New to shrooms. Where to start?
New to shrooms. Where to start?
So I’ve never done shrooms before and really want to try them. What’s a good variety, amount and seller to start with?
They are such a beautiful tool in life and honestly, if you respect them, they will respect you too! The times I've went too hard are the most humbling times so take it easy! Same principle with most psychedelics tbh!
It's going to be a somewhat different experience for each individual due to our own neurochemistry, so you will need to research and experiment to find your sweet spot, however there are a few points which are useful to consider!
Firstly, start low and slow! Definitely get yourself a set of scales that are as accurate as possible to around 0.01g to be as precise as you can be for peace of mind. Depending on the genetics of the mushrooms you get, they can be either on the potent side, or on the more mellow side. I'd be inclined to suggest, for a beginner, it's definitely worth just starting with 1g to 2g, maybe less if you have stronger variety like PE or APE or maybe ever so slightly more depending on your weight etc.
The lower the dose, the less likely that you will feel nausea which is common, but the lower the dose, typically lower the affects so its a tightrope to walk on how far you want to go!
There are many ways that you can consume them, from making tea to simply eating them raw or making capsules. Each route is great but I'd recommend having as much ginger available as possible! I love eating the candied (crystallised ginger) to help combat any nausea bad vibes alongside some soothing (yet stinky) Valerian Root for calmness.
A possible route I'd also recommend once you've got an experience or two under your belt is to look into LemonTek if you are nausea inclined (basically grind up dry mushrooms, stick them in lemon juice and stir every once in a while for about 15 mins and finally either strain the bits out and just drink the "extracted" lemon juice concoction or use the lemon juice to make a ginger tea or drink the whole thing and prepare to feel the effects come on very, very quick!) The lemon juice basically kickstarts the process of breaking down the psilocybin into psilocin which is what your stomach does when you eat them thus taking some of the weight off your stomach doing all the work!
Overall, I'd say regardless of what genetics you get, you will get accustomed to your way of enjoying them! Some people like to get blasted out of all existence other people like to microdose, just make sure you are in a good state of mind and you've taken care of your basic human needs like sleep and not drinking a silly amount of caffiene. Often an empty stomach is the way to go, but a small meal of fruit or something before hand can be helpful, I find eating meat before NOT a good idea haha. Its a journey and if you research and loosely plan the experience so there is minimal stress and no impending deadlines, you're more likely to have a great time! Each experience is different and if you feel underwhelmed on your first experience, it's not a bad thing, you're just taking care and consideration for yourself! One step at a time and you'll have a great time!

Aww it's no problem at all! If you have any questions or general stuff you want to ask please don't hesitate to shoot me a message! It's always great to hear other perspectives on things, especially from other Biggas! :)
Hey Ethically living!
I would personally start at 1g and if you feel you could go stronger then the next week do 1.5g then the week after increase to 2g so on and so on until you reach the perfect dosage for you, (or decrease and go into microdosing, should your preference be the other way) this basically what I did anyways.
a good trip is 5g for me but is way too much for my bf, who can only do 2g lol he’s a wuss; all depends on your tolerance and also what/ how much you’ve eaten as I found out! (Had a huge dinner than decided to do 4g only felt a mild buzz was so pissed at myself for not waiting to eat lol!)
Its not a major issue but for me the smell and taste of magic mushies is disgusting however I could only stomach eating them (like wrapped up in a wrap with sauce, or blended up in a smoothie, aftertaste is rank but worth it! Thats just my crazy way though!)
As far as variety, in my opinion they are all basically the same in terms of altered senses and mood, however some may have more visuals or be more body intense others can be more potent so you will want to dose down, its all trial and error.
My fave shrooms are Jedi mind fuck (I swear they gave me a different buzz every time, one trip im a sexy naked fairy playing with trailers and riding my bf like there’s no tomorrow, the next im an emotional wreck and just want cuddles, they truly live up to their name! And the other mushies I would recommend are Mazatepec me and my bf both enjoyed these ones a lot! Euphoria, enhanced sexual appetite, very relaxed body buzz.
As far as vendor, I will be cheeky and offer my services, ;) I sell Stargazers which are very potent and a small amount is very enjoyable.
As I grow my own mushies I don’t purchase from Biggy so can’t recommend a vendor unfortunately, however I do purchase weed and RealD is my choice of vendor for that!
hope you find what you are looking for! happy magical shrooming!

Variety - Golden Teacher
Vendor - DrShroom
Amount - You could start with microdosing.
All just my personal alien opinion.

Hi there, great to hear your interested in delving into the world of shrooms. If you ever need have any questions feel free to ask away and we will be more than happy to get back to you. There's also some info on our page regarding shrooms, a little history of shrooms and some info on varietys.
All the best, Thespacemen
All the best, Thespacemen
I can vouch for THESPACEMEN shrooms and they are incredible quality and really good value.
I tried the trinity caps which is now my favourite cube they were incredible. I had 5g and I do believe they are slightly stronger than an average cube.
Like everyone has said, take it slow and get a feeling for them. Do plenty of research and always have a trip sitter.
I've personally never had a "bad trip", whenever I've had a feeling of been anxious or started to panic. I will take deep breaths, sing or chant. Just anyway to get oxygen back to the brain.
My 1st full dose of shrooms I went from a atheist to not believing but knowing there is something else going on that we have no idea about.
Good luck with your journey if you decide to try them!

Thanks for all the advice :) had my first try last night thanks to Spacemen’s $5 intro offer. Went for 2g of GT, although that was a little too high. Not unbearably so but I’ll go 1-1.5 next time. I lemontek’d it!
I'd say amount depends on strain. if you look at something like golden teacher then maybe up to 1.5g on the other end of the scale a penis Envy variant around 0.5g would be a good starting point. As mentioned already underwhelming is better than overwhelming for your first time. There is a real psychological barrier to stepping into the unknown so treading lightly is wise. You can redose during your trip too. Its not as potent as doing your total for the night in one go but feeling safe is more important.
I'd avoid making a tea on your first trip. I've seen mixed results and it's just another variable you don't need while you get familiar with this wonderful gift from nature.
Another thing that people sometimes overlook is a conflict with SSRI medication. The shrooms get blocked from doing their work.
Whatever you decide, enjoy the journey ❤️🙏

Hello Ethically living, really hate to bring some doom and gloom, but I really want to reiterate what NuclearTreeFrog has said about respecting the shroom. I only began my mushroom journey this June, had around six / seven amazing experiences ( I did it too much really), and got cocky thinking I was just really 'good' 😏 at taking mushrooms..
Recently I took 3.5g - less than I usually would, my head and house were a mess, I just wanted them to 'fix me'. My God. What a mistakatomaka. I didn't think it was possible to feel so bad, and I've been in some dark places. I'm not religious, but I feel God, and this was the most terrifying thing, I couldn't feel God at all, it was like I was being consumed by darkness, almost like I was being possessed by evil.. seriously. I actually wanted to kill myself. I really, really don't want to put you off, I have had some of the best, most God affirming, beautiful and fun experiences of my life with mushrooms, and have seen unprecented healing, but fk me, the flip side is not cool and very real. It's easily avoided by ensuring you come to the experience with the right intention and good set and setting. Don't underestimate it 🙏
On a massively positive note, when it finally ended, it felt like i was living my every day life in heaven, with a new found appreciation and respect for life and love. Really made me reevaluate a lot of things.
In my limited experience I've found b plus be the 'easiest', shroom, kind of 'forgiving'. I have always got mine from the fun guy on here. Dr shrooms APE were amazing as were the spacemens trinity caps. All really kind, helpful vendors.
I've found a few spoonfuls of honey and fresh ginger after taking really helps with nausea.
Really hate to have been negative, but seriously, take it seriously. You can't have light without darkness, and they have shown me unparalleled beauty, but that bad one taught me the most. I feel blessed to have had it happen, the relationships with my brother, sister and friend who all saved me that day are in another stratosphere now, and I have a whole new reverence for shrooms. They seem have an intelligence beyond our understanding.
Wishing you the best, best best experiences with them, I hope you'll post about it 🙂 🩷🩷🩷🙏♡○

I like golden teachers, might be a bit strong for your first time but if the dosage is small then you will be good. usually a 1 - 1.5g to start with for your first trip, be in good company and in a positive comfortable environment, plenty of vendors on here to choose from just check out the forum, plenty of vendors posting about their wares and recommendations.
Hi from personal experience start with a strain like Golden teacher. Very forgiving to anyone new to shrooms. Now for dose. If your sitting alone go for 1.5 if with someone go for 2. Now trip sitter. Someone you trust but also someone who is not going to impose their experiences or expectations into your journey. You need someone who will provide support when you need it. Set and setting are very important I can’t tell what that is but it should be somewhere you feel comfortable. As for taking mushrooms. These are ancient medicines so they demand a little respect. Ask for their protection and wisdom before taking. At any stage you feel overwhelmed. Just say thank you for showing me this. Gratitude goes a long way. If you have any questions at all just ask. I have some really good music and playlists I’d be happy to share! Have a great journey!

Best shake

I buy almost exclusively shake and have been buying from Pistach but he’s been a nightmare for reliability and after giving him multiple chances I’ve decided to spend elsewhere.
I'd give British Bulldog a shout and see if he has any trim available, affordable and top quality.

I hope RM’s issues aren’t causing you too many issues today.
I had a special sent Saturday morning that hasn’t arrived yet and vendor provided tracking so I know it’s an RM issue and I know my vendor had at least 5 SNDD not turn up.
Mine got sent yesterday and the tracking hasn't updated since yesterday. It was a reship as well. Not having much luck at the minute.
I’d imagine it’s more to do with Black Friday tbh! I bought a shit tonne of stuff inc a hot tub so I imagine others bought a lot too!

Ordered some of Green Cat’s Exodus Cheese last week and gosh it took me back. Really stinky and sticky but grinded easily. Even the taste was familiar. Nice and strong too. Cheese was my staple when I started smoking in the early 2000s.

What is your favourite thing to do while stoned.
Cycling through the countryside is an absolute delight. Cooking and listening to the radio. Drinking sour beer :)
Apart from the obvious....lol
Headphones, candlelight and some proper immersive music like cosmic jazz, or death/sludge/black/doom metal, or something proggy or Dylan or Joni or some Kirtan etc etc whatever I'm in the mood for.

I'm pretty much high all the time(least 2 joints before work) but chilling in the garden on a warm day with the family, a full belly with nothing to do. And the kids not being to loud. Today though it's wet, but I've got a big bag of Master kush to get through

Best things to watch while stoned
90s disaster movies. They are so fucking absurd. Congo, for example,has a gorilla in it that smokes and drinks martinis and everyone plays it completely straight. Theres another one about a volcano with Pierce Brosnan where granny's legs get boiled alive and bo-one reacts at all, not even the kids. Utterly batshit bonkers and hilarious at the same time
I tell you what, I nearly had to phone myself an ambulance after watching the new series of Brooklyn 99. Not sure if you have watched it before (Netflix) but it is hilarious when straight, never mind when stoned. There is one particular episode in the new series that set me off and I could not breathe. I'm sure there is a thread kicking about on here about this topic. There are some great suggestions on there. Also, Tik Tok is always a good laugh.
Try Italian Spiderman uncut on ..Youtube uploaded by theraineydaze be the proper size version might not be your thing I got a free laugh out of it which is rare, gets going after a while.

WANTED successful cancer treatment 4 btc
You will not beat cancer with THC and that’s dangerous advice to give! I work for a cancer charity and I’ve seen first hand the danger of non-doctors …
+ 3 more
WANTED successful cancer treatment 4 btc
My friend Jack has lymph node cancer. He can’t afford treatment, nobody will even begin to treat him without insurance or a ridculous pile of cash up front. I have no idea what he actually needs but I can afford this much since I was fairly early on bitcoin and I have frequent flier miles to get him anywhere on the planet. I hope there is some kind of shot here.
So sorry to hear this I understand the pain as I’ve lost my dear ones to this evil bitch.
Regardless of what people advice on different treatments and methods the only thing I say is your better off giving end of life care than exhausting methods and letting people take advantage of money.
My dearest past away 6 years ago and the only comfort they found was RSO or shatter wax oil. I have wax/oil which is 70% THC and is perfect for relaxation and pain management.
More than happy to send you a sample to check for yourself. I have a handful of patients who solely rely on this as they’ve exhausted all other methods. Feel free to reach out

You'd be far better off talking to the guy's doctors than tossing money about on the internet!! Seriously!!
Unfortunate news thats for sure but have you looked into alkaline dieting and fully veg diets. I had a friend that fully reversed lymph node cancer.. he had a lump on his right side next to the liver and wasnt aware of it until it was very late stage. I told him of alkaline diets and how acidic conditions in the body allow cancerous cells to thrive. He researched and found promising evidence to support that, he instantly stopped smoking bud and started taking full spectrum cbd oil (orally) to counter the pain. He never went down the route of chemo and 6 months later he went back for tests and they were shocked as to how quickly the cancerous cells had dimished.
He swapped a full meat diet for full veg, he started drinking distilled water with spirulina with ph @8- 9, he started juicing alkaline veg mixed with fruits and hit the sauna and steam room almost every day for the next 6 months.
He went cold turkey with smoking bud and cigs 2 days after finding out the news.
By far the biggest noticable change was that in 6 months he went from a 6ft3 140kg to 90kg healthy lean athletic body with insane amounts of energy and bounce.. ( he didnt work out one bit) only hit the sauna and steam room + diet change.
I have seen much promising research with the use of alkaline diets and think it is definitely something to consider as its not difficult to do. Only requires willpower to continue.
I will say this, it took him a month to get used to the change and he was weak for that month, but i figure its due to the body adapting to the new ph of all the food ingested and hormone levels being corrected from the lack of bud.
Not looking for btc payments just passing knowledge that hopefully helps.

Just to add to this
I’d recommend looking into the Wim Hoff method
Supposedly the breathing technique will make your blood alkaline, at least temporarily
They’ve had this dude (and 12 others) hooked up to monitors, injected them with an endotoxin, and if I recall correctly, most of them didn’t even get sick.
Just something to consider looking into.

What options is he seeking?
I'm no professional but medical tourism is the mans best option. If 4 btc is what you have, I can easily personal message some possible facilities that might be a great option.

Absolutely man, look into Malaysia, Indonesia, India, & Thailand believe it or not. Their medical tourism facilities rival Western counterparts par on par except they aren't trying to turn you into a debt slave for it. Try to get in touch personally with the hospitals that are oriented for foreigners there; there are a lot of third party agencies that organize everything, but then they also skim a lot of your money and don't always give you the needs you require. Check out Patients Without Borders as a good nonprofit guide. You might be able to find previous years handbooks available with more in depth info on specific facilities and their capacity in specialization. If you can't find it I can try to rummage one up for you man. Best of luck and best wishes to you and your friend man. Our damn medical culture is a fucking clusterfuck so here's to finding him some good health abroad.
Clusterfuck is a perfect description. I can vouch for Bangkok hospitals, makes most western ones ones look like shitholes, very advanced and luxurious to boot and its less than the cost of your deductible.
…
ever heard of colloidal silver ions ? I heard that they can fight cancer, but needs to be combined with a healthy and stressfree diet... Best luck, i hope im not to late tho.
Medical tourism would be your best. And I would ignore the suggestions to beat it with THC, shamans, miracle pills. Instead they’ll likely need chemo and radiotherapy to beat it! I work for a charity that treats people with cancer!
If you work for a charity that treats cancer, how come you haven't noticed yet that chemo and radiotherapy are worthless?
My two grandpas, my uncle and my best friend have been through this... for nothing except pouring money on Big Pharma.
My two grandpas, my uncle and my best friend have been through this... for nothing except pouring money on Big Pharma.
I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, please seriously make them consider stem cell treatment ASAP, because I know of two other people who have had this, and that has not only helped in both cases, in one case it has cured the cancer. With stem cell treatment there chances of survival are much higher. Please look into centers that do this, and think about setting up a gofundme page to raise the dosh, theres no time to waste amigo, good luck ;)
They gave out the Nobel prize 5 times for curing cancer...it was covered up as there was no profit in the cure.
2 doctors won awards, Warburg found that cancer cant live in an oxygenated environment. Budwig found how to oxygenate the blood.
the Budwig diet was developed by Joanna Budwig who was head of the German NHS for 10 yeares or so after the war.
you need, cottage cheese, unhomogenised milk and flax seed capsules.
unhomogenuised cottage cheese is ideal but its hard to find so mix unhomogenised milk into the cottage cheese, then you add FRESH flax seed oil, has to be fresh so you MUST use capsules not a bottle. pop the caps into the mix and eat twice a day.
stop all sugar and processed food....also add that rick simpson oil to your diet.
FIVE NOBEL PRIZES FOR CURING CANCER. it works. it worked thousands of times...the corporations cant make a profit from it so its covered up.
links here bro...hope it helps.

Yes good on you for putting this out there. Doubters do your own research this is true. There are many natural cures for cancer and they no it! Truth is they make a lot of money and keep the population down by doing this. If anyone can explain why they still use chemo and radiotherapies that are extremely damaging when there are much better treatments out there. Genuinely would love to hear from you
i used to watch videos on youtube of IAN R CRANE, he covered a story of DAVID NOAKES and LYN THYER, who shared GCMaf as a viable cancer treatment. the MHRA destroyed the labs and seized the money. the people on the board of the british MHRA, used to work for companies such as GSK. they were illegally extradited to france, with idental/copied charges.. an interesting case.
ANYWAY,
well over 5 years ago, Ian said that the chemo treatments cost around £40,000 so a company is benefiting extortionately when the NHS turn to chemo. basically money laundering.

No one can tell you what anyone can do but I would do this...
Buy Cheaply available Vitamin B17/Apricot Seeds kills tumours cells, same as apple seeds, it breaks down and releases its tiny amount of cyanide in the organic molecule inside of the acidic environment of the tumours. So its a direct shot and causes tumor cell death cutting blood supply off speeding up the reduction of the tumours. The released cyanide then is filtered out of the body. Its a natural vitamin. Theres books on this.
GCMAF has been ridiculed like crazy but when one dives deep they may find out it works and helped many 1000s of peeps.
There is clinics around the world offering various help on this front. Homeopathic Health clinics are all over UK and will give advice, just call them.
Need to stop all simple sugars and carbs as tumour cells use this sugar to survive insted of oxygen rich blood supply. The Cancer mechanism is analogous to a wound on your flesh where the end cells have a lower blood supply but now need to multiply to close said wound.
I would Eat raw vegetables and greens, organic meats like steak, eating like a lion would, turns body over to different biological processes.
Take all in combination of High doses of vit C and D3 which is known to help. I would do all above at once and my monitor health along the way.
After a while I would get retested to see if its working.

Well I live on the west coast but im from a holistic background so the first things first have your friend change his diet and the next thing is have them detox this is just the first step once you do this things will be a little more treatable goldenseal or cerasee tea these herbs are blood cleansing elements just keep trying I got my grandma on a great health care which cost a lot of money and she passed in my arms so go natural first to build and than go to the clinic to make sure your on the right path and may god walk with you all in your trails.
Hi Willia - very sorry to hear about your friend. My extensive research into this topic led me to something called “GC-MAF” or vitamin D binding hormone, that has been successfully used to cure most cancers. It was manufactured by a company called First Immune in Jersey and could be ordered in a thermos with ice to anywhere in the world, before coming under fire from big Pharma. The principle behind it is that it boosts your immune system, which is intelligent enough to identify and kill cancer cells (it does this all the time when functioning optimally). The First Immune website doesn’t appear to active anymore unfortunately but you can probably get it if you dig deep enough and speak to the right people.
Hi, I do have an awesome idea, but I won't share it in public as it is sensitive information cancer can be healed. Everything has cause and effect. I had cancer when I was 22 :) Contact me if interested. I will gladly do all I can to get him out of that crap hole :) obviously its a work that will take a while, but it can be corrected to natural state! Body is a mirror of your internal world! Mine started when my grandmother died and her sister and her kids blamed me for all kind of nonesence, because I lived in the same flat with her for few years. When I disconnected from those people and left that flat, only then I healed completely. There is 3 books that could easily help to identify cause. It is most of the times very accurate. Also need to understand well how energy is flowing, how to charge energy in and how to release from the body. I already said quite a lot :)
Fenbendazole, Ivermectin and Methylene Blue have all been shown to have positive effects fighting cancer. Try using Yandex.com for a censorship free search option to get a full spectrum of opinion on this important subject. Google is heavily censored to protect various corporate and government interests so to find unbiased views it isn't a good option.
Bro it’s easy. FENBENDAZOLE, IVERMECTIN. APRICOT SEEDS, PAPAYA SEEDS, SOUR SOP. Will all cure cancer in conjunction with.. a Keto diet which consists of no glucose or glutamine (sugars) 95% of what feeds cancer is sugar that is its food so starve it of sugar. Low carbs like none. His diet should consist of fruit, veg and fats ONLY! And importantly he wants to be fasting too, atleast intermittent fasting. Ideally start with 2 days of fasting and then begin the keto diet and he will starve the cancer it really is that simple. Do this and his cancer will just disappear. If his cancer is caused by parasites then fenbendazole or ivermectin will rid of it. So would papaya seeds (swallowed whole), and apricot seeds. If his cancer is not caused by parasites then starve it with a no sugar keto diet. Do all of the above together and say good bye to cancer for ever. If you think I’m lying then do your research. Also ivermectin cures every disease, illness and cancer. Why do you think they unshelfed and banned it through Covid. I hope he follows this and does his research and cures his cancer with 0 side effects. I am not affiliated with any of the above what would be the point, I’ve just researched this shit for years. ( I had to put spaces in the links before it wouldn’t let me post otherwise so just take the spaces out. Their safe
So sorry to hear that. I would be happy to give you rso at cost in hope that it helps them find some comfort.
im not the most knowledgeable on the topic but very recently the UK started trialing cancer "vaccines". theyre not your usual vaccine though they use your dna to make an injection tailored to you to prime your immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells. im not sure how to get accepted as it seems to be a new trial but i might be worth a shot. hope this can help :)
My friends Dad was recently diagnosed with this same cancer.
The issue is most doctors will treat the cancer instead of treating Jack so he can be healthy and strong to fight the cancer.
Sugar and carbohydrates will make the cancer worse, a low glycemic diet to control his blood sugar is ideal.
I'm gonna get hold of the diet that was passed on to him and send it over to you.
Tibetan Healing Mantras are also very powerful, they have specific mantras to cure every disease!

Sorry to hear that. My mum had cancer and refused medical treatments and went to an ashram in India for ayervedic treatment and it worked, that was over 20 years ago. My dog also had cancer 3 years ago and was given not long to live. I got him onto THC oil and 3 years later he’s still going. I would recommend trying some alternative treatments. THC is a good place to start ❤️
Please check the product we are selling its currently being used to treat patients with cancer and my friend also cured his with the oil he makes that's why hes so passionate about it.
Have a look at my juice high cbd and medium thc have helped many people and pets also have reduced a tumor in friends dogs ear https://littlebiggy.org/link/0K756l
I’m no doctor nor expert, but latest research suggests fasting and absolutely no sugar…of any kind. Look in to it…costs nothing…and it may slow the spread/ growth. Seems most cancer cells thrive on sugar and fasting helps trigger autophagy ( bodies own way of clearing dead or damaged cellular material)
Early days but some oncologists are already recommending this as first action. Best of luck to you and your friend.

I have access to RSO aka Rick Simpson oil..so.ething that is proven to stick.ulate apoptosis. If you need it, let me know.
Hi, im guessing this was posted a while back, any updates? Did you find treatment for your friend?
How’s this going? There’s an interesting story in my local area. A man got diagnosed with cancer and 4 weeks to live in 2019. He hasn’t told this in the reports because I think he’s trying to sue the NHS because now in 2023 his scans show no cancer. He’s going down the misdiagnosed route but I know he was taking cannabis oil and so it might just be that cleared the cancer. My dog also had cancer and doesn’t anymore. I’m giving it to an 82 year old women who’s got terminal leukaemia because it defo won’t harm and might help. I think I’ve got thyroid/lymph node cancer and I’ll be doing down that route xx
RSO/ ethanol extraction can definitely be useful and successful in cancer treatments. but it will need high dosage. For that reason the patientt should be followed by medical doctor.
We have multiple cancer patients using our RSO oil ( directly ), I'm not saying it's a concrete solution, though it is definitely considered helpful, also I have read they use turkey tail mushroom in China to help boost the immune system. Goodluck :)
There is a way and I’m happy to help. No fees although if you feel obliged to donate after success it is down to you but not compulsory. Just a few simple life changes !!!
im sorry to hear that mate , have a look for barbera o`neil on youtube and she is an amazing woman saving thousands of people from early departure -- barbera o`neill its not a treatment he needs just a little lifestyle change ----
THC has been proven to fight tumors
here we have some very strong thc pills

You will not beat cancer with THC and that’s dangerous advice to give! I work for a cancer charity and I’ve seen first hand the danger of non-doctors giving medical advice!
yeah cos the doctors who all took an oath to 'do no harm' are pushing a fake vax pretty hard...how many will that kill? cancer research is a scam for the corporations, cancer is an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year...end of...doctors tell lies for money and it is technically illegal under the shareholder agreement for any corporation to ever provide a cure for anything.. what did cancer research cure with the hundreds of millions per year they get? nothing. they tell lies about Budwig like a little corporate bitch..struggling not to swear here...the corporations are the enemy of humanity wake up .
Yeah I've seen that too. My good friend took RSO when first diagnosed it helped with symptoms but didn't get rid of the cancer. Reluctantly he went onto radio and chemo which worked and he was given the all clear. 3 years later and it came back hard and he died last week. He never stopped dosing himself with lots of cannabis products but they only offered pain relief and a form of distraction. Love you Tony K. In our hearts you live on brother.
You will not beat cancer with THC?
Well the truth is that THC is a great medicine with longitudinal history! Also it is not there to be an alternative to chemo. although it does fight tumours
It really is there to provide an alternative to some harsh pain killers with many side effects.

Appreciate your sentiment entirely, but this is an odd site for the poster to come to if they don’t want THC to feature somewhere in the suggestions?
There have been studies into the use of thc to help cur cancer. I watched a documentary about parents who used it on their children who had brain tumours, it worked the doctors couldn’t deny the tumour was shrinking at a rate much quicker than chemo etc alone. One of the families chose not to use chemo at all the child’s tumour shrank to nothing they survived ‘a miracle’

maybe a season 16. I think its been long enough since the finale and i didnt like Deans ending honestly. Well easy for them to be revived the new god is there brother.... LMAO love the show and felt I need to put context to what i meant:)
Some great recommendations so far. I’ll add a few obscure ones that haven’t been mentioned or that you might of missed.
1. Chernobyl (HBO)
2. Raised By Wolves (HBO)
3. Pantheon (Animated show on Amazon New Zealand I believe but if you know how to find stuff to watch online for free, it’s there)
4. Vikings (Amazon)
5. The Boys (Amazon
6. Severance (Apple Tv)
7. See (Apple TV)
8. Silo (Apple TV)
9. Boardwalk Empire (Can’t remember)
10. The Englishman (BBC Iplayer)
I believe all of these shows to be great!
2 and 3 have been unfortunately cancelled despite having no business being cancelled, it’s pretty shit that we might not get any conclusions to their stories but what’s there is worth watching.
I’ve added where you can watch them on their native streaming services but if you’d rather watch them for free, I got you! Here’s the site I use as it has NO ads and all of the shows I’ve listed can be found there:

I appreciate your input. I’ve been searching for something to binge but, truthfully, I’ve grown to be a “tv snob” lol… my expectations after watching such series as Game Of Thrones has really diminished my desire to watch anything mediocre. I’ll absolutely look into these series - if you have a recommendation or suggestion on where I should start, I’m all ears!
I’d start with Chernobyl, it’s a quick mini series, 5 episodes I believe. Get that out of the way then I’d hop on The Boys after that. Anything from my list after that and you’re good. Ps, I’d class The English and Pantheon as hidden gems😎
Anytime pal. I hope you enjoy and if you fancy a chat and review once you’ve got stuck in, hit me up.
Currently Im enjoying Lawman Bass Reeves and Monarch Legacy of Monsters. Slow Horses series 3 starting on the 1st December I think (Series 1 and 2 available now).
It must be mentioned here somewhere but I cant help it it is one of my secret pleasures.
Supernatural. Sam and Dean. Also if you like it I think a new season is coming.
if you have watched the boys Dean is the super soldier (Captain some1 I really cant remember his name) in series 2.

Gomorrah (Amazon), Suburra (Netflix), The Wire (Sky?) & The Last Kingdom (Netflix). A few I’ve really enjoyed lately 👍
Game Of Thrones above everything and there’s no second place… but have you already seen it?
Ozark, How to get away with murder (practically a twist on every episode), The Night Agent, Laughing out loud (currently watching UK version but theres so many out there)
No idea how old this post is - my reply 26/03/26 - but I've just finished Mrs Davis on ITVx. Unexpectedly great and impossible to describe, its a totally crazy programme, that goes all over the place, made me laugh throughout and the whole story wraps up in just 8 episodes. Not one of those shows that drags on and on forever
If you like 80’s films and tv try the old Miami Vice series on prime, I’ve been really enjoying it.

Benjamin Zephaniah, rest in power - 1958-2023
Huge respect to him. Brilliant poet and he rejected an OBE. A big loss! RIP
Benjamin Zephaniah, rest in power - 1958-2023
'Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought'
- Benjamin Zephaniah
I woke up on the morning of November 13 wondering how the government could be overthrown and what could replace it, and then I noticed a letter from the prime minister's office. It said: "The prime minister has asked me to inform you, in strict confidence, that he has in mind, on the occasion of the forthcoming list of New Year's honours to submit your name to the Queen with a recommendation that Her Majesty may be graciously pleased to approve that you be appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire."
Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word "empire"; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised. It is because of this concept of empire that my British education led me to believe that the history of black people started with slavery and that we were born slaves, and should therefore be grateful that we were given freedom by our caring white masters. It is because of this idea of empire that black people like myself don't even know our true names or our true historical culture. I am not one of those who are obsessed with their roots, and I'm certainly not suffering from a crisis of identity; my obsession is about the future and the political rights of all people. Benjamin Zephaniah OBE - no way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire.
There's something very strange about receiving a letter from Tony Blair's office asking me if I want to accept this award. In the past couple of months I've been on Blair's doorstep a few times. I have begged him to come out and meet me; I have been longing for a conversation with him, but he won't come out, and now here he is asking me to meet him at the palace! I was there with a million people on February 15, and the last time I was there was just a couple of weeks ago. My cousin, Michael Powell, was arrested and taken to Thornhill Road police station in Birmingham where he died. Now, I know how he died. The whole of Birmingham knows how he died, but in order to get this article published and to be politically (or journalistically) correct, I have to say that he died in suspicious circumstances. The police will not give us any answers. We have not seen or heard anything of all the reports and investigations we were told were going to take place. Now, all that my family can do is join with all the other families who have lost members while in custody because no one in power is listening to us. Come on Mr Blair, I'll meet you anytime. Let's talk about your Home Office, let's talk about being tough on crime.
This OBE thing is supposed to be for my services to literature, but there are a whole lot of writers who are better than me, and they're not involved in the things that I'm involved in. All they do is write; I spend most of my time doing other things. If they want to give me one of these empire things, why can't they give me one for my work in animal rights? Why can't they give me one for my struggle against racism? What about giving me one for all the letters I write to innocent people in prisons who have been framed? I may just consider accepting some kind of award for my services on behalf of the millions of people who have stood up against the war in Iraq. It's such hard work - much harder than writing poems.
And hey, if Her Majesty may be graciously pleased to lay all that empire stuff on me, why can't she write to me herself. Let's cut out the middleman - she knows me. The last time we met, it was at a concert I was hosting. She came backstage to meet me. That didn't bother me; lots of people visit my dressing room after performances. Me and the South African performers I was working with that night thought it rather funny that we had a royal groupie. She's a bit stiff but she's a nice old lady. Let me make it clear: I have nothing against her or the royal family. It is the institution of the monarchy that I loathe so very much, the monarchy that still refuses to apologise for sanctioning slavery.
There is a part of me that hopes that after writing this article I shall never be considered as a Poet Laureate or an OBE sucker again. Let this put an end to it. This may lose me some of my writing friends; some people may never want to work with me again, but the truth is I think OBEs compromise writers and poets, and laureates suddenly go soft - in the past I've even written a poem, Bought and Sold, saying that.
There are many black writers who love OBEs, it makes them feel like they have made it. When it suits them, they embrace the struggle against the ruling class and the oppression they visit upon us, but then they join the oppressors' club. They are so easily seduced into the great house of Babylon known as the palace. For them, a wonderful time is meeting the Queen and bowing before her presence.
I was shocked to see how many of my fellow writers jumped at the opportunity to go to Buckingham Palace when the Queen had her "meet the writers day" on July 9 2002, and I laughed at the pathetic excuses writers gave for going. "I did it for my mum"; "I did it for my kids"; "I did it for the school"; "I did it for the people", etc. I have even heard black writers who have collected OBEs saying that it is "symbolic of how far we have come". Oh yes, I say, we've struggled so hard just to get a minute with the Queen and we are so very grateful - not.
I've never heard of a holder of the OBE openly criticising the monarchy. They are officially friends, and that's what this cool Britannia project is about. It gives OBEs to cool rock stars, successful businesswomen and blacks who would be militant in order to give the impression that it is inclusive. Then these rock stars, successful women, and ex-militants write to me with the OBE after their name as if I should be impressed. I'm not. Quite the opposite - you've been had.
Writers and artists who see themselves as working outside the establishment are constantly being accused of selling out as soon as they have any kind of success. I've been called a sell-out for selling too many books, for writing books for children, for performing at the Royal Albert Hall, for going on Desert Island Discs, and for appearing on the Parkinson show. But I want to reach as many people as possible without compromising the content of my work.
What continues to be my biggest deal with the establishment must be my work with the British Council, of which, ironically, the Queen is patron. I have no problem with this. It has never told me what to say, or what not to say. I have always been free to criticise the government and even the council itself. This is what being a poet is about. Most importantly, through my work with the council I am able to show the world what Britain is really about in terms of our arts, and I am able to partake in the type of political and cultural intercourse which is not possible in the mainstream political arena. I have no problem representing the reality of our multiculturalism, which may sometimes mean speaking about the way my cousin Michael died in a police station. But then, I am also at ease letting people know that our music scene is more than what they hear in the charts, and that British poetry is more than Wordsworth, or even Motion. I have no problem with all of this because this is about us and what we do. It is about what happens on the streets of our country and not in the palace or at No 10.
Me, OBE? Whoever is behind this offer can never have read any of my work. Why don't they just give me some of those great African works of art that were taken in the name of the empire and let me return them to their rightful place? You can't fool me, Mr Blair. You want to privatise us all; you want to send us to war. You stay silent when we need you to speak for us, preferring to be the voice of the US. You have lied to us, and you continue to lie to us, and you have poured the working-class dream of a fair, compassionate, caring society down the dirty drain of empire. Stick it, Mr Blair - and Mrs Queen, stop going on about the empire. Let's do something else.
Bought and Sold
Smart big awards and prize money
Is killing off black poetry
It's not censors or dictators that are cutting up our art.
The lure of meeting royalty
And touching high society
Is damping creativity and eating at our heart.
The ancestors would turn in graves
Those poor black folk that once were slaves would wonder
How our souls were sold
And check our strategies,
The empire strikes back and waves
Tamed warriors bow on parades
When they have done what they've been told
They get their OBEs.
Don't take my word, go check the verse
Cause every laureate gets worse
A family that you cannot fault as muse will mess your mind,
And yeah, you may fatten your purse
And surely they will check you first when subjects need to be amused
With paid for prose and rhymes.
Take your prize, now write more,
Faster,
Fuck the truth
Now you're an actor do not fault your benefactor
Write, publish and review,
You look like a dreadlocks Rasta,
You look like a ghetto blaster,
But you can't diss your paymaster
And bite the hand that feeds you.
What happened to the verse of fire
Cursing cool the empire
What happened to the soul rebel that Marley had in mind,
This bloodstained, stolen empire rewards you and you conspire,
(Yes Marley said that time will tell)
Now look they've gone and joined.
We keep getting this beating
It's bad history repeating
It reminds me of those capitalists that say
'Look you have a choice,'
It's sick and self-defeating if our dispossessed keep weeping
And we give these awards meaning
But we end up with no voice.

- Benjamin Zephaniah
I woke up on the morning of November 13 wondering how the government could be overthrown and what could replace it, and then I noticed a letter from the prime minister's office. It said: "The prime minister has asked me to inform you, in strict confidence, that he has in mind, on the occasion of the forthcoming list of New Year's honours to submit your name to the Queen with a recommendation that Her Majesty may be graciously pleased to approve that you be appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire."
Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word "empire"; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised. It is because of this concept of empire that my British education led me to believe that the history of black people started with slavery and that we were born slaves, and should therefore be grateful that we were given freedom by our caring white masters. It is because of this idea of empire that black people like myself don't even know our true names or our true historical culture. I am not one of those who are obsessed with their roots, and I'm certainly not suffering from a crisis of identity; my obsession is about the future and the political rights of all people. Benjamin Zephaniah OBE - no way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire.
There's something very strange about receiving a letter from Tony Blair's office asking me if I want to accept this award. In the past couple of months I've been on Blair's doorstep a few times. I have begged him to come out and meet me; I have been longing for a conversation with him, but he won't come out, and now here he is asking me to meet him at the palace! I was there with a million people on February 15, and the last time I was there was just a couple of weeks ago. My cousin, Michael Powell, was arrested and taken to Thornhill Road police station in Birmingham where he died. Now, I know how he died. The whole of Birmingham knows how he died, but in order to get this article published and to be politically (or journalistically) correct, I have to say that he died in suspicious circumstances. The police will not give us any answers. We have not seen or heard anything of all the reports and investigations we were told were going to take place. Now, all that my family can do is join with all the other families who have lost members while in custody because no one in power is listening to us. Come on Mr Blair, I'll meet you anytime. Let's talk about your Home Office, let's talk about being tough on crime.
This OBE thing is supposed to be for my services to literature, but there are a whole lot of writers who are better than me, and they're not involved in the things that I'm involved in. All they do is write; I spend most of my time doing other things. If they want to give me one of these empire things, why can't they give me one for my work in animal rights? Why can't they give me one for my struggle against racism? What about giving me one for all the letters I write to innocent people in prisons who have been framed? I may just consider accepting some kind of award for my services on behalf of the millions of people who have stood up against the war in Iraq. It's such hard work - much harder than writing poems.
And hey, if Her Majesty may be graciously pleased to lay all that empire stuff on me, why can't she write to me herself. Let's cut out the middleman - she knows me. The last time we met, it was at a concert I was hosting. She came backstage to meet me. That didn't bother me; lots of people visit my dressing room after performances. Me and the South African performers I was working with that night thought it rather funny that we had a royal groupie. She's a bit stiff but she's a nice old lady. Let me make it clear: I have nothing against her or the royal family. It is the institution of the monarchy that I loathe so very much, the monarchy that still refuses to apologise for sanctioning slavery.
There is a part of me that hopes that after writing this article I shall never be considered as a Poet Laureate or an OBE sucker again. Let this put an end to it. This may lose me some of my writing friends; some people may never want to work with me again, but the truth is I think OBEs compromise writers and poets, and laureates suddenly go soft - in the past I've even written a poem, Bought and Sold, saying that.
There are many black writers who love OBEs, it makes them feel like they have made it. When it suits them, they embrace the struggle against the ruling class and the oppression they visit upon us, but then they join the oppressors' club. They are so easily seduced into the great house of Babylon known as the palace. For them, a wonderful time is meeting the Queen and bowing before her presence.
I was shocked to see how many of my fellow writers jumped at the opportunity to go to Buckingham Palace when the Queen had her "meet the writers day" on July 9 2002, and I laughed at the pathetic excuses writers gave for going. "I did it for my mum"; "I did it for my kids"; "I did it for the school"; "I did it for the people", etc. I have even heard black writers who have collected OBEs saying that it is "symbolic of how far we have come". Oh yes, I say, we've struggled so hard just to get a minute with the Queen and we are so very grateful - not.
I've never heard of a holder of the OBE openly criticising the monarchy. They are officially friends, and that's what this cool Britannia project is about. It gives OBEs to cool rock stars, successful businesswomen and blacks who would be militant in order to give the impression that it is inclusive. Then these rock stars, successful women, and ex-militants write to me with the OBE after their name as if I should be impressed. I'm not. Quite the opposite - you've been had.
Writers and artists who see themselves as working outside the establishment are constantly being accused of selling out as soon as they have any kind of success. I've been called a sell-out for selling too many books, for writing books for children, for performing at the Royal Albert Hall, for going on Desert Island Discs, and for appearing on the Parkinson show. But I want to reach as many people as possible without compromising the content of my work.
What continues to be my biggest deal with the establishment must be my work with the British Council, of which, ironically, the Queen is patron. I have no problem with this. It has never told me what to say, or what not to say. I have always been free to criticise the government and even the council itself. This is what being a poet is about. Most importantly, through my work with the council I am able to show the world what Britain is really about in terms of our arts, and I am able to partake in the type of political and cultural intercourse which is not possible in the mainstream political arena. I have no problem representing the reality of our multiculturalism, which may sometimes mean speaking about the way my cousin Michael died in a police station. But then, I am also at ease letting people know that our music scene is more than what they hear in the charts, and that British poetry is more than Wordsworth, or even Motion. I have no problem with all of this because this is about us and what we do. It is about what happens on the streets of our country and not in the palace or at No 10.
Me, OBE? Whoever is behind this offer can never have read any of my work. Why don't they just give me some of those great African works of art that were taken in the name of the empire and let me return them to their rightful place? You can't fool me, Mr Blair. You want to privatise us all; you want to send us to war. You stay silent when we need you to speak for us, preferring to be the voice of the US. You have lied to us, and you continue to lie to us, and you have poured the working-class dream of a fair, compassionate, caring society down the dirty drain of empire. Stick it, Mr Blair - and Mrs Queen, stop going on about the empire. Let's do something else.
Bought and Sold
Smart big awards and prize money
Is killing off black poetry
It's not censors or dictators that are cutting up our art.
The lure of meeting royalty
And touching high society
Is damping creativity and eating at our heart.
The ancestors would turn in graves
Those poor black folk that once were slaves would wonder
How our souls were sold
And check our strategies,
The empire strikes back and waves
Tamed warriors bow on parades
When they have done what they've been told
They get their OBEs.
Don't take my word, go check the verse
Cause every laureate gets worse
A family that you cannot fault as muse will mess your mind,
And yeah, you may fatten your purse
And surely they will check you first when subjects need to be amused
With paid for prose and rhymes.
Take your prize, now write more,

Just a reminder due to the intervention of ‘prove-it’ Borg the result of todays draw will be decided by the score of the first batsman dismissed in the West Indies v England cricket match starting at 13:30 GMT.
England win the toss and bat first so keep your eyes peeled on the first wicket down and your number in the draw.
If by some miracle the score goes beyond our final entrant we’ll go back around.

Johnny Ekstrom, that guy could hit ‘em! Always remember him from European ties in the mid 80’s for Gothenburg. Used to always be him in the playground!
For me, it's gotta be Wayne Rooney. Ever since I found out we're slightly related, his games connect with me so much more. Legend.
Ronaldo Nazário and Ronaldinho were popular in the mid 2000s and I used to collect stickers and exchange them with my class mates. I miss those times
Emile Heskey. Legend of the game. The only man who can hit the bar at point blank range in front of an open goal. Legend.
Be fair though, no one plays ‘big man’ in the big man/little man formation we used to be obsessed with like Emile.

No idea how to do this I’m afraid.
So how about this-
Number now corresponds to the total runs scored by the opening batter in West Indies v England this Sunday (dec 3) at 13:30. In the event of a duck (0) the next batters score will Be taken.
I.e England bat first, England’s no1 scores 42 runs. Number 42 wins.
Easier? No. Able to fix it? Also no.

What I like about him, is he's something of a "journeyman" and scored a crucial goal for his local team.
Solid, nothing flashy, but dependable. And his reward was that one, winning goal.
And he continued his career in the grassroots of the game and comes across as just a really nice guy, a decent human being.

The Spacemen - smoke report. Bacio gelato
This is the first time I am using this particular vendor and I was not disappointed. Stealth was good and delivery was on point. Some vendors on here offering sndd do not actually get you the product next day even if it was paid for before cut off time. As for the buds solid nuggets of goodness, she was a stanky girl fresh out the pack. The actual flower had flecks of purple dotted about and was manicured nicely. The grind had a nice fluffy consistency to it. As for the smoke we had a light grey ash burning at an even consistency, a light oil ring formed while smoking away. Each toke was smooth and terps were very creamy and fruity on this one. The high is a deep body relaxation my muscles and mind feel relaxed perfect for sleeping or relaxing . This was a much needed smoke. For the price this flower far surpasses any others in this price point. Too many vendors charge extortionate prices for subpar flower. The spacemen is not one of them.
Nice 👌 review. Only heard positive feedback about them and the gear.
This is a strain that I’ve been wanting to try for ages. Don’t know if your review made it better or worse lol 😂

To date my favs from the Spacemen are Mochi and White Trufflez.
I've enjoyed every single strain from them so far.

Seems like everyone’s loving the spacemen atm. Yet to try anything from them but i’ve been eyeing up that menu for a while and can’t wait to get a few bits in. the bacio is definitely on the list to get when i do.
Heard there might some new strains coming out soon too 👀

I only bought a half oz of the motor breath and I regretted not buying more as soon as I opened the pack, takes me back to when I started smoking, couldn't believe how high I was after a few bongs, have to also shoutout the Blanco and Cereal milk which are both ridiculously tasty and possibly the best looking buds I've ever seen in 18 years.
Also his comms are fantastic!

{star trek}
Worst Star Trek Series of All Time?
Discovery closely followed by enterprise
I loved the opener with Klingons on Earth but even then it kept getting dumber with that poor man's Kirk routine from this guy. It seems like he belongs in an old Disney movie playing off a car.
Discovery by a long way for me. It just didn’t feel like Star Trek. Rewatched all of Enterprise recently and it was way better than I remembered.
Really? The 2nd season was annoying as any grade school social propaganda but I thought the 1st season was right up there near the best Trek.
I’m sure I’ll rewatch it in a couple of years and have a fresh perspective. I just couldn’t handle ( forgive me if I’m taking Star Trek too seriously ? )the fact that, fundamentally Star Fleet is military, yes? How did Tilly make it onto a military vessel? Even Reg Berkeley for all his foibles had a semblance of respect for the fact he was on a military mission. I love Joss Whedon’s dialogue and sass but he’s an inappropriate inspiration for Star Trek characters.
A Trekker with some chops, welcome aboard sir. How would you rank Saru? I thought he was better than Data and right under Spock until they destroyed his character in the 2nd season.
saru should be carrying more of the woke issues (he's got several dimensions to work with) and let the humans stop being caricatures.
Can you remember when Enterprise was on channel 4 on a Sunday and if there was a two part one, they would show part one and forget to put part two on the week after!
totally agree. I watched part of discovery with my flatmate who hasn't seen any other trek series, she loves it and i feel nothing for it. I feel like it was made to bring in new fans
might try re watching enterprise but i don't have much hope for that either.
might try re watching enterprise but i don't have much hope for that either.
For me it has to be Enterprise. Even the theme music felt wrong to me. It felt like the cast never really jelled and as a result the whole thing feels flat and disappointing.
Maybe its time to consider re-watching Enterprise? Perhaps it will age like a fine wine! ?
I'm waiting for this thread to descend into a Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate, but we all know there is only one winner....
Live long and prosper ?

No. Don’t bother. It’s dreadfully noughties. Faux jeopardy and bad acting galore. Thank god Firefly came along when it did
Picard. It breaks my heart to say it, but what a huge disappointment. Patrick Stewart was wasted on that tripe.
Discovery has to be a close second it's not terrible but it's not really Trek.

Enjoyed voyager except for Tom Paris and his boring holodeck programme. Any episode in which he was the main character were crap but just my opinion !
the latest movies, running the same plot as the wrath of khan but instead of being in their mid 50s...which was the point of the plot...they were like 11..and it made zero sense...see now spock isnt a vulcan at all in his behaviour, he shouts and looses it like a moron...star trek is written by retarded 9 year olds now...like most hollywood crap
I kinda loved them it was nice to see a real budget at work, actually saw the 1st one in 4d.
I was going to say DS9 but I actually enjoy the later seasons. The original show was so dated I couldn’t bother to watch it. Enterprise was dire but short lived. Honestly I don’t think trek has bad series... the new films on the other hand ???

Ordered without signing in
I ordered some items without signing in. I have never done this before so not sure what happens, any help would be much appreciated
Have you messaged Transaxe Support to explain the situation, provide the order number and details, and ask for them to sort it out if you don't receive anything?
Give the vendor a chance to get the items to me and then I will. Luckily its only a £30 order
Have you ever had to dispute before under your signed in account? I had to put in my first today and I'm not happy to do it, but it's over £125.
No disputes, apparently they've sold out of product so the vendor has cancelled it. I'm in talks with transaxe at moment to see if I can get a refund.
When I first started ordering a couple of years ago I didn’t use a log in, no problems. I have since then ordered without signing in,but you can had the order onto your account, and then chat with seller if you have any issues
I've tried messaging seller but they just not replying. I'm not 100% what I'm doing to add the order to my orders. Looks like I'm taking the hit, was only £30odd quid order so not too terrible
How long ago did you order? Chances are if your payment went through and you gave the correct address you should still get your goods regardless of whether you were logged in or not.
It's not great that the seller is not communicating, good comms would have already solved this. If things don't pan out please do name and shame, it's the only way others won't get stung. Good luck, hope you get what you paid for.

Was on the weekend buddy. I've messaged at least 5 times and been ignored by them. I messaged them with order number almost straight away so they knew it wasn't a piss taker, been using this site for 2 years with 100+ buys and first time I've done this. I can't see them sending item if they can't even be arsed to reply to me. If nothing by end of.week I'll post on their page
Don't give up hope mate. Chances are it was only sent out yesterday, I've seen a few of these topics and they normally end with the package landing so I hope it's the same for you. If not, follow MightyRux's advice and get Transaxe involved.
How do you see order id number if you wasn't registered while you made a order? Order got cancelled from the Game Changer & now I can't find the order number id
I've messaged the seller about 5 times but no reply, don't look like I'm getting what I paid for and I don't think I can do anything about it to be honest. If nothing comes or no communication I will name and shame the vendor but doubt they care really
Any progress? (6/7)...your coin is still protected by escrow you just can't dispute in the normal way....
Seller replied that the item has run out so the order has been cancelled. Really don't know what to do now. Just glad it was only a 30 quid order
A cancelled order will see your coin returned to you, although you may be asked for a wallet address. That should have happened by now if seller is being genuine.
Contact transaxe via chat on their page and explain. Include the order #. It’s worth doing- you will get your coin back👍

Thanks for the help buddy, I've messaged transaxe. It's a lot of aggro for 30 quid though. Live and learn and only order when signed in, in future me hhinks
Hehe...yeah probably wise!
There are a lot of people who only ever order when logged out, some sort of anonymity thing I don't really understand. It all works fine right up until it doesn't as you've found out.
Hope you get your coin back quick. Vendor was still a knob with the comms, I mean really?!

Always sign in normally, just seen something I fancied and bought it without signing in. The seller did get back to me, after 5/6 messages, so at least I know where I stand with them
Morning, message the vendor to explain so they dont think you are a troll. I've done it before and everything was delivered as normal. Have a good weekend

Fees
Yup I just paid £15 on a £40 order
2 buys on Thursday morning (14 Dec 23) - first send fee was £23! Second one, 30 minutes later, was £16. Definitely stopped me shopping around like I wanted to, waiting for them to drop before buying again. Can anyone recommend a site that shows an average transaction fee in real time? The only ones I know show the day before's average fee.
Click on the little dial icon in the bottom left of the screen when you load the site and it gives you average sat/vB in real time, and you can examine what's in each block too.
Thank you, MR 👍. I've just had a quick look and it's still a little confusing to a noob like myself, but it looks like what I need. Thank you very much, greatly appreciated 👍
No problem mate. This was all new to me until April, and then I quickly realised that learning about it could save me money. Still barely scratching the surface in terms of my knowledge.
Yeah pretty high for me too! It’s a shame in 2023 we still have to put up with this crap!

Stopped ordering on here a week ago. The borgs said litecoin will be an alternative coin LAST YEAR, nothing ever happened. I would imagine LB is loosing out big time.
I see it as a good time for a tolerance break
I see it as a good time for a tolerance break
I've been off it for a week or so now, would have loved some for Christmas, I'm too stubborn to cancel my order so I'll wait it out and hit ten bag Tommy for a day pass
didnt know how to start own topic, but here is my stupid experience with Kraken for laughs. ok I needed to upolad id but lucky they take d license and had jpeg for wrk. i then bought btc when verified 30mns, but missed the info box telling me funds were held 72 hours. they charged me 3.50 for buying the btc to kraken. then tried to withdraw and found out they held it 72hrs. I tried to cancel at my bank but couldnt. I then waited 3 days. i then went to withdraw and saw that there is a further charge of 13.60. I need to buy more btc in order to cover it, another charge. then when i go to withdraw, I need to add a new address, every one I use needs verified by email. but by the time you've got to the email the amount on kraken has changed slightly. So after like 5 tries i finally did it quick enough to have the right receipt amount. so thank fuck thats over. Just got an email saying i must complete a survey by jan 2, or they will shut the account. provides link, go, but no survey. cant find it. so effectively they are going to take the remaining 61p in the account by default. hahaha fucking hell that was awful.
Yea I got stung on £140. £5 purchase fee and then £15.45 to send it. Roll on things settling back down.
Seems to be back up or isit just every weekend??, obviously it’s busy time of year in general but damn this seems to be the new norm
Will be the new norm, a friend was explaining to me how BRC-20 tokens are congesting the blockchain. Since they seem to be the new thing in the crypto world I don't see the congestion reducing for a while. We have the same problem in some way every few years here we need an alternative ASAP. I've had to pay 100s of dollars to move one transaction from here and its been pending for several days, blockchain explorer site reckons I'll need to pay $2111 to get it in the next few hours, not viable at all!
The fees certainly seem to go up the few times I've been 'lucky' enough to see my BTC increase decently in value! I'm all happy, thinking I've made enough for a 'free' eighth, and then lose it all in send fees!
Yes, it's crazy, tried to pay for an order and I have insufficient funds - wants over £30 fees on a £70 order!
Was same for me last week, I’d of fucked it off but it was a BB order and id already messed him about so didn’t want to take the piss any longer as he had sorted me out .
I paid 40 quid on a 200 quid order but had no choice as need carts before weekend but i dont even think the vendor has sent them,totally gutted 😔
It was for £88 something, wanted £121 I was like, naw mate. It's been like this for a while, getting steeper
I’m trying to work out the percentage , it seems people have paid anything from 15% to 37%, I think anywhere between 5-15% is pretty fair but above that is a pisstake
if they changed network to bsc the fees would be 40p for sending btc, need to get them to change it
This morning I went pay for a £100 order, fully expecting to pay a hefty whack but Xmas and all that so I was going to swallow it but the price jumped to £191. Jesus suffering fuck. Halfed the order, still paid a fortune.Really can't afford this, who can? Something needs to change. I wish I had an answer.
I dropped my fees to around the $2:50 mark, 24 hrs later and my order still isn't confirmed. What a pile of pish.

Sending BTC direct from KYC crypto account
Merry Christmas biggaz!
With the fees on the way down I was hoping to put in a long overdue order.
The BTC is currently sitting in my KYC registered account (coinbase) and I usually transfer to an anonymous coinbase wallet and then to transaxe. With the high fees it’s far more tempting to transfer direct to transaxe as it can often save 15-20 pound per order. How risky is this? And what’s the potential outcome if it goes south.
Any advice appreciated

Weidly for me That's whats happned to me today , Coinbase restricted my account then said it was closing it , gave some basic instructions on how to remove remaining funds...
i've never used an external wallett.. been ok for years sending direct,
I suspected it was more to do with spending more then i usually do but who knows.
Just signed up to Kraken trying to get my head around how to send funds to here , its a lil odd coming from coinbase terminoloy is all slighty different like it say's withdraw instead of send , withdraw to me is like sending funds back to bank, and wants you to save your bitcoin address's Which i guess makes sense if your sending to your own external wallett first.
Any sugguestions on what external bitcoin wallet is best to sign up with at the moment ?
Having to wait 72 hours to be able to send is normal right (account only made today )?

Quoting Grandmaster Flash "Don't Do It"
Have learned the hard way, just had my account closed by an FCA approved exchange.
I have a thread elsewhere on LB which I'll update soon.
Yet again the best advice is to listen to the old timers, it tends to pay to be paranoid in being a bigga.
And I am guilty of hubris here as I am an IT guy here.
If you send from an FCA regulated exchange they will eventually review, flag and question specific transactions.
An intermediate hardware wallet before sending has turned into a survival skill.
Before that I was on an exchange which was not FCA approved and my bank ended up blocking the transactions.

Thanks for the advice TWDuke. I just put a final order through yesterday with a direct send but yeah don’t think I’ll be doing it again as it’s not worth the risk.
When you say hardware wallet is my coinbase wallet app considered as one, it’s separate from the coinbase app and doesn’t require personal details or could you provide me with some examples?
Also what prevents the exchange flagging sends to hardware wallets in the same way and question what the funds were for and where they went etc
Thanks

Hi S12345
I now use Atomic Wallet as advised by one of the biggas here.
There are other wallets which have been recommended in this thread.
A hardware wallet is exactly what it says on the can: your bitcoins are stored inside your wallet but not online.
You'll probably be alright sending directly from coinbase up until the point when they will ask you what the transactions were for.
They will be able to trace which site you've sent the BTCs to even if they cannot tell what the transaction paid for.

Can anyone advise me please on a similar question is it ok to send from new Kraken account straight to transaxe . i use paybis atm but there expensive. Merry Christmas 🙂
99.9% you will be OK mate.
I have transferred straight from Coinbase exchange for over a year.
It doesn't seem to attract the same attention if you transfer funds directly from your bank account rather than buy on coinbase with debit card.
I have done over 50 straight from exchange transfers to transaxe wallet and not a single issue from coinbase side ever. Not an email, not a warning nothing.
At 1 point coinbase was nuking alot of accounts but i can attest first hand that it isn't happening to me.
Either transaxe has a better tumbler or exchanges have loosened their grip on wanting to know where the coin is going.
I suppose the new promise of sharing data in the future hy 2026 might be the reason if the latter assessment is correct..

And for balance...I used Coinbase to buy BTC and send firect to Transaxe for a couple of years but in September they froze my account with £400 of BTC in there and I'm still waiting for them to unblock it and then I'll transfer anything in there direct to my Exodus wallet. Dealing with their customer service is useless as they now want to know what I wanted to use Coinbase for in the future. They didn't particularly like it when I answered that I will not be using them and will cash out any money when they eventually decide to allow me access to my money.
I honestly would not ever recommend them as they seem quite random on who they question about their account.

{Economics}

the growing divide between rich and poor, the loss of jobs to immigrants and robots, youth unemployment, nearly every economic problem is caused by a lack of value producing skills.
but why? nearly everything you could do in this world can be learned for free with this little invention called the world wide web. i think you have heard of it even if you don't have an expensive computer.
a p.o.s. android phone and free wifi has you in many of the finest classrooms on earth, you don't need a wing named after your grandfather anymore.
if you don't have the patience for this there is a youtube video for 21st century dummies on nearly every lesson on earth, pause, rewind, learn at your own pace for free.
yeah sorry, the assembly line that paid for 3 weeks off isn't hiring anymore, neither is the lord's farm or those stone hauling gigs down in egypt. things have changed - for the better.

Acquiring knowledge is different to acquiring skills.
You're not going to learn how to deal with patients, or good bedside manner, if you're a nurse, from a YouTube video.
Nor dealing with livestock if you're a farmer. These things come with time on the job.
I do agree though that your average degree, certainly in humanities, can be done from your sofa.
The Internet is a wonderful thing. I think sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have this amount of knowledge at our fingertips.
Just my 2p.
Cheers BB

Anyone can acquire the skills that they want, it just depends upon how dedicated they are. I mean there's a shit ton of skills that i want to master and learn, but usually i'm busy with other things. The internet is a wonderful thing. But also, it takes a lot of time to learn certain skills and most people like my self are quite lazy and can't be asked to learn new things, unless they really want to.
Try to think from the perspective of a business owner. Sifting through resumes. Bachelor's. honours. Doctorates. Oh no. This mad lad has googled it. Hire him now
True but I'm not sure about "anymore". It's always been possible for motivated people to acquire skills, it's easier now but I don't think that is going to change the dynamic. People are afraid and or lazy when it comes to pursuing things that aren't right up in their face.
Actually all of our problems are due to over population. One person can do more work now due to technology. Also humans keep on devaluing themselves by constantly breeding. It’s the law of supply and demand. The fewer of us there are the more valuable we are to employers. When we breed out of control then employers can pick whoever they want. That’s my opinion;)

Don’t question increasing stratification of haves and have nots, just pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

I get what your saying but the person carrying out the skilled job more often than not needs proper training and certification if not just for the client but more importantly for insurance purposes!
Insurance would work a lot better if there were public records of outcomes on a blockchain rather than a certification authority that inevitably becomes a racket.
This is true from the perspective of individuals, but what about societies. Societies like governments take most f our resources under the auspices of producing better outcomes.
If society says yeah anyone can do anything if they play the game right that's a fail. It should be a matter of course that an honest and motivated person is going to do well but that's not what we have. The only sure thing in our society is access to power.

Hash in exchange for ASMR skinning up
Hello :) Bit of a weird one.. 😬 yikes.. and long. Sorry ..
I've have 4 grams of Eddys hashbar gator breath, and 2 grams of his tropicana cherry bubble hash going begging. Will exchange it for this odd request..
Watching ASMR videos on YouTube is one of the only things that helps my brain calm down and relax, and I can only sleep after watching, or listening to a load of them. Having recently been around a bit of a stoner for the first time in a lot of year's, I was reminded of how much I used to love watching someone skin up. It's SUCH a beautiful thing, and I realised the reason I loved it so much was that it's actually a really nice sensory experience- ie - first class asmr. I love every bit of the process from taking the goodies out of the little pouch or box they're kept in and unwrapping them, the sound and visual of the rizlas leaving the packet, the scrunchy wiggle of tobacco from the cigarette into the rizzla..fingers rubbing together.. the smooth, ultra satisfying roll.. taking time to make it perfect, smoothing it out..the whole thing really- specially if it's all done with a certain level of skill and dexterity, it's just a joy to behold, and very '🤤🤤🤤' inducing..
Each time I watched this being done recently, just before sleepy time, it relaxed me so much I was asleep within two hours which never happens, it worked better than any of my favourite asmr artists videos.
Is there any bigga out there who understands the artistry.. the sensory treat that is rolling a beautiful joint, and why someone might find it incredibly comforting and relaxing?
I bought the aforementioned hash as a Christmas present that is no longer required. It hasn't been posted yet and I can ask if it can be sent to someone else ( but i can't seem to message Eddy at the moment, when i go to his page and go to 'chat', it just freezes. Anyway, someone who would be up for making and uploading somewhere, a video for me. I was thinking maybe one of you guys who were talking about making video reviews..( how do you get to see those by the way?). I only need to see your hands and the necessary paraphernalia, and then just take it reeaaaally slowly and exaggerate the sounds and, well, everything really. I love the metal weed grinder things, they sound and look great, lovely for tapping and crunching, but I also luuuurrrve watching hash being burned and crumbled.. 🤤
I have a few specifications, like doing it in the- three small rizlas, two horizontal one vertical , type configuration - and tear the middle bit off slowly, stuff like that, nothing weird. No need to do the whispery talky stuff, but a bonus if you would.
I had a look and there very few asmr 'rolling a joint', vids on YouTube, none of them hit the spot, and I'd like to be able to tell someone exactly what I'd like.
I know it's kind of a weird ask, but 6g of really nice hash, plus the fees and postage has got to be worth sticking your phone on a surface and recording, while you do something that you were going to do anyway..
Thank you for reading all of this if you've got to the end. I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas ❄️❄️❄️🥂🌟

Thank you Polly, you are kind. I bought it for this guy earlier today after loads of indecision, and a few hours later the relationship type thing ended, mainly because i freaked out about buying him the hash in the first place 😰..the irony.. and I've got this hash and wanted it to go to a good home, preferably to someone who might be struggling to get their Christmas stash after the wallet beating of Christmas...and thought why not ask for this in return, because i really, really had developed a thing for watching the Skinning up and there are no decent YouTube vids of this.
I think only one person kind of got it and then he said it was the low of his LB career to have responded and then deleted it altogether..
I'll just ask some biggas that I think could really do with it and not worry about the video

This is SO good! You're an artist.. Have you done anything like it before?
So I was going to write a list of everything that literally made me groan, but it really would have ended up being most of it. But anyway.. firstly, I LOVE the setting, the composition was spot on and you filled the frame perfectly..
the beautiful slate board/tile, I can just imagine how cool to the touch that feels, and smooth and ridgy at the same time, and oh my goodness 😂.. the 'please do not read this', absolutely bloody excellent, and the slate tile was placed perfectly underneath it. You really get composition..
A few things that really hit the spot..
Unscrewing and removing the lid from the weed jar,🤤🤤 ( by the way, don't you have lovely little containers to keep everything in!)... sparking that lovely red, mat, metallic clipper - WHAT a sound... removing the rizzlas from the packet..! Honestly I couldn't imagine it sounding and looking so lush.. the sound of the hash breaking as you first starting crumbling it in, and I mean I will end up listing most of it so I'll stop. Oh, I loved the little- I'll be back in a sec- finger poke. Rubbing the hash between your fingers... I mean.. just 👌
Grinding the weed.. and GOOD GOD! Is that seriously how much gear you guys put in your spliffs??! I would be up A&E getting my STOMACH PUMPED if I'd smoked half of that! You guys must be minted! You must be what Polly would term, a 'machine', 😂
So what I meant with the rizzla configuration.. you'll know it - so you get a small rizzla- horizontal, then another also horizontal, and put it underneath the first. Lick the sticky on the one behind and stick along the crease at the back of the first one. You're left with a flap of paper at the front that is the bottom half of the front rizzla ( I think.. my brain really bad at detaling in this way, I'd have to actually do it). Then take another rizzla- vertical- and stick it as usual like a backwards L. Slowly tear off the flap in the middle. You know it, right. I find this the most satisfying, and facilitating of scrunchy rolling sound.
So I really, REALLY don't want to sound in any way critical, but if you did one day, feel inclined to make another 😜, these are a few things I think you could add..
Make more of those wonderful metal tins. Tap them lots, place them down hard on that delicious piece of slate, that would make SUCH a good sound...make more of a thing of removing the pokey from the clipper..Tap the clipper on the slate, almost vertically at the base..and light your little work of art at the end. That burning sound..the GLOW! Maybe have a toke and blow out a nice rich cloud.
That's it! Nothing else, maybe rub your fingers together a bit more, but you made a sterling piece of asmr. Thank you so much, I can't wait for sleepy time!
I wanted to like 👍 and comment but refrained for motives of anonymity :)

😁 so pleased you enjoyed it 😁😁
It was all very spur of of the moment but I have recorded the odd vape video in the past
Thank you for the feedback ☺️ and suggestions, it can be quite daunting to do so as a you can never be sure how the other party will take it. 🤔
I was gonna make a poor taste joke about whipping my dog to remove my frustrations but that would be mean
Side note the cats limp is nothing to do with me... 👀
I ummed and ahhed about lighting it but that I felt made it more likely to be flagged or restricted on YouTube
I don't typically smoke anymore but I might light that tomorrow night if not it's going into the vapes 😁
Anyhow.glad it it the spot 🙌

Oh my gosh dead rabbit!!! I have to figure out how to watch it, but I am so, so chuffed that you have been so kind as to have taken the time to do this.
The hash is spoken for now though.. 😬, well it's going to one of two, very deserving souls, but the point is I can't offer you that particular hash right now, but I will get something sent to you OK. Won't be as much I'm afraid, but oh my goodness, thank you, thank you, I can't wait to watch it! And Ethically living has already said it brought the tingles, so you must have done a good job.
Thank you so much lovely person. 179 heaven/karma points to you 💥💥💥👾👾👾👾👾👾🩷🩷🩷

Hehehe the video wasn't for the hash more for the request for some reason my brain went
I can do that... Probably
I'm trying to find an alternate hoster I can post it to now not sure I can get one to embed here it might be a link

Sounds like fun, lemme get rolling n recording, been a while since i’ve 3 rizla’d a joint and i’ve got some lovely strains in atm
Maybe i’ve found my new calling in life 😂🤔

It was actually quite fun, just taking it slow and being mindful of every part of the roll. Feel like i’m so used to rolling these days that it’s second nature and i don’t think about it all. Was nice to go through all the motions and take care with it.
And giving my adhd brain something to concentrate on when the insomnia kicked in at 4 this morn was a bonus too 😊
I’ll start a new series: joints with jsa… maybe that could be my new job 😂 🤔

😄 I'm not after someone to skin up for me, I don't actually get on too well with cannabis, and don't smoke it, just a bit of rso. I just want to find this hash a home, I was going to just give it away, but thought I'd ask for an asmr skinning up video
Yes!! A fellow asmr person!
And you said dead rabbits video was a good one too :) I can't wait to watch it.
Happy Christmas gorgeous girl. Tingles all the way 🌬🤍🤍🤍🌟

I'd love to know who your favourite artists are, and your favourite videos - specially the ones you've found most effective at getting you off to sleep :)
My fave types are hair playing videos and true crime ASMR. Some of my faves are The Healing Room ASMR, ASMR Glow, Gibi ASMR, True Crime Time ASMR and Soft ASMR :)
Ummm, I could probably do this. I have the required skills... That hash is lovely, and both are excellent choices; you should have them sent to yourself to mimic the rolling. Probably best not to match the amount put in if I do do this though as you may have to put the joint down for a rest a lot.
Ah, Rux.. I would have loved a Rux asmr skinning up vid! I bet you would do a stellar job of that. The Hash is spoken for though, and you certainly won't be 'sans Christmas stash', ! haha.
I did think about sending the hash here and making a video myself- I do roll a beautiful joint if I do say so myself- and I literally have to stop myself dribbling while I do it.. I skinned up for someone else properly for the first time in a long time recently - save a few tiny one skins a while back- and was delighted to find it'slike riding a bike :) all still there.. but asmr of myself rolling a joint would do absolutely nothing for me. Also I didn't want to open the package and mess up the stealth before sending it to its forever home..
Thank you for your response Rux. Have a great Christmas 🤍🤍🤍❄️❄️❄️❄️🧚♂️

Oooh la la! What must Mrs Apex think?! 😉😂
I like it when you mention Mrs Apex, it reminds me of Columbo, haha. Is she the girl black cat with big eyelashes in the cartoons, that walks under white paint and gets a stripe? 😂 absolutely bloody hilarious that cat/skunk carry on, haha
I hope you enjoyed your five squares of choco! 💥👾

Don't confuse AMSR with BDSM totally different and really embarrassing when you turn up in your BDSM gear at a AMSR event 👀😁
I mean it kind of is, but not. More like.. gratifying of the senses..It certainly makes me groan though, haha, but the only 'getting off', that happens is getting off to sleep. If it's good 😉🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂💥
Totally get it, if I can I'll get a video to you soon might be just before Christmas, this might be a huge niche that we can get into if only we could monetize it.
Thank you so much JimmyMac :) Really so kind of you to offer a video! But the hash has found a home now..
It means so much to me for you to say you "totally get it". Prime example of why I should stay away from cannabis, and why I have no use for the hash myself - I took a tiny dot too much rso last night, and I was thinking such bad stuff, that everyone thought I was a total cringey weirdo. I thought, oh my god asmr is SUCH a nichey thing, of course people aren't going to get it, I bet everyone things I was requesting some kind of weird sex thing in return for hash..😬, thought everyone was mocking me, even Pollys lovely comment, I thought was sarcasm for a while.. cannabis just doesn't agree with me. But anyway, you saying you totally get it has made such a difference, even though I hate that I obviously need external validation..
Thank you, thank you. Have a wonderful Christmas ✨️🤍🤍🤍✨️🐙

Ah, angel girl 🤗✨️, I totally know that, that's why i said i thought it "for a while". It's just what a touch too much rso does to me. But even while I was in the paranoia zone, my ( massively compromised), rational mind was telling me " seriously man? You know Polly wouldn't be shitty like that! ', haha.
Sarcasm wouldn't fit you. Well, mean sarcasm anyway, I don't actually concur with sarcasm being the lowest form of wit, unless it's mean. You are rare mix of fair and kind, but edgy 😉.. a safe space but wouldn't want to f*** with you, haha.
It was such a lovely comment you left, and I thought of it a few times today, and it gave me a little 'ready- brek man', glow 🫠🩷

If you don't know this YouTuber I can highly recommend even if you have no interest in wood turning
Haven't watched that particular one yet but he's got a format he follows and it's super relaxing

There’s a YouTube where a watchmaker strips down a rebuilds a broken Rolex that has been found buried in the ground for years. There must be a hundred or more tiny components. I was mesmerised!..I actually got annoyed when they sped parts of it up!🥹😂
People that 'totally get it', usually do amazing jobs of it. Maybe you could make a little video anyway...you might really enjoy it..if you did I would so love to see it.
I definitely see the scope for the 'huge niche', you mention..

Ok no promises because I am easily distracted by stuff
But technically I have all the gear to do that
You will need a YouTube verified account to watch it as it will have to be age restricted or it will be taken down
Explain the rizla thing more please is it __ __ l as the shape you want?

Loss of weight with carts
Weed in general makes me lose weight even with the munchies. I lost 8 stone in 8 months 😱

Loss of weight with carts
I've smoked for 20+ years on and off. 8 months ago I started first time carts and use them daily since. Since then I've lost 15kg without a serious change on my diet.
Thanks
Thanks
Hey Aleysus,
15kg weight loss is very impressive and I hope you’re feeling better for it!
I am by no means an expert but i have quite a lot of experience with nutrition and health and weight loss so i’ll just give you my thoughts on what i think the weight loss could be caused by. sorry this may be quite a long post as well.
If we break down the weight loss over the 8 months, you’ve lost around 2kg a month which equates to roughly 1lb a week. This is a 500 calorie deficit under your maintenance calories per day for the 8 months (3500 calorie deficit under your maintenance = roughly 1lb of fat). So if you’re in a 3500 calorie deficit over the week you’d lose around 1lb per week. This may well be the case if you’ve swapped out sugary drinks for diet drinks, or increased your exercise, or cut out a few snacks, or maybe a combo of all, you could quite easily put yourself in a calorie deficit without realising. It could also be a case of losing water weight which can fluctuate depending on what you eat and if you’re eating more or a case of losing muscle if you’re someone who would gym regularly and then stopped, you’ll start losing your muscle you’ve gained and therefore also lose weight.
Unexpected weight loss could also be caused by a number of other factors outside of your diet. for example, in times of stress, like losing a job, loss of a loved, the ending of a relationship, those kind of things can have an impact on your mental health which can cause weight loss. it could also be a digestive issue, such as ibs or maybe a new gluten intolerance which has caused coeliac disease, that would also cause weight loss. also if you had started a new course of medication, this can impact your weight too, so that’s something to factor in as well. other health conditions to maybe research would an overactive thyroid - which controls your metabolism so when it’s overactive your metabolism increases and you’ll lose weight eating the same number of calories as before. type 2 diabetes is also something would cause weight loss. and i don’t mean to scare you at all with this, unexpected weight loss is also a symptom of cancer but this is ofc in rare circumstances but something to be aware of.
I guess the big thing would be to monitor your energy levels, and maybe try counting your calories if you are concerned about the weight loss and maybe a trip to the gp to have a chat about it and get a more expert opinion on the matter. Also, sudden weight loss due to any serious health condition generally happens in people over 60 or 65 i can’t remember exactly which one it is, so age is also a factor to think about in this too.
Sorry for the long response and i apologise if i’ve worried you at all, that’s not my intentions whatsoever, just trying to give as much info as i can. But if you’re feeling good and healthy, there’s probably nothing at all to worry about and i congratulate you on your weight loss 😊
Also if you’d like any more info or would like a chat about anything in more depth feel free to send me a message and i’ll be happy to try help.

Sounds like you need to help apex become hulk apex matey 🤜
My weight / health kick experience is limited.
Got a peloton end of sept and gone from 31% body fat to 18% average don’t change much just cut adding sugar to tea and coffees🤷♂️
Lost a couple of kg and apparently gained muscle but look like a skinny apex still 😭

That’s a great transformation mate, well done! And usually the end of the year around christmas is when the body fat shoots up so you’re smashing
it.
Do you do any resistance training? Either with weights or body weight exercises like push ups, pull ups etc. If not it would definitely help with body composition and filling out your frame as you get stronger and your muscles grow.
If you do want any advice or anything about it feel free to message me and i’d be happy to help 😊

15 kilos!!….shitty death!…I need to start spanking the carts!😳👍
But you are saying it’s not because they are reducing your appetite and that you are eating the same? You say “without serious change”…so you have changed your diet to some extent then yeah?…
I would honestly expect it to go the other way as THC generally pushes the munchies and a lot of people put on weight with regular use. Did your smoking give you munchies but carts don’t?
I don’t think carts can be the cause of your weight loss🤔

Carts definitely helped me to reduce my appetite and fast for longer but I don't eat less if that makes sense.
I wanted to ask here before research but that's my case
Thanks

Click where it says "0 for sale" beside settings etc then you can create the listing there.
2 for 1 is a good promo deal to get the Biggaz reviewing.
I can help you out with more instructions free of charge if needed.

Hello, thank you so much for your lovely message. I had them listed for about a week and wasn't getting noticed or on the wall so I sold them to friends offline. Now that people are interested I will get cooking a brand new batch and get them listed this week :) Thank you so much. Love Suga Mama!
They're around 35mg full spectrum each. Which the average user should find not too strong but just right :D
Thank you so much for your message! They were listed but I took them down as I wasn't getting any interest. I'm going to make a new batch this week and get them listed asap :) Love Suga Mama!
Hello lovely, yes they will be back online again by the end of the week, I have to make a new batch. Love Suga Mama!
Hello my lovely's! Thank you so much for al the interest in these I am so thrilled to be able to make them for you and for all the wonderful messages. I'll be baking a fresh batch of 24 this week and will have them listed at the weekend to ship out on Monday safely and securely. I'm just a newbie here so this will be a trial run and hopefully become a regular thing :D Love Suga Mama x
Thank you so much! I had them listed but didn't sell any, i'm going to make a new batch this week and get them on asap so hopefully you'll get to try them. Love Suga Mama!
Thank you lovely! I promise they are as delicious as they look :D They will be going live this Sunday 3/11/23
There will just be a small batch but hopefully I'll have enough for everyone and this will be a regular thing. Love Suga Mama
There will just be a small batch but hopefully I'll have enough for everyone and this will be a regular thing. Love Suga Mama
Aw wow they look better than aundreas cake shop!! And ima fan of that place. Gona have to try
Yep I'll be up for trying these, look lovely. Be sure to make another thread like this when you have them ready
Thank you lovely! Ok I will do that. Still trying to figure this place out. I'll write in this post and create a new one so hopefully people see it. See you Sunday. Love Suga Mama

RM 1st class delivery times
Heya, I wanted to check what people’s wait times are like with RM. I usually only use vendors with special delivery but took a chance on a vendor that uses 1st class. It was posted on the 27/11 and it’s now 6/12 and still hasn’t arrived. Is anyone else waiting for non tracked items over a week later?
Update: 7/12 I decided to go down to my delivery office to see if they were hoarding 1st/2nd class post and they were. Managed to collect it with no issue. So if you’re having a delay see if you can go, I just turned up with my ID.
I had a weeks worth of parcels/packets dropped off at about 1800 on Saturday night (09/12/23), agency guy just knocked on the door and walked off so seemingly for us, "normal" mail is being delivered once a week and signed for/tracked is being delivered as it should be.
Very much depends on your area- bit of a postcode lottery if you’ll excuse the pun. The LB algorithm believes a UK package that hasn’t arrived after 9 days probably isn’t going to which is why the dispute tab appears at that point. If you dispute and it subsequently arrives you simply cancel the dispute 👍
Both my packages from bulldog took 2 days first class. Actually still waiting for a special that was posted on the same day
It entirely depends on how efficient the vendor's local distribution centre is, and how efficient your local one is. My local one is usually super efficient, so depending on where the vendors are shipping from 1st Class can take 1-6 days for me, but usually 1-3 days. I'd start to be concerned if it was longer than this.
I had one ordered monday night and it arrived this morning, really depends on location to vendor and quality of your post office.

Anybody else getting shafted by pistach? Was a long time reg customer and theyve shafted me,barely reply and when they do they might aswell not because its never useful
Make sure you leave reviews stating your experience, unless people leave honest reviews, it'll keep happening.
I placed an order 6am yesterday and it’s only just been shipped. I love his shake but he always ships it late. I just got a sent notification so hopefully it’s shipped now.
Ordered 42g high grade, got 40g of low, low grade bush - been waiting 3 weeks for the reship to arrive but nothing yet - had a message over the weekend saying it was sent last week though but other orders have arrived since then. Don't know why he destroyed his own rep it's a bit sad
yes. paid for next day delivery last wednesday. not arrived today still. pistach wont awnser messages asking to check tracking.
im a new member,, my 1st order on the site was a week previously from same seller and went fine. arrived in 24hr no problem. no idea why this ones went wanders.. glad im not alone.

They usually take days to respond, if not longer. Many people have complained about it before; unfortunately, I didn't take heed and have been waiting since Wednesday for a package. Hopefully, whatever your order is, it'll be sorted soon.
If it’s been 2 weeks, I believe you’ll be able to dispute now. Unfortunately, he's just been on Messenger, but as usual, the messages are still marked as unread.

As another Bigga has pointed out yours is a bit pricey considering you can get 40g of really good shake for about £90 here I’d say it would have to be amazing quality to be viable.
Good luck 👍🏼

Help a new bigga out and spread some love for your faves. Let me know which seller and why you love them.

Loads!! For nice, loved home grows I've used Druids Magic and Oilman.
Hash, I've gone with Pistach, The Green Team, BudboyzUK, Greentech and BubblehashKing.
Flower I've gone with the above plus Super Hans, UrbanLeafco and The Gentleman Dealers,
Edibles I've used Dope Chef and DoctorExtracts.
All of the above use great stealth and good delivery times. Some have NDD if ordered before their cut off times.

Your sweets are power!! Had 4 and was stuck to the sofa an hour later. My mate had 1 and he was mashed for 2 days 🤣
Thank you :) I'm thinking I definitely need to grab something from Druids Magic before they go out of stock!!
DM's flower is great! I've placed another order today. Yes, get in there before they go!!
Another vote for druids here, they care for the product, provide the best service I've ever had on this site (I've tried a good few vendors), really good value for money and the product is great as well.
Dr Distillate
Banging concentrates at great prices, don't know how he does it. Looking forward to trying his carts at some point.

Always been next day for me although tracked 24 isn't actually guaranteed next day. I still think they're great sellers, they will reship if it doesn't arrive.
Except when The Gentleman Dealer s ends it. He actually has the kindness to issue the tracker number and it ALWAYS arrives on time. Don't know what the deal is the others who hold back the tracker, there's always an issue and it hardly ever arrives on time.
I think GreenTech have disappeared recently.......only tried once, was a disaster...sorted the refund pretty quick though in fairness
I’m relatively new to LB, I’ve had 99% good bud and service. My go to vendors are -
GreenTech
Urban Leaf Co
But I have had great service/bud and comms from
DankYou2021
BudBoyzUK
The Gentleman Dealers
The Green Team
I have lots still to try too, loads of reputable vendors listed above I haven’t tried yet.
I very much look forward to trying
Super Hans
Pistach
Druids Magic
British Bulldog
LUD
I’ve also had a bad experience with another vendor, I can only advise you really check the vendors page and all reviews and topics on any vendor before buying. Research pays off.
The overall experience on LB though has been amazing, I just wish I found this site sooner.

My twopenneth worth on vendors
Pistach - Can't go wrong. From the budget weed to pricey Cali I can't fault the quality. The trim is excellent as a baccy substitute and, I think, works out cheaper than fags for joints
DIUK - As above they are 1 of a handful of go to vendors. Always arrives in 2- 3 days and something for all budgets. Also, Uncle Benz (one of their growers) knows his shit!
Hasishin - Hash from the middle east delivered in about a week to the UK? Yes please! Amazing stealth and nice, old school, hash
Dr Extracts - Honourable mention as I've just started using him for edibles (after RB ran out of Chuckles after 2 years of buying off them) and the cola bottle things are fiendishly strong!
BB - Get on his customer list (you must be an established buyer) and you won't regret it
SuperHans - If you want to treat yourself buy whatever the strongest bag of sinister minister is at the time from SH.Not the cheapest but top drawer quality
Newish vendors I've used and liked include Greencat, Greeney & Mercedes. There are probably more but I've started off Sunday as I mean to go on so I've forgotten them....

Despite the negative press sometimes there’s actually a depth of good vendors on here, British Bulldog has been mentioned and if he’s got listings up I’d recommend you don’t wait and go for it because you won’t regret it. LUD is superb and typically offers great value for money and really good bud too, he’s always seen me right. Super Hans and Urbanleafco are at the more pricey range but offer great bud too. In terms of the biggest vendors in here I like Drugs Inc who have always looked after me and usually have a good selection. All mentioned have superb stealth too, feel a bit guilty not mentioning others but it’s becoming to long haha!
Eddy all the way!!! the man has an mental menu and the quality is just just as crazy <3 I cant get enough

Pistach all day long for me. Ive not used everybody admiteddly, and I only smoke hashish. But the hash is great and the prices are right! 😍
I want to add British bulldog and budbotanists onto your future lists and smoggy for current
But for me 90% of what I'm currently vaping is druids 🐰💗🧙♂️
I haven't used everyone on DG's list but agreed with all the ones I have used on there

That's right yeah, the shake is lovely this time btw, mostly because I'm too lazy to trim the smaller buds, haha.
Listing should be up Saturday afternoon.
Thanks again DR, you're a goodun.
Cheers BB 😊👍

I'm sure I saw you posting some monster colas in your cab the other day right? No banana for scale lol but looked like you know what you're doing for sure.
Started off with RealD, absolutely loved his stock, his customer service was unbeatable. I hope he comes back soon.
Pistach was next, never a bad experience and they resolve any issues flawlessly. Preem shake too, almost always a good amount of bud.
mrbean is one I loved, deeply missing his unbeatable shake prices now as my wallet dries up with inflation. Hopefully he'll return too.
DrExtracts is my go to for Carts, might not be the cheapest but quality is unbeatable, plus the customer service is so good. The rare treat from here.
But, after mrbean (and those technicolor prices) seemingly peeled off, Pistach has become my sole supplier at $65 an oz of shake (of which I try to buy 4). I did try out another vendor but the quality was subpar for more expense.

Riley packs and strainsburys for the best budget smoke there shake is banging, Dr extracts for carts (his prices are half that of most vendors) on vapes, eddy for edibles
Pistach for service, quality and value. Top end Cali too budget trim.
Hashishin for stealth, service and that something a little special.
Dr Extracts carts for high quality product and excellent service.

I am also quite new and have done a few buys now.
Riley_Packs: Great delivery, quality of bud is amazing, comms are pleasant and helpful, good prices.
PISTASCH: Great delivery, quality of bud is also amazing, comms are nice, some things can be pricey depending on strain but for Stardawg as an example it is perfectly grown for a great price.
CanadianImports: Bought Deathbubba from these guys, was a heavy smoke and nice. Delivery on point like the others.
Last two I tried were THEGREENTEAM and It'sWeed. THEGREENTEAM I got some Triangle OG which was okay, not really for me. I like my hard hitting indicas for sleep, anxiety and giggles. Would give them another go when I see a strain that fits that profile.
It'sWeed I only bought hash and it was pleasant and quite strong which was what I was looking for. Good comms and packaging as well, in fact for all of them I have mentioned.
Would like to try GreenTech and British Bulldog but I need a few more buys to meet the requirements.
Would also like to try Eddy's Edibles Lean at some point but still thinking about it, I haven't ventured into drinkable THC before and have only been accustomed to the joints and bong.

You wont be disappointed GRB they are great . Edibles are a different experience tho if you have never tried them start small, as I found out a few weeks ago drinking the full bottle in 1 is not cool or clever😂😂🤤😮💨
I've had 2 different experiences with edibles. First time was making brownies with 5g of weed in Cyprus, did the double boiling method and 2 1/2 pieces made me sky high with laughter for a day and a half.
Other time was with 200mg sweet bag which got me kind of stoned but not really wacked out.
I'd be down to try out your lean, prices look amazingly cheap so i'm down to try. Do I need to consume within a certain amount of days after opening or can I use this for my saturdays over a couple of weeks?

I've never really had edibles til a month or so back when I found eddys edibles... now I'm smoking shatter 🤣🤣🤣 the lean is really strong and the taste is exactly what you ask for ( its strong enough to have in 3 drinks)
bears and lollies the mrs loves as they mellow her out and help with her depression
Comms are always pleasant and informative and I've found he will try accommodate special orders.. I've had a custom order from him and it was all as expected...

Ordered with Eddy last week after the replies. Hopefully will land sometime next week due to those strikes but i'm patient. Going to be using this instead of classic bud near christmas eve cause I gotta get rid of that weed smell in the shed haha.
Hehe…I wanted to get my house valued but worried that the agent was either going to pass out from the weed smell or run straight to the cops…😳😂
LUD is up there for me at the min always show up decent bud and a great vendor to deal with. Drugsinc always sorted me out again they were excellent to deal with. British bulldog prob best stealth going and some well cared for bud not just pumping shit out to make money. I've used super hans before bit pricey for me but superb items so there's a few.
As a couple of biggaz have said research is key, for example i have ordered from most vendors mentioned in this post with no problems what so ever (100+ orders) any vendors mentioned will do their absolute best for you.
Gotta love the LB community.
Gotta love the LB community.
Green Cat and LUD have been my main gotos for a while now both are incredible and deserve a lot more recognition imo! :) Biggas need to be ready for luds skittles coming back!
RB and Drug Inc from the biggest sellers are both excellent ofcourse, I saw the Forbidden Fruitcake has been mentioned and I 100% recommend every bigga get some of that for the smell alone I haven't smoked my last bud of it because I don't want to lose the smell lol

Have to agreed bro, LUDS, green cat, drugs inc and urban leaf.
Luds always delivers amazing bud at best prices. Green cat been bringing it hard, the pound cake is immense. Drugs inc uncle Benz ice cream is a weekly order.
Urban are quality bud providers next day business. The green gelato is lovely but since then slurricaine and cereal milk smacking it, not like wil smith in a more relaxed way.

LUDs dank skittles in a couple weeks so I've got my lud fund stashed away ready for that! :P I haven't been to ULC for ages definitely need to visit them again soon nice people they are :) Been a while since I had some DI ice cream as well have been enjoying their forbidden fruit so dark purple its almost black lol but still though the icc is something else!
I had been thinking about grabbing some of their cheap bud and some mazar so I can make some combo joints but it's too hard to scroll past all that amazing bud and then buy the scraggly bit at the end lol
hope you're doing well mate :)

Reordered the pound cake and some of the cookie dawg almost chose the animal but will next time. Slurricaine on urban mate, grab some super tasting and great one for after dinner like a purple punch.
Doing as well as you can with 4 kids and a lazy wife :) hope you are good

Wife is not on here bro I am safe speaking the truth :)
4 kids you have to be like a machine every day is like climbing a mountain usually a bastard slippery one. But if you keep going and reach the peak they fall asleep eventually. Then like today the postman may have delivered your reward. Pound cake and Luds guava on one day. I am currently melting into my smoking chair building up the motivation and energy to get the gelato out the freezer that’s reward number 2 :)

Hey super J yes you are rather fond of that ice cream lol
Thank you for the mention brother ;)
Thank you for the mention brother ;)
I’ve been stalking your page awaiting its return:) that batch before Christmas was one of the best from uncle benz. I might also point out you have a lot of good bud, but the ice cream is perfect.
Just been discovering GC products, got some pound cake and zaffa, quick send too, great new vendor
Everyone DG said, budbotanists and the british bulldog(doubly so) are all great.
Not mentioned yet, but Buddies is my fav, because he does free NDD 99% of the time for me and his OG kush is phenomenal

God forgot bulldog but he is like full moon only comes round now and then. Quality clean buds loved his og kush in fact last 3 been really sweet
Not had a less than 100% experience with Pistach so far. Looking forward to checking out others. Have certainly clocked all those mentioned by dwarfedgiant as having great reviews and am keen to try.
The Gentleman Dealers, all day. Every time I venture to another vendor something goes wrong. Or you pay for NDD and it takes, like, 5 days to arrive. But with the Gentleman Dealers you pay for NDD and it ALWAYS arrives in the time frame you have paid for. I don't know if there's a scam going where they charge and make it look like it's NDD, I don't know if that's even possible, but none of the other dealers ever have a NDD that actually comes in time. Or it gets lost, or wasn't sent properly, or something, there's always something. The Gentleman Dealers are the only ones on here that I really trust to do the job properly. Really fed up with all the other dealers and their nonsense. When TGD had their service disrupted it was a nightmare. Forced to buy from seemingly reputable vebdors but no surprises, there was a problem. He's the only one you can really trust 100 percent. So worth it for the peace of mind and lack of anxiety. And he's a really nice person and a delight to communicate with. I promise I'm not a ringer, this has just been my experience over years and multiple purchases on here.
Not been around all that long myself but I've found these two to be great -
Riley_packs - My go to vendor, Really good comms, stealth is great, menu is awesome and changes out, some real nice treats at the moment.
The Pontiff of Piff - Only few orders but always been great, answers any questions, great stealth.
There are so many great vendors here though and very friendly. Plenty I plan on trying one day, always good to see posts like this and people sharing vendors to try.

I only buy hash so my list of choices may be somewhat limited -
Eddy's - crazy menu, topflight tier 1 hashes and good Wednesday/ Sunday promos, best comms imo.
THC23 - can't believe they haven't had a mention so far. Pricey but absolute banging hashes - always exactly as described.
Real D - isolators are lovely and cheap as chips, always fast delivery
Urbanleaf Co - another vendor sourcing superior hashes.

I like indica hash mainly so for me it was Hashishin (who’s taking a break atm I think) but has a new contender with Canna Bros who’s gear is very nice. I tend to support the smaller vendors. I’ve used The Green Team too though and they’re good but rarely do what I’m after.
GreenTeam. Placed an order whilst logged out. They responded straight away, no fuss or hassle. Made up for my fuck up. True Pro's. I also placed my first ever order with them on LB. Highly recommended
I've only ever used The Green Team so this isn't a comparison with anyone. My experience with them after at least 20 orders has always been 100% reliable with Superb stealth, responsive comms and Excellent products. I've had outstanding strains of Hash (Ketama Gold is a fave) and really satisfying weeds (Kosher K and Zkittles are memorable).
The icing on the cake with them is the Regular buyer Bonus which I've enjoyed twice: meaning each 10 buys of 7g weed, I received 7g of weed FREE, with NDD included!. How good is that?! (applies same way for 10 x buys of 3.5g),
They have everything I want so no point going elsewhere, always been a smooth experience with TGT.

Since finding this site I've honestly been like a kid in a sweet shop. Tried out a few vendors and have had great experiences with all of them to be honest. Dr Green Thumb, Pistach, Green Cat and Canadian Imports all stood out
Some vendors can be amazing and also poor. I’ve tried most of the vendors mentioned below in my experience in what I order
Pistach have never let me down and the product quality is amazing
Canadian imports are one of the best for me little bit pricey but you get free NDD signed for which is usual 10-15 bucks so if you late that off the price it’s pritty reasonable
Dr terpy for vape cats amazing product and reasonable price
Pistach have never let me down and the product quality is amazing

I’ve used:
The Green Team - nice bud and fantastic stealth
The Gentlemen Dealers - superb delivery service, including tracking numbers etc and really nice product also
Pistach - great stealth and lovely bud
Urban Leaf Co - again great comms and stealth, nice bud too
All have been great and I have never had a parcel go missing!

Super Hans : best quality bud and very good menu range. Definately my go to for a connoisseur smoke. Stealth is as good as anyone and generally the quickest delivery. Top bloke, too.
Pistach : very good balance of value/quality. Not quite super hans levels of quality, but the best value vendor on here IMO. Some of his shake has worked out as about £5 an eighth. Again, decent stealth and receeptive comms.
The green team : decent stealth, decent products, usually a wide menu.
Urban leaf company : same as green team but with a slightly smaller menu, however they rotate products more often and have some inventive offers. Very good comms too, fast delivery, and stealth is decent.
The gentlwmen dealers : bit pricey, and don’t always have a wide range, but always been decent quality, great stealth and very nice people to deal with.
Ive tried several others, but unless something i really fancied appeared, i wouldnt go outside of these 5.
Stealth weighs big for me, and the above 5 all get it spot on, probably done 40-50 orders between them all.

Commented before but updating slightly, adding Green Cat, excellent service, fast and good product and stealth...
ULC also are great. In fact if I want my weed more or less on an expected delivery time Druids, ULC And GC seem the most reliable timewise.

Drugs inc UK all day long, made 50+ orders by now, never had a single issue with weight, quality or not arriving and everything has been mind-blowing! They are also great to talk with and can answer any questions I have (usually personal recommendations). Can over the weekends be slow to reply but so am I on a sat or sun 🤣
Try the ice cream cake or forbidden fruitcake and you'll see what I mean ;)

I legit have to buy 7g now so I can sample 5-10 strains at once! xD
Just dipping my toes into their hash now too it's absolutely fucking fire!
Just dipping my toes into their hash now too it's absolutely fucking fire!
Only tried the super polm, which is smooth & creamy and gives a nice mild stone, let me know if you find any knock out couch lock hashes...I'm on the hunt for a good strong hash, normally go for tgt banana Kush og but want to try something different
The caramel twix is probably the best hash I've ever had, drugs inc just got it in stock again too I'm gonna get a brick haha
Living in ROI has made getting anything from the UK impossible. So thankfully we have Greenhoney https://littlebiggy.org/link/84W1zS. A god send for us EU folk. Top drawer stealth, great product and a joy to deal with. Highly recommend
I said it before and I'll say it again, I pretty much only buy from drugs inc UK these days, professional, helpful and the products beat literally anything!
If you haven't tried them, I recommend the ice cream cake, forbidden fruitcake and Oreo cookies to whet your whistle!

For me The Green Team for hash or flower, Drugs inc for flower. Had good dealings with Smoggyman. Tried Popeyes recently, good weed at best prices on here that I have seen
Only have a dozen or so orders so far but I'd like to say that my favs are Shroom of the loom and Reald
Simple reason that everything purchased from them has been amazimg quality for a gd price point..and a breeze to deal with in the ol inbox too.
No offence to any other vendors I've ordered from as tbh I have no complaints yet on here luckily 🤞 you were all great. Just as the title suggests it's about your favourites after all 😆👌

Same applies for Dr GreenThumb

The Gentleman Dealers are my all round favourite. Always deliver next day and do some good Oz deals.
HASHLOVER420 - This vendor introduced me to some of the best hash ive smoked over the last 30 years with great customer service, super stealth and good price per point. You have to try!!!
I like pistash for cost/quality, Biscotti is fire at the minute for the price I think.
I used gentlemen dealers a couple of times too and they had decent smoke.

Diamond Extracts
These guys are killing it, only just joined LB but are selling quality distillate at unbelievable prices. Also seem to be able to source other interesting extracts, one to watch.

Pistach - Fast and reliable, most my orders are through them.
Boners UK - Best service I've had by far, Comms are excellent, genuinely nice dude to deal with. Great hash too.
TGT - great selection of decent bud and regularly get new strains in. Postage always takes 3 days but I always select the free option so can't complain and buds worth the wait.
I still relatively new and have a long list of vendors I'm working through but these are the best so far!

Yes. This seems to be happening often now. I’ve had the same problem with a payment still unconfirmed 24 hours later - could be a miserable weekend!
I’m assuming the problem is with LB payment interface rather than with individual vendors but I’m quite clueless re crypto payments. Any advice appreciated

Having the same issue. Hoping this gets sorted soon so that I'm able to restock for the weekend.
I can only remember this happening once to me last year. Took well over 24 hours and messages to support. All good in the end.

ordered friday just gone a half and was marked as sent and no contact or delivery since..4 messages ignored.
vote with your feet mate. I only use 3 vendors on this site that I know have responsive comms and professional service. why risk trying anyone new, certainly why risk using anybody thats fucked you about in the past?
gassed, thehashcollective, dr green thumb - try these guys if you dont want to be let down
gassed, thehashcollective, dr green thumb - try these guys if you dont want to be let down
should have learned your lesson the first time. pistach is super unreliable and regularly doesn't send stuff until you bug them and threaten to dispute. they may be overworked but thats their responsibility to deal with - hire more helpers or cut back on sales.
In waiting on 4 oz apparently sent next day delivery Monday. I've had nothing, hoping it will arrive tomorrow. Is this vendor known for not actually sending items then?
Well I have to say, the items arrived. They weren't sent special delivery which caused confusion but I did get exactly what I ordered regarding product and it all looks good at first glance
Oh yes, and potentially worse for your scenario, they regularly substitute products ordered for something completely different.

Coinbase transaction cancelled?
So , BTC is gripping my shit at the moment, as I can see it is for all.
I'm happy to wait for fees to drop.
The problem I have is whenever I try to by BTC on coinbase it just cancels it on me. So my question is , is this because the network is fucked, or do I have another problem on my hands. Appreciate any advice.
Cheers G

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've used a different BTC provider, and successful landed a sample order. 14/11 cheers G
I used it today without issues and I use it twice a week and have never had that issue!
I was having issues with it last night. Thought my payment had gone through, said it had. Then today realised order not been paid, and money back in my account and now won’t put payment through?! So annoying! Thought my stuff would have been posted today but now got to wait to try and pay for it.
Ok, thanks man. I've got my last phone at home with all my apps and stuff on so I'll give that a go later. So you don't think it's the network?
I never really have issues with CB.
Could be bank related, i bought few days ago without issue.

Coinbase taking more money than they should
I use Coinbase and it’s always been fine for me. Fees are high atm I paid an extra tenner when I ordered today.
Coinbase taking more money than they should
Hi folks any suggestions on a better Bitcoin service provider. I've used Coinbase for years but over the last few months money is going missing on all orders I make here. They say the right amount is been sent but transexe isn't getting the full amount. Any different providers you recommend to use please. Thank you
"Gas fees"... this week the transaction fees shot up. They are now 13/11 looking to be stabilising, but are still pretty high... Always google "BTC transaction fees" and check Bitinfocharts... You should then get an idea on whether you want to buy £1-2 extra on top of the checkout value on LB... or £10 extra! This week was expensive... Try to buy and send when the fees are low. I hope this helps!
Shot up again earlier to over 100sat/vB for the last block before confirmation, when usually 10 would sail through in minutes. What's going on? It's been like this since the start of the month.
I buy then send from there, in both instances fees are quite high, and i'm told how much exactly i'l receive in my wallet i'm sending to once i've bought.
After that i send from my own wallet where i can set fees myself.
on thursday night i made one transaction on here, 4 orders in one, fees, including purchasing fees, fees cost me 40 quid.
I went a little overboard but i didn't know if situation was gonna get better or worsen.
the transaction blasted through in 5 mins or so.
If my transactions ever get stuck, there's a simple way to push them through in an instant. Not all wallets have the feature, RBT it's called or something like that.
You get a chance to repay the fees but higher.

Setting your own fees is a very tricky thing, and fine line, isn't it? When it goes through in minutes you feel almost robbed, and when it takes hours you feel incredibly stupid. I'm still trying to work out that balance, and check Mempool for the current suggested gas fees. How do you actually do that RBT thing as I've had loads of transactions with that as an option, but I haven't been able to work out how to do it? I foolishly thought that clicking on it would give me an easy option to deal with it easily.
get your btc transaction id and look it up, you'll see that your wallet sent to destination address, but also a very small amount of btc back to your own address.
All you have to do is send the exact same amount as that which was sent in the first transaction to your own address but use more fees than you did.
exact same amount of btc, it's always a very small amount like a dollar or something but fees have to be higher.
The miners pick up the tiny transaction back to your own address with the higher fees, and with your original main order attached to that transaction, both go through.

Paybis is user friendly and easy to use as an alternative but atm fees are high everywhere I agree with greencigar about checking the bitinfocharts pain in the arse when you want an order in ASAP but waiting can save for your next purchase 🌝
I got about £30 worth of BTC the other night when fees was high. They charged me over a blues to send it to my wallet. Ended up being a few quid short on my order so chucked another tenner in and it was saying sending fees were £11.40 and I’d be in the minus to send it. It’s still at £9.40 today 3 or 4 days later and I’ve still yet to complete the order🤦🏻
Tell me about it, been waiting since Friday to put an order in. I have just enough for what I want and $2 Blockchain fee which is higher than I usually pay. Got a feeling I'm gonna be waiting a while and I refuse to buy more BTC at the moment.

long term effects you've experienced from cannabis?
Smoking weed helps me stay slim 🤣 I don’t get the munchies, I eat less, when I quit my snacking increases and I gain weight!
long term effects you've experienced from cannabis?
have you been been re-wired? i know i think much more openly than as a padawon and my control group of friends/haters is the opposite.
I have a few side affects
Intolerance to people's BS
An overwhelming desire to do fuck all
A lack of dreams (mine were crushed years ago anyway)
An unexplainable hatred of Ed Sheeran
And I have also found I still have the purile humour of a school boy
Otherwise I'm fine

True but my hatred goes beyond rational, to the point that half of my life is dedicated to plotting various methods of his demise. My favourite would be to not actually kill him but plant some kiddy porn on his PC, ruin him proper, Glitter styley
Long term use has a deleterious effect on my short term memory and cognitive function (although it seems to stabilise a few months in). I can mitigate some of those losses by taking CBD before bed, but it sucks because it also kills your buzz.
Also, not sure this is a side effect or a benefit, but I often have moments of insight and clarity while high. Things I'll bury away, procrastinate over, or stuff that simply exists in my subconscious will come to the fore. In some people that triggers paranoia and anxiety, but for me it's a catalyst to grab a pen and record my inner monologue.
That said, I'm due a huge break (starting March), as I have some writing jobs to do and I need to learn to drive because my mum is chronically ill.
Time to sharpen the old pencil for a few months and then blunt it in the summer.🤩

Sweet I write at least 3x stoned with 10x moments. Yes there are - 3x times as well but they have disappeared with experience. Like my memory :)
Paragraph 2! Spot on. During a paragraph 2 moment, i decided to report my manager to the Regulatory Authority for our industry. Which I then did.
Weight gain. All strains manage to give me the munchies, and my self-control flies out the window. I can plow through a block of Soreen in under five minutes - I shit you not!
Yep I've deffo got the weight gain going on. Currently "trying" to diet 🙃 now wheres them choccy bickies 🤣
I feel you. Think the only buds that never made me ravenous were Durban Poison and Blue Dream
It's the tastiest, lowest-fat snack I've found so far. Four green and one orange on the health traffic lights. I wish I could trade it for Dairy Milk, but that's when the serious poundage appears.
Haha why would anyone lie about that? The 'Honestly' was superfluous.
I know exactly what you mean though 😅
I know exactly what you mean though 😅
The only real negative effect for me is short term memory loss, which the pros massively outweight the cons.
I have Asperger's but smoking weed helps massively, my thoughts tend to race but with weed it slows everything down, I can focus on one thing.
This is huge for me because the racing thoughts leas to anxiety as I'm trying to think of too much too quickly and a lot small, simple problems combine and it feels overwhelming. Not with weed though.
For some reason it seems to "fix" that part of my brain. And it actually allows me to be content with existence.

One long term effect is a better sex life, makes you harder, last longer ,feel more and is definitely an aphrodisiac;)
TLDR: short term memory loss, apathy yet decisiveness, psychological expansion, hope.
Introduced back in the 90s in college, along with other recs 💊 as part of the London clubbing scene.
Lots of commercial hash about at the time which was demotivating in hindsight.
The weed mostly skunk and I remember fondly the laughs had, and epiphanies too.
I was a late teenager and combined with hallucinogens and later spiritual practices had some kind of brain rewiring that was terrifying and awe inspiring.
I’d quit for nearly 20 years before trying again about 4 year ago but that grew and I’ve been consuming and experimenting daily since lockdown. I even grew my own - 3 solo cups of StarDawg, Black Hulk and Easy Bud. Well proud!
I’ve always been sensitive and having a more psychedelic experience wasn’t uncommon. Even on tiny one hitters and I had a year of not only having a tiny tolerance but intense highs that were mostly bringing my subconscious to the surface and tbh all hell broke loose in all areas of my life. Like psychedelics, if you are of the persuasion to be interested in the big questions or have a past that’s traumatic, then it’s going to make you face it and give you the stark reality of the human experience.
I’ve been able to work through it but I fear for the masses who are embarking on their inner journeys unprepared. Not my circus but I have a heart and an understanding that the truths revealed can be devastating to the mind as well as freeing, perhaps providing the liminal space for humans to evolve that’s drowned out by this materialistic and oppressive world.
I love being high. It’s addicting for me. The escape. The creativity and ability to think and pose multi-angled concepts is simply exhilarating and I believe can help solve some of our most challenging problems globally, and locally in our families - my wife hates it but prefers me on it for example. Her hate is ignorance mind.
I’ve realised that for me, daily is more about tolerance, habit and escape. It’s our choice but you have to live with the costs and as someone said, the weeks and years go by and one can be happy with just taking life in… philosophically, I do have issues with this so I’m looking to be more ritualistic and purposeful with it as well as have moments when just to enjoy and experiment.
I’ve been shocked by the tolerance build up which really became noticeable after I found LB 🤣 seems a waste as I found in the last 2 months that the high doesn’t hit as hard or as long and that sucks ‘cause you feel like you’re chasing the buzz but it’s not, it’s the escape for me, but I’m aware of it, and I’m in control.

also started using cannabis again in lockdown after about 20 years.... looking out the windows high AF thinking fuck this shit was true enlightenment lol
Yeah, weed makes me super withdrawn if I let myself smoke all the time, it's ended relationships and has brought my current one to the brink, Im trying therapy and smoking less indica during the day.
Used to get globus sensation from high thc bud but thats gone these days.
Used to get globus sensation from high thc bud but thats gone these days.
“Globus sensation” thanks 🙏🏾
I also get this reaction from time to time and it coincides when I feel the weed is strong.
Also have other strange sensations which my anxiety labels as dangerous so my fight or flight kicks in.
I’ve learned that this is more about past sh*t being brought into the now and these effects of the body are just responses.
The challenge is to ride it out and then I find the experience is smoother ✌🏽

Once you know what’s really in your head it becomes easy. Bud makes you really understand, helps you get deep into your thoughts. It’s like a light bulb moment when you wake. Takes alot of work but we keep on tokin 😁
I have ADHD, without it my brain is like bag of snakes, every direction at once.
Even with it i struggle sometimes but its more like that glowy ball thing Will 'The Slap' Smith releases in Men in Black that caused the 1977 New York blackout.
Theres a squirrel on the balcony gotta go...

Peace. Freedom from 90% of my physical pain. Inflamation reduction & much more. Those are long term, 50 years, it builds up.
Great question.
I'm over 50, in gainful employment, reasonably fit and slim but an unhealthy diet for balance. Vape daily up to 0.4g but usually 0.2g max. Anyhoo, about 2g max a week but I'm using less strong flower just now, with better gear, I'd be using a lot less. Don't drink alcohol at all.
I too find incredible moments of clarity, especially after a hard day.
Vaping means i dehydrate a lot quicker and need to drink more water. I'd say my balance is less than 100% probably due to residual effects if anything. Overall I'm doing ok. The knowledge i have gained over the years and still need is not yet affected by daily use. Possibly a good barometer for things.

After ~15 years of heavy use daily I've got short/long term memory loss but I used to take other drugs so I'm not sure. I've got a neuralogical disability and weed helps keep me out of a wheelchair ect. The desire to be alone is because of choosy beggars not weed. Also I'm a huge man baby, also unrelated (maybe).
As with everything, moderation is key, as a habitual smoker, smoking daily for many years through pipe or bong, minimal use of tobacco, I am unsure whether its caused or calmed my temper.
The mental addiction is apparent whenever I try to detox or take a break i.e, low mood, depressive thoughts, lack of appetite (physical?)
It's all perspective and a lack of dopamine production so I am aware of my low mood when I feel it but can be hard to pull away from without distraction, it comes to pass after a few days, though the mood swings and negativity have already done their damage.
I think I have developed a bit of a dependency on it, the only solution is a long break.
I have a total love/hate relationship with the plant but right now it keeps me calm, very calm.

Long term for me personally it's had negative effects on a huge scale. I am day 4 off weed and feel so happier. I have seen lots same similar. I am dreaming again. Gym and Swimming. Weed really kept and held me back all my life.
Similar to psychedelics, it brings anything I’m avoiding or ignoring to bare. Which can lead to both productive and counterproductive action. Overall I think it helps expand consciousness if you’re willing, appreciate nature and the fact you are part of it. Not something that’s alien and just here by fluke. Sometimes I think it activates something that throws subliminal tests at you. For instance with the munchies, I know not to eat veggie oils, colourants, refined sugar and anything processed/ not organic. But when stoned to the bone that bag of haribo or sitting doing nothing sure does appeal. if I cave and do the above, the next day I’m almost ashamed I let the gremlin win. But if I push through eat some fruit and go climb that mountain, I feel instantly fulfilled. I know this may be abit nonsensical but I’ve been sober this week😂
My short term memory isn’t what is used to be, and my short term memory isn’t that good either.
This is probably an old thread, but it’s been an interesting read. I relate to most of the comments.
I have to say I’m pretty sure my memory has been adversely affected, but it’s almost impossible to say for sure right? There’s loads of factors.
But, the benefits are pretty substantial like. The shift in perspective was huge for me, I think it’s why conspiracy guys are often stoners - there is a sense of enlightenment at times, as wanky as that sounds.
There’s something communal about smoking as well I think, and I think it tends to make people generally more community minded, nature friendly and left leaning. Could just be a correlation or whatever but it’s pretty cool imo.
Support your local lollipop man and save the whales.

Smoking weed helps me stay slim 🤣 I don’t get the munchies, I eat less, when I quit my snacking increases and I gain weight!

What's going on with the NDD?

What's going on with the NDD?
So pistach used to be excellent, but the last few times I've ordered with NDD its taken at least 3 days to get here. I've got friends that are having the same problem. It seems to get sorted out in the end, but why is NDD even being offered (and for double the price it actually costs). Clearly items aren't being sent when they say anymore. I could understand if RM was striking again, but they haven't recently.
Anyone else getting consistent problems with NDD? A lot of reviews starting to say similar things.
It's still usually the best shake for the price, but I'm not a fan of overpaying for something that's not being provided.

I’ve had this problem with special delivery. I’m not saying this is what’s happening here but with other vendors it’s printed off, stacked and sent out on the next post office run, Normally next day. If this happens then next day is becomes 2 days, then because of my rural location it’s an extra day so next day tends to be 3 days for me 😂
Also if you coming up to a bank holiday RM tends to slow the fuck down completely. The bank holiday at the beginning of the month I waited 7 days for NDD because of the RM go slow attitude and a bank holiday

probs back log. cant exactly bang 100 special deliverys out that barely weigh anyting. unless u want a quick end of a vendor.. special d's are a huge risk to post out huge risk to get caught on cam. Pistash been around for long enough, if u dont or cant wait. stop being a betch

Coinbase for paying
I use Coinbase and have never had any issues!

Coinbase for paying
So annoying PayBis doesn’t work in the UK now, so used Coinbase to purchase an order! It says on Coinbase that my transaction has been confirmed and sent to the wallet of the person on here.
However they are saying that it is still unpaid - is there a delay using Coinbase as opposed to other options
I just really want my carts and worries that £200 has disappeared

Would recommend sending to your own personal wallet before sending to here rather than sending direct from Coinbase to here
Have you ever had a time where it has taken longer than usual to process an order or your first time using it was there a delay??
It tends to be the blockchain that slows down payments rather than Coinbase. I've had orders move to paid in minutes and sometimes it takes an hour or two. As long as you sent it to the correct wallet address you'll be fine.
Also you might want to use an external wallet like Exodus before paying for anything on LB. Other biggas have had their Coinbase accounts closed for paying directly from their CB account to LB.

On your order screen it says pay remainder click on that does it say received and awaiting confirmation? Sometimes it can take a while on the blockchain it's normally pretty quick but sometimes it's taken a few hours. And like everyone says send to a wallet first before sending here.
So it’s been well over 24 hours now I have t quadruple checked and I have defo sent more than enough to specified wallet!
Coinbase hasn’t said they have blocked me or anything and transaxe isn’t responding to me at all!
Did another order with the same person tofay but used a VPN and Paybis and literally went straight through, I’m guessing just gunna have to swallow that 3 carts has cost me 300 😂😂

Nope it doesn’t, like I said I have defo sent it to the correct wallet as I have screenshottes them and compared. My Coinbase wallet is empty and states ‘completed’. Can block chain take like days some times??
Coinbase are shit in my opinion, high fees and transfers take ages (what is the status in your "orders" screen?) I highly recommend Kraken then out to Exodus, very quick and lower fees than coinbase. Coinbase closed my account after a few direct transfers to LB.
So on Coinbase it says it’s completed but there are still confirmations being added to it!
On my orders on ‘LB’ it is still saying unpaid but my Coinbase says it has been sent.
On my orders on ‘LB’ it is still saying unpaid but my Coinbase says it has been sent.
Nightmare, the seller is correct in that the funds haven't been received into LB yet, hopefully they'll arrive soon.
Check if you 100% sent it to the correct address by comparing them.
If Coinbase is saying the transaction is confirmed then there should be no further delay.
If you are certain you sent it to the correct address and it's still showing up as unpaid then contact transaxe support here;

Just got interrogated by my bank (U.K.) Account frozen temporarily.
Yep I’ve been using Monzo to buy crypto for 3 years with no issue!
on
ShaunyBoy
Just got interrogated by my bank (U.K.) Account frozen temporarily.
Alright so I’m new here.
Tried to buy some BTC from an app called Changelly where supposedly no verification was required (waiting on passport.)
Bank needed to verify the payment so I opened the banking app, accidentally misclicked (my bad I know) and thus failed the verification.
Card blocked.
Call bank to clarify that the transaction is not fraudulent
Transferred to fraud department
Standard procedure so far. My bank block random transactions on the odd occasion and I have to call to clear things up.
So I call.
Immediately suspicious before I even get a few words out
Soft interrogation about
“Why are you trying to buy BTC”
“Do you have a wallet?”
“What were you planning to do with it?”
“Why are you interested in crypto?”
“What was that Xbox transaction about?”
(I tried to buy some digital currency in Mortal Kombat 1 before I knew my card was blocked.)
“Can that digital currency be transferred between accounts?”
…
This goes on for a while.
Eventually, the phone call ends with them asking me to provide screenshots of the app I used.
And my bank account is now totally frozen until they “conclude their investigation.”
On the phone, I basically said that I wanted to dip my toe in the water with crypto at some point when the time is right, never tried it before as didn’t have ID, came across an app that said I didn’t need ID, so I figured I may as well try it out, buy a tiny bit and see if it actually requires verification or not.
Seemed perfectly reasonable to me? Millions of people buy BTC all the damn time.
Been with this bank for 20 years lol. Never done anything remotely suspect. Never purchased anything dodgy or illegal. Never purchased crypto. Good, clean, normal bank account.
Is that not completely ridiculous.
Trying to legally buy £50 worth of BTC.
Accidentally fat-fingering my iPad
And now all this nonsense.
And they probably would’ve done it anyways even if I hadn’t fudged the verification.
Anyone else in the U.K. had similar issues, and how did it go? Any advice?
I’ve sent them the requested screenshots but it doesn’t show much as I was never even able to buy anything.
History = empty
Transactions = empty
Wallets = none
But now my account is frozen, can’t buy smoke, can’t buy literally anything at all.
I’m unable to work due to severe depression and anxiety, just got had a fresh disability payment through and can’t even access it.
Guess I’m ranting a bit.

Know it’s not much help now but get yourself a monzo / revolut account and when you want to buy btc just transfer funds to one of them and then buy from there , been using monzo for crypto for over 3 years and not had an issue, hope it gets sorted for you soon
Had the same interrogation once, told them it’s for my online characters dress up items and never had a problem since 😂
Are you trying to take the piss or something because I wanted to buy cosmetics in Mortal Kombat 1 😂😂😂
Ahaha I see good man!
Used to love MOBAs back before my PC committed Seppuku
I’ve been getting around to buying a new one for the past 9 years I think

My experience is if you are paying with a card Mastercard or Visa, then you'll probably get some hassle. Natwest and Barclays didn't like this and blocked any payments I tried to make. However I started to do bank t r a n s f e r s instead and haven't had any problems since.
Damn really. Were you still with them when you switched to transfers or did you start fresh with a new bank?
Cheers, very helpful. I did consider that briefly. Found an app that doesn’t require verification and it ONLY lets you do a transfer when purchasing crypto.
But now I can’t use it 😂 Fuckin eyy.

I'm still with the same banks when I switched to transfers and through same crypto provider Bittylicious
This is the way👍….I was using Visa through Lloyds and they kept blocking it and getting the same fraud investigations as you despite banking with them since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Basically told them to fuck off because if I want to “invest small sums in crypto” then I will. So sure enough they blocked it again 🙄 and when I really went to rip them a new bumhole they insisted it wasn’t the bank blocking it now but Visa. So I switched to transfers and never had a problem since. Good luck👍
Well that settles it then. Glad I made this post now.
Sod’s law how I found the seemingly perfect app for my present situation just as my account is frozen 🤣
I have to admit, it’s sort of funny.
Now just to play the waiting game I suppose!

It’s not so much as a u thing. More about crypto. On the surface the banks are dead set against crypto and will make u jump through hoops to get a bit all because ur taking money out of the system. Put the wheels in motion that ur taking ur money elsewhere.
On a side note if it’s a small regional bank they may have a liquidity issue & it might be a good time to pull ur funds regardless
No issues with Revolut!!
Good luck

Ah I see, so is this sort of thing relatively common?
I’m likely going to contact my bank and make a point
having been a member for 20 years
having my funds frozen for potentially multiple days
merely because I wanted to purchase a pitiful amount of legal currency
I’m not pissed off really although I probably should be
It’s just a pain in the arse lol
And makes me concerned about them keeping tabs on me now or something
And over what?
I’ll probably just go open a new bank account tbh
Cheers m8

Aye man. Banks and cards 💳 can be more and more frustrating and you’re right.
The bank 🏦 will not unlock your account because of a number of factors, you failed to verify the transaction, add in the fact that you were buying crypto.
When you called the bank apart from making sure you pass verification. They will also be looking for markers and this by accident did not help
On the phone, I basically said that I wanted to dip my toe in the water with crypto at some point when the time is right, never tried it before as didn’t have ID, came across an app that said I didn’t need ID, so I figured I may as well try it out, buy a tiny bit and see if it actually requires verification or not.
The amount is also an added factor because that is a tester type of transaction to see if they can gain access without raising any flags then they work from there.
From their side I would assume they are profiling you more than looking at the answers because you don’t need to give them details of the conformation.
Them asking for the screenshot of the app is looking to see if it is on the list of fraud risks that the banks share between them.
It sounds like it’s been an unwilling shite run of events that has lead to this.
Add in all the above factors and it’s a perfect 3rd party fraud minefield.
Just unfortunate
To get your account unblocked. Contact the bank ask them what they need from you to speed up the process of the investigation and can provide all documentation required.

Well this is gonna turn into a right headache innit!
Oh well. Tis’ what it is 🥱
I’ll get hold of them tomorrow and just play it out.
I had no idea the banks were so skittish about crypto.
I knew they didn’t like it for obvious reasons but
I was not aware they can just
“guilty until proven innocent” you
based on what is a essentially a misguided hunch
And prevent you from buying food and paying bills lol
All over 50 squids worth of crypto.

Bit of a bugger, but all good. At the end of the day, it’s a temporary inconvenience. Just miffed with myself for not looking into more first.
But I’ll survive 😁 Got food in the freezer and a lil smoke sample coming from Alienhead the leg.

This happened to me on my first crypto buy (but I also stupidly selected that that's what I was doing in the banking app). Transfer didn't happen. Rang the bank. Asked to hold for the fraud team. Spent about 20 minutes talking to some guy with similar questions as they pitched to you. I'm interested in crypto, I set up the wallet myself, I'm aware it isn't an investment and would only ever put in what I can afford to lose, no I've never taken a loan to buy crypto or bought crypto on credit , etc, etc. Eventually he said he was 'mostly satisfied' and released it, and I've never had any issues since. This was between night shifts, when I wanted to order ASAP, and was really something I could have done without.
I didn't, however, tell them very specifically that I wanted to buy without any identification to myself as I'd imagine that would set all sorts of alarm bells off for bank fraud teams with regards to money laundering and crime and whatnot. Probably best avoiding that in future.

Aye you make a fair point.
It’s not like I opened with “I wanna buy crypto with no ID” tho lol.
That detail came a bit later when we were discussing the “why now and not xyz”
And it’s not like you’re required by law to possess ID.
But yer I shoulda thought on my feet better.
I’m new to crypto and didn’t expect a random interrogation on the spot like that.
I’ve an anxiety condition and phone calls set it off like crazy for some reason, makes it hard to concentrate/focus.
Does my nut in but it’s automatic. He picked up on it pretty quick too which didn’t help at all.
And he was just a bit off anyways.
Was asking nonsense like, if I could transfer Mortal Kombat 1 coins to other Xbox accounts and what not 🧐
Is that enough excuses to save face, or?

Dazzler gives excellent advice with regards to this. We live and learn. Think faster when put on the spot, if at all possible though. Hope it works out quickly mate.
Aye cheers bud
I admit I cocked up mentioning the lack of ID
I don’t think it was quite as bad as is being made out tho 🥺
Still unacceptable don’t get me wrong lol
But this guy basically didn’t believe a word I said from “hello”
I should have just stuck to my guns at “Yes I wanted to buy some crypto”
“Because I wanted to invest in small quantities” etc etc
And then stopped elaborating
But like you say, live and learn!

Ha, no! He'll then ask you about investments and how that looks with regards to your account... It's not an investment. You're just prepared to speculate a little with money you're prepared to lose, as you understand that with crypto you can lose everything. No, you're not buying drugs with it...
Your answers should end questions, not add branches of further questions. Think about that always in dealings like this.

Well I mean that’s basically semantics.
I would just say to him I don’t care. I’m dipping my toe in the water with 50 quid because I feel like it. Not fussed if I lose it, etc.
That’s basically what I said when this exact part of the conversation took place. Not per verbatim but thereabouts.
Is that really such abnormal or suspect behaviour?
Then, he said something along the lines of, well would you just leave it sitting there in the wallet?
And I said I may well do so. It is 50 quid in BTC. Saw the app, figured why not take a crack sometime, like millions of people do every year.
My “character” in this scenario - I’m just some guy.
What is the first word “just some guy” thinks of in relation to buying crypto?
Most people would probably answer “investing” or “investment.”
Do people who don’t know anything about crypto really go around using the word “speculating.”
I get what your saying and I do appreciate the advice, but I gotta make my case clear lol.
If they’re THAT anal about it
to the extent that the difference between the words “investing” and “speculating” would be that much of a factor
Then you’re basically playing Russian roulette when you speak to them anyways no?
Like I said this is new ground for me and I appreciate anyone’s advice/input
But fuckin eyy 🫡

I can't say anything about this specifically other than my own experience. I felt like I was being fed loaded questions by the fraud guy and that set my mental alarm bells off, so I decided to use (I felt) less contentious wording in my responses. It seemed to work. You should always be able to get decent advice on here mate, hopefully.
Semantics and nuance is how we identify each other though, it's not incidental, it's potentially everything with regards to communication. It's what triggers these thoughts that prickle up the back of your neck in certain situations, and it's hopefully what can save us in situations we haven't consciously realised are dangerous. They're also the same instincts and triggers that you'd hire quality people with that mindset into your fraud department to use for your benefit.

Yer I hear ya mate. I do agree with most of what you’re saying.
The thing is. Because they automatically view you with the mindset of guilty until proven innocent, they’re already biased against rational, objective conclusions based on the available evidence or a lack thereof.
Thus, any instance of nuance or some such is inherently thrown out of proportion, exacerbated, etc.
The guy simply wouldn’t accept that someone may want to buy a small amount of BTC, because he was so determined that fraud was present from the outset.
Case in point. There was NO financial fraud. I was simply trying legitimately purchase bitcoin
so that I could obtain illicit substances online.
So they were WAY off.
But anyways, no sense going around in circles on that count 😂
At the end of the day, no matter the extenuating circumstances, I did cock up and I’ll put my hands up to that.

Good luck dude. I bullshitted them for 20 minutes making the noises I thought they expected, then they released the transfer funds and I bought loads of drugs. They were delicious.
Yes. I’m sure it was delightful. It must have been a good feeling. Thank you. For those carefully selected parting words 😂
Aye. I’ve had a few good recommendations from this post
so at least once this is sorted it’ll be smooth sailing 😬

I second this, since I ordered 3.5G from a vendor but only received 2G as the vendor couldn’t see the amount. Luckily they’re sending out the rest!

We hope you enjoy the updates to little biggy.
Features, bugs, freshness, we've got plenty of each but this borg can help more if we let you wander, then come back here and cry - or help those in tears.

Glad to see full bitcoin prices have been added nice one for that :)
Items list could use a little tweak tho bit of a pain to scroll through it currently everything is huge! (on a laptop dunno bout mobile).

Thank transaxe for that, they have an upgrade too and frankly were waiting for us on this.
nice tip bruh!! thx.. now the font is mini and the pics are huge...but its much better than font the size of the house
Damnn, shopping basket and full btc prices! It seems great! If only other currencies was added. It would feel like Christmas
Hi guys we love the new look a nice breath of fresh air :)
Has anyone else experienced extremely slow loading and timed out messages when browsing on LB we know its still early days but we are loving it so far.

We did. It took 4 hours of perseverance to complete today's orders but we got there. We had orders that wouldn't mark as sent too but kept trying and they've went through!
Yeah today was a struggle but it seems to be running much smoother now thankfully :)
It looks like you can. I could add different items from from different vendors. Didn't try to complete the transaction though.
HS anyone used the basket yet? Does it mean only 1 transaction fee for multiple products/vendors? Or does it still pay for each one by one? Don't fancy testing it incase I get hit by multiple fees.
Cheers

It means you can order multiple different items from one vendor in a single order (no more custom order required). You can also have any number of vendors in your basket all done with a single total payment so only one btc fee. Seems good to me!
Thank you for the clarification! Just what I wanted to know :) Was hoping that was the case but wasn't sure. Will help keep costs down!
Plus that btc is now to 7 decimal places will save us all a lot versus the previous ruinous rounding up....like it :)
The shopping basket is great,
Now let the crying/bug report start. :-)
Amount of grams, ML's etc are not showing anymore on the item and vendor page.
To change a order status to "sent" is very buggy and I have one order that won't change status at all.
If you have your IP set to a other country (vpn tor), you won,t see the items on the vendor page. This was always the case for the item list page. But there you can change the country on the top. But with the vendor page, you need to go to the item list page. Change the country and then go back to the vendor page, to see the items.
Edit: I now see you can change it on the vendor page, but I think this will confuse people,
I will shut up for now. Keep up to good work.

Much easier on the eyes now the colours are a bit darker and looks better now it's aligned to one side and a bit smaller too, cheers borgs! :)
Can say for a buyer the new cart is really good too now I've had a go of that!

I ordered & payed just before site went down, when it came back up again my order screen showing transaction unpaid but Transaxe showing as paid. I know from my end that bitcoin was sent but seller saying that looks unpaid from theirs. I’ve sent seller screenshot of Transaxe page showing ‘paid’ so hopefully there’ll be a way for them to verify this too. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Hello
We used to be able to see the amount ordered by customers but it's no longer shown on orders page. Can we please have that back to avoid mistakes?

Love the fresh new look.
Image and text sizing / padding could use some work.
Trying to scroll the items page on the TorBrowser is like watching TV through a blind.
The majority of item images are too big for the screen, and the scroll is not that sensitive. I can narrow the window but now Navigation is like 6 point type.
Manageable on Chrome and Safari but we can't use those on Tails.
