damn I used to love me some fluffy slate back in the late 80's

Usually had a small amount of low grade hash cut with all sorts of nasties you wouldn’t want in you, horrible stuff but unfortunately that’s all there was at a time :(

The thin slate format is traditional for Turkish hash...

Not sure if that's what was banging around in the 90s. Slate struck me as being on par with soap-bar back then. Maybe it was just cheap contaminated Turkish hash, maybe it was re-pressed Moroccan... dunno.

But in recent years, the only slate I've encountered was Turkish. And it was excellent every time. Hashishin had some on LB, I've still got a bit of that left. It's not super-potent, but it's clean!

No idea why it was so thin, it was never the best TBH

slate back then i got and it was pollen press and not rubbish stuff either the crap back then was solid diesel this stuf could contain tesco carrier bags it got you stoned but usually with a headache n why it was called diesel it was transported in truck fuel tanks things have gotten much better nowdayz albeit the price for solid didn't move as slowly back then i could get 9bar for 350 ounce for 60 ohh how i wish the price was this still

If you’ve ever extracted hash using bubble bags or sieves once it’s dry and pressed together it is quite firm. It only becomes soft and oily when you heat it up or work it about in your hands.

The slate stuff was just very hard cold pressed hash.

I’m more suspicious these days of the overly oily stuff which suggests it has had something added to it.

Don't be suspicious. Weed has changed and got way stronger since back then, certain strains are selected now purely for hash making due to their trichome production being high. A lot of hash makers are now using cali genetics in morocco. The hash is currently in a transition of wiping out "commercial" hash.. in a year or two there will only be dry tech available and all these commercial hash plates will be extinct.

Question for you Nero, was the 9oz bar (250g) a British thing?

When did 100g bars become normal?

never saw a 250 bar tbh

in spain we get them in 100s from morocco for as long as i can remember

I’m guessing they left Morocco in 100’s then got broken up mixed and re pressed for UK market

It’s happening/happened again. Right now. Most of the uk 100g bars are contaminated. They are repressed. Chew some between your teeth. It will crunch. It shouldn’t. Nero is alright, he’s in Spain. It’s a uk thing just like the 250g bars were. It’s not real hash.

So the repressing, is that done in Morocco. Or after it’s left the country?

I’m not 100% sure. I’ve got an old magazine that’s got an article about soap/kak bar. A farmer in Morocco had a barn packed with the stuff. He called it hashish business. A bit odd though as you’d have to smuggle so much more out. I’ve heard it was done in Spain as well. No doubt it’s done here too. The present 100g bars will end up the same quality as the 250g bars were. That’s If people keep buying it and rating it 10/10. They’re already contaminated. I wouldn’t class it as cannabis

should we be getting hash tested?

That would be great. Or know what your smoking. It should never be ‘soft’ in our climate, it definitely shouldn’t crunch. It should actually taste like cannabis not a general bonfire. It should stick back together. I could go on. 90% of uk hash is fake.

that would make some sense

wht does that mean though, is it good or bad?

certainly good

i think its sad traditional hashes being lost

theyre not rly traditional anymore anyway, unless youre sourcing them like hashishin then everything else is commercial... unfortunately money took over and its easier for hash makers to produce comemercial

True.. when you compare the new oily hashes with a proper old school Moroccan double zero you start to think somethings not right… like too much oil…

I’ve had some banging slate from spain… was 5mm thick, really floral and strong as… not the average slate though..

Someone has got a listing for some slate hash called del monte on the wall. It gets good reviews and admittedly is probably a cut above 90’s headache weed!

Cheap and nasty just like those that were bringing it in to the UK,it was all repressed bar with added crap to triple the weight.
Still think all that total cheap crap was and is brought in by the government.

Was repressing a thing then? As in it would leave country of origin in original form, then get broken down mixed with crap and repressed? Did it leave country of origin in 100g bars or 250g (9oz) bars? Always wondered

It would leave the country of origin however the growers packaged it,then it would end up in the Costa crime in Spain where they would repress it into those 9 ounce bars that you needed a hammer to break,the flat bar was what was left after they extracted the oil and repressed it,both were terrible.

It used to be fucking crap,never had a good bit,didn’t even get you stoned it reminds me of cbd hash you get now,the effects of it,the hash you get on here is like rocket fuel,no wonder I smoked so much in the 90s.

Blonde Leb is quite like the old slate, doesn't fluff up like the ol' slate did tho.

I'm waiting on my 2nd lot of the Mercedes, does the job very nicely for me

Yeah the Mercedes, zombied me. fell asleep on prime video selection, didn't even make it into the film lol

Having one now, very moreish, hash has really improved since back in the day, its more sophisticated, the aromas are something else, and the taste is so different and varied and enjoyable to smoke, i rarely smoke flower these days, i know I'm missing out but I'm enjoying riding the hash train around the world thanks to LB and it's many quality vendors and community.

cool, ill give it a go.

Not tried the Merc yet.
Will vouch for Hootan's Moroccan Blonde. Good body high.

Nero has a good range but I especially liked this one for a heavier feel.

we've got OG kush soft pollen Hash

OG kush is indica so that helps

also hash is generally high in CBN so is sedative

heres the link

https://littlebiggy.org/link/nzP7OT

we also have a special drop of sherbalato hash eggs, these are very sought after and hard to get. It is not commercial hash

thanks Axis

We’re spoilt for choice at the mo!

I agree hashishin is great.

Eddy’s got quite a selection and is a great fella.

MrB4Real hash some nice looking Sputnik polm.

I’ve just tacked a bit of DI UK’s French morrocan onto an order of green so I’ll report back.

I could go on there’s loads floating about.

that sputnik does sound very nice.

Hashishin mate hands down. Check him out, straight from the Middle East to your door in no time. Sometimes quicker than U.K. vendors. You’re welcome! ;)

The best I'd have to say The Hash Collective. Will set you back a dollar though

yeh seen that, looks nice.

I have the best from chefchaoen if anyone is interested, contact me on the DM

sounds dodgy if you are not actually a seller onsite, sorry bud.

Not a problem mate, I still enjoying lol 💚

there is nothing stopping you from becoming a vendor though, theres a few guides on here.

I know mate but, I’m getting old for this amigo 💚🙌🏼

Hey axis_of_elvis,

Hope all is well with you!

We've still got our SR3 and our RS Q3 Stamp but we've recently got our hands on some Junior H "Mi Vida En Un Cigarro 2" Stamp Hash! It's a nice, touch crumble hash which isn't too sticky.

I'm unsure where this hash has come from if I'm brutally honest, the writing on it is literally just an album cover for a Spanish music video so I really am unsure on the lineage of this hash (Spain maybe? or its been stamped there... who knows?) Overall it is a very nice, strong, long lasting bit of draw with a nice creamy, moreish taste. I also find it to be quite the producer of vapour / smoke, a bowl of this hash on its own and the clouds of smoke from a tiny bit of hash shocked me. I usually smoke a lot of concentrates as of recent and I find myself smoking this hash an awful lot more as of now... more preferable high for me.

We've also relisted our Connoisseur Hash Bundle for you all again, offering 3g - 21g of a selection of our 3 hashes we have to offer. We will be adding our new hash onto the Budget Bundle shortly as well so keep an eye out for that!

SOTL

that sounds really nice man, miss the anime stamp.

We’ve got our last few bits of the Junior H morrocan Blonde hash

Very moist delicious Yaramakai Hash

Sumo Out :D

🙋‍♂️

yeh, looks nice, which is good for munchies?

Most dude but been smashing the concentrates mostly myself so have constant munchies

so after a four odd day wait due to royal mail, i have some of the la mousse hash, its very impressive in terms of flavour and efect, got that lovely maroc aroma.

Apologies for the wait dude Royal Mail are Dicks sometimes lol . Hope you enjoy its a hot seller atm the la mousse. Thanks again Eddy🍭

i can see why, its some nice hash.

you know what ill pop one on you for a try, here goes. will report back.

Of course it is mentally addictive, Also when you stop you will get night sweats and have nightmares but it is very tame compared to other drugs and I find it easy to stop for long phases. It's easier to stop than say nicotine or caffeine which I found much more difficult to quit and would not take again but weed is small potatoes in comparison lol

I don’t know but shopping on here seriously is! 🫣🤩

😂 I can lose hours of my life just scrolling and reading reviews before deciding

About to start a t-break, yes it is addictive. Physical symptoms last up to 3 days, main impact for me is sleep or lack thereof. Psychological addiction is the worse part and many people have a problem overcoming it. My friend was at drug rehab (for opiates) and he told me there were quite a few people with weed addiction there.

Yes it absolutely is, mentally and physically, to what degree is down to personal biochemistry and how much you use. Don’t listen to others to tell you if you are addicted or not. Listen to your symptoms;)

Yes

i dont think its physically addictive, even though i medicate with it and my life is crap without it.

Unfortunately it's difficult view point, cannabis can very addictive.you can rely on it, it can make you feel "normal" or set a base line, but ultimately it's beneficial if you can view it as a medicine or suppliment.

The problem is this varys from person to person.

I currently taking fluoxetine daily, but I feel cannabis helps me more than phama, does that mean cannabis is more addictive?

yeh, its difficult to frame what addiction is, i need to medicate with it, does that make me addicted? kinda, i need it, im well rough without it and vomit quite easily, i think my sister might be medicating some deep seated psychological problems but she is using addiction to explain things.

i just feel its a really negative way to see yourself and cannabis.

The addiction side of cannabis has always been downplayed and the merits/positives lauded. But yes there "can" be mild/moderate addiction (unique to each individual) but give the naysayers an inch and they will turn that into a mile long "well I don't want my child addicted, homeless and a raping thief, keep that weed BANNED..." without putting the addiction into some sort of context.

It doesn't have to be negative, you can be "addicted" to anything. Surely if you really, really like something you are addicted to it? Sport, reading, rock climbing, waterslides, etc. etc. but with most of these if you died during one of them (maybe not reading!) people would comment: "died doing what they love" and not "their addiction was their undoing."

I prefer to think of it like this: I'm addicted to cannabis but not dependant on it. I think? You have posted a good question, which only seems to raise more questions in my mind. I think I need a toot... Not that I'm addicted! :)

Yup and you’ll get cold sweats, shivers and all sorts when giving up if a heavy smoker

From my experience and a couple of mates + support groups

how much is heavy use? used to drop a gram in a spliff but now do that over a whole day.

Ummm 10-20 joints a day at peak mate.

G a joint is up there, over a day shouldnt be too bad.

It don’t get everyone, some get worse than others, some symptoms not others.

If you fully quit though the thc leaving your body can be gnarly as the sleep and dream cycle is restored to “normal”

20 years heavy smoke before I first had a lengthy 6 month t break.

Fucked me up worse than coming off some of the highest doses of morphine given to someone my age in Europe or some shit

Pray none of you go through that if you do break, as not wishing that on anyone 😭

once you *need* it, for energy, for focus or sanity - you are addicted. its just easier than most drugs to stop becaused the physical need dissipates relatively fast.

i think its not addictive but however ppl do become dependant on it to function normaly.

i myself think im not addicted.. as a recovering alcoholic alot of ppl will say im cross addicting but i say pish lol.. weed has managed to calm me down and stop me being violent it decreases my stress and anxiety enough for me to be 'normal' and function in this life..

i feel as if i had found weed sooner that my life would be so much different to what it is today..

and it also follows what rick simpson says about giving ppl 1g of concentrates every day will not only build their immunity to the concentrates but also to other things that are killing our bodies..✌

without a shadow of a doubt

however where something like heroin will inevitably cause addiction in those who partake regularly I do not think the same is for weed.

I smoke/vape/eat daily and heavily. However when I fly to Dubai to see one of my childhood friends I will be out there for 2 weeks at a time and besides a bit of insomnia the lack of THC does not affect me at all. If anything I am lot more outgoing and energetic. On the other hand another one of my childhood friends becomes short tempered and his appetite becomes non existent if he doesn't blaze.

I think it affects people differently according to their individual body chemistry. So in short, yes it is addictive but not for everyone.

Addiction is maybe too strong a word to use its more a craving like caffeine,though if you have weak willpower it can be difficult to stop especially if you have regular access to it.
Yes you do get some side effects like insomnia and crazy dreams when you stop but this is due to you once again experiencing REM sleep as THC fast tracks you through REM into deep sleep but it only lasts a few weeks and is not going to cold turkey you like narcotics or pharmaceuticals will.
I would say it is on par with things like caffeine and sugar which both have side effects when you cut them out of your system

I always thought it was, then I quit smoking joints and moved to vape and edibles, turns out it was the tobacco more than anything.

They still take cards, but they have raised the minimum spend so you have to buy quite a lot if you want to use card. I ended up just paying by BACS. Really easy and hit the vendors account within an hour.

It's easy to find people online who ship it to the UK but it's crazy expensive. I got 3 or 4 packs through customs a few years ago from Peru but run out very quickly!

is it any good? not really into the ching but the leaf i find interesting.

Me neither - most overrated narcotic there is to be honest. The leaf itself is just a mild stimulant but I really enjoyed it compared to coffee in the morning; much less jittery and doesn't make you crash in the afternoon.

One to be aware of for sure, but they state that no identifying data will be attached. Doesn't mean that won't change of course but for now they don't have the infrastructure.

The counterfeiting and theft must be costing a fortune looking at Ebay.

We found 56...52...42...30...26.07 grams of cannabis and some sweets

I wonder, did all he have to do was plead innocence and ignorance? That is the advice on LB regarding a "knock on the door" or are we being too flippant about this? One answer is not to sweat it the police have better things to do... but obviously they don't. I know (or hope) this story is an outlier but still, it has got me thinking 🤔

I’m a little confused why a supermarket manger is involved? Maybe I’m too high

i thought it must be a supermarket with a post office in it but i dont think it is, some kind of mis delivery? bit off opening someones mail though. live and let live, bet the manager does coke.

I work for the government. With absolute certainty, nobody is flagging any addresses to anyone for cannabis consumption, unless you are smoking and your neighbors can smell it or if the postie gets a wiff. A cannabis consumer is so low down the food chain of importance that the authorities do not have the resources to deal with it, and its also not work their manpower in doing so.

my mental health team know about my cannabis use they can’t flag your address that’s illegal for them to do I believe

I work for NHS and there is no way they would have done that because they are not allowed to due to confidentiality. It will be in your medical record but should not be shared with anyone and if it is, you can bring a massive case against them. You are probably better just saying you smoke it but never say where you procure it from. Keeps everyone safe.

I've spent my fair share of time dealing with mental health professionals ( I have borderline personality disorder, GAD and aspergers ) and I'm almost certain they can't share these details with anyone without your consent.

https://www.rethink.org/advice-and-information/rights-restrictions/rights-and-restrictions/confidentiality/

I've talked a lot about smoking cannabis and how it helps me with intrusive thoughts and have had no issues.

Hope I've put your mind at rest :)
Edit put right link in!

I have borderline personality disorder too. I tell my doctors about drugs but not that I get it delivered. But to be honest they dont care. It's more paperwork than it's worth. And you are only smoking and not dealing so you should be ok. Cannabis helps me to get rid of my thoughts. My care coordinator said I'm fine smoking if it helps me. There are so many different opinions from "professionals" you just have to do what's best for you. Try not to get too paranoid (easier said than done) in the nicest way possible you are a small fish to them. Police wouldn't waste their time either. Have a good smoke and let your thoughts float away.

Just to reiterate what a previous commentator stated: there is no way to “flag” another persons address etc for cannabis use.
I am a dentist myself so am very familiar with CQC and various safeguarding policies.
I have many people confiding in me regarding many illegal practices and am bound within my professional obligation to not disclose such information (unless the police specifically request information or I believe that person will do harm onto themselves or another).
I think you can rest easy my friend and your thoughts could be from your mental issues
I wish you good health

Absolute wankers they don't understand how much it helps with mental health all they want to do is pump you full of pills been there it's not nice like mate

been there man, they pumped me full of schizo pills before they found out i was autistic, i have had a realy realy bad time with the mental health system.

Autistic and bipolar here, all my mental health guys have known about my weed use because I flat out refuse to take pills. Did have one GP try to send me to rehab when I was 21 but nothing like that since

My gosh... It's like my story! BP and exactly the same situation.

I'm glad I checked in on this topic! I've never took a pill in my life and never will, same issues and last time I went to the docs they gave me a prescription for dissolvable tablets as if that would somehow be ok instead lmfao

Thankfully I think I can manage on my own. Weed is THE medicine. For me anyway :)

It's honestly ridiculous how quickly some gp's jump to 'you must be a nefarious drug addict.' from someone saying 'my horrible unexpected mood swings seem to be much calmer when I smoke weed'

yeh its weird, they seized on the cannabis use thing and missed everything else, like the cannabis was causing my problems, when really i have problems and the cannabis is helping, im more stable and eat properly, i might not get things done very well or be organised but im stable.

Yeah I have asperges like

The mental health system is a draconian mess. I was pumped full of Valium, then they realized I had ADHD. No idea how they thought filling someone with Valium was a wise idea. I even protested it but they insisted it would be great.. It wasn't.

Axis of Elvis
I’m so sorry to hear of your experience. I hope you are receiving the support you need.
Take care brother

You can access your medical records, but I wouldn't bother. Save your £10 admin fee.

Your HCW will only be interested in your consumption in relation to assessing your mental health. Honestly, they're not going to be interested where you sourced your weed, unless they wanted to buy some for themselves, of course.

I have worked in NHS mental health services for nearly 40 years. I've just finished doing a 5 year stint in forensic services. You have nothing to worry about.

i work in health literally a crime to do that the only time they can override anything is if you’re a danger to yourself or others but that usually a police call and sectioning. most people use drugs for their mental health so teams are used to it dont worry my friend but im happy you have reached our for help!!

There is no way they would flag ure address, u think the police are gonna watch u because u told ure gp u smoke weed, they can’t report anything unless ure at harm to ureself or others.
Even if u told ure doctor ure tha biggest drug dealer in tha uk they can’t say shit!!!

I have PTSD. My doctors and psychologists all know I drink and smoke weed to help cope with it. No one has reported me or are monitoring me or anything. They’re only interested in helping you get better and helping you to cope with life. No one is going to report you or monitor you at all. The only time any health professional will ever refer you is if they think you will hurt yourself or someone else.

There isnt a way to "flag" your address with royal mail mate, the postie might be on to it if it is regular small packets with no return address. Or if he smells it on delivery, and is a knob. Stick with NDD if you can as those deliveries are guaranteed and trackable to the door. I dont believe MH professionals would try to intervene in such a way. Green is the least of their worries, so much really bad stuff going on! Class A's etc even benzos very dangerous.

super unlikely mate

the mental thing is that cannabis makes me better and when i dont have it i have bad turns.

Yeah my symptoms get a lot worse without weed like

Do you mean anxiety? Because autism is neither a disease or something that needs or can be cured. It’s all the other people that aren’t right in the head doing stupid illogical stuff ;)

Ps did you try kratom?

not tried kratom, isnt that an opiate? yeh its for anxiety and other comorbidities, they already tried to cure my autism and it was painfull.

It’s an partial opioid agonist with antagonists. So no where near as addicting or with bad side effects as full agonist opioids and opiates. Great for anxiety with relaxing energy. How did they ( who is they?) try to cure your autism?

family, were suggested a book by other family, written by a russian alledged neuroscientist, supposedly "cured" their daughters autism, was a very restriced diet as part of it, did some digging at the time about the author and people were getting done for child abuse by following what was in the book.

Well that must of been bullshit for you! Were you a child when that happened?

no, late diagnosis, was funny though, they even had the gall to say "have you still not cured yourself" the only cure is death lol

I was diagnosed late as well. I still think if the “normal people” could be more logical and not just blindly follow a culture, then I would be much happier with less anxiety;)
