder....and weird isolated communities, and loads more.
Just incredible. Seen it 3 times and might watch it again.
Tiger King on Netflix is also pretty good although didn't need to be as long as it was. Seemed to be dragged out over too many episodes.

Yes, (Murder Mountain) I need to watch that again. Started casually watching that and then couldn't believe what I was watching. Tiger King is fun to watch, but Murder Mountain should just as much credit or hype.
Vice documentaries

Ask yourself if you had 30 million in 1996 would you buy a Russian submarine to run drugs ?

If you are at all interested in hip hop, check out the BBC Four series "Hip Hop - The Songs That Shook America". I only saw one episode so far, but there are some amazing interviews, old footage and stories.
didn't rate it tbh, didn't think it did the best job of telling his story and jumped around too much. Found it tedious to watch at times imo. I'm a big biggie fan so had high hopes
These new BBC nature docs are great if you have a 4K tv ;) I just got one. The last tv I bought was a cube, so it’s amazing picture ;)
Learning the identity of Q wasnt bad either, this is important journalism that happens to have amazing characters.
'Fourteen Days In May' on BBC iPlayer.
Its from the 80s and followins a death row inmates final 2 weeks leading up to his execution date. Very powerful documentary, will stay with you gor a while after watching.

I read a suggestion that the popularity of BBC nature documentaries (particularly Attenbrough) in the USA has great correlation with legalised weed.
Almost anything from Storyville.

I must admit, I am a die hard carnivore. But that doc did make me think about eating less meat too. Check Joe Rogan podcast too with the doc maker. Very interesting.
The same here- ended up eating less meat just because I started eating more veg :) Not a black/white path though as there are A LOT of poor quality "vegan"-labelled products with tonnes of salt and things that are much worse than meat.
U.S had to turn back on a nuclear bombing mission to Cairo in 1967 after Israel navy torpedo hit USS Liberty. It's mental !

Yeah Icarus is amazing. I am not sure if a saw The Octopus Teacher, I saw a couple about Octupus and they are amazing creatures. Thanks I will check it
True! One of my favorite NOVA docs is Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial.
What a fantastic recommendation. Cheers for that.
Some of the stuff on there is fascinating.... especially after a nice vape. :-)==~

Anything made by Ken Burns. Anything by Storyville or the best documentary ever made "Death of a state."

bitcoin simply functions as a cartel, there's rent to be collected when you can corner a good piece of the market and that's exactly what the mining groups do.
use bitcoin and you are a subject of the miners and their self interest. once the market reached trillions in usd it became a billion dollar business just to sit on your ass and play games with capacity. This is the definition of malignant monopoly power.

Capacity limitations are baked into the bitcoin protocol. There have been opportunities to improve capacity but guess who controls the protocols?
This limit to how many btc is done on purpose obviously. And they have done it with certain projections in mind.
So when more than 45% of btc is in the wallets of 1% it starts to become a huge tool for manipulation and surveilance.

You gotta love it when the BBC shows enough guts to put shit in quotes to make its little point.
I really miss the 5 minutes when the Russians weren't the bad guys. I think it was Arabs if I remember.

Thanks for the link, I saw the record fee spike and thought there must be some issue, it's still climbing vertically. They need to burn more coal! 8-((
The CO2 cost of BC is humungous... please LB Gods make some other crypto available for payments!

I second that!!
ETH, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin would be very easy to implement. And would mitigate the risk associated with putting all the eggs in a single basket :)

Of all the days for this to happen!! Any chance he 420 specials can be extended till it doesn't cost a mint!

Wanted: Cannabis Journalists
Need some quality pieces for Lb and internet publication. Show me what you got.
the growth of cannabis journalism and media will be immense in the oncoming years within the uk
this post is very interesting

Still looking? I've done a bunch of writing for a couple of Dutch flower growers - RQS and Zamnesia. Let me know.
You came in, made all these claims how you are professional, posted all those items and then went offline, now 12 days. No reviews on any of your items yet. Today is 31/03/2021. And I really want to find a reliable EU vendor so this is frustrating to say the least!
My order is on "Sent" since the 10th, no response to my pm
I'm waiting until friday to dispute

Yes, I was also expecting a review or two because this seller was communicating with other users and bragging how they are able. Aaaaaaand... they went offline. Which is weird af. But who knows, maybe they got busted or decided not to go ahead with the scam or gotten ill and ended up in a hospital. In any case that is not how you run a business.
I too am between jobs after being made redundant 2 weeks before lockdown! I don’t claim to be the best writer but I always give an honest account and review of all the products I buy on here, take a peek 8)
Hey there, I'm currently bvetween jobs. I can write reviews. I order what ever products are able to be sent here to Australia and beg for more. Let me know whats involve, i'm a keen bean :)
If you stil interested in writers I'm interested and have experience writing about substance misuse/use.
Drop me a line if you're interested and we'll discuss it.

If I were you guys I would make youtube vids, stoner friendly environment and put a little commercial in the middle of it.
Piece of piss, just use a different identity for the article then use your big peeps account on Twitter, Insta or wherever to link to it.
Please hit up the toddster if you are a canna writer with a place to post. And be prepared for mad ritches.
I'm game, I'd love to know more if a PM is possible? I don't have much to offer in the way of selling myself, besides these wee lyrical fingertips of mine.
Pretty interested in hearing about this bud. I like to consider somewhat of an expert on cannabis but also still a student ;). I've published my fair share of blogs over the past few years around this as well as understand how to properly review a strain.
All the best! UKCF x

There are moments when emeralds are not the only green gems we like to read about. Sometimes RB's disco biscuit can get even the most hardened of tolerances seeing stars. MJ's edibles bake US. Little Biggy is a little gem where we can all get medicated, motivated and elevated. But if you want gems, you have to have diamonds. I'll smash over a review shortly :)
