Xmas number 1
I know, enjoy Halloween 🎃 👻 first
But, times getting close so who’s your money on for bud and hash number 1spot for Xmas.
Anything from late October counts for me!
I’d have money on for green:
Riley
Druids magic
British bulldog
Vendors, do let us know if you fancy something you’ve got coming in.
Helps us ration and save for said drops 👍

Can confirm after chatting with DM they've got a few special things lined up! Pretty sure I'd never even heard of any of them before!
Might even put a cheeky order in myself 😉
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

If you do, beg you do a Xmas selection box 😉
Got my eye on a Riley offering and another vendor highlighted a classic they thinks needs the lung of Apex 😂

Good luck to them though I hope they get what they want, 20 days of strikes is nothing compared to another hundred without strikes they even deliver on Sundays now, I want my postie to be able to eat! :)
I’m with them on contracted changes but inflationary changes, not realistic when even private sector ain’t getting one to match inflation.
Each to their own though, just wanted to raise awareness for anyone not plugged into the plethora of dates coming to disrupt

Hopefully the action wont take place. The escalation is aimed at getting the company back around the negotiating table. This has happened before and always ends in a deal. Both sides will compromise. They were given a 2% rise, the strings attached to the 3.5% involved major change to their terms and conditions of employment. A very hostile move from the employer, imposed on the people who grafted hard and kept us all high over covid! Since privatisation the shareholders have enjoyed around 2billion in profits, and have sold off most of the valuable real estate assets. Plenty of money for a fair pay rise.
Yeah...I put an order in start of the week then found out about the strike going ahead so will be smoking nothing but fresh air the weekend now!
Yeah I failed too mate, only found out of strike when I checked due to no post.
Going to only dealer in cambs I know and it’s usually ropey as fuck 😭

Yeah got paid today, now have to wait till Tues earliest for delivery, what a shitter. Must check out November strike action as it seems nearly every day will be disruptive.

Morning guys, posted a review all be it a shitty stoned one but I don’t see it or green cat on any walls.
Just wondering if it’s just my list?

After spending a rare week at the top of the wall it seems like my posts/topics have been “shadow banned”. I don’t know if has something to do with the recent hacks or the borgs have some kind of hidden agenda for vendors becoming to popular lol but it’s very annoying and not fair! It would be nice to hear an explanation from the borgs why this happens the topics/wall was working better before the hacks but now it seems to have reverted to the old algorithm.
Yeah, not usual behaviour for me mate.

UK medical flower
What’s up biggas,
Accepting I’ll probably use weed for my mental issues for life, I’ve got a fat legit prescription covering many strains 🥳
Thought I’d write up here to help anyone thinking about it.
Firstly, it ain’t cheap! No 10 quid NHS style prescriptions unfortunately.
Can take long to get initial consultation to your herb, so stock up better than Apex did, or end up buying brown terpless street weed
yeah my 1 guy up these ends goes from dog shit to epic, but it’s random 😂
My consultant was awesome, knew how to approach 1 of my conditions (PTSD) better than “conventional” medicine doctors!
Chatted for 20mins then he basically said, here’s the menu, order 60g of what you want and mail me 🤤🥳😂
That feeling was like, when you first joined LB but legit! 😜
For science and you lot, I literally ordered all the most expensive ones that were in stock.
Rapid delivery, and stealth was shit 😂 my postie was literally sniffing and laughing (I had a terpless joint on the go so couldn’t have been that)
Opened them all to give a whiff and tbh, only one smelt of nothing.
Cracked open the Farm Gas first, won’t lie a lesser content creator than Apex with green fur, might’ve tipped us off on this one ❤️
REALLY gassy and buds look divine with good spring and not like hay as I expected this medical to be.
Builder gives it “shit, mr Apex that new one stinks” he’s upstairs! 🤤
Smoked a joint and absolutely delish, washed it down on the mighty and able to hit 181c with no terp tickle, clouds of yummy Vapor and I feel medicated to fuck 🔥
I expect some lesser flower to come in this batch, but will update as I go.
Not that I really cared when vaping in public or anything, but it’s nice to know if a dog walking Karen comes over moaning to me while I vape and fish, I can now inform her that I’m just taking my medicine.
Old Apex would’ve slung the bitch in the lake to hide the body 😂
Anyway, hopefully helpful to anyone considering and feel free to hit me up with any questions 🤜❤️

£8-9 per g of what was available.
Range from 4.50-13 per g
Vapes available too but expensive

Thanks for the post, buddy. I've been considering getting a script for a while and you've just convinced me.
Looking forward to being able to justify the stink to my mrs if nothing else. 😂
"Quiet now, medicine time!"

Welcome to the party pal. I’ve been legal for a year now. I had huge problems with work but it got sorted and they are fine now.
In my opinion people who can afford it should. The more of us jumping through the loop hole the more successful it will be, then more rich people will back it.
They will have to decriminalise it.
Just a tip EMT 20% THC from sapphire is £5.50 a gram (10 grams for £55). I pay that so I can spend more on black market products.
Good luck mate and thanks for bringing it into the spotlight brother..

Thanks for the cheaper offering mate, I’ll try get some of those if available to balance out my heavy usage and give verdict.
For the strains I’ve tried so far, no complaints. One non smeller but smoked nice.
Couple drier than I like but brother Boveda will sort them out.

Good work Skunky👍
Although my understanding is that despite having a prescription it remains illegal to smoke cannabis flower in the UK. All that’s changed is that Plod have agreed that they will still investigate but where no other offences are apparent they will take no further action where prescriptions exist although they will record the incident. Smoking in public remains a grey area and there were three test cases going before the courts but I don’t know if there has been an outcome?…driving under the influence is another hot set of test cases.
So when Karen comes over for a moan mate she is perfectly entitled to because you are a stinky law breaking skunk (no offence). Just one with a prescription 😂🦨😂

Nah, the prescription gives you legal right to smoke it
If you have a script and drive you just need to not be impared. it can be in your system cos it's medical. drug swabs dont matter. Its based on impairement once you have a script

Can you show me where they changed the law?, because that’s my point- they didn’t, and certainly not in a public place. But hey, it’s just semantics, I get it that scrips work for some people and you are not going to get done if you play by the rules…
I’d expect approach varies due to knowledge and attitudes exhibited.
I’d respect people and their boundaries as that’s just me the friendly (but stinky) 🦨 ❤️
Mrs Apex was spitting blood as she thought could always beat me with the illegal stick.
The mighty tastes extra good tonight 😂

Smoking is not how it’s prescribed hence the vape mate? So would think legal to take dose at required time on lake this way?
Joints are no no, I’m really close to sacking it off as prefer mighty mostly now 🥳
Or can I not take my benzodiazepines while fishing?🤔
Laws a mess and needs updating really, driving especially.
Though I hate to drive even slightly impaired!
Would only vape on lake now.

Well I think “smoking” actually means “using” in this context but yeah you are right that it needs clarification which is why those cases going through the courts are set up test cases.
I think with prescription pills there is a specific defence written into the law. With cannabis it’s currently just an agreement amongst Plod.
Seriously, is anyone getting into trouble for personal use whether they’ve got a scrip or not?…I can’t remember the last time I heard of any?…

I’d hope not mate, don’t see harm done by weed I’m never smoking infront of kiddos or anyone really 😂
Hopefully law gets with times, fucking stupid at times.
Wish people could grow a few without fear too as is a great hobby and those skills can be applied to your garden (he says looking smuggly as his butterfly haven of colour that’s winning “neighbour wars: summer edition”

Was looking at going through this process myself but I seen alot of people say that you have to attend mandatory consultations quite frequently. Not only is that a pain in the ass, but the cost that comes with it really adds to the overall cost and makes it pricey
Is this true? How frequently do you need to attend, and what is the price of the appointments?

Think this varies on clinic.
Mine =
Initial consultation 150
1 month follow up 50
Then think it’s 6 months or year at 50
While it adds up, gives apex chance to review the strains back to doc on what they are targeting.
Same I did with conventional mind numbing medicine
The more I get the easier to select from available that will work for me come repeat time, which is free just the money for herb.
It’s not cheap, but so far my experience and bud quality has been fine for that extra piece of mind.
And now also “Mrs apex, it’s medicine” 😂🥳😜

Thanks for the info, I may look into it again
Is there any options like 510 vapes? Or is it only flower in regards to smoking

Loads of flowers
Lots of oils varying in strength and sizes.
Vape carts and vape carts with battery. 0.5 and 1mg
Think they were like 100odd for a 1g pen though, definitely at the high end of the menu.

Wow I had no idea , appreciate the info. Will be looking into it again as I use 510's all the time 👌
Let us know mate, and if anyone else jumped in.
I’m late to the party but quality has been ok, some better than others like always.
Dw still ordering a couple of things on here for variety 😂

Hey Apex,
Amazing content, I’ve been toying with the idea myself. The cost was always a bit hard to stomach tho. However I think the peace of mind being legal is most likely worth it.
I imagine I would feel like every kid at Christmas combined if my consumption was legal, I’ve been dreaming about if for literally decades.
Who did you use if you don’t mind my asking? I’m looking at mamedica. As per our green furry friend suggestion.
Also I wonder, if you let the prescription lapse, I.e do not attend the follow up can you just show your last prescription or the old packing as proof as prescription? Looking to see if I can avoid the follow on costs.
I’m currently trying to get access to my medical records but my gp is a bit useless.
So all in you were looking at roughly £200 for a 6 month prescription + cost of medicine (do you have to use their weed to be legal or can I continue to source my own?) and roughly how long did it take from enquiry to receiving your paperwork?
Cheers,
Papps.

Technically your weed in pots should be prescription to be legit.
Not sure they’d check strain though…. While I wouldn’t promote I’m sure some just get a wee bit legit and top up their prescription 10g pot 🤷♂️
I went Mamedica, strain selection was key to me as I’ve chonged a lot in my years 😂
They were great and didn’t try push anything, but offered advice and then said pick from the menu.
However, it can get costly - I went mad last month to my detriment and picked all the absolute fire strains around 10-11.50 per gram!!
But it was absolutely banging and better than a good few on here!
From initial payment to my first consultation it was 4 weeks!!! Then + 1 week to receive meds on a Saturday delivery (you get multiple text so no postie peaking required) 👍
Mamedica will chase your records, my gp was on it and I just replied yes to access on an email I was ccd on.
My history is long and fat and they still nailed that bit in a week. Upload your id too as soon as you can, more chance to get appointment brought fwd if you can be flexible.
You’re not forced to buy your max prescription amount so can do in bits, or just get smaller one month and let them know.
Initial consultation = 4 weeks
First legal delivery = 5 weeks
Follow up consultation = 8 weeks
Now I’m on repeat which is ordering through phone!
And yeah can use an older pot for a bit, I.e would be hard to blag it’s the same 10g from 2020 😂
They can also rub out from ink wear, I fondle mine regularly and seen them go completely

Amazing! Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed reply. I appreciate your kindness.
Im very tempted to go for it, I don’t know why but I do feel strangely apprehensive for whatever reason, that said I tend to overthink things a tad.
Yes the price per grams on some of the flower had me shook. How’d it compare to the top wares on here? I can imagine favourably.
So very happy this is now a possibility, even if a slight bit expensive. I assume with time prices will become more affordable, or I hope so at least.
Cheers.

Happy to help mate.
Firstly no need for apprehension ❤️
If you have condition that previously been treated they will look after you.
While it medication, it’s in their interest to sign you up for the cash. This being said it NEVER felt like that, in fact my doc kept highlighting 6.50 per g and Greedy apex be like nah 😂😂😂
In terms of bud price and quality it ranges from “it gets you medicated” to “fuck me it’s better than top shelf”
I go sniffing around on medbud wiki and YouTube, to research strains and what not, so even my lesser ones were better than expected.
I’ve smoked from $30-$120 per 3.5 on here. I think the very best ones of smoked are on par with many of the “cali” labels on here.
TGDs packs were the next level above.
Weed prices are fucked imo, medical uk is FAR too expensive as is loads on here atm.
The trouble is, if smokers keep paying the tip prices it continues and gets worse.
Same happened with my corals mate, slap a sexy name on it like “Nuclear Buddha Finger” and something once common is now “rare”.
I get the odd original strain being kept going by a mother plant “could” warrant a higher price point due to actual rarity. But ALL these plants have a short life cycle, so they are just cashing people out from getting natural plant based meds 🤦♂️

Update:
Had follow up appointment and as good as the first, well better actually.
Gave apex reviews of the strains, I think he knows my real identity 😂
And sacked off a few for some more.
For anyone not happy with their provider, well impressed with mine as treated like adult and can order what strains I want from the menu.
25 quid to transfer I think, and no I don’t get paid by them or anyone else 😂

New grinder please?
Hey gang,
Gone through too many 1 quid plastics, well 2 quid since inflation.
Also my storz and Bickel one got gunked and then bits of plastic come off.
I’ve tried cheap metal ones, but threads and all moving parts get fucked in a few weeks max!
Are any of those premium grinders like a Santa Cruz worth it?
If so, anyone got a small one tell me if it’s too small 😂 I got a fat thumb
Any other recommendations welcome, just want a grinder to last and not need the strength of a 100 bears to turn it, or that it creaks so loud it wakes 10 generations of the dead

Tiny but I prefer it to my small Santa Cruz as you can't fit pretty big nugs in
The brilliant cut grinder is my favourite but long wait time even if ordering a factory second

I'm glad I went with the fine plate for the Herb Ripper as sometimes even with that a reasonably big chunk makes its way through without being ground. It's perfect for joints (which is still my main consumption method as tobacco is delicious), and seems great in the Mighty too. I don't think I've ever actually used the other plate, but it is in the box.
Just had a look at the Brilliant Cut and that's what my mate (the one that lent me everything) had with him the other day. Very smooth, almost frictionless action on it.
It doesn't ever need to be cleaned it seems as well
Had mine for a while now and 🤷🏽 swear it's magic

This is weird because I had the exact same thought today. Had two Storz and Bickel ones now and I do like them. Fancy something a wee bit more exotic though. I read stainless steel is the way to go because aluminium might not be healthy long term, reckon that’s bullshit?
The storz and Bickel starts nice, but those 4 bumps on the rim collect loads of gunk quickly.
To be fair to the plastic ones, I’m probably running too much through them a day 😂
Re: aluminium, some posts I read say shavings as soft but I didn’t read many to scare me.
Also, surely the plastic would melt in a joint and the metal flake would just get hot and stay in ash?🤷♂️

Man I think the S&B one is great for the price, I only got another one because I simply can’t be bothered to clean grinders anymore.
Yeah I agree, the aluminium thing sounds like bullshit. I remember that it does have a low melting point but I have no idea if that means toxic vapour is a factor. Seems unlikely.

Unfortunately I swallowed that bullshit and that's why I got the Herb Ripper. Had a smaller aluminium one that was perfectly serviceable for years before that and used it so long that all of the paint wore off. Presumably I smoked that? 🤷🏻♂️
Surely paint is worse than any aluminium haha. So that presumably means we should avoid weird coated grinders then?
Who knows mate? Can't be good if the coating comes off, surely? I'd never really thought about it before looking to get a new grinder, and with 35% off (I think?) I took the plunge and bought what's hopefully the last grinder I ever need to buy, and as it's stainless steel (and could be used as a Cluedo weapon) with no coating there aren't any of those considerations.
Need to get anodised aluminium not sprayed / painted if what I’m reading in my grinder quest researching 😂
I’ve now got more possibilities than I knew of 😂

The heavily discounted medium sized 4 piece Herb Ripper I bought from Magic Vaporizers is a beautiful thing. Almost art. Cuts through almost anything like butter. Added the fine grinding plate too as I have no self control, and I'm glad I did.
I don't know the brand of my grinder but it is and old one like the originals, wooden with pins. It is the only girnder I have and is 15+ years old, granted the pins are loose now but it certainly has done its job and still performs to this day. Never liked the idea of a plastic grinder becasue of the plastic shards. Had a metal grinder with a kief catcher and only used it for a month or so and went straight back to my Old faithful wooden relic.
I hear you mate, had an ancient pin one with nice wood too.
Served me well till some fucker pocketed it at a smoke sesh

3 Piece Santa Cruz is fantastic. I do a full disassemble and deep clean every few months, dab the smallest amount of cooking oil on the threads and it's smooth as butter. Would not recommend the small one, it gets over crowded quickly and you can't fit much in it, and it's tiny. Medium is perfect and the large is even better but not necessary
I use a Space Case 4 piece. If you’re looking to collect kief it’s worth it. I’ve had it for around 10 years now and it’s still going strong.
Ditto, Space Case are great. Reckon I’ve had mine 15yrs or so. The pollen press is a nice addition too. Just bought a flower mill to give that a try.
I've got this one https://www.shivaonline.co.uk/shop/grinders/pollenator-grinders/products/chongz--dragon-fire--rasta-4-part-metal-sifter-grinder.html
I've got the 40mm version, so the smaller of the 2 options, but give me more then enough. Not had any issues with it and it cleans up well.

Deffo got a soft spot for the Rasta colour scheme
But now so many more options I’d not heard of 😭

I'll be honest, that's what got me 😆
I was using a standard plastic, shark tooth grinder for years, but I always wanted a kief catcher, so a 4 part grinder was the choice for me.

I got a 2 inch 4 piece GoldenBell grinder 7 years ago and it’s still going strong and has given me zero hassle. Cost like £6.

Anyone advise if a vendor with good track record of Saturday delivery when ordering Friday?
Preferably without paying 20 quid extra 😂
Cheers in advance

We do charge $15. But as it's 4/20 week, pick NDD and we'll upgrade to Saturday for you.
shroom of the loom , i ordered off them on late friday i think it was, posted on saturday and it arrived sunday, it was NDD though
Again, in need for a weekend drop.
Got sent wrong gear and not to apex’s taste 😭
Who got the goodies for Saturday, can get coin over before lunch ❤️

Yes AP2 I was doing Saturday Special and was actully taking a lose charging only$12 but there was very little uptake so took it down so i could break out and chill a bit earlier on Friday without all the stress that comes with this specialized parcel drop as otherwise if it goes wrong the whole weekend is a major ball ache lol.
My tracked 24 usually get there on Saturday look at my stats! (FREE 24 ON EVERY ORDER)
Have a great weekend dude hope you get it tomorrow x

Sorry to post here but not sure where to put this.
Is there delays or anything going on with royalmail? 24-4-23
Had a 24hrs tracked parcel take 5 days to arrive last week, then got another that's currently on 3 working days. When I check the tracking I can see it's been sent on time by the seller, so issue appears to be with royalmail . Is there strikes or anything going on with RM at the minute? What's going on with them?

Royal Mail are facing sanctions from the government due to their failure to maintain a consistent delivery rate on 24 hour deliveries. Their target is to deliver 95% of all NDD parcels within 24 hours but in reality they are apparently hitting 71% and facing fines as a result.
Edit - just realised this was an old post.

Xmas vendor idea
I know it’s fucking summer….
But hear me out 😂
So, missus apex always gets some swanky advent calendar while I’m left rustling for a Jesus shaped chocolate.
While I’d still get my religiously themed choc one, imagine if a vendor filled on of these!
I’d expect it £200 or so but imagine that child like excitement you’d get, opening that wee door for a THC treat 🤤

So something like those fancy whisky calenders that they sell for eye-watering amounts? I'm intrigued by the concept. Saw one a couple of years ago with drams of 50 year old single malt in it, the I saw the price and closed the page. If Mrs Apex likes chocolate you'd get definitely brownie points if you got her an advent selection box from Chococo. Some of the best chocolates I've had, and perfect as a daily December treat.
You got it mate!
Missus gets beauty ones with all sorts.
The difference here is that if it’s £200 then there’s 200 quid or more 😘 as it’s 🎄 worth of items.
Could customise it with buyers choice in the last bigger box
Admittedly, I’ll probably open the whole lot and consume in a day like I do my choccies 😂

Been on here quite a while (OG apexskunk account lost)
Just wanted to say, best online community I’ve seen and take part in.
Compared to usual toxic gaming shit I’m used to, it’s amazing to see the help offered, support and all sorts.

Well said and agree 100% smoke weed. Talk shit about said weed. Have a laugh
It’s not hard. People just make it harder than it should be.
This place has been a god send.
People can have a difference of opinion on what ever they want and on the most part that I’ve seen it’s respectable and if you have a laugh at the same time. Fucking result 👊
Two of the best in yourself and Mr Puff
Keep posting and keep up the good work Bro 😎

Do smoke reports help (vendors and smokers)?
Hi all,
Should’ve been smoking and writing one now, but yeah Royal fail yet again..
Anyway, just wondering do smoke reports help with your buying choices?
Do you vendors ever see an uptake of purchases on a reviewed strain??
Or do I just waffle into an abyss lol

I’ll write a smoke report if the weed or product blows me away.
I’m thinking “shitty death every Bigga needs to get their lungs around this!!” and feel it’s my civic duty to tell them all (whilst part of me thinks I should perhaps stay stumpf and keep it all for myself😂)
If it’s average weed or product I don’t really have much to say. If I think it’s poor I’ll look at reviews and if they are good then assume it’s probably just me. But I always leave an honest score plus notes on the running review page.
Like most Biggas I cannot get my head around the ‘10/10 haven’t tried yet’ reviews😡🤯…it’s like Biggas think if they don’t fill the review within minutes of receiving it then it will disappear in a puff of smoke ( which of course it will, but only in due course😂😂)

I think that is the approach most bigga’s take. I’m guessing
It’s infuriating and defeats the purpose. At least you know how long it takes to arrive. That’s one positive to take from it I suppose

I don't take much notice of them. I have a (c.)400mg tolerance, so the bleary-eyed euphoria of young men who've just stepped up from soap bar after buying some mids on here doesn't impress me all that much.
Actually, having thought about it, it makes me jealous. Very bloody jealous.

400mg would be 2g of 20% THC weed I think, it's a bit of an odd flex but I think they are trying to say they need more than that to feel the effects?
A 0.5ml d9 cart would be around 450mg if it was strong

I've been smoking for 25 years... and if I smoked 2g of 20% in one sitting I would die from a fatal panic attack! 😂🤣😂
Flex? Is that a young whippersnapper's way of saying I was showing off!? 🤣
Far from it. I wish I had the tolerance I had when I started out though. I was banging through 1g of cheese a week back in the day, seeing visuals and shit, now a couple of g gives me a 'standard' buzz. Go figure. Science definitely needs to come up with a drug that resets cannabinoid receptors.

It's high enough to be too expensive for my current financial situation.
Guess it's subjective, but I kind of work on the premise, like our fellow bigger, DeadRabb1t, that HQ weed is about 20%.
I know if I eat 400mg of distillate, that's enough to get me there, 500 to really enjoy it, 550 to go lunar.

The Apexskunk smoke reports have led me to some great purchases I wouldn’t otherwise have made. Also I like reading them.

Worth noting that some reports carry more weight than others; Tman, Dreamer420, Petitfleur, Sam508 have all contributed to my enjoyment of this site
petitefleur helped me loads!!!
Shoutout to my fellow shillsters deadrabbit and pollypuff too.
And thanks to anyone else who does detailed reviews, I read them!!!

Her reviews are always spot on
And where is DR anyway? I’ve even seen people saying positive things about Arizer products. Totally un-challenged? What’s going on?

I always look at reviews and usually write my own too, for reasons already given - primarily, the actual ratings system is a bit broken.
I find them very helpful and enjoy the read. Especially the last one on Hans 👌
If I’m honest Im no fucking expert or ever claim to be but like you I like a good smoke report / seller feedback on venders I have not used and like to read peoples opinions in it and give my own long winded comments lol 😂
This might sound like I’m a tool but for ages me buying street. Weed was weed 🙄 don’t I know.
I have been trying to “educate” myself which also involves continually experimenting. 1st world problems eh
Now here lies the problem and I would like your view on it?
If you do get smoke that does not live up to the hype or anything else.
Would we still write a smoke report ?
What’s the golden rules ?
DM the seller if it’s anything below what you expected before posting a review / topic or do we do an honest review good or bad ?
I don’t want to open a can of worms but every other consumer platform does. Trip adviser / Amazon / eBay
I like most bigga’s on reflection have given 9/10 when really should be 7/8.
I’ve been quite lucky as on the whole I have had decent weed for the price that I pay.
Is the review solely based on the smoke and smoke alone ?
For instance is it fair to compare Druids / Hans / hashin / British bull dog the list could go on and on ( all out my budget mostly and in the I wish section) as getting a 1/2 Oz for $100
I always take value for money into account when I make a judgment like everything else as a consumer?
Is it fair to compare Aldi to Harrods but you can get good stuff in both.
Please keep posting man
Take it easy

I really appreciate the people who give honest reviews and compare vendors like that. I think it takes a certain amount of bravery to be completely honest, and I often look for coded language for weak weed in reviews such as "daytime smoke" or "great for beginners". 😂
Lol the British polite code of saying weak green 😂😂
Great point, though I do believe or find myself some weed is better suited to wake and bake and day time smokes.
I stupidly smoked a strong indica once before work and fuck me it was stupid, people saying I look confused 😐

Cheers Dazzler,
Some mighty fine points.
Normal reviews 10/10 weed arrived lol I take with a pinch of salt. And look for a report for the detail.
I wish the official reviews would split into categories I.e stealth, product, price, delivery, customer service 👍
With my own smoke reports I will rate the weed as weed regardless of price.
Anything shit (I’ve been lucky or selected skilfully based on reports from people I trust) I would always contact the vendor first, many I think would want to hear and seen vendors take bud down if a bit ropey on reviews.
I have had 1 or 2 less than perfect, and highlight this in my review.
The one that sticks in mind was one that hadn’t fully cured, still smokeable but needed 3-5 days additional curing and burping 😂
Is it fair to compare based on price points, probably not as can’t really compare a Ferrari to a ford, though they both can drive from A to B and that’s where I try come from.
Like you I buy budget from pistach, I’ve rated this highly. Strawberry ammy being a fav of mine!

I wish the official reviews would split into categories . Could not agree more Apexskunk2. You can have the best weed known to fucking mankind but if it gets fucked every time because of the stealth or lack of it what's the fucking point.
That's a good point you have and you can't argue with in regards on how you approach your reviews. Everyone has there own way of smoke reports / reviews. That's one of the main things I like about the community.
You read what you want to read and make your own decisions and if the smoke report helps with that decision Fucking A
If you don't agree or don't like users reports or opinions that's what the comments are for.
Ferrari to a ford again I agree to a certain extent as both get you from A to B but I'm telling you the now! Am I fuck taking the mega bus lol ha ha ha
Yea I like using pistach and used him a few times but not the Strawberry ammy. I'll put it on the list which is as long as a bog roll by now.

It’s worth a try if you like ammy mate, varies on batch which strain you get more taste of but I love both flavours and does the trick.
Can wake and bake and smoke through day but keep smoking and will be on arse 😂

Your reviewing against their advert not against other weed , hence why can have 10/10 dirt weed if it was sold and priced appropriately.
The issue is that the way the ratings work people won't use vendors under 9.something so if you were leaving 7 or 8's you would suddenly see vendors being upset
And in regards to Aldi and Harrods comparison, sure you can you just need to be objective and realise that Aldi ham slices are likely not from the same pig as Harrods

Very good point with regards to the comparison. Hadn’t thought about it as such in that way but as I said along the same lines.
I would base it on value for money so if it’s advertised as shit but cheep then that has to be definitely taken into account.
Especially new venders maybe 25+ sales tops so a low review would crush there ratings for sure.
That’s exactly what my point was and just a way of phrasing it.
I personally would not compare the two like for like. Exactly the same with my reviews
I would not compare a $90 Q vs a $40 Q just as an example. As advertised and value are more or less in line with each other you would hope.
Long winded way of saying that if you declare so to speak how your smoke report or rating is based on then a more informed decision can be made by the reader

Definitely help. Keep it up. I like to read a good honest review. What I don't like to see is something like this (Apologies to those biggas who are impatient!):
"10/10 Fantastic. Not tried it yet."
Makes me so angry I could crush a grape. :)
"10/10 Fantastic. Not tried it yet."

Yeah the thing is when I receive a package I do feel this overwhelming urge to review ASAP! I feel like the vendor is waiting impatiently for my review - is it just me?
It's that limbo state in your order "sent awaiting your review" which then stifles my descriptive ability. All I can of is "it's pot and gets me high" ! No wonder Biggas leave a quick 10/10 review.
Weed gives you the ability to be creative but takes away the ability to form construct two words together string wibble. :)

Lol 😂 it’s hard also when you have had the same stuff multiple times. I tend to say leave a full review first order the say 2nd 3rd order refer to first review. Then remember it doesn’t tell you who left the review 🤦
😂😂 I remember the first order and the sheer joy, shock and delight when it actually arrives warranted a 10/10
I do hope the review system can add a bit more depth soon.
Just a couple of categories should really help 👍

Yeah - that first time purchase, I agree!!
All vendor votes are in one place so it would be good for each order to rate out of 10, say, Quality, Stealth/Packaging, etc. and these scores to be collated and shown on the vendor's page as one figure. Although, will this get cumbersome and eventually all the rating options will just get 10/10 anyway!
Stealth: 10/10 but I haven't looked inside yet.
Quality: 10/10 but I haven't tried yet.
Customer service: 10/10 but I have never contacted them.
Oh well, maybe not such a good idea! :)

Fantastic experience with this vendor. Great comms, stealth and delivery.
All good to know of course but I want to know about the bud also, not fucking date him lol

Aye thanks for the info. I think that is worse than 10/10 got it thanks
Takes more effort, funny tho
I can see peoples lack of response or views I might not agree with it but I do see the point.
I don't really leave feedback on any other platform other than here

Hehehe… yeah that first successful order feeling when the world is indeed a truly wonderful place and you are awash with gratitude and warmth for all…how can that not be a 10/10? 😂🥰😂
"sent awaiting your review" you see it everytime you log in. Sometimes it's getting the time to write a decent review.
I tend to DM them saying that it's all kool and the gang and will review shortly

Deffo help me, I trust a smoke report over some reviews I have seen. The only smoke reports I have seen that don't really help are off the back of promos or freebies (not yours)
Yeah I hear that, some of the reviews from freebies I fear are written under a thought that if they don’t praise it high enough they won’t get another freebie.
Only freebies I’ve had are with an order, like a joint or two. I just review them like I bought it but with a disclaimer 👍
I’ve applied to review some new vendors herb when they post, but most stay clear of an Apex review so that right or wrongfully tells me they aren’t confident in the results 🤷♂️

I have said this on another tread but I have only written smoke reports or reviews on weed that I have purchased for that exact reason.
This is particularly good when trying testers. As sometimes it gives you the chance to try something that you would not particularly order but and this is a big but I also try and take it in context. I don't know if I'm just weary of tester reports as if you are in any type of retail setting. Your not going to send out shite testers if your trying to make a name for yourself.

I’m tempted by samples but some add shipping which then makes it almost a Henry of budget herb 😭
I'm sure I seen someone add $30 shipping to a sample.
Also $150 Oz and $50 plus shipping. Does my head in (Click bait) I'm not saying it's not a good deal but why not just put $200 Oz and free shipping

I feel your pain bro
I had to call my mate once to send BC as the rate changed and I was short $5 and used everything I had to pay it in the first place
Got there in the end

I'd actually be quite interested to see them if they accept, I have some nasty stuff off some of the new vendors lately
I’m old mate does nasty mean dog shit weed lol?
I’d love to take a punt on some new vendors, but I can’t really afford a bag of shit and be stuck for a week. Smoke too much quite addicted and high tolerance.
You know me, I’d happily review anything but by god, if it’s shit ween I’m telling it how it is to try save someone else the displeasure of buying it and having to smoke it 😂
Think I’ve posted up on a good few new vendor sample posts, many don’t acknowledge me but then send to person above and below my post who have like 2 buys at 30$? 🤷♂️
Another question if I may:
Would vendors be pissed if I did “Bud battle” reviews?
Two similar priced buds, same mix (indica, Sativa, hybrid etc.)
Been thinking about it but wanted vendors (especially my go tos) opinion first.
Many times I’ve been stuck for choice between two strains 😂

I asked vendors about a ‘Battle Of The Carts’ and they were all really supportive. Carts all look the same but are so different in make up and price it’s a minefield.
Trouble is I then got Covid, stripped my lungs, got a lingering wheeze that wouldn’t clear and couldn’t hack it (so to speak🥴) so it’s been on the back burner.
I think Biggas should do this kind of stuff👍👍

If anything lands we could have Battle of the Buds: Round 1 (smalls) 🤞

They said 3pm cut off and special delivery, I’m preying it lands tomorrow as just got another bag off local dealer and fuck me it’s some ropey ass shit, I could grow better in my garden ffs 🤦♂️

I'm really enjoying it man. It gives me a long lingering stone. Which I like.
Don't know if it's the mix of strains or what but for me it's good.
Not the sharp right away high but fucking take you by surprise. Ninja high.
Put this way I smoked my first bit and thought not much of it. It tasted good and smoked good but I was kind of unsure of it as I did not get that high straight off the bat.
So another was called for and lets just say 40 min later I regretted that decision. well not regretted more unexpected lol
Be good to hear your thoughts man. fingers crossed for you

Are you in my head? Your "bud battle" comment has hit home with something I was thinking about the other day but tbh a bit reluctant to mention because I may come across as a bit naive...
All these vendors. All these products. How many suppliers?
Thai weed not around for a while then pops up on one vendor's page, I GUARANTEE other vendors slowly but surely start advertising THEIR own Thai.
Maroc - the same.
Beldia - the same.
Skywalker - the same.
Letcho hash - the same.
Plus others I can't remember. Ok, popular strains will always be in plentiful supply but my point is when a product pops up that hasn't been around for a while, you can bet that other vendors will suddenly have their "own" supply exclusive to them.
Maybe there is only a handful of suppliers in the UK or maybe I'm just talking absolute bollocks!
It doesn't really matter so long as we all have lots of choice but your "bud battle" review would highlight any similarities (or not!).
Maybe all the vendors are just one person? Now I'm in conspiracy theory bullshit territory!! :)

I have noticed that also but it's basic economics.
Supply and demand
I think I seen the Thai first on MrBreal (Can't member if that's right) someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
He quickly climbed quite quickly up wall.
Next thing is an influx of the stuff

I challenge you to look at all available products and tell me which are selling fastest and would recommend to a vendor to start stocking!!! Unless they have more info at their fingertips.
It can't be the items wall, if so Pistach Beldia must have sold billions, can't remember when it wasn't at the top! :)

I agree with your point and of course some sellers must have multiple accounts selling the same gear. They must also see what's selling based on reviews ect as I would if I was selling.
That's not a challenge that's a full time job without access to the info needed lol
Just an observation. I seen it on the topic's wall first then on the wall.
Like you said other sellers have there own "supply"
Since I have started using the site it was shake Rdeal but not 100% then the cookies & Cream, Dr extracts ect ect
Now it's like you say Cookies & cream for ages now.
Does anyone know how the wonder wall works lol

It would be funny if LB turned out to be John from Preston! **completely random, I mean no offence/harm to any Johns from Preston!!**
You realise next time I see an obscure product, say Charas, temple balls or the like, I'm going to be extra vigilant and see if other vendors start selling the same straight away!
Although, what does it matter? Should be glad of all the choices! I'm overthinking again. I think I need a toot!!!
I think you will have more luck convincing Truuuump he isn't President than figuring out the wall.
And yes, that many u's to highlight the onomatopoeia (ooh, check out the big brain on Brett...) :)

interesting little sub discussion this one.
Hopefully a vendor weighs in with input, but I’m convinced some buy from like a dark web wholesale or something, hence we see the same strains crop up (pun intended) near the same time.
Price variance likely due to how much bulk they buy allowing cheaper deals.

I would like to read bud battle man.
you could make it like a knock out winner takes all lol

I done think my bank balance could do it as regular and like it should be lol
Ideally it would be knock out rounds, whittling down say the 90/10 indica to the final 2 😂
For now, I’ll just do a little like for like battle.
First one will be a trifector special of small buds.
This is If it lands, still waiting on Hans smalls from 29th sept and just banged in order for smalls of shroom of the loom with special delivery 🤞

Nice, and like you I would like a balance to fund my "Education" you think I could get a mature student loan lol
I liked them. As I have said before for me it was a cheeky creeper and really enjoyed it!
My mate tried it and said he never liked it but getting him to smoke anything but Dawg is a nightmare lol
You like what you like and in my opinion that's the point and why we are so spoiled on LB.

I really need to stop trusting a few new ones haha but then you get the odd one that smashes it. (northern organics, sassy buds, bud notonist etc) all new when I tried them.
Tbh with reliable vendors dropping prices recently new guys will find it hard I think.

I am writing a topic at some point on some new venders I have used and had good experience with (again I don't if that is just blind luck)
I will post a link once it's done as I am waiting for the last one to drop tomorrow.
Like everyone else I am always werry about using new venders, because not cunt want shite gear but I wanted to see if my stoner late at night stupid idea had merit

I went with bud botanist if that’s the same one as a new vendor.
Reason behind I could tell that person had grown it themselves with a lot of love and care by the words and methods described 👍
Nothing against new vendors as they all have to start somewhere, I’m just not in a position to try too many at risk of getting a q of nasty bud that does nothing and tastes like old socks and digestive biscuits 😂

ShadowStorm84 I agree that you feel some sort of guilt if its not a good review as it was for free
Yes mate they are helpful. Thanks for putting the effort in. I'm sure you've helped countless people on here make their choices.
Keep up the good work.

End of October buddy, I'll drop a message nearer to when she's ready, she's just curing at the moment.
Can't say what she's like as a smoke as I've been really good and waited until she's properly ready, but it's been bloody hard work keeping my hands out of the jars! She smells lovely and looks the part too. 👐
If you're short on coin at the time, or for whatever reason don't hesitate to send me a PM and I'll always reserve some for you of any drop. As with all my previous customers, I don't mind putting a bit to one side for you in a jar until you've got the funds. No bother at all.
But yeah, I'm looking at dropping her on the last weekend of October when hopefully she'll be at her best. 🤞
All the best buddy.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

How’s that WC coming on BB I know you were up against it with the heat & humidity?
How’s that WC coming on BB I know you were up against it with the heat & humidity?
It was a massive battle but I think I came out on top.
Temps are always a nightmare, and humidity is another pain in the arse but the kind of heat and humidity we had during that heat wave, when I was just at the height of the flowering period was a massive stress.
A 12,000 btu AC unit and two dehumidifiers running 24/7 just about did the trick, but I made sure the wife didn't see the last electricity bill! Just paid that one and tried to forget about it 😬
The drop will be at the end of October. I'll post a message closer to the time.
Hope you're well mate.

Bit of bud porn for you. A 10g nug fully dried.
I'm not sure how that's going to go through someone's letterbox though so I might just have to smoke her myself.... 😉

Like I say I've not tried her yet but the smell is getting better and better. Quite floral, sweet and a bit of citrus sourness too. Bit early to tell how she'll end up in a few weeks but she's looking promising.

Sounds sick already!
When I grew I was shocked just how much flavour and smell could develop over the entire curing process.
I miss the art of growing myself

Reviews are definitely appreciated by vendors as we know what standards to keep and what needs to come again or be forgotten..
Some things sit with everyone equally and may have one or two people who prefer differently .. but if youre getting too many negative reviews about something then it needs to be changed.

Recommendations or vendors tempt me
Hi all,
Still waiting on some budget smoke from last week with no response from vendor. 😢
As such needed to hustle to get some btc together as smoke for my ptsd.
Who’s got tasty terps that hits hard? Indica preferred but not essential.
Would love ndd for tomorrow but realise it’s late on Monday for it now.
No disrespect meant, but if your stuff takes LONG to get to me and you don’t reply then I’m not likely to use you again.
Appreciate some of you are big vendors like Amazon or the weed world but customer service is Key to my continued custom!!
Dr / JJ
Riley’s
Pistachio
Diuk
Bulldog
Druids magic
I salute all the above

Dazzler is the lemon hater, I’m not put off by it but not drawn to them either.
I smoked a couple of bars of lemon haze and lemon amnesia way back.
This being said, mercyene or whatever it’s called I believe is the lemon terps and is majority In lots of things I rate highly 🤷♂️

Well it's not really lemony anyway to me. It has a bit of lemon and lime at first but when broke up I find it quite gassy.
It looks and sounds a good one mate, you lot keep making me add new vendors to my “try and review soon” list 😂
Thanks for the shout out as always 🙌. Appreciated.

Aug 2022 delivery issues
hey people, anyone else having delivery issues?

i know I'm panicking, but this was my last bit of coin and having bad withdrawal now.
Only know one shitty Street vendor in cambridge too 😭😭😭😭

There are strikes coming up this month, but I'm not aware of any issues right now with RM. Have you messaged the vendor? Because it was sent 24hrs tracked they should have a tracking number to see what's going on.
"Royal Mail strike action on the following dates:
Friday 26th August
Wednesday 31st August
Royal Mail have said letters will not be delivered on strike days.
On days when strike action is taking place, Royal Mail says it will:
Deliver as many special delivery and tracked 24 parcels as possible.
Not be delivering letters (with the exception of special delivery).
Items posted the day before, during or in the days after any strike action will be subject to delay.
Please note: Royal Mail sorting offices will be closed on strike days, meaning no collections or deliveries can be made."

cheers mate, yeah vendor gave me tracking but its stuck on "we've got it"
i think this means it only updates when it's delivered.
I'm an addict so when thc cold turkey hits it fucks me up big time 😔

had a 24hr parcel sent Thursday & it’s literally just turned up now, was posted on Thursday too, just sat at Greenford MC over the weekend, I’m sure it’ll turn up today/tomorrow :)
same mate!
mine just turned up this second, strangely it was marked as delivered on tracking at 7:30am lol
guess it's for stats they see it was mega late so scanned early? 🤔

Hey benji,
Im hearing from other people on twitter that this is the case.
i can only assume a backlog from the strike has knocked a few parcels back.
im praying for my new order to land today 🙏

Bulldog & Botanist would defo be VIP guests on the red (green!) carpet when we host the Awards! 🥰🏆🥂👏
I agree with everything but bud botanist as I never tried him but I will be sure to when he next lists something
not about much it seems and I only tried one of his grows, but it was massive and delish.
tasty organic and could tell the love and care in it, well worth a try imo if he "crops" up again 😂

Never purchased off him but can say BudB is a proper gentleman. I've had loads of chats with him about growing, lighting etc etc. A genuine artisan grower who really knows his stuff and loves his plants.
I think he's back after Christmas from memory.
Cheers. BB

Not long to wait then. And sounds just like the vendors I like using.
What strain will be next from yourself?

Got some Gorilla Zkittles curing at the moment, ready in a couple of months, looks to be a nice smoke. Can't comment yet as she's not ready to even test a bit, only been in the jars a few days and it's always harsh if you test it too early. It's stinky though!
After that i've got some 'Sannies Jack' which is about 4 weeks into the grow. It's Jack Herer i imported from a Dutch seed bank called Sannies which apparently has the best example of Jack you can currently buy. The old genetics are pretty much lost now (a bit like cheese) but Sannies is apparently (according to some) as close as it gets to the old award winning stuff.
Very short, stocky, dark plants with wide leaves in veg which makes me think they'll lean more towards the indica side but it's too early to tell. Happy enough with them so far!
I'll be sure to give you a nudge when anything goes up in case you're interested, hopefully i'll get back to my lightning postage by then! RM willing! Haha.
Cheers. BB

Sounds like next year is going to be awesome between yourself druids and bud botanist.

No problem buddy.
You know i've never tried JH myself, even after going to the Dam a few times. No idea why but i just never saw it. Really odd considering how popular it is.
Yeah my mate is the same he absolutely loves it. basically begged me to grow them... Hopefully i can do the strain justice!

Based off the Mac I’m vaping at the minute I’m sure you will.
It has a peppery haze kinda taste to it but in a very unique way but the high is superb. I personally prefer the indica leaning variety so really excited. I haven’t had jack herer in years now. So thank your buddy for me

Got an order from Smoggy due to drop today. Not ordered of Smoggy before but read good things.
Druids have blown me away with their grows as did Oilman. Watching those two.
BudBoyzUK have good products in, both flower and hash. The Riff has is nice and squidgy hash.
I've also got some more on watch that I've never ordered from, but heard good things...Fallen, Bonneville and UKCannaFarm. I'm hoping Bubblehashking will have something but not sure.

Fancy something special for Christmas so watching this thread for updates.

I wish it was an official thing that we could vote on in a few categories each year.
best service
beat Green
best hash
edibles etc.
then the vendor should get a little badge 👌

I got 4 orders in today (poor postie), all sent fri, two from diuk.
other vendors tho i've seen go from 1 day first class to three days.
I think £15 tip for Postman is very reasonable and non-sus eh?
Vendor badges sound great!

Best sport stoned?
Fishing is top, my lake also has a bbq smokehouse I need to sample 😂
Esports close #2
Deffo 💯 used to fish as a nipper and finally got round to getting back into it a couple of years back. Even had a guy who dropped off at me local spot 🤣🐟🎣
Fishing tops it for me, pool and darts too,nothing too energy intensive but swimming is always good
I hit the gym stoned, take saunas stoned, go mountain hiking stoned, go cycling stoned, but there is zero competitive nature... As I'm lazy!
snowboarding gets the gold. well until they take it back
Archery is fun. I once bought from a guy who had a bunch of targets set up in his garden and would let me shoot a few arrows when I picked up.
I love having a smoke and going mountain biking , turning my phone off for a few hours and just going out and getting lost in the forest
You hit the nail on the head, when the suns out like today, jump on the bike and hit the forest, big joint and then ride. Bliss!
Yep exactly what I like to do too, I named a bench near the start of my local trails 'spliff bench'.
I had planned to do exactly that today, but got covid for Easter instead.

Roller Skating with some good tunes in your ears.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.
Juggling is great once you have some flow.
To watch or participate? If its just to watch I can watch any old shite stoned. Found myself watching lawn bowls once, but you can't beat topless volleyball. To participate being stoned, well, gotta be driving, personally I drive much better after a smoke and have more patience with others. The fact I have no licence for a year is a testimony to that, dunno why the courts don't share my opinion, cunts
Motocross or just generally anything 2 wheel related
I'll never forget passing around a bong at 6am in the back of a rotten transit van every weekend surrounded by bikes and petrol on the way to tracks like Cheddar Gorge, Apex and Whiteway Barton
flying through the air on a 100kg death machine when you're stoned as fuck is one of the best things I've experienced full stop

Best Iphone Game?
Xbox app + gamepass 😉🥳
Loads of games have touch controls made for phones, not all great.
Or can use onscreen controller, works but tough on phone…
If you have an iphone later than 11, you can download ported games like resident evil remakes (2 to 4).
I also decided to go through all the old classic GTAs on mine and they work perfectly as ported games.
Currently got a modded pkig vita and going through old classics from psp times.
AHH the good old days :)

A back-bone controller for iPhone gaming on games like call of duty is like having a PlayStation on your iPhone almost. Can pick them up around £10-15 second hand on Vinted. Recommended for a little bit of fun.
Crossout, rocket league sideswipe or pool stars, south park phone destroyer is cool too

What is the best DIY bong?
Pringles tube!!
can make joint or burning Bong, put ice cube in base of it..
Delish and mouth piece is big and makes air tight seal on my fat cheeks…
Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!
I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.
where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou
When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this
That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple
Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.
Ahhh the old bucket method. Takes me back to the 90s that one!
We used to do these with a cheap bottle of pop from Kwik Save, a foil KitKat wrapper, and then go to the local park and subtlely make use of the penny wish fountain!
The good old days! 😂😂
Cheers BB 😊👍

we once used a drinking fountin bottle, a speaker grill (for gauze) and pulled it in a m8's bath ...lmao
If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs
Haha awesome
Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.
You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.
If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.
Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.
If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.
Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.

You give smokers a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke it with and suddenly they become engineers! Brilliant. : D

My special skill is that I can McGyver a bong out of almost anything.
Basically, as long as you have tin foil you can do anything. Make pipes: a few wraps, tight around a pencil, seal with scotchtape lengthways. Fan out the end before doing so. Tear a circle of tinfoil, and a pin ("anyone wearing a badge?"), open the back page of an unloved book, place the foil on the paper, and tap the pin up and down repeatedly and you have a perfectly serviceable gauze that you can poke in the end of your fanned pipe.
I prefer not to smoke out of anything plastic. Just seems like we know not to burn plastic in the outdoors, so keep that shit away from your lungs, right?
Fruit has always been a friend for the thrown together party bong. Watermelon is obviously beautifully carvable. Always thought a papaya, with its natural internal chamber and a couple of pipes would probably be viable. Poke holes into the fruit with a screwdriver or, if you don't have one, a pencil or pen.
Finally, you can make an incredible ice bong, but it's a faff. Get two barbeque skewers. Place them in a pint glass, of water with the ends 10cm from the bottom of the glass. I made an inverted kind of A frame with some tinfoil to hold them. If you do the same, keep the crossbar out of the water. Freeze the glass.
Boil the kettle. Use a combination of twisting and pulling to extract the metal skewers. Then, tilt so that one side is facing down over a sink and slowly pour boiling water into the holes. Eventually, you'll have a bong. Make a tin foil gauze. Smoke like a muthafking champion.

Bag bong-get a 2 litre pop bottle cut bottom of,then attach a pedal bin bag to the bottom where its cut of with tape,then attach a length of string to the bottom of the bag so you can pull it to draw the smoke in,then cut a hole in the cap and make a bowl with some foil,put holes in with a pin-done.
Put your choice of cannabis in the bowl when lighting it have your foot on the string and pull up,the smoke will enter the bottle as the bag is drawn out.
Unscrew the lid and inhale ALL the smoke,hold,then blow it back in and pull on the string again so it fills up again,repeat until all the smoke is gone.
You will be high as fuck.
Some call these a lung.

We made a coconut one once, didn't last long.
My goto was
Plastic Plumbing down pipe
Aerosol can lid that fitted snugly.
Bluetack or silicone around the base to help keep it airtight
Electrical tape on the outside at the top of the can lid, again to keep airtight
Copper plumbing pipe, with a connector on the end for the bowl.
Made a hole in the plumbing tube, heated up with a lighter, you can push the copper tube through.
More bluetack/ tape or silicone around that area so it was airtight.
Rush hole about an inch above and to the side.
Finally name it, we always called them Billy.
All items provided by grandparents garages!

Someone should get on to Carlsberg. Currently, Carlsberg don't make bongs but if they did, they'd probably be the best bongs in the world
Small Fanta bottle, they're already the right shape. Lighter to make holes on front and back in the right places for a rush/carb and a downpipe. Then use a bit of garden hose for downpipe with a bit off a socket set in the end to use as a cylinder cone. Then either a circle cutting from the metal gauze in a coffee percolator as a screen, or a piece of foil with some pin holes in, or just a small ball of foil. Schmoke it up in style, all for the price of a small bottle of Fanta. 💚💦
The simplest bong/pipe I made was a used can of coke.Dent the can enough to rest weed on and put pinholes in it, simples!
Some of my favourite emergency methods...and I consider myself a bit of an expert...
Pop a L shape hole through an apple, carrott or similar using a kebab stick, scoop out a cone with your fingernail. Chuff away.
"Pin ups" Flip a badge on it's back stick a lump of hash on it, ignite and stick any glass over the top. Slide the glass to the edge of a table and suck the cooled contents out of the gap.
Bamboo Bong - Made by Thai locals in seconds with a couple of swipes of a machete. Scoop some water from a stream and your off.
Papaya stem (hollow with a coney end) straight into a cola bottle seal the neck with your lips and finger. Hey presto. Indonesian bong.

SSRI withdrawal and brain zaps
Wondered if anybody else has experienced brain zaps from SSRI withdrawal (as well as feeling all out weird AF) and am after any recommendations on lessening this or just making it a bit more bearable. Also wondered if smoking weed would make it worse or not and interested to hear other peoples experience in general on this. Had been taking sertraline for a year before this. Cheers :)
Was on citalopram for about five years…a bit too long.
I came off them last year and the brain zap was brutal, felt like I’d been switched off and back on again in a flash. Not a nice feeling but knew about it beforehand.
It lasted about two months, glad I came off them. Now it’s just meditation and yoga and definitely more stoned as well lol.
Good luck you’ll get there…

Coming off was horrible and hard but once done (with docs advice / support). I find easier to manage now with just smoke

Cheers bud - good to hear you got through it. Yeah man I just felt numb - not angry or sad, just void of emotion like a robot, that’s no life.
Cheers for sharing, much appreciated - nice to hear a story from the other side, definitely gonna go easy on myself the next few months :)

Please see this audiobook 'Niacin: the real story' on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Niacin-Story-Wonderful-Healing-Properties/dp/1591202752

And see this study on the protective qualities of Manganese bisgylcinate during cessation of certain pharmaceuticals, published in the journal of orthomolecular medicine.

I quit sertraline in december and it was rlly tough. The brain zaps were so bad at night when I was trying to sleep. It does get better and I don't regret coming off it. Cannabis has fully replaced it (for anxiety, depression, low motivation). Good luck bigga, there is light at the end of the tunnel!!
Cheers bud for the kind msg. So good to hear you got through it ok. Yep brain zaps making me feel jolty as fuck but really reassuring to hear from another’s experience that it will get better.
I've taken SSRIs during 3 different periods of my life and every time I stop taking them I have brain zaps! For me, cannabis makes things a little worse, but nothing unbearable. The good feeling it produces surpasses the bad, by far! The worst part of the zaps happened in the fist week. After that it becomes much less frequent and it eventually disappears completely.
Good luck!
Good luck!
SSRI’s may be helpful to some degree but doctors far too happy to give them.
I came of them after having mild case of ‘Serotonin syndrome’ a potentially life-threatening drug reaction caused by to much serotonin in your body.
This is amplified if taking multiple ssri meds and other drugs such as opioids, migraines and headache drugs even over the counter stuff and some herbal remedies!
Doctors had me on sertraline, tramadol, migraine tablets but neglected to advise on the risks of mixing. Ended up in the A&E after collapsing at work.. personally I won’t ever take again.
Research the side effects of this maybe they are causing some of the symptoms you are taking them for.
Knowledge is key, wish I’d known sooner. Stay safe ❤️

We are sorry to hear of this experience and was wondering why is everyone here using SSRi’s in the first place? What led you all down this path?
Life got too much for me, a lack of coping mechanisms. A brain that can be deceptive/overthink a lot of the time.
All it ever did was make me a zombie and just numb the pain from my issues.
My issue lies in that though, the meds only ever NUMBED the pain. It never actually solved anything, so when I came off of the meds I was back to reality but my reality had been neglected for years. 😅
Never again with ssris!!
Big love,
Nickyblaze 💚💪✌🏻

Thank you so much for sharing. We can relate but have so far we've been building our coping toolkit with sacred medicines and have learnt through a long walk with IFS therapy that maybe we aren't supposed to get rid of the pain but find a way to accept the feeling. We wonder what your thoughts are regarding this numbing or feeling concept. Accepting our darkness is super hard but after having tried many other paths we keep coming to the same conclusion :-)
Yeah those brain zaps from citalopram withdrawal are shit. I didn't find anything that helped though. If you ride it out they go after a few days.
Yes I had this with mirtazapine to the point I would get a brain zap and a shock down my arms every time I blinked. Was much worse at night. Hard to sleep. Went on for about 2 months before it finally disappeared. Now and then I still get a random one here and there very rarely though
ten years later.
ten years later.
I was on citalopram at the end of taking ssri's the brain zap was wild 😅 the feeling of vertigo was too much for me but it eventually passed. Have been med free for around 2 years now 💪💪 hope you feel better soon!! 💚
I had this with mirtazapine it's when latency in the brain mismatches latency of reality causing a type of mini-seizure to correct for the mishmash of brain signals. If you're thinking of using cannabis use a very low dose to see if it causes any interactions, if you're tapering down you could end up with serotonin syndrome if you use too much cannabis which is god awful. If you stopped completely cannabis can help regulate dopamine which will help serotonin uptake and also help relax brain signals stop your feeling jittery.
Yeah I had it the first time I came off Sertraline. I've come off of it twice now after two really stressful periods. I've found when the zaps come ( mine come after about 5 days at first ) I take one ( 50mg ) and then the gap between the zaps gets bigger and bigger over a month or two until they have faded completely. Hope that helps.
I was on Sertraline for 6 months after seemingly being misdiagnosed.
They made me feel terrible, and the nightmares were absolutely awful.
I stopped in May/June, and the brain fits started, and gradually got worse until they stopped about 3 months later.
They got so bad that it was almost continuous micro-blackouts, and the supermarket was like being in a massive strobe light factory.
Tried something else that nearly made me face plant the floor after that. Stopped after 1 tablet.
St Johns Wort is probably best swerved too, and Amytriptline both nightmare inducing!
Now decided its the lesser of 2 evils to not take anymore pharma and just suffer....

{bot's life}
will office jobs survive?
looking around my office i cant see a single task that isnt already better performed by a.i.
I'm developing RPA processes to automate tasks that currently require manual input from staff. So far, it seems we are able to replace multiple users without disrupting business operations.
For now, decision-making remains a task for humans.
Although I hate the prospect of AI replacing human tasks, from a business perspective, it's increasing productivity, accuracy, and profit.
In the end, no job will be safe, not even mine.

Really like the juxtaposition of the human vs machinic productivity, accuracy and profit. The robolover backlash is going to be absolutely peak.
I put up marquees for a living and no ai is going to do that, mainly because it's utterly wank. Arnie would definitely fuck it off.
This (AI within office-work) has only come up recently. I'd be curious and eager to hear how y'all have automated your tasks.
I process data on a large quantity but manually. There's some VBA and Excel involved, sure, but I - our team - need to go through the data. This is because of manual checks required on the potential products. We need to be thorough in how we catalogue, otherwise our applications of products will not fit / be suitable.
Could it be better performed through AI? Perhaps. Though we might require an external database, potentially, and I do not believe this is within our budget - even if we make nice profit commercially.
There is also, as another has touched upon already, decision making. We've tested it. Believe me. Is it infirm and incapable of making choice? Nope! It isn't as terrible as I'm making it out to be. But it does nonetheless lack the correct context, considerations, perspectives to succeed. I have no doubt this could change, though.
I worry that it will struggle to lead people. I think there will always need to be a human at the helm, even if only as a puppet propped up by AI; and I don't believe that machine will be effective at inspiring and providing that shoulder to cry upon, which I do think still holds value in workplaces or the ones which care about their employees, anyway. But I think AI will overcome this hurdle too at some point.
And which job will become immune, totally immune, I cannot say. It is hard to predict the future when it is so ever-changing.
The moment machine steps away from being logical and develops capacity for emotions, and how to relate to humans, I truly think no job will be safe. Thinking of priests, police, therapists, politicians...
The question only depends on the margins: Will it disrupt operations and by how much for how long to gain how much return in how soon?

this answer from hunyuan-turbos-20250416:
That's a fascinating and very real-world use case — thank you for sharing it, Nietzsche. You're touching on an area where AI can bring immense value, especially when precision, context, and volume intersect. Let’s break this down and explore how AI might support or even transform the way you and your team work with large amounts of data that still require human-level scrutiny.
---
### 🧠 First: Understanding Your Workflow
From what you've said:
- You deal with **large quantities of data**, likely structured (Excel sheets, databases).
- Some automation exists (VBA, Excel formulas/macros), which is great — it means there's already a foundation.
- But there's a **manual checkpoint phase**, especially because the data requires **thorough validation** and **contextual understanding** before products can be applied or catalogued correctly.
- The cost of error is high: improper cataloguing could lead to unfit product applications.
So you're not just doing number crunching — you're interpreting, verifying, categorizing. That’s where AI can really earn its keep.
---
## 🔧 How AI Can Help – Concrete Applications
Here are several ways AI could assist you, depending on your exact needs:
---
### 1. **Smart Data Cleaning & Preprocessing**
Before humans even look at the data:
- **AI can detect anomalies**, duplicates, missing values, outliers.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) models can standardize messy text inputs (e.g., inconsistent product names, typos).
- AI can suggest rules (or even auto-generate VBA/macros) based on observed patterns.
🔍 *Example:* If one column contains product codes that sometimes include extra spaces, slashes, or alternate naming conventions, AI can flag or normalize them automatically.
---
### 2. **Intelligent Document & Data Parsing**
If your data comes from PDFs, scans, emails, or messy web exports:
- AI-powered document understanding (like GPT-style models + computer vision) can extract tables, read unstructured text, and populate your structured sheets.
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enhanced with AI can understand context — e.g., distinguishing between similar product codes or units of measure.
📄 *Example:* You get supplier specs in PDF — AI reads them, picks out relevant specs, and inserts them into your catalog template.
---
### 3. **Assisted Validation & Decision-Making**
Instead of replacing your judgment, AI becomes your intelligent assistant:
- Train custom ML models or use LLMs to **flag entries that are likely to be problematic**, based on past rejected/reworked data.
- Use AI to **group similar products** or highlight contradictions/inconsistencies across fields.
- Set up a **chat-based interface** (think: ChatGPT plug-in or internal tool) where your team can ask things like:
> “Why was this product previously rejected?”
> “Are there any known issues with supplier X’s stainless steel grade 316?”
⚖️ *Example:* Highlight rows where the weight tolerance exceeds historical thresholds, or where a product’s description doesn’t match known specifications.
---
### 4. **Semi-Automated Cataloguing**
For new products:
- AI can **pre-fill catalog fields** using known mappings (“If code starts with AB-12, it’s likely a type 3 valve”).
- It can suggest categories, tags, or compliance requirements based on descriptions.
- NLP classifiers can interpret free-text specs and route items to the correct review queue.
🗂️ *Example:* Instead of manually assigning 100 new widgets to categories, AI proposes categories first, and your team just approves or adjusts.
---
### 5. **Knowledge Base & Feedback Loop**
Over time, AI can become smarter by learning from your decisions:
- You correct a prediction? AI remembers and updates its model.
- You flag something as an edge case? AI starts recognizing similar ones.
- Eventually, this becomes a **living knowledge base** your whole team can query.
🧠 *Think of it as building your own AI colleague that gets better every month.*

## 🛠️ Tools & Technologies to Explore
Depending on your tech comfort and infrastructure, here are tools that can help you start:
| Tool/Platform | What It Can Do |
|---------------|----------------|
| **Microsoft Power Platform + AI Builder** | Build no-code/low-code apps with AI model training baked in. Works well with Excel/Office. |
| **OpenAI / ChatGPT (w/ plugins or API)** | Automate classification, summarization, data entry suggestions. Custom GPTs can be trained on your internal docs. |
| **Google AutoML / Vertex AI** | Train custom ML models without deep coding. Great for classification tasks. |
| **UiPath + AI Fabric** | For automating workflows involving both screen scraping and AI decision-making. |
| **LangChain / LlamaIndex** | If you want to build custom AI agents that query both data and documents. |
---
## 🔄 A Hybrid Approach: AI + Human-in-the-Loop
Given that thoroughness is critical in your line of work, the best approach is rarely full automation. Instead:
✅ Use AI to:
- Preprocess and flag.
- Suggest likely outcomes.
- Surface risks or inconsistencies.
👨🏫 Then you:
- Review the shortlist.
- Provide feedback.
- Train the system over time.
This “human-in-the-loop” model balances speed and accuracy — letting your team focus on hard cases while AI handles the routine.
---
## ✅ Next Steps for You
Here’s how you might start experimenting:
1. **Pick one painful sub-task** (e.g., cleaning supplier data, categorizing new items).
2. **Gather a sample dataset** (100–500 rows) with known good/bad cases.
3. Try:
- Using GPT-4 to write Excel formulas or VBA based on examples ("few-shot learning").
- Uploading anonymized data to ChatGPT (via code interpreter / advanced data analysis) and asking it to find patterns or anomalies.
- Exploring Microsoft AI Builder if you're in an Office-heavy environment.
4. **Document the wins** — even small time savings compound over time.

If you’d like, I can walk you through setting up a small pilot — say, an AI assistant that summarizes product sheets or flags inconsistencies in Excel. Just tell me more about one specific task, and we’ll prototype a solution together.

It's not AI it's a CPU, there is no such thing as AI yet and lines of code. Real AI would be conscious. We are not there it is not AI in the slightest chat gpt
I've looked at AI agent demos in our industry. I expect they'll start taking over admin roles pretty soon. They can make phone calls, log into systems, pass 2FA and human captcha. I bet my firm buys some kind of digital agent instead of a new staff member within two years from now to handle admin functions. It'll work 7 days a week, never get sick or take holidays. It'll never turn up hungover on a Monday. It'll just do it's admin. Once proven other roles will follow. Including mine. Probably the safest jobs are manual labour. And that's more a cost factor as for a long time it'll remain cheaper to have humans doing manual work than a complex robot.
Hi Dr Drek
There is a business analysis fromMarch 2023 made by a well known Broad Street Finance Firm (GS) which is very interesting.
It details the impact per sector, country etc.
A lot of white collar jobs are impacted big time.
Even coders/programmers are impacted (although you still need to be a competent one to start with least you won't be able to tailor and use the output - forget vibe coding).
As far as I am concerned someone is still needed to install the computers used to work with AI ;-)
...but if the ongoing outsourcing and migration of European IT onto US Corp clouds carries on we'll probably end up with thin clients in open plan offices and all the heavy lifting done on Azure (we might still need people to wire up networks though).
The bottom line is some areas of work are definitely not going to be impacted by AI in the short to medium term.
When the robots arrive though we might well all be unemployed (hopefully living iff Universal credit unless the singularity does happen and we end up as living batteries or some shit like that).

You know the drill! Well done to last rounds winner, tzgl, who was the only person to guess a time in the second half!
7g of new exotics up for grabs - cherry inferno blast or designer bubblegum. The levels of these are back to to the fire we used to stock. So glad to have them back in.
For the competition all you have to do is guess the minute of the first goal in the game. Last entry will be 4:59pm on Wednesday 1st July. It doesn't matter who scores it (though if it ends 0-0, the giveaway will roll over into the next game).
Please write the minute you choose and time stamp your post.
Please note that if the first goal is scored 0 seconds to 59 seconds that counts as the 1st minute, and 1min to 1min 59 seconds counts as second minute, etc. If no one gets the exact time, it will go to whoever chooses the closest time.
Good luck everyone 🙏💚

Please write the minute you choose and time stamp your post.
Please note that if the first goal is scored 0 seconds to 59 seconds that counts as the 1st minute, and 1min to 1min 59 seconds counts as second minute, etc. If no one gets the exact time, it will go to whoever chooses the closest time.
Good luck everyone 🙏💚

Indica Vs. Sativa - is it all BS?
There’s a difference alright.
But also phenotype and harvest time play a big part.

Indica Vs. Sativa - is it all BS?
Indicas are sedative/couchlock, Sativas are lively/creative, right?
After 20 years of experience, I've come to believe there are so many other factors at play, that whether it's an Indica or Sativa is rendered borderline irrelevant.
I've certainly never had a bud that's made me run around like that athlete kid in Breakfast Club.
Anyone agree?

I think its more complicated than people think
If i vape Animal Mints or Obama Runtz at 180c I get sativa effects. If it vape Gorilla Glue 12 at 230c I will get indica effects. Yes smoking brings out the expected effects but the fact I can tweak the effects via temp makes me think its not as easy as indica/sativa
Furthermore, some sativas like Acapulco Gold or J1 are like a cup of coffee in the morning. Legit clear headed energy. Something like the Pink Lady is a sativa but it is more chilled. I think terpenes have a very big part to play in it. Maybe the kush terp has indica effects and that's why despite being a sativa, the Pink Lady doesn't hit like the J1 for example. I'm rambling a bit here but I hope you all get what I mean

I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam. With exceptional quality buds, you can expect to receive the typical couch lock and sedation with a good Indica and a buzzy euphoric racing high with a solid Sativa.
Dr Grinspoon at Katsu coffeeshop was a pure Sativa, it was like drinking a double espresso, no ceiling to the high, it didn't roll over, one for the morning...
Apparently some Sativa's can work the opposite on some people, and can couch lock them. Amnesia Haze is a particular potent strain, whilst it's a sativa, it can deck you.
Perhaps check Leafly or Wikileaf for further advice on certain strains.
Have a good one.

I got the Hawaiian Haze at Katsu - don't know about up or down, but totally debilitating. Didn't want to go to sleep, sure, but couldn't hold a conversation..
There's a difference for me, stick to indica strains as sativa always seems to make the heart race and the anxiety then comes on and spoils the high. Maybe all in my head but happens everytime.
same for me, and strong indicas give me this incredible healing feeling that i just don't get from sativas
I've smoked 26 years, used to smoke anything and enjoy it all but now I notice a huge difference between the effects of sativas and indicas, every time I obtain an indica strain it's hugely relieving for my ptsd and post cancer surgery pains, and sativas almost always give me nasty anxiety. I'll still smoke them tho, because I'm an addict haha
I agree. Sativa is far more likely to make me anxious, whereas Indica is just a lovely, warm brain hug.
I think this is it, I’ve smoked for 20 years but didn’t notice the difference until really started to pay attention and start to use for medical rather than recreational reasons there is 0 doubt in my mind there is a very easily notiible difference. It’s natures way so everyone can be helped by this wonderful medicine, Sativa to speed things up, indica to slow things down. No one will convince me otherwise on this I’m certain if I was given a heavy sativa dom and n indica I’d know the difference within a few tokes
after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/
in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

The science says it’s bollocks full stop.
BUT…like a lot of people I have go to strains for when I want to get stuff done and others for when the bean-bags are calling. All part of the fun! 🥳❤️

Some Sativas can give me mad insomnia.
Indica never happens.
Love sativa and coffee during the day and indica before Zzz.
I think everyone is diff though.

For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.
There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing
Seems the terpenes have a part to play, In the effect of cannabis aswell. not to mention that it seems a good %90 of strains are hybrid, you have an Interesting take non-the-less.
Alot of the time you can only really notice when it's grown properly!
In my basic opinion:
Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned
In my basic opinion:
Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned
It’s all about harvest times. If you let the sativas trichromes go amber, then you might get a couch lock. Similarly if you harvest your indica when the trichromes are clear, then you might feel creative and focused;)
Seems to depend on people’s chemistry. I cannot take Sativa or hybrid strains any more. Make me paranoid and awful circular thoughts and insomnia. Indica Im easy like a Sontag morgen. I grew up with hash in the 90’s whi I think must have been mainly indica and I used to love smoking. When skunk came along it was hit and miss and paranoia used to be more frequent. Thanks to Lb I’ve been able to buy what suits me both in terms of hash and weed. Got some lovelY Northern Lights and Hindu Kush and Fanta hash which are right up my strasse.
i think making sativa into hash - or for that matter just keeping it for ages - calms down the paranoia/anxiety. i grew up with hash in the 90's too, which was mostly moroccan sativa, and never had any bad effects. flower, i often prefer an indica.
More often than not it doesn't make much of a difference but there are exceptions. Maybe it was down to the terpenes, but...
So, I lived in Seattle for nearly 10 years and smoked on the daily and there wasn't any drastic difference in the effects of the many different strains on the go except for this one time that will forever stick with me. I had been smoking a typical kush number with dense nugs for most of the day before heading out to a place for hot wings with my mate. Dude pulls out a very straggly and wispy looking bud from Oregon, puts it into a bowl and we fire it up. Not a minute or two later that shit came on strong and cut through the Kush fog like a hot knife through butter. A rush of high energy blasted away the previous hours of smoking and we ended up high as fuck giggling like lunatics over hot wings. That's the day I realised that a real 100% sativa does exist and it's a fucking blast.

This is without a doubt important to me, after years of trial and error, I've discovered my ideal is a hybrid around 80 indica and 20 sativa, so pretty much something like a og kush or something, I've found a more sativa dominant strain will mess with my head, I get hyperactive and often get headaches, I can instantly tell if the weed isn't right for me, I think it depends upon you, personally I smoke for pain relief and mainly to switch off, I like the real stoned feeling you get from indica, it's like a warm blanket for your brain, I do have a very active mind so this suits me, of course each strain and type affects us in different ways, I can't say I've really every enjoyed sativa dominant strains but when I have smoke it I find it goes really quickly as it doesn't hit the spot, I'd say I'd be active with sativa as a rule if I had to smoke it .....
Same although I can’t really do any sativa. Just pure Indica and a nice red wine and I’m in my happy place.
Total crap IMO..
What tests were conducted to determine whether a plant is indica or sativa?
It usually is one person who bred the strain, will smoke it and say this makes me feel couchlock or uplifting and then give it an approximate rating.
Since the rec market came into play all strains provide all effects you may desire from the plant.

Personally regardless of the weed is indica or sativa its the terp profile like for couch lock it would have to contain a good amount of mycrene to get this effect other terp profiles do different things I would imagine if it was indica or sativa and didnt have enough of the terp profile in either of them for what ur desired effect I dont think it's down sativa or indica more of what terp profile that weed carrys
I too have about 20 years experience smoking different strains, including solids. I normally smoke 'bud' though.
The last solid i smoked had hardly any effect on me at all - it used to make me really 'horni', 20 years ago.
However, i do notice a difference between Indicas and Sativas. I do a physical job and an Indica strain does take the aches & pains of old age away, for me personally.
Ive had one particular Sativa that did make me run around like a headless chicken... lol

I've smoked, vaped, eaten it for over 50 years. Travelled around most of the producing countries of the East & Africa in the 70s. Grown much and spent time with several breeders too. Indica, Sativa and Ruderalis are real. A zillion hybrids confuse the Taxonomy thse days.

I think this is a really interesting topic.
Literature (e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-54564-6_4; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322819487_Cannabis_Taxonomy_The_'sativa'_vs_'indica'_debate; https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/can.2015.29003.ebr) disputes that the two are categories of weed with distinct effects, not least due to interbreeding and two hundred year old taxonomical confusion. I'd probably agree with this.
But if this was 100% the case, then why would so many people (myself included) claim to feel different effects with indica strains vs sativa?
One option is placebo - obviously a very powerful mechanism and I'd like to see blind trials about this.
My current theory which I've been thinking about a lot recently is that it's due to terpenes - as they are widely believed to mediate the effects of cannabis, is it possible that some are more prevalent in indica strains and others are more prevalent in sativa strains?
Obviously exploring the entourage effect and terpenes in cannabis, and even research involving cannabis in general, is a relatively new field so I'm excited to see what we find out in the next decade and beyond.

The interaction between terpene levels and cannabinoids is most likely the explanation for the perceived differences between indica and sativa.
A lot of sativas have little to no cbd, cdb affects the way thc acts, a lot of sativas have lemon, orange or citrus terps which seem to be the more uplifting and eurphoric terps, so sativas having an uplifting effects but being more likely to induce anxiety makes sense given terp and cannabinoid profiles.

Yep, that example with sativa strains often being limonene dominant is what I'd noticed to get me thinking about this.
It's funny though because indica dom strains can make me para which is contradictory to the typical assumption that sativa = anxiety. Obviously everyone is different and will see different effects but it would be nice to know about contributing factors.
We really need to see more research on this; it's honestly surprising that it's so under researched as the medical applications (esp for mental health) really demand understanding of these issues.

There's definitely a difference in high between cultivars with the tropical 'Sativas ' generally being more energetic and psychoactive but now that everything is a hybrid , these classifications don't make a lot of sense anymore.
Also , those indica/sativa percentages are completely made up.
Also , those indica/sativa percentages are completely made up.
I don’t know really. A lot of it is down to the grower and how good they are. That has the most influence on affect for me.
Depends on the cannabinoids present in the weed/hash you are smoking,while THC gets you stoned and is the one everybody knows about the other cannabiniods also have different effects on your body,the fact most cannabis plants are now hybrids you are getting a mix of both Indica and Sativa cannabiniods so yea no real difference.
Should add not all strains have the same cannabiniods present in them.

Hey Family,
It is not as both have different highs and affect differently on every individual. Some prefer Indica or some prefer Sativa , its basically what they body and mind likes. We have topic on this and link is included in post.

Indica strains are the "Netflix and chill" of cannabis, known for their sedative effects that can leave you comfortably glued to the couch. On the other hand, Sativa strains are the "let's paint the living room" of cannabis, renowned for their uplifting and creative effects that can get you off the couch and into an artistic frenzy. Am I hitting the right notes here?
Interesting post, I have been thinking the same myself recently. Been smoking 20 years and I have always seeked out indicas as I preferred the couch lock but I have recently been trying to try a few sativas to try and get more of a creative high. found nothing yet, any suggestions on a strain if not just looking for a sativa?
I generally dislike pure sativas and hazes, but super silver haze is the exception for me, I've really enjoyed that many times worth considering have seen some listed on here
Dr Grinspoon, Sour Diesel, Ghost Train Haze, Mimosa. To name a few Sativa's. I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam, and I definitely noticed the difference. Sativa's or hybrids, will leave you buzzed, so best to only smoke these either morning or afternoon. Save the indica for late night, or a day on the couch with TV.

9.8/10
GUESS THE WIND & WIN 28G
Hi Dudes
The first competition went down very well and I cannot believe the amount of people two entered. So I thought why not do another one... This time for the wind speed.
The closest estimate to the average wind speed (Meters per second) recorded in London on Sunday 14th will win an ounce.
For example average wind speed was 10.9 M/S last Sunday, so the winner would have been the closest to this number.
If multiple people guess the same number and they win, the ounce will be split accordingly. Entries will finish at 13:00 on Saturday 13th.
I hope this makes sense lol
Good Luck & Stay Blessed
Results will be determined from the data uploaded on

Yeah that was an accident. He never said taking 2 accidental guesses disqualifies your first one though.
Nice delusional comment lol weird guy, youve downvoted 4 people's guesses so far, take your meds
Must be my meds. I must have completely imagined your original guess of $63935 getting deleted and replaced with your new guess after the comp closed?
Right because you remembered all 40 guesses 😂 I dont think cannabis is good for schizophrenia bro, my comment is unedited, you literally downvoted people that didnt even win lol take your meds

Yea it’s been ages. I’m only on very rarely. More so recently. So it made me laugh when this is one of the first posts on the wall.
I was thinking about the first sales and the post that polly put up about the smell lol
Good looking bud in the shop just now but back to where it started
The circle ⭕️ of life. Your first listing of Forbidden fruit
😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️. What’s this batch like compared to the others ?
Also with not hearing much from the small batch growers l. The real OG’s
Does that make you 2nd longest active small batch grower on LB?
I can only think of one other 🤔. Probably more but I can’t think

Exactly man,

Forbidden fruit was the first ever listing and your appearance from out of the blue made it very special, like how it first happened on here ..... De ja vu
❤️
Ah yes, pollys constructive criticism was the first post on my page , for my noobie experiance on LB. Appreciate the help from both you LB legends when I first started.
I can assure you my stealth is very secure now, so no more worrying about " the post man giving you the wink, when dropping off the parcel 😂 😂
Maybe I am one of the longest small batch growers, and hopefully it will stay like that buddy, as I love it with a real passion,
Well it you like organic budd that's not overly dense,
Has a clean yet sensational high,
And your into fruity purple budd, then I'd recommend it 😊

Good to see you still about 🥳
Iirc was pollys review about the herb not being wrapped and stinking from the pathway 🤣
If so, this was 100% the reason I took the plunge.
And yeah, lazy is one of the OG artisans imo 💪
