Which hash should I get next?
Biggas, I have just finished two small samples (dry kush and frozensift hiwap from T.H.C)
Both lovely hashes in every way, but I feel I need a little more bang for my bitcoin than the sample sizes give. Pimping out my joints has become a bit of an obsession 🙃 Looking to order a larger amount and had selected a small shortlist of those i have had my eye on to choose from. Please tell me any quality options I might have missed in my browsing and also any smoke experience you have had with these.

Hello my friend, hope you are well
We have just got some very soft "MiG" hash in stock, really nice flavours 👌

To be more than fair you could never go wrong with Eddy's amazing hash lineup.
So I feel abit amateurish suggesting my bubble hash. But there you go

If you're looking for a strong indica hash then you can't go wrong with Sunset Sherbet. I think it is the best value for money hash on LB. Packs a bigger punch than some more expensive hashes on LB.

Ordered alongside the Strawberry Banana from DGT. Lovely bit of hash, but not quite as nice as his Strawberry Banana. Happy with both. Gives lemon haze from DiUK a run for it's money.

Would be if they had an alterntative to 'signed for' delivery.
No idea why vendors think this is a good thing.
I just had a delivery 'tracked 24' which seems to do much the same without me having to sign for it.

glad this was mentioned and couldn't agree more.
Don't even browse LB anymore to find the potent stuff, assuming you're talking about DGT's, he's a legend and people need to stop sleeping on it.
wrote a couple reviews already, makes you feel so chilled no unbalanced feelings throughout. Tried a double filtered from elsewhere (still sunset) and didn't hit. Think it's just DGT's magic

If I may, I had a 3.5 of Lemon Haze hash from Drugs Inc UK very nice indeed. There is an excellent review from a head called tomatoalec which describes it in exquisite detail.

Aw man, haven't heard the term 'head' for ages. Thought of Platoon straightaway when Charlie Sheen is introduced to all the stoners - "these are the heads" (or something like that!)
"And if there's a heaven, and, God, I hope there is, I know he's sitting up there drunk as a fucking monkey and smoking shit." :)
"And if there's a heaven, and, God, I hope there is, I know he's sitting up there drunk as a fucking monkey and smoking shit." :)

One of the all time favourites dude. Had long stoned conversations with an old oppo of mine about Barnes and Elias and right and wrong...the comment I think is " lemme introduce you round some of the heads.."

Dr Green Thumb is the man for hash. I can highly recommend the sunset sherbet oe gelato. the doc always has a great range and amazing service. :D

May I recommend HashLover420. Best hash on LB in my humble opinion. Also got a 15% discount till Wednesday

If you don't mind long shipping times, give Hashishin a go.

the happy 120 from DIUK has fast become my absolute favourite. it hits way above its price tag

Our Cali Imported Bubble Hash is absolutely top tier. Currently smoking on the Glazed Cherries and will no doubt finish the day with the Deathstar x Truffles

I'm interested in trying the various grades of the barz brand hash. Looks like it's made to perfection - some look more like an extract than a hash on the photos. The jungle boys hash also looks incredible. Hope you find a good'en.

Afternoon mate, we have a few different types of hash on the menu.
From commercial Moroccan blondes to the higher end Smugglers farm and Blue Magic Patron frozen sifts ✌️ Have a squiz, reviews speak for themselves!

You have raised the bar high with the hiwap. The static sift is one notch above that from thc. I don’t think the others you have listed will come anywhere near these 2 if I’m honest or will any others except from perhaps Nero right at this moment anyway

I would love to order from Nero, Hash heads or Hashishin but I am rather averse to risking customs right now in my life.
I think the hash is generally overpriced here, if I'm honest but I get it. Static sift has low yield so it goes for high price.

New Vendors
Anybody else having cold feet on new vendors ever since the recent bullshit?
I've noticed a few pop up recently with some nice looking product at good price.
6 months ago the pioneering thing excited me.
Now it just seems like a risk that is not worth it.
Of course this is not the fault of the new vendors, but I do fear said person may be amongst them.
Any biggas relate?

You are wise...
Biggas have to decide on their personal level of risk acceptable to them...
Its now even harder for noobs to break through on here...but we have to look after each other...

Biggas,
Want to try a new hash. Have been thinking about DGT's newer stuff: Kali Mist, lemon pie or melon gum.
Also considering Poundland x3 filter.
Can't decide which, have you tried any?
Or have you tried another new one recently which was a revelation?
Recommendations please.

The Lemon Pie is a good smoke, similar in strength to the Happy 420 which is also excellent. I tried the Papaya Punch, it's nearly as good as the Lemon Pie.I have the Melon Gum on order, cant wait to try that on Tuesday.
DGT is the only place for UK shoppers to shop for hash in my opinion, special delivery included in the price.
I also love the flavour of the Gelato 41 and the Cookie dough, love those blonde hashes with uplifting buzzes, gonna get an order in for those this week also.

As being better than the sherbet.
And the sherbet (DGT) is a good priced smoke.

Gotta go with Hashishin, best hashes I’ve ever smoked, long delivery times but worth the wait! 👌

Hi mate. Thanks for recommendations.
I have had the 73 banana triple filter. It was lovely and well priced for thst vendor. But, I want to try something new.
I like nice hash but there's no way I'm paying 80 quid for 3 grams, even if it was aged 12 years and made by frenchy cannoli himself.
Nice hash isn't cheap, I get it. But it's a novelty to me, weed is ultimately better so the really expensive hash doesn't appeal to me at all.
Plus, you can pick up those hashes in Spain for less than £200 an oz.
Somebody is making an absolute killing, and fair play to them. But it won't be from me.

Hashishin’s store at the moment is rocking!🤩…just ordered a Nepalese Temple Ball- can’t wait!😎

Aww... I want to try so badly.. Ano he has ninja stealth but I just can't face the anxiety of a customs check until a few things in my life change.
I would not hesitate otherwise, and it is only my current employment that makes it too bigger risk.

Doesn’t Hashishin have a perfect record of deliveries getting through?🤞🏼…certainly with me 🤗

He told me 100% and I believe him. It's me really ...I get enough anxiety with normal post coming tbh Polly 🤣

I’m so glad I’ve seen this comment! Been looking everywhere for Nepalese Temple Ball!
Just made my first order with Hashishin 👍

Do drop a line back here when it arrives 🙂 it might make me braver to hear another success story.

Let's wait until it drops, and everyone involved breathes out that satisfied sigh that was held in too long in anticipation of it arriving. My mates have already asked me how many I've ordered. Unfortunately for them, the answer is 1.
Oh, and I know you don't want to pay shitloads for hash, but what I've found myself smoking most from my recent orders from THC23 is the Cali Mountain Farm Blue Dream. They put the price up from $80/3.5g to $85/3.5g between my 1st and 2nd orders, but it's still worth the price point. It stands out most to me from all of the stuff I've had off them recently, but if you can bear to do so, I'd recommend an add-on of a g of the Blue Magic Patrone KY Mint OG x Runtz. I bought it because I wanted it to be not worth the money and I could just dismiss expensive hash as a fad and not for me. Unfortunately I think it is worth it, but obviously as a treat. This is hash that isn't inferior to bud. In fact it's far from it, and deserves to be smoked alone in a joint. Superb in a Dynavap. Obviously YMMV.

Tried a few of DGTs hashes…
And this one is my favourite so far….

Nice smoke mate. Pretty strong get stuff done gear.
Beter than banger and happy 420

Strawberry Banana Hash review
SB Hash from greenthumb is lovely. Clean look, white smoke and a subtle sweet taste.
Potent, more so than the sunset sherbert Hash imo (which I ordered alongside and is also high quality)
Fully recommend if biggas have not dipped their toes on this one yet.

good write up, Essemcee :) I found by leaving it for a week it got alot stronger and great bang for buck!!

Leaving it for a week makes it stronger? What’s going to change in that week? I’ve had hash that is months old and it’s not any stronger than it was the day I got it 😂

Crystal carts or Live Resin?

Crystal carts or Live Resin?
Biggas, recently bought myself a ccell palm pro. It's tiny. Like, almost the size of an ipod shuffle 1.0. I love it, and have tried a trusted cart already with it. Wondering if it is worth taking the plunge on a crystal cart given the difference in price. I have tried a few live resin carts from different vendors, but feel like my live resin 50/50 honeymoon period is coming to an end, as it did with plain old distillate.
Is there a discernable difference between the high from crystal carts and the other type of carts available here?

Thc diamonds are a much purer high than live resin where you get much more of the entourage effect.
For me I only vape carts that have as much of the spectrum as possible, and avoid distillate carts altogether as I don't enjoy individual cannabinoids really.
I prefer rosin over resin though, my vote is for live rosin as one of the best ways to consume weed ever

Isn’t Crystal and Live Resin the same?
It’s a journey, you should try them all….by the time you get to Live Resin at 96% THC you’ve run the gamut. Some people prefer the added terpenes and value of distillate.
I’m undecided…🤷♂️….will keep trying👍

If you're telling me it is so, I would tend to believe you.
I had perhaps conflated crystals with diamonds inside my head.
I find it hard to be objective from product to product because I am convinced delta 9 and other concentrates wreck one's tolerance also.
I am with you on trying them all but bound by the pecunious limitations that most of us are.
I don't suppose anybody can give me a definite answer, but wondered if there is an argument that the quality of the THC compound pre extraction has a nexus to the high with the end product, even when concerned with distillate?
I did really like the rosin carts from SCL I got some early days before they packed up shop. Loved the high, it was much more like a spliff experience compared with distillate.
I mean, I need to have a wee break from using concentrates, but thought it might be worth trying something new after a few weeks off.
Btw, Weedstar carts are a dark horse. Plastic, but work fine. Subtle rosin like taste, but decent high. Comms can be slow, as well as the post but every order I have made has arrived in the end. On the odd occasion I have received a reship on the same day as the original in 1st class after 9 days.

I agree it’s really confusing. Even more so now there are D8, D10 and THC-O vapes as well. Plus of course CBD, CBN etc.
But I think the high might be subjective. Distillate might be the cheapest but it can also be the biggest bang for the buck. I love the mellow easy going creep of rosin- just right for the pub. Pure resin has the most THC content by far and can make my eyes spin😵💫
But they all have added terpenes (or other thinners so that they don’t get blocked) and the quality of these plays a huge part especially with flavour.
So like I say, I really haven’t decided…yet🤷♂️

I just looked- something has gone wrong with his page, they were $60, some of the other prices have gone whack too. I'll message him and let you know...

Millions Hash Review
Folks, I was the extremely lucky winner of the 7g millions pollen competition from Greentech last week.
It arrived the day after I sent Greentech my details, with very adequate stealth.
The feel was almost like putty, which made it extremely easy to roll into a joint without adding any heat. It really was quite therapeutic to prepare.
The taste was extremely pleasant. I hesitate to describe, as I am a parosimia sufferer and have been for 2 years but to me it had a hint of caramel.
The high was the uplifting high I remember from quality hash pre "skunk" days and definitely gave me some nostalgic feelings.
Fully recommend this product if you are a lover of hash, it was a delight and I still have some left. Not for long though.

use three words to describe little biggy

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.

Lol that's poss the best 3 words. Esp goin by the shit that appears in my area as "weed". And the wannabes selling it

You got me.

Fake weed forum....... bring back the old suppliers. Suppliers these days are all crooks.... firstly they get bulk of weed then put it in a tumbler and shake it to take the crystals off the bud so they can make there pillen and dope then the weed gets sprayed with terps to give the buds a flavour again. This is why the dope is dearer than the weed... absolute scams going on here. People need to wake up and start refusing this poison on here these days. There is a handful of sellers that are legit but 95% on here is selling fake thc grass... all its doing is making people sick

How to decarb live resin for carts? Advice needed!
So, I’ve just done a little experiment trying to decarb live resin badder to get it ready for a vape cart. Went for a low and slow method I had read about. Not sure how well it worked to be honest. Put it in a little sealed jar in a precise low temp oven. Set at 65c for 48h. Gave the bottle a little shake a few times and popped it back in. Never opened it whilst still warm. Just managed to get most of it out of the jar and into the cart with a glass syringe… slightly frustrating process but got most of it in. Has anyone got some advice or a better method?
This was an experiment as I’m hoping to make rosin carts for myself when I’ve made my press.
This was an experiment as I’m hoping to make rosin carts for myself when I’ve made my press.

I usually decarb in 5ml jar around 45min for 230F. Im waiting until there are only a few bubbles then i let it go next 2 minutes and then its done. Im using same method for gummies and carts and it works always fine. But i have only 0.5ml carts due to clogging.

Thanks for the response man. What describe there seems to be the standard process. I’ll try that next time. Just had a few blasts on the cart I made and it tastes great. Potent too. So perhaps it worked just fine. Good to try a variety of methods though.

The ideal thing I have found for small batch decarb is the rosin press itself as the temp control is so accurate and you can easily see how it's bubbling.
I read that you were planning on building a press but have you thought about buying one as a donor to upgrade and adapt to your needs as you practice using it.
I read that you were planning on building a press but have you thought about buying one as a donor to upgrade and adapt to your needs as you practice using it.

Ah yes, I had already considered using the press as a heating plate for decarb. Until it’s done I’ve got my little dehydrator.
The thing is that I’m an engineer. A proper one that can actually design AND make stuff. It’s sometimes hard for me to buy stuff when I know I can make it better myself. So I’ve based my design on a very highly regarded pressing cage type design and l will use it in my newly acquired 10ton shop press. I’m going to modify the press so that I can safely tilt it forwards.
I’ve sourced all the materials and have already done half of the machining work. I’ve got a friend who’s going to give me a hand with the temperature controller.

My advice:
1. Hotplate is an absolute game changer for decarb. Don't cheap out though - you need to know the temp settings (make sure you don't get a basic "high/medium/low" plate)
2. Keep the glass syringe and flat tip needle hot. This is way easier with a hotplate. As soon as the material touches cold glass or metal it will thicken and/or crystalise and will be hard to get out of the syringe as a result.
Was 65° for 48 hours enough to totally stop the bubbling?
How did the cart pull?

Thanks for the response dude. I pre warmed the syringe etc and used a 14g needle. I think the awkwardness was just from doing it for the first time. Good shout on the hot plate but I don’t want to spend money on that just yet as my available funds are going towards the rosin press I’m making.
It turned out that my precise oven was not that precise after checking it with an oven thermometer. It’s almost 10c under. Was 48h enough? Not sure. I’m trying another batch this week and will report back. Really keen on this super low temp approach as I want to preserve all the terps.
All this is a bit a practice before trying to decarb my own rosin.
Nonetheless, the cart pulls well, tastes great and hits hard… it’s pure sativa which I’m having as an alternative to distillate. Had three puffs a couple of hours ago and I’m still feeling the bliss.
What temp and time do you use?
Also, my jar was airtight. Does that make any difference?

Having decarbed different bho types many times - I have come to understand that the biggest variable is that some material is more stubborn that others.
Some will decarb at 70° for 24 hours no problem.
Some will still not stop bubbling after 48 hours on 95°.
I always go air tight - this will matter very little if you go above 80° tbf though - you can smell the terps escaping even with a tight lid.
I tend to start at 70° then judge the rate of bubbling from that as to whether it needs to be higher or not.

Thanks dude. 70* is where I’m going to start with the next batch. Using my new oven thermometer this time. It’s GSC live resin badder. I got a nice 25ml Pyrex media bottle to put it in. I’ll report back.

Look forward to your report.
I got obsessed with decarbing last year and bought a mini centrifuge.
The lesson I learned is don't bother trying to make diamonds and sauce out of sugar wax 🙃

I’ve just been eyeing up some very well priced live resin options from Myconauts… very tempted to get some for further experimentation.
This is all part of my quest to be able to make my own rosin carts. I’m building my own press etc. at the moment.

Richmond Sausages?

Richmond Sausages?
grew up with these n have had them all my life - heard some others absolutely hate them?
what do you biggas think of these sausages?

Noooo! Don't eat these bigga! Be kind to yourself, find a nice organic sausage from somewhere and stay with us a while!

You took the words out my mouth. I don’t mean to sound like some crazy woke bastard. Defo not woke. I’m just awake now more than ever. Research this guy Paul Saladino. He’ll blow your mind.

Woke literally means more awake.
Paul Saladino is a fraud who invented the carnivore diet then when it nearly killed him he switched to eating meat and veggies, ie the balanced diet doctors have talked about for years.
Don't listen to Saladino, he's an idiot who nearly killed himself by eating only meat.

He doesn’t just eat meat and I’d never just do that. Got to say though when I stuck close to his diet and ate only meat, including muscle cuts, organs and bone broths, fruit, raw dairy and raw honey I have felt insanely nourished and replenished. I don’t stick to the diet but I try and include it as much as I can in my diet. I can’t help indulging in pasta or bread or cake and desserts I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give my sweet tooth up

"He doesn't just eat meat"
"When I stuck to his diet and ate only meat"
You contradicted yourself there matey.
Is it only meat, or is it not? You can't have it both ways.

Didn’t even realise I’d put that im high af most of the time and I don’t really care that much in all fairness about my spelling and grammar. Ok I’ll go more into detail and correct what I was supposed to say. When I stuck to his diet and ate only meat, fruit, organs, raw dairy and raw honey I felt a lot better than I’ve ever felt in my whole life. Mental clarity great, no brain fog and my energy levels would never dip dramatically, I was sleeping better too.
Edit:
I’ve just re read the mistake I made. I said I did his diet and ate only meat, ‘including’ the above mentioned. I should have removed the word ‘only’ from my explanation and just told you that I followed his diet what is……Meat, fruit, organs, broth, raw dairy and raw honey. Phewww.

I knew someone that worked in the factory that produced these and they told me some thing’s about what they used to do, needless to say I’ve never had Richmond sausages since. I think that was the late 90’s so things might have changed now days but I’m not gonna chance it thanks….! lol

Damn right lovely stuff Rendalls the Scottish butcher does it delivered anywhere in the UK and it's miles better than the Iceland frozen square sausage.

The legal minimum meat content for a product to be sold as a sausage in the UK is 42%. Can almost promise these will be riding that line. I appreciate sausage famously bulked up with rusk or whatever but were not living under rationing these days so choose to avoid.

guys im high as fuck right now (see my other post) but reading all these replies are making me laugh my head off. bigga community is great

Yeah, I hate them, the smell and the taste are boak.
Infact I hate all Irish recipe sausages.

Ultra processed meat Sausages are as bad as ultra processed vegan ones.
Just eat real food that doesn't have a thousand ingredients you can't pronounce. It's not difficult.

Must say, thats a fine profile picture you have there I love that. Bet that was a bat to remember.

This is the most British thing I've seen a richmond sausage post getting all the attention 🤣😂

They have their place. More often than not, it's the cheaper sausages which end up hitting the spot more especially in a butty. Not the best thing to be eating on a daily basis that being said.

Was served some out of date ones in a toad in the hole about 3 years ago and have not touched one since. Butchers sausages or korkers only!

Have you watched the video of man going to buy cigs for the teens look it up funny.

I love a good sausage but don’t buy anything with less than 96% meat content, these are 42% got to wonder what the other 58% is!
Pork (42%), Water, Rusk (Wheat), Pork Fat, Starch (Wheat), Soya Protein, Salt, Stabilisers: Diphosphates, Guar Gum*, Flavourings, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite**, Antioxidants: Ascorbic Acid, Alpha Tocopherol, Colour: Carmine, Casing: Beef Collagen, *A vegetable-based ingredient that helps keep our sausages succulent, **This just keeps them fresh for longer!
I call bullshit on the */**. Don’t eat this shit.

Yeah all the cheap processed meats have a lot of filler which is why they taste so bad compared to a proper homemade sausage or burgers made from scratch.
Sadly a proper butchers shop is a rare sight these days and the ones that are open can be quite expensive these days, it’s yet another way people are getting done over by capitalism.

Mass murder; centuries of child abuse, financial manipulation of countries and its peoples, stifling science for centuries, masses of lies and corruption, manipulating the world, controlling the weak minded, instilling a ridiculous morality onto its followers that only incites hatred and misery

You forgot to include wealthiest, if the Roman Catholic Church realised all it's assets then they could probably eradicate world poverty in a year

All Abrahamic religions are backwards and immoral, imo.
Christian god Genocided the whole planet to prove a point, and the Muslim Prophet, well, look up the age of Aisha when he married her.
We no longer need religion, its just a tool to distract and divide people.

The Catholics needed a pedant on their side not a pendant. Taken literally this position gets a lot easier to defend.

I'm not sure trying to peg any organisation as objectively good or bad is possible, but also fuck the Catholic Church and all they are.

laugh all you like but the basic philosophy of jesus is love and that is exactly what the world needs.

Yet his loudest followers scream at women at abortion clinics, promote violence towards gay people and basically act like 15th century bigots with torches
Doesn’t sound very loving to me, sounds more like a relationship with Ike Turner
Jesus spoke beautiful words but they’ve been twisted and manipulated to spread hate not love by the loudest “believers” as evidenced in every evil act done in the name of Jesus or Christianity
I’m gonna stick to worshipping the truest deity known to man- our lady and saviour MARY JANE 🤣

When have God fearers and followers of jesus christ ever attacked anyone, gay or straight?

God is not democratic or wavering in any way, its his way or the burning pits for eternity he mentions he is a jealous God and if you are two minded then you are not with him

Objectively for its merit orthadox Christianity seems like a good guide to me. The scope of practicing virtue and aiming to overcome vices and sin I can't really think of a more noble cause. I think it's definitely not for the feint hearted and seems we're in an age of hedonism with little to no solid, tangible spiritual values.
Living to a higher power or God has a drastic effect on people in the relms of recovery and elsewhere. I am coming to terms with it as it as a path over the self and see great oppertunity with aligning ones values for a greater purpose and in vitro achieving one's own potential while on this earth.

Probably the most original and though through answer. I myself know God exist but even if he didn't and I just thought he did, everything the bible teaches about morals and character has made me a better person and it does the same with anyone who follows the teachings of jesus christ. Jesus only had 12 disciples and it says in the bible following jesus will lead to ridicule and struggle. Earth is Satan's playground and we are vastly out numbered but when all returns to dust only almighty God will remain.
And saying the church and its various denominations are a true representation of God and all who follow is the same as saying jihadist and the taliban are a true representation of all Muslims and all who follows Islam.

All religions no matter what are just man made ideas and a collection of stories. Stories that were spoken often over a drink and made into whatever you made up round a fire. People needed controlling with a certain fear thousands of years ago and needed a divine leader. I'm uncomfortable with it all. It's all just made up. And to think it is the basis of all wars, man made ideology. Bad work I say

Let's have a look at bit of history:
1) Reconquista of Spain - overcame the previous more liberal Islamic Al-Andalus. Explusion of Jews & Muslims
2) The cultural rape of the Americas - effectively extinguishing the native way of life
3) All of those European wars which were pretty much Catholics vs Prods (Prods as bad as Catholics in this case)
4) More recently - at a time of AIDs and other STDs saying use of condoms 'evil'.
5) Messing up the psyche of its followers by seeing sex as dirty
6) A great place to work as a preist if you don't like adult women and prefer to have sex with under age boys and girls.

If I were a smart man I’d have worded my reply this well haha
Love use of such modern issues caused by the church, generally people seem to think the evil they’ve done is centuries ago, but there’s so much in modern history; in living memory that prevents catholism from ever being objectively “good”

I don't think I've ever heard or seen Widdicombe and not immediately wanted to scrape my eyes out and shove dynamite in my ears.
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh

I don't like Anne Widdecombe at all, but from what I remember from this debate (I watched it a few years ago) she switched from Christianity to Catholoisim because of the amount of hypocrisy in the C of E.
Now don't even get me started on the hypocrisy in the Catholic Church, but I must admit I do somewhat sympathise with the point she was making.
You can't have a religion based upon a book that says "we don't agree with homosexuality" then just ignore that view because it's no longer popular.
It's like the Christian Church is now willing to ignore any of its doctrines just to remain "relevant", and get some likes on Twitter.
If you're going to be a bigoted religion, at least own it.
I'm not really into arguing about religion or politics, and I'm neither religious nor particularly political, but I do have to admit a begrudging respect for any religion that at least sticks by it's dogmatic roots, however ridiculous those roots are.
That's pretty much all I got from Widdicombe that was worth thinking about.
The rest of her nonsense....isn't worth anyone's time.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

All versions of Christianity ignore some parts of the bible because it's not popular. The Bible says not to wear two different types of fabric at once, and to sell your daughter to her rapist, but no Christians are abiding by that. They are all as bad as each other, to pretend like she's calling out hypocrisy by changing from one hateful religion to another is so deceitful, another part of the reason she is scum.

Dunno if you ever saw her debating with Stephen Fry and I think Chris Hitchins or possibly Jordan Peterson at Oxford? Between them they gave her the best fucking she's ever had

Already seen this you don't want to know my take as a Satanic/pagan Witch/warlock ... But i agree with stephen about most things. The part i can't stomach is that The church brag (Or used to) about their il educated followers from africa.. one reason why i returned to the ways of my old english ancestors.. in all things balance and respect for nature and our home.. Ave Lucifer the light bringer and Giver of knowlage .. Ave lilith mother of all witches and reflection of the black sun.

"Giver of knowlage..."
Well that all sounds pretty knowlagabel to me.

XD lucifer before the bible... In Roman folklore, Lucifer was the name of the planet Venus, Also worshiped as a wisdom god.

Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)

this explans it better https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/2020/02/25/lucifer-how-a-decent-deity-got-a-bad-rap-part-1/ and i was never very good at eather of those i was always more creative. XD i'll be the first one to admit i can't spell and my grammer since the net has gone to pot ... XD

There's nothing wrong with having limited spelling and grammar buddy, but I struggle to understand why you would come on here claiming "wisdom and knowledge" given to you by some dark force when you can't even spell the words properly....
I know nothing about open heart surgery, so I'm not going to claim I have "specialism in the field" when it's very clear I don't.
Wisdom has nothing to do with education, but to claim you have wisdom AND knowledge, because you worship the devil...
Yet you can't even spell 'knowledge'...
Sorry. But that needed to be called out.
Spelling and grammar are nothing. Manners maketh the man.
All the best and like I say, each to their own just please don't claim to have superiority in wisdom and knowledge by worshiping anyone, least of all the devil and witches.

i don't worship any deity i work with them and i never claimed they gave me anything. the last part of what i said was just Veting or honouring the witch king and queen ( the male and female aspects of nature) i never claimed anything...

How do banks "create" money?
I know they make lots of it with fees, I can see this shit in my own account but someone tried to explain to me that individual banks can create money out of this air and I didn't understand.

When banks create a new loan they must also create an equal and opposite liability, in the form of a new demand deposit. Meaning when banks loan they create money out of thin air. They simply make it exist.
There is a really good series on YouTube that goes in to great depth about how it all works.

I do indeed. Interesting solutions. Mike's series (if I remember correctly, it's been a few years) doesn't really go in to any solutions to the many economical issues we have, if at all. So this was a nice listen. Ty!

Quantitative Easing.
The ECB have been doing it for years, with no federal reserve at all.
All countries do it to a greater or lesser extent.
The reason the (US) dollar is so popular is they have a federal reserve (gold).
The reason the Euro is failing is it's based upon the German banks and their megalomaniacal desire to control Europe.
There is no EU federal reserve. Only German banks.
When the EU (and Euro) collapses, Germany will be fine, the other 26 member states will fail.
Invest as you will.

Petrodollar is interesting on another topic. What do you think ? It’s funny what is out there that the vast majority of people do not know about in the financial and political landscape. The petrodollar is perplexing to me

Money is just an I Owe U ... it says so on your GBP £ notes ! something like ... ''I promise to pay the bearer the sum of twenty pounds'' .... hmmm? but you are handing over a physical £20 note made out of paper or plastic. BUT it still is an I OWE YOU, because the actual note is a ''promise TO pay'' .. the note is not backed up by gold anymore...back in the day... money was real... now it is just digital numbers on screens, according to my limited knowledge about it. I will keep up with this thread tho, as I would like to hear what others on LB think :)

Banks also "Trade Client" funds in a range of assets from , bonds, to stocks hence why you will receive interest each month or annually on your account; that is miniscule compared to what they generate from trading your funds (which is also why your funds are insured). but there are many aspects to this and variables as i've read below each of which is pretty much true.

"since banks work as the accountants of record – while the rest of the economy assumes they are honest accountants – it is possible for the banks to increase the money in the accounts of some of us (those who receive a loan), by simply altering the figures. Nobody else will notice, because agents cannot distinguish between money that had actually been saved and deposited and money that has been created ‘out of nothing’ by the bank” - Richard Werner

Yes if they say its "in the bank" that's all it takes to do what they want with it - regardless of whether it exists.

Banks literally print money and we are expected to accept it has value when in actual fact there is nothing backing fiat currencies anymore. Used to be that dollar was backed by gold reserves then oil but now its backed by the promise... Basically the whole world is in a debt/credit spiral that will unravial at some point...

The dollar will collapse, thank me later

All began with financial deregulation in the 1970’s . The banks just click some buttons and magic. Then you pay them back, what a business!!!
This is a major cause of inflation. They are putting money that hasn’t been earned yet from the future in todays circulation . That’s why our money 💰 s worth fuck all now. Well one of the many reasons;)

not individual banks! but they do make money lol dont make much sense does it
little ben

yes, individual banks, check out the werner stuff in this thread. basically it's just accounting that makes them book things twice. if it's on a bank's books it is money.

They don't, they make up fiat currency (£, $, € ect ect) just a bar code number to give it a vaule. Money is only something that can be equally treaded fairly ie gold.

Take a look at how the Americans fund things like war etc and how they use the federal reserve and petro dollar, very very interesting

It's depending on the existing customers within the bank actually , so you deposit money into the so called bank but in fact the bank lends it to other people within the banking system and charges interest on that.
Banks are the only ones legally able to create wealth out of thin air , digits on the computer.
For example when you get a loan - digits , but you have return back with interest to the bank Real money from your job , revenue streams.
Circular Banking.

Yes Werner's study explains the double ledger. The implications being that when you deposit your own fiat, what is really happening is that the banks are purchasing security futures from you with promises to pay. The b of e charter actually explains that they cannot and do not lend money or take deposits.

Is this decent for first go pressing
Used 37 micron bags didn't over heat
After curing there was thca crystals developing on the edge
Gona give it a bit longer I have no clue what I'm doing but I need it to budder up a little bit
When fresh out of the fridge it looks a lot more visually pleasing
Strain is ice cream cookies

What temp/time did you press for mate? Was this from fresh flower? It not being jet black is a win in my experience lol. I'm sure it will whip up fine. The colour not being black tells me you probably haven't over heated or overpressed but it is more likely a slight bit of oxidisation in the starting material you used?

Yea starting material was basically black
1 minute warm up to get the hash heated and soft
Then 3 minutes of slow pressing temp was 168 all through pressing
I had a smoke and it was alright definitely something spicy from the mountains somewhere very earthy

was this pressed from cured brown/dark hash? Never had good results with it, but your's looks nice.
Thats why the americans dont use it as a starter material.
Fresh frozen is the way to go for good hash rosin.

I have learned a lot in a short time with pressing I love canna science and I pick it up quick
Will have some high grade rosin carts available at some point

Yeah makes sense mate the only way you seem to be able to get that much lighter colour is with fresh frozen material - but I'd say quite impressive to get such a light colour from something already starting to degrade.
I believe Ali express has a decent press under £100. Been eyeing it up myself ha.

There's one on Amazon for 240
There's been too many times where I've tried to be smart and save money but I just buy some crap
The press I have is f-ing perfect bro zero fault
4x4 plate size too
It's small but so dam heavy

I haven't even weighed it but it's looking ok it's been all mixed up so it doesn't look as beautiful but fresh off the press after 72 hours of curing this is the thca forming

If you used a bag it looks like a blow out. Too much pressure too fast. With hash need to go slow and it won't take as much pressure as flowers do

in the first image it looks like the rosin and hash added back to it? if all that brown stuff came through then it's just melted the hash through the bag

Possibly I'm not ruling that out
I think it's just really fine plant matter there was still a puck left over afterwards
There was a lot of thca to collect that's most of the texture with all lot of very dark terpenes
I only used 37 micron so I wouldn't be surprised if some very fine plant matter went through
I tested some Moroccan wich was softer and contained more hairs and less small matter and it came out a lot cleaner
So I think some of the very fine plant matter did bleed through
I think it's just really fine plant matter there was still a puck left over afterwards

Good hash has very little to no plant material in it.
When you press hash don't go all the way with the pressure, only enough to "sweat" the puck. Increase the pressure very slow. If you see thick dark stuff like that coming out means you over pressed it. You only want the clear yellow or white oils if fresh or darker but still clear if older.
To batter up you need to play around with the tempreture and wisk it up it's very easy.
If you want thca you can just by re press the clean rosin in 20micron bags leaving the white thca powder behind. Better watch some videos to get the idea.

Good luck :)
BTW! I got very fresh weed available if you wanna see how clean rosin looks like when it's fresh. I can guarantee the sour diesel and afghan kush will give you bright yellow white ish rosin on low temps. The most beautiful thing I ever seen :)

I'm no expert but I'd say that looks fine for a 1st attempt. Are you cold curing it then?
Most important question is: how does it hit and taste?

With curing that was my concern on making sure I don't fuck it up
But off the press I let it rest for a bit
Then after that straight into the fridge for 72 hours
Took it off the parchment after that and mixed it all up so it's all the same and can do it's thing properly
I assume that's correct

Jcbus.. I managed to delete topic of Wonkas even after what he did to me and what he sold me and you know what? He never sent me a replacement he was a doing me lies from the beginning. I ever removed dispute and you know what? Yes!!! HE IS IGNORING ME NOW SO I lost my 40 dollars and will never buy from him again. And you dont need to believe me. We are all humans. I made and I'm making mistake but I'm sorry for what has happened. And it won't happen again. Maybe Kid Carti will sell me something at some point. It will be his choice. Even if I fcked at first I said sorry and sorted that on PM. So you might hate me but leave me alone. I have nothing against you Jcbus. Best wishes man

Wedinos test ID, or fuck off. EVERY vendor on site seen the bullshit you tried to start, back up your bullshit with the Wedinos ID. You sent the juice for testing, you said yourself. Good luck with the vendors on Biggy after they've seen what you play at.

Teddy.macpeace speak to him if you really want to see the results and keep your mouth shush and dont worry. I know more sites than this and I have vendors who are still willing to trade with me. Have a good day man. Bye :)

No idea who that is, but you're admitting you lied, didn't send fuck all for testing. You'd be best on those other sites, good luck to any vendor that decides to deal with this nutter. Next he'll say any weed sent to him has mold, or it wasn't delivered. Not to be trusted.

Exactly, for a long time, we have devoted everything we've got to making AGI. It's like we have been programmed to do this all along.

What Strain Do You Dislike?
Hey Biggas. A lot of us share the weed we love on this site so I thought it might be interesting to mix things up and see which strains don't do it for you.
I'll kick things off with Runtz. I like Zkittles and I like Gelato, but for some reason I have never really enjoyed Runtz. I think it's a combination of two good strains that somehow produced a worse one. Just my opinion of course, interested to hear what the rest of you think.

I was going so say mimosa, no matter how good it is, those orange terps remind me of burning rubber. Strange.

So glad I’m not alone in hating mimosa terps. The first time I smelled/tasted it, I genuinely thought the weed was bogus. Like it had been artificially flavoured with something nasty. Then when I got good mimosa it was the exact same terps. Not for me like.
I’d say Stardawg too, just because it was fuckin everywhere and was normally sub par.
I’d say Stardawg too, just because it was fuckin everywhere and was normally sub par.

I like Mimosa for the effect and I don't mind the taste. I am not keen on some of the other strains that taste similar like Tangerine Dream so I can see where you're coming from. Citrus strains can be hit and miss on the terps front.

I think Mimosa is the only strain taste wise that lives up to the hype. 90% of weed tastes to me exactly what it is- heated vegetation. All the “mouth watering “ descriptions completely pass me by…occasionally I get pine bathroom cleaner but heyho…
So I tend not to chase flavours at all and just go for effects, and I love the effects of a good Mimosa. I might have mentioned it😉

I hear you, I’d say I’m less of a flavour hunter too and more just looking for ways to encourage variety. I’ve definitely been let down by mouth watering descriptions a lot, but at the same time been surprised a lot too. I’m not really sure how much truth there is in all this supposed terp nuance either tbh…
What I do know is that I absolutely love a traditional stenchy, skunky, weed flavour. Not even sure what it’s called. We’ve spoken about the vomit vibes before haha, I want that shit! Smells like Mother Nature’s entire raw effluence.

Preach! Innit - where’s the stanky pungent slap in ya face skunk at? Miss it, used to get my hands on some proper stuff about 12yrs ago . Must still be around somewhere

I definitely taste different flavours. And Mimosa makes me sick 😂 Saying that I usually taste weed as it smells until I’ve smoked a couple spliffs. Then it’s hit or miss. Weird 😂 That’s the wonderful thing with Cannabis. The variety is astounding so everyone and their preferences are catered for 😁

Bang on, I’m not into any tangey variants either. I accidentally bought some expensive import bud a few weeks ago that had tangey/mimosa heritage. The bud was clearly excellent in every department, probably well worth the money, but the terps ruined it for me. Just tasted artificial, almost like a nicotine vape or something. Different strokes and all that.

Hate the taste but iv yet to find a strain that is almost comparable to taking codine for feel good factor. I’ll smoke dry straw for that

White Widow
Stuff gives me the shakes and heart palpitations. Had it from different growers at different times, it just disagrees with me.
The Brazilian sativa element is too racy and the Indian indica just melts you. It’s always an intense Indica v Sativa battle.
Usually with hybrids I get the sativa effect then it chills into indica but white widow pummels me with both from the get go and leaves me meditating to the ganja gods with tai chi breathing to alleviate me from the poisonous kiss of White Widow.

I use to get that from ammi I'm already a anxious smoker and amnesia haze was a horrible experience especially cause it was actually decent bud

Anything with piney terps for me - just really reminds me of those car air fresheners 🤮🌲 not a fan. Dunno if I am on my own with that one lol

Lemon Tree is the strain I most dislike. I use to love a good lemon skunk or lemon haze 20 years ago. Not the same anymore.

Super silver haze. Smelled like cats piss and had no body high. Muscles felt restless and uncomfortable.

All 'Haze' are sativa dominant aren't they, so yeah, you get the head high but no body chill. I know what you mean about muscles feeling that way - I get achey neck/shoulders and back and no body chill, and that's with various hybrids.

that's an easy answer ... any that don't get me high (normally not a strain blame, more a grower blame) ... so reckons the jackal 😎😎

Way back I got some free seeds with the seeds I ordered. NYC diesel they were, so I grew them and was so disappointed, it tasted awful. Haven't really gone for diesel since. Have smoked loads of diesel cross.
Everest is another, it's not that I dislike the taste/high etc, but I find if I'm on it for multiple days then it really brings my mood down.

Cookiedawg. Overpowering terps with low potency literally came to little biggy because all i could get was dawg variants round my area.
Shame on all of you for the Mimosa hate ! lol
Shame on all of you for the Mimosa hate ! lol

Haha I fully agree with cookiedawg - one of the most vile tasting strains I've had lol, the terps just don't mix well together.
I also hated 24k Gold - it just made me feel sick the 2 separate times I had that strain.

I got four, and they're all because of the terrible taste -
Tropicana
Tropicana Cookies
Tangie
Tangiesicle
Top two, because I can't stand ones with a pine taste. Second two, because they taste like smoking candle wax
Never been fussed on Zkittles or Dosido either - usually because they're not grow well
Juice 💚 💦

I've not tried the Tropicana strains, but I do agree about the Tangies as I don't get on with the taste of them either.

Tropicana strains when grown well are top tier however in my experience they seem to be hard strains to get right, I’ve probably tried 10-15 different versions of Tropicana cookie/cherry/banana and only 2 of them were really good (but I mean really good) a few of them were alright (nothing to write home about) and the rest were pretty awful with almost no terps and black ash.

I get a vibe from some strains, mainly I’d describe more indica leaning and berry types.
Makes me introspective. Can get dark. But it’s also when you swim in the creative madness of semi-subconscious which when young, or in the wrong place can be no different than a mushroom experience.
Set and setting applies with *all* consumption I think 🤔 but I have a theory that plants also pick up on the vibe of their grower + there is also just a 💩 grow, right?

anything purple for me, i have no idea why and its sad because it looks so pretty but it doesn't agree with me.

i along with alot of people i know dont like how gelato tastes but it always hits you like mad, its usually good when crossed i had gelonade recently n that was great, also had silver haze once and i thought it tasted like having coins in your mouth :(
first time commenting here hope im not just waffling on some ancient thread XD

lemon haze; for some reason can always smell it before i can see it and it makes me instantly dizzy - icl it smells divine sometimes, but i just can't do it lol

Marmite.

Biscotti. Makes me too disorientated.
Update: have tried biscotti again as I was given some as a freebie and this one is a lot nicer, and no disorientation.
My latest is mimosa. Smells like baby sick.

Had some sativa dominant bit a few weeks back that was a grapefruit cross of some kind. Jeez, it was awful.
Another one I don’t like is Gelato.
It’s a palate thing and we’re all different ay.

Number one: stardawg. And all the crosses. People seem to love it, I don't.
Number two: Gorilla glue. It's strong, yeah, but seemingly at the expense of everything else. I've had nice glue crosses though.
Number three: lemon haze. This one's slightly unfair but for ages it's all anyone grew around here so I just don't care if I never see another bag of lemon in my life.
The other one worthy of note is the thin mint. I don't know what they were thinking there.
Anyway, that's me. Other people are different.

At it's best, it is hard to better. I have had some good tasting examples but they are becoming rarer.
The genetics are laden with problems so it is difficult to get the correct pheno from seed. But if you have the correct clone (as is the case with chemdawg) and it is grown and cured adequately, it is a very nice smoke imo.

It's completely possible I've not had the best versions but also maybe just a taste or body chemistry thing where for whatever reason those strains don't do it for me. I'm unlikely to test the theory any further by buying more when there's a myriad of sweeter options at LB that are more up my street. The world would of course be boring if we were all the same.

It sure would.
And of course, you are the best person to judge your own factors.
I have had 2 different lots from different vendors on here, and they were both disappointing.

To be fair to the vendors on here I've not had any of the strains I've mentioned from anyone on LB. There's definitely more exciting strains to me available here so I'm unlikely to backtrack just to make sure I don't like it though.

My gorilla grow of 10 strains that was rumbled contained GG.
Still haven’t had it.
If a good example appears on here-please shout me someone!!
Thanks

We got some fresh zkittlez in. I really dislike haze tho just smells of roach spray honestly . Idk how it got so famous

Never been a big fan of Papaya strains, always got a weird taste to them that doesn’t agree with me.

I don't get the haze hate though I love Silver Bubble / SSH / Arjans Strawberry Haze / Mango Haze / Blue Dream etc

My sense of taste and smell never recovered from COVID so it can be difficult getting the flavour and smell nuances between strains. I can taste and smell the extremes though, crap and amazing. My preference is definitely Indica leaning as I've got older. I don't want to be introspective, going over all my life's choices! A lot of hybrids are fine. Don't have time for hazes.

Ribena - although I love the drink .
The weed strain dosent relate. Didn’t burn well .
Black ash and just a chemical taste

Dislike any orange strains personally. Also not a huge fan of gelato 41. It’s too sweet and lingers on the lips in our opinion. If you enjoy the sweeter strains then probably your cup of tea

Iv not figured out the common denominator but some strains have me feeling I can’t be arsed with anyone or anything in a none good way and like a what’s the point type feeling.
I get it with some runtz not all , had it with gg4 but not gorilla skitz. Its defo not my mood at the time either as I know that gets pointed at a lot

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?

Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.

Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.
The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.
They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.
I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!

I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.

Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?

Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.

I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.

I always thought this, we are taught to be separate and see our differences constantly, great way for a small percentage of people to control us with concepts like "nationalism" and this your "land" blah blah.

Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.

lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?

Are you talking about Arab supremacists like Hamza Yousaf ? I'm unaware of any other racists in Scotland .

a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.

Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Not even Ethno nationalism is racist . You can love your own ethnicity more than others without hating them .

Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real

Nationalism has more positive range for example promoting culture. Racism is usually associated with negative feelings about other races.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.

only in touchy feely places like the uk ... not in most other countrys ... too much self hatred in this country ...

Not synonymous, but it's an interesting point.
In some sense, I think it is an individual and academic choice to be patriotic (even that is turned into a dirty word now), root for your country or be proud of it voxally. It's OK to like your country if you really do. You do live there after all. It's just a country. Other countries are not minorities in their own country as the British are not here.
As you allude to, it is a lottery, not a skill, being British (or Irish for that matter). There is little merit to being "proud" I agree. But it doesn't oppress anyone or anything in itself. It is a way to preserving culture and way of life. You can't pick who you think should be able to do that.
Otherwise, the takeaway is, only the oppressed are allowed to be proud of anything and preserve culture. What kind of world is that?
I do think that no matter what, being proud of your race is pointless, stupid and divisive.
It suggests a nexus between a superiority or exceptionality and racial group.
After all, skin colour is decided only by a few alleles in the genome and indicates very little about one's charachter.

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

I think it is oxytocin that causes the problems as it creates aggressive in-grouping, be it from the innateness from skin colour or the innateness from where someone was born.
There was a study I linked to but there is more out there about the dark side of oxytocin. There was quite a few articles in the dumber section of media about giving men oxytocin to fix their aggression problems when in fact it might be a major factor in causing them.

I'm a nationalist. I want England and all our major cities to be English and not resemble Bangladesh. That makes one a racist nowadays.

If the reason you give for those cities resembling Bangladesh is people of other races, that's kinda the definition of racism. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a closet racist.

The people make the nation. Change the people and the nation changes with it. Very simple concept to understand that is being proved everyday in this country. Natives are being demographically replaced in our homeland, but because we're white native displacement is considered a moral good. Soon British children are going to grow up as hated minorities in their own country. The clock is ticking...

So it's about revenge? Not exactly on to a winner with that argument. 99.99% of Britons had nothing to do with the British Empire. Just say you have an anti-white bloodlust and shut up

no, its just a result of a worldwide empire. i love whites and certianly wont shut up in the face of an ignorant one.

Nonsense answer. It's happening in Ireland as well. They didn't have an Empire and were subjugated by us.

I was just watching this video of Nick Shirley in Ireland . https://youtu.be/WfJggeIw_94?si=53bYT9Vv6eHP90wL

I think Ireland might be in even bigger trouble than Britain. There doesn't seem to be any political representation for them at all.

I think you're right . However , they do community a lot better over there . I reckon they're more likely to fight back sooner . We've already seen it in places like Coolock .
It really is awful what they've done to Ireland .
It really is awful what they've done to Ireland .

I have two lefties in my DMs threatening to post my address and do violence against me because I called out the violence of Islam . These lefties are truly disgusting

The reason certain areas of Britain look like Bangladesh now is because we've let in too many people from other cultures without giving them a chance to assimilate .
I have no hate towards Bangladesh . I'd love to visit some day , but when I go to London , I don't want to be surrounded by Bangladeshis , I want to be surrounded by Londoners and their culture . London is lost now . The culture of London can never recover from the insane amount of immigrants we've allowed to move there . It's very sad for anyone who loves British culture . Of course racists like yourself who hate whites and Brits can't see the problem .

London never had any 'culture'? Means one thing that was ever cultural about London, that you don't see now.

How can you say such a thing ?
Is London the only city that never had any culture ? What about Tokyo , Rome , or Paris ?
Does culture even exist in your world view ?
London used to be the capital of British culture . The British people are the one thing that made London a cultural hub . Those people are being pushed out at an alarming rate . 40% of London are now foreign born . These people have brought their own culture with them . This is why some parts of London feel more like Bangladesh these days .
Bangladesh is a very apt example as It's a region which has recently had it's own culture eradicated by fundamentalist expansionist Islamists . Bangladesh should be a warning to us about the dangers of uncontrolled immigration .
I don't know about you but I love my people . I don't want to see them replaced by people from the third world . I think that would be extremely racist .

Even through that lengthy rant, at no point did you mention any examples of London culture that no longer survive to this day. Why is that?

If you calm down and read more critically , you will see that I offered the British people themselves as the one cultural asset which no longer survives in London . Now answer my questions .

So you don't know. Just say that. British people are not a CULTURAL TRADITION. That and, they are still in London. Your issue is just plain racism, you don't like seeing people that aren't white in your country. Here's a few examples of culture that still exist in London. Pie and Mash, Cockney slang, Shakespeares globe, the museums, the cathedrals, the monarchy. I'd go on, but what's the point. You're a loser Pete. I'm a proud Scottish Nationalist, and we Love our culture, we also love new cultures and people's that have settled in Scotland and consider it home. You know why? Because we aren't like you. We're accepting. We want the best for Scotland, not for Whites, because fuck that stupid bigotry racist shite. You can be Brown, Black, Green or Blue, we don't care, as long as you love Scotland too, and contribute to the nation. Whether that be through paying taxes, or education. People make Scotland. Not just white people. Guess what? The only country that tried to destroy our cultural traditions is now our friends. Well, some of you.
You get racists in every country, the UK is no exception, but the way you talk is frankly disgusting.

British people are ''culture'' because culture is simply the expression of your national character and personality. You live and breathe culture simply by being who you are. Only small numbers of foreigners can be integrated into that. You change the people and the culture changes with it

What a nasty and unfounded rant . You know we can disagree and still be friendly .
My best and oldest friend is half Ghanaian . I love all ethnicities but I have a duty to protect my own .
I don't want to see any ethnicity replaced in their own lands , but I have a special obligation to the replacement happening here .
The British people are the ones who carry the British tradition . The people who replace us will not carry on the culture in our place .
Who is going to be speaking cockney or eating pie and mash once there are no Brits left in London ? The shocking speed of the replacement means there is no hope for new comers to assimilate .
You are being very short sighted if you consider yourself a proud nationalist yet can't see the danger your culture is in .
Are you not shocked that 40% of London are now foreign born ? These people bring their own cultures . At that concentration , they couldn't assimilate even if they wanted to .
How would you feel about replacing 40% of Tokyo with Americans ? Would it still be Japanese or would it ruin the culture ?

So you're best and oldest friend is not your own, because he's Ghanaian? What an absurd view.
"Who is going to be speaking cockney or eating pie and mash once there are no Brits left in London?" why, are all those non whites going to commit genocide and Take Urr Cuntray?
"You are being very short sighted if you consider yourself a proud nationalist yet can't see the danger your culture is in" our cultural heritage has never been stronger, not since you lot tried to destroy our culture by banning our language, banning our kilts, removing us from the highlands, but, we forgave you sad little people.
"Are you not shocked that 40% of London are now foreign born?" I don't understand where the problem is here?
"How would you feel about replacing 40% of Tokyo with Americans ? Would it still be Japanese or would it ruin the culture?" Considering that the Japanese are very western leaning, they still have a fantastic historical heritage and legacy, that will never go away. Just like how Londons heritage is very much alive to this day.
Again, you're just a racist Pete.

I never said my Ghanaian friend wasn't my own . Why are you misrepresenting me ?
He is a very British black man . He also understands this problem . Would you call him a racist for holding the same views as me or does he get a free pass for being black ?
If you replace all the British people with foreigners then obviously the culture will be lost . It hasn't taken a genocide to replace 40% , but violence is certainly not off the table for incoming cultures . Look at what the Muslims recently did to the Hindus in Bangladesh for example .
If the Japanese are replaced by Brits , they will obviously lose their strong culture . This goes without saying .
You're being unreasonable and actually absurd in your denial . It's basic maths . I think I'll leave it there . Please stop calling me a racist without a shred of evidence for it .

If it's the colour of people's skin you're referring to, and you're suggesting you have to be white to be regarded as english, then yes, you are. Not just nowadays, always.

So you deny the English of their genetic heritage ? For you to understand how racist that it , I want you to apply your reasoning to any other ethnicity ?
Are the Japanese , Chinese , and Africans racist for holding these ethno nationalist views or does it only apply to white people ? If you're only applying this standard to white people then you are the racist .
Of course it's possible to be civically British and ethnically foreign , but like any foreigner who moves to another country , we should respect the people we are trying to join . That includes the ethnicity and the culture of the natives . There's nothing racist about respecting the countries that take us in .

English genetic heritage? Which one? The ones that originate from Germania? The Vikings? The Norman's? Your genetic heritage has more influence from other nationalities, not just the Angles. Who were German.

As is true for every single ethnicity on Earth . Yes , we are a mix , just like everyone else , but I don't think you're denying the existence of ethnicity , are you ?

Race is extremely important to the ethnicity of the Japanese , Chinese , Africans , etc .
Ethno nationalism is the norm in the rest of the world .
Do you think the rest of the world are all racist too ?

I had to repeat myself because you didn't address this point the first time I made it . Instead you chose to argue about semantics . I don't think you have an actual argument

You can't engage me on this argument because it would expose your double standard and prove that you are the racist one here .
That's why all you can do is dodge and insult .
That's why all you can do is dodge and insult .

I'm racist because I have no issue with immigration and multiple cultures? That's new. I'm very happy to welcome people who want to make a life here, that want to work and contribute, I couldn't give a flying fuck what nationality someone is, or what skin colour they are, as long as they aren't like you Petey boyyo. You really should reread this entire conversation.

You're a racist because you deny the British of their culture and genetics . Unless you hold this view consistently for all people , Africans , Asians , etc , then you are being racist .

Genetics, really? So you must be white too be British? Nobody is destroying British culture you fuckwit Pete. You couldn't even give an example of British culture that no longer exists.

Still no argument . I really don't think you have one . It's all baseless insults with you lot .

My argument has already been covered. Nobody is taking away Londons culture. You're a fool for thinking it.

Different argument . We had to give up on that one because you were denying the obvious . 40% and growing fast is obviously going to impact the culture. I will argue no more with you about that .
Let me copy and paste the question you are dodging :
Race is extremely important to the ethnicity of the Japanese , Chinese , Africans , etc .

Ethno nationalism is only the norm in your world pal, not in the world of the less ignorant.

Ethno nationalism is the norm in China , Japan , and most African countries .
This is an objectively true fact . Do you think they're racist too ?

Seeing as no-one's answered you Pete, and you keep asking. Yes, of course they are. All ethno-nationalism is racist.

Then racism really isn't that bad , and for some reason only white people are supposed to feel guilty about it .
Racism is kinda racist like that .
Racism is kinda racist like that .

english is a race mate just like indian im english if i move to india im not an indian ? same thing should apply in the uk

India did it's own conquering and assimilating . Every country has . The UK was just the best at it . The people who are still practicing this expansionism are the fundamentalist Islamists . Islamists are the only genuine far right threat yet they're championed by you lefties because they happen to be foreign . If you want to fight racism , you should oppose Islamist expansionists . You can ask your Indian friends all about this . They know all too well the dangers of fundamentalist Islam . I think you'll find they prefer the British to the Islamists these days .

No , it was wrong . But there's a big difference . Christian expansionists went against the teachings of Jesus . Islamic expansionists are doing exactly what Muhammad did .
I have many non white and Muslim friends who I love dearly . I think you've got the wrong idea here . Who told you I was racist ?

Since when were the Crusades against the teachings of Jesus? Your rants show your true colours Pete. Nobody admits they're racist, I'm telling you, you are.

I don't consider the Crusades to be expansionism . That's a poor example .
Actually , racists do admit they're racist . That's just hateful woke rhetoric so you don't have to engage . You label and other your political opponents because you don't have an argument . It's bigoted and hateful . I assure you , you are far more racist than I am .

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

That's the woke idea of racism . It's not useful for anything but justifying woke racism .
Racism is a universal principle . Once you start adding caveats it becomes a self defeating philosophy . Racism under the new woke definition is itself racist .

They're called 'Woke ' ironically because they're actually asleep . It's the name we've given to all the violent bigots on the left who haven't done any research into the causes they champion .
You'll often hear them mindlessly chanting the opposite of truth . Free speech is undemocratic . Israel are committing genocide rather than defending against one , Women can be men , Jews are Nazis , UK patriots are Nazis . Everyones a Nazi apart from the actual Nazis in Ukraine or the Islamo Nazis who have the same genocidal goals . It goes on and on .

These people are useful idiots for the Globalists . They can never defend their stance , so they always refuse to debate and often turn violent when challenged .
You'll often hear them mindlessly chanting the opposite of truth . Free speech is undemocratic . Israel are committing genocide rather than defending against one , Women can be men , Jews are Nazis , UK patriots are Nazis . Everyones a Nazi apart from the actual Nazis in Ukraine or the Islamo Nazis who have the same genocidal goals . It goes on and on .

Best Example of Communism?
some famous fails for sure but what are the success stories they dont tell us about?

German Peasant's War (where the word communism derives), Paris Commune, two Russian revolutions minus the Bolsheviks, Makhnochina, Spanish revolution, German revolution, May 68, etc. etc. etc.
Losing in the first half don't mean the game's over.

I don't think Communism has ever worked as Capitalists are always creaming off the top.
A great book on the subject is Eat The Rich by the US satirist (and huge drug consumer) P.J. O'Rourke. I think his and my politics are probably polar opposites, but you could get fucked up at a party with him and have an amazing time. Anyway, good book. Breaks down all sorts of different political stances, and Good Communism is one chapter, and Bad Communism another. He's a funny guy, but maybe don't consider it as in depth reasoned academic analysis.
Ah, fuck. He died in 2022. No future parties.

Come on down voters give me a success story if you don't like the truth?? Bloody Marxists never except that it doesn't work. What ever iteration you can think of it WONT WORK!!!! everyone being the same sucks the fun out of life accept that hard work pays!

I'm not advocating for Communism but our society is full of people grafting their respective genitalia off that are still struggling financially. The idea that hard work pays ( properly) is a idea propagated by people seeking to exploit the labour of others. Nobody should need to claim benefits whilst working full time and yet...
Fwiw, I do advocate for a mixed economy. Nationalised energy, health, water, public transport etc and luxuries at the will of the free market.

Exactly this - capitalism needs the grafters, the hardworking cogs to keep coming in to replace those that fall off or fall through the cracks.

"that hard work pays" is often true and the capitalists don't only pontificate this to the masses they teach it to their children. children they practise communism with.

You shouldn't be allowed to claim any benefits while in full time employment. It's crazy, we are basically subsidising employers who ought to be paying more.

And I hope that, one day, employers decide paying a living wage is more important than ever increasing profits such that in work benefits are no longer necessary. I propose a link between maximum and minimum pay within an organisation. Let's say; no pay ( overall package including bonuses, perks and dividends) higher than 5x the lowest full time salary.

it wouldn't even have to be a regulation, the government does business with so many companies and beneficiaries. if they don't have these multiples in place no people's funds.

employers don't make that call so much as owners do and when the owner is the stock market it's quite blind to anything but profits.
when the owners are the employees this changes priorities.

I’m sure there are loads they just don’t teach us about them. Capitalism doesn’t work either does it? Too many greedy pocket filling bastards. We are all the same having money doesn’t make you better than anyone else, the fact you are here spouting this shows what a sad state the world is in 😞

under capitalism hard work has never paid and never will pay lmfao. communism actually prioritises labour, capitalism is about fat pigs at the top skimming off 99% of the profit we produce for them. do you not find it utterly insane tesco has like 5 different in-house brands with varying prices for essentially the same product? or that having less money means you have to settle for lower quality products that are worse for you and spoil faster?

So, you don't think lifting 4/5ths of the world out of relative poverty can be considered "paying off"?
OK Che, communism good 🤣👌
OK Che, communism good 🤣👌

do you have a source for this? not trying to challenge so much as i would like to learn more about it. maybe there is even a way the community could help.

food for the hungry is legit and accepts crypto

there are community outreach programs and obviously government funded systems like food banks to help, but the crisis only really exists because the capitalist system is designed that way. we have the resources to end world hunger but it's not economically beneficial so it will never happen

Does the existence of those children make anything I said less true?
Strawman though. I didn't make a claim that there is no poverty in any country. I think you missed the qualifiers "relative" and "4/5ths" of the world.
I would say, that "starving" inarguably applies to way less than 1 in 5 children in the UK, US or anywhere in the West which makes your point about the ills of capitalism fairly moot in context.
I am no fan of cronyism, and I don't think capitalism is utopia, but it's insane to try and persuade anybody that communism would do better than this.
Thanks for the downvotes. I have over a thousand upvotes and less than 30 down.
Drop me a line next time you are tipping your bathwater into the atalantic. I'll do it too 🤣

You stop your quotations at an expedient place. If you would have been less disingenuous about your framing, you would be honest about the fact that the reason I said it was to point out that the users who's position I criticised (fairly and civilly) had no reply apart from the futile downvotes, as I was describing.
If I was trying to persuade anybody of anything about me with only what you have entered in your own quotation marks as the context then I'd tend to agree with you. Given that you have totally taken it out of the context it was said (I mean it was clear the previous person was making downvotes vexatiously, in place of an actual cogent argument against what I was saying.
I think you probably know that, but don't care because you disagree with me 🤣 how about tackle me with some argumental substance rather than downvotes.
So, yeah, moot point. Wind your neck in mush.

In other words, you have nothing worth saying because you are too vacuous to argue your way out of the little communist hole you dug 🤣
Thick.

Do you mean the actual communists who don't want to respond to fair and cogent points about their lack of reasoning?

You should look into some unbiased reporting on the soviet Union, and some witness statements from the older generation who lived through it.
You will find that many of them tell you life was better in the USSR, than in post USSR Eastern Europe and Russia. Besides that they were several decades ahead of the west on womens rights and social services.
But like anything good, the Americans bring it down from the inside, or out, USSR, Great Britain, either way. Their media controls the narritive, and communism effects their ability to steal all the money. There is a reason Cinema is oversaturated with anti Communist rhetoric.
I'd honestly rather have the worst communist government, than be America number 2.

Yeah and east germany was the most successful communist country of all, just ask anyone that wasn't killed trying to leave.

Have you ever listened to Konstantin Kisin? A Jewish family - He moved when he was 9 from the ussr to England at the end of the soviet Union just before the fall. His first hand account of his own life tells a very different story to what you describe.

The communists on this thread think KK first hand account of late soviet communism is invalid for some reason.
I suspect many of them have never listened to a reasonable, adult centrist common sense. Perhaps it is not synonymous with the cult like adherence to social, political orthodoxy that would like to see nebulous victimhood everywhere.

Hey man, great discussion, and I'm no authority but I had to retort to your 'hard work pays' comment: I have to disagree, hard work doesn't pay - call me whatever but nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, anyone in public service, works their asses off for little pay and much abuse from all sides.
We exist in Capitalism and while hard work and 'hustle' works for a short period for a small number, hard work is not a critical proponent of Capitalism, that's increasingly evident, imo.

Nice alt greenbeans/cherry cola. I can't believe you are actually calling other people schizo and creating multiple accounts to appear to support yourself 🤣

you are a literal schizo, my comment was just insulting you for being a pathetic redditor bragging about 1000 upvotes ,never mentioned politics, this guys actually responding with points and now you dont respond because you schizophrenically think im him. 😂😂😂
hilarious thanks for proving your sanity

You didn't respond with any political talk aside from your comment about reddit that makes NO sense. Yes, you really didn't. But you did downvote every comment I made on this thread within a minute when you appeared on it before we had any interaction. Just as restricted account Tiger man did 🤣

you bragged about having 1000 upvotes which is pathetic redditor behaviour 😂 not that difficult to figure out as long as you arent an obsessed psychotic responding 5 times to a little comment, oh wait 😂😂😂

I'm actually really surprised that you are hating on reddit. There are so many commies on there that want everybody else to do the hard work for them. Sounds up your street.

I came here to say this. Glad someone else knows what's going on.
It's gradual. Socialism is the route to communism. The NHS, which we are all trained from an early age to worship, was one of the first big steps in socialism. Benefits too.
Do you all remember when Richard Madeley of all people called out Susan Michie for being a member of the Communist party? She was a main player in the 'behaviour science' part of the scamdemic. Do you remember how we were all pressured into performing that awful clap for the NHS gesture? That was like something out of North Korea/China, where citizens are softly compelled into worshipping the state - like those obvious crocodile tears that were shed over Kim of N Korea.
Ugh, most people are too close to it to see it but it is ABUNDANTLY clear.
I would recommend anyone to watch Yuri Bezmenovs lecture on how the west gets subverted to Communism. He was a soviet defector who used to subvert countries and bring them into the soviet fold for a living.

The rich people who own the media want to push an ideology that stops them being able to hoarde all the wealth? care to explain how that makes sense?

I don't think you'll find any. They've tried it and hundreds of millions died. Ok in principle but man's greed quickly takes over.

yeah it's the trickery of it from the knowers side and the sheer gullibility from the mark.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
To the naive person, this quote from Marx sounds like everyone will just pull their own weight for others and everyones needs will be met.
But with the benefit of hindsight, it is clearly a recipe for slave labour/the gulag system where each man is worked to his utmost but only has his basic needs met. Pretty clear with the benefit of hindsight.
There are no luxuries. Worked to the max, as much as your body can stand and in return you are provided a concrete bed, thin blanket and bowl of gruel twice a day. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Yes, the realities of a fringe political experiment that has resulted in serious human disaster and loss of life every single time it has been tried makes great satire if you have your head so far in the sand that you can't and won't learn from the past. Come on Che, you are convincing nobody with your smarmy , condescending replies that do not rebut the subject matter. It's totally lazy.

“Best examples of communism”? A bourgeois framing! The Paris Commune—1871—was the first workers’ government: producers seized power, abolished class privilege. Short-lived, but its essence: *proletarian dictatorship* as communism’s midwife. True communism isn’t a “model”—it’s the *movement* to bury capital.

Kerala (India) is the best example of communism. It’s a massive success story and I really hope the party can grow into other states of India

"It was a laugh in the beginning, but things went steeply downhill shortly after."

If we ask what communism is attempting which is elimination of hierarchy, collective ownership and resource equality it looks good on the surface but in reality if you look at Cuba and ask any Cuban that managed to fled the country they will tell you when communism is applied through force and suppression it disrupts and destroys instead of harmonising. Sadly we feel it never comes without corruption at it's core...maybe Vietnam?

Its a pipe dream, we are all living under an authoritarian dictatorship disguised as something else and it doesn't matter where you are that's just how it is.
What doesn't seem to be understood is that despite what you are led to believe nearly everyone in the world has more in common with eachother than they don't and non of the current leadership, the oligarchs or the current appointed shop floor managers (politicians) aren't doing anything about it.
And to get a rise from people.
China is winning on making it better and we are not allowed to participate in that.
Although realistically China is winning at the current version and realistically China has always been winning except for a minor blip.

Not exactly a success story but interesting fact. There are more cannabis users per capita in Communist North Korea than there are in any other country. They smoke to relieve the pain of living there.

Best example of communism... in the ground... deep in the ground with the devil from whence it came.

yet when everyone looks above and sees devils we know what cycle communism - or now capitalism - is in.

It doesn’t work people become lazy and there will always be those who have and those who have nothing.
Argentina’s current turnaround under Javier Milei from socialist basket case to small state and low interference is what you should be talking about. We don’t need the public sector time to slash it.
We need to get our self respect back relying on the state has made us weak and pathetic.

We are already experiencing communism even in the modern world , it's a hybrid between communism and democracy , based on feelings and personal I , me Happiness and DEI.
Don't work , hand outs , nobody knows what a woman is , men are all monsters and rapists , everyone can be whatever they FEEL , massive division - past remembering - payouts for past events , people split into groups protesting, government is everything - Marxsism 1:1 .
You already have 6 - 7 nations that have fallen fighting for this aspect -
Argentina - down - Saved by Milei
Columbia - down
Venezuela - down
Chile - About to fall
Salvador - Down - But saved by Bukele
Australia - About to fall
USA - About to fall - massive border issues and most cities are walking dead with people zombies being poor and homeless.
UK - about to crash due to importing victimhood across all minorities , brits on mute mode not even saying anything to anyone.
Go woke in a country and your entire society crashes.
Capitalism + Merrit Based society is the only one working.
This has been in the works tho since the 90s - starting with the feminisation of men and masculinisation of women - Split up with your men , you can do whatever you want , then they wake up at 40's with a carrer , no fam and alone crying on Socials crying for a men.
Men - don't react , be soft , toxic masculinity , every reaction has been deemed as something is wrong with you.
Therapy is all processed from the perspective of a woman , so men don't go to that.
Men just kill themselves at some point due to loneliness , women keep talking and talking and move on.
This is where you are at in 2024 in the Western World's
So majority of people need to stop and go back to standards otherwise Societies crash entirely , we see the results Live ongoing
North Korea is the only one truly communist spot ON and it's only because the majority of the population simply wants to live like that , they don't know anything else , never did , not every nation is attracted to this notion of rich , poor ,progress yourself some just want to live like in a big Foster care home totally controlled.

Communism is inherently tyrannical. History shows that. There aren’t any examples of success for a reason. It goes against the human spirit. Millions more died die to its tyranny than under the Nazis but you never see documentaries on the BBC or Netflix about Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot. Capitalism isn’t perfect by a long way but meritocracy is natural and drives progress. People to an extent sort themselves into roles and structures on natural ability and interest. Socialism just teaches people to rely on the state whilst the state gets to dictate how people think and behave. It’s ideological tyranny on the one extreme and financial exploitation of a liberal society by the few on the other. My grandad was a carpenter and paid his subs to his union for years until he acknowledged the financial and ideological corruption that it was based on.

There has never been one.
Governments, inherently are untrustworthy, the larger they are.
More proclivity to tyranny the smaller they are - which the libertarians are blind to.
There should be a lassez faire way to govern, with a balanced and adequately sized government.
Modern progressives don't like to hear this, but capitalism has lifted the world out of relative poverty, to the extent that nothing that came before it has been more beneficial to both quantity and quality of life.
Necessary evils are all around us. We think if we are selective about the ones we talk about, then the ones we don't want to talk about will disappear for some reason.

How you Discovered LB??
Cool stories and one liners on how you personally discovered LB ?

Ditto! Thought it was all a big scam for a while until one day took the plunge. Anybody not of like mind browsing this site - yes this is all one big joke and a scam now go back to your beer and fags and forget what you have seen. :)

Still quite odd buying online even though I've been doing it for some time. Told my brother about it and ordered a pack for him, when it actually turned up it blew his mind so much he's got brain damage now.

I’m in my 40s, cannabis user for 25 years.
Contacts dwindle as you get older, I felt like I was getting ripped off paying street prices for shitty weed and a good growing friend had to spend some time at HMP.
Anyway I googled 2 and a half years ago and I’m glad I found such a fantastic community!!
Never looked back

So the local stuff got that bad i had to look elsewhere, and I'm glad I did,thanks Google. although watching the post man everyday is pure torture in itself but worth it lol

It feels like Christmas morning though sometimes when you hear the doorbell and know your oz has arrived lmao
Same here though I think I found this website from reddit, didn't even know a clear web site existed was very sceptical of the whole thing but so glad I took the chance.

High and polite bought me here. Had to sign up for newsletter for the link. I still read the newsletter too.

I googled 'how to buy weed in the UK' as the street source I had got nicked. I found a search result that was a small article about scam websites and gave a list of those that were found to be scam. At the bottom, it then mentioned 2 or 3 sites that were legit, LB being one of them.
I spent the next few months lurking and reading and plucking up the courage to order. i then spent a while sorting out a source of crypto, then bottled it again for about a month. I finally went for it with an order from TGT with some hash. It arrived the next day. That was Nov 2020. I'm now on 100+ orders.
I've since got a mate signed up and soon my sister will be on LB.

Man this sounds so relatable.. I also thought scam as it was clear web and website even looked dodgy at first, didn't know what would happen but with the reviews from trustpilot and on here, using bitcoin for purchases and stuff it just tempted me now on like order 30 don't have to buy dry ass dog from my local anymore

Same. Except I jumped straight in and bought couldn't believe it came the next day. Life was changed forever. I was like a kid in sweet shop from that moment on.

Yeah I think that's about the same for me. Had been looking for a go between for a few months and found a place where I could get Delta 8 or HHC and thought I'd just settle for that as getting weed on the clear net would be unlikely.
Then when I investigated a lil further I saw the newsletter an English dude did where he had a list of reliable sites (probably the same one you're referring to). I'm pretty sceptical and researched it a lil and found it was likely legit and put in a guest order which never showed up btw. But I persevered and I eventually got some stuff which arrived next day.
Tbh I love this place and think this is the way forward. No more bs with shady dealers that you don't know from Adam. Not being made to feel like you're a scumbag just cos you want a lil smoke, most people seem to be like minded here which is a breath of fresh air.
That being said, I have been disappointed with the service from some of the vendors and it's typical that I find this place and our beloved RM has turned into an absolute shit show (although I support the principle of strike action).
Anyway I'm persevering and hopefully I'll find my go to vendors. Only been here a month or so, so fingers crossed I have better luck in the future.

Yeah since I wrote that post i've been much luckier and found some decent vendors, big shout out to; The Gentleman Dealers, Mad Dabber and Dr Greenthumb who all had decent service and stuff :D Also I tried Greencat and had a mixed experience, but now that you mention it The Spacemen were decent too ;)

Gave up buying non descript skunk of mates of mates as didn’t like the edgy buzz and the shifty pick ups. Wanted to return to the more relaxed hashes I used to smoke in the 90’s which had disappeared years ago so tentatively typed in ‘buying weed online’ into Google. Read an article name checking LB and the rest is history. Thought it could be bogus but kept everything crossed and hey presto. Still can’t quite believe it two years on. Enjoying my indica dominant hash and weed and am far more educated than was ever before. Got my next door neighbour onto it to and we swap bits all the time. Genius.

My man decided to retire from dealing after near 30 years,so after no hashish for six months i decided to see if i could buy on the dark net,imagine my surprise when google told me to go to LB,even bigger shock when i got my first delivery as like everybody i thought it was a scam lol
100 plus club now lmao
100 plus club now lmao

I’d been using cannazon, there was a great selection but it was buggy and painful to use that I did what everyone else seems to have done and hit Google up with “buy weed online UK”.

was trying to find where i could buy bud online and stumbled across a UK website embracing cannabis ans shroom use. the guy who writes it all said that he'd be including a site he uses to buy bud in the next email newsletter. so i signed up and sure enough LB was mentioned. the guy was also talking about how it can be used on clearnet and all youd need is bitcoin. i went straight on it and browsed for a bit before setting up a cryptowallet and making my first purchase

a friend of mine told me about it but what i remember is the feeling when i got here. 1st my stomach sank a little like it was a shock and as i scrolled i started seeing all the posts as well as the items and it just felt like i had found a colony of escapees from dystopia.

Was writing an article on different types of drug markets. Obviously checked out LB because it's a pretty unique market-it's the website version of the Gaudi building in Barcelona.

Glad to see someone else also didn't find it by a friend or a Google search! The sub can really help with visibility

Personally I came across a site called High and Polite, and a gentleman pointed me here about a year ago. As an older bloke, street dealing really isn't my thing and while I used it for years the darkweb still kinda scares me, so LB is perfect.
And while it exists I'll use it til the hammer down the last nail
And while it exists I'll use it til the hammer down the last nail

Customer who was ordering very regularly directly suggested I have a look. Was very skeptical at first but he assured me he bought hash off here just as regularly as he was buying weed off me. Made the leap of faith and never looked back

I had been buying from the clearnet for about 6 months. Seemed like new sites were popping up every other day. The prices were starting to get a bit much and heard someone on reddit mention LB. Flashback 2 or 3 years. And a really cool random guy I was gaming with one day, tells me how he buys his weed from a website that looks like it was made in the 90's. So the second I load up LB for the 1st time it was like BOOM I finally found it

Was using another site (a good one, single vendor type), was wanting some thai, told what i was looking for is book of wisdom thai, less than minute later i'm here, month later i had not only the thai under my belt but half ounce odd of SpaceWalker Badder and who knows what else, i'd love to see my first few orders here, i remember the badder, it was a stupid purchase cause it was sent 1st class, only option from vendor.
Didn't really use it correctly either, lovely tho.😁

Was working with an old.hippy type fella during covid. Was finding it increasingly difficult to get weed through my normal channels. Hippy fella pointed me in this direction and here I am nearly 4 years later

Wow! So cool to see how this community came together! Nice post ;-) For us it was a destiny - a friend who knew we had to share what we had with the world ;-) and we are grateful to be here everyday :-) Gratidão

A work colleague told me about it so I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised and have been using LB ever since.

I'd seen a website in the news supposed to be selling weed. I'd started looking through reviews, which were mixed, but ultimately it seemed like it was a scam. Certainly at best a roll of the dice. Eventually I read a comment on a forum that said something like, "ignore all these sites and go little biggy. You can thank me later." Except I can't thank them as I've no idea where I read the comment. Certainly I should thank them as I've ordered all sorts of bits n bobs in the short time I've been a member since. Maybe I should write up my own beginners experience at some point as my mind had been blown by LB and the community here. There's loads of things I'm looking forward to trying next.

It was a dark and stormy night, the captain said to his crew gather round men gather round. 😅😂

Who still remembers Bud Brothers?
Around 2020 I started vaping to try and quit fags and when I found out about thc vapes through social media I started to make vapes with rso, I pressed rosin from flowers etc but they always clogged up the coil and I had to admit it will never work right without clean distillate. So I bought a shortpath distilling set up and wasted a lot of money and materials. My mate eventually asked why don't I just buy distillate online? I didn't want to get involved with darknet sites so I was very surprised when he said there's a clearnet site to check out.
That's where it all started. At that time only 1 or 2 vendors had distillate on the site: MJ and Bud Brothers. MJ was always out of stock so I was buying from the brothers and then the new vendor all420 who always had stock. Since then the site is flooded with distillate.
Still nice to think back to those first days on the site :)

During lockdown, my buddies locked-down their stash!
A bit of googling, and a gamble on a bag of shake from RadarBreeder, few days later it dropped through the door.
Been here ever since.
And apart from when I find myself in Rotterdam, I haven't bought from anywhere other than biggy since.

Prices lower in Rotterdam. Not seen any drunk English people there, less touristy, still plenty to see and do.

A popular online blog links to lb in the newsletter. After rifling through various pages here, I figured it looked legit and made an order. Nearly a year later and I'm never going back to a plug, ahaha.

There was some forum I found that lists all the websites that have scammed ppl out of weed online, a few people on there pointed at this being the only legit place to buy so after a few searches I couldn't find anyone saying theyve had a bad experience on here so tried it out during pandemic/lockdown and haven't bought any off the street since :)

Liberty Cap season has been a shit show in my area so had to dig through Reddit for a good Mush Plug 😅

Went into my mates yard to buy some bud, he just took my phone, created me an acc, logged in and said 'the buds nice but they still can't beat my prices' and I've never bought bud off him again. Baffles me why he put me on here but sure glad he had that dull moment.

After moving from one area to another in the UK I went from having a really good plug who I had used for years with a consistent supply of good quality weed to working my way up through street level dealers trying to find nice weed, everything I was picking up was really bad quality compared to what I used to pick up back home, so I started doing a bit of research and searching online and found some websites that seemed and I had heard where legit. I tried 2 other clear net sites that at first was okay but then the quality was inconsistent and wasn’t worth the extra premium compared to the local dealers prices. Then I stumbled upon LB I had looked at it a while ago and could have sworn it was a scam it looked too good to be true! but though fuck it what’s the worse that can happen I seen green cat’s exodus cheese and as i had not seen any cheese for a long time and it was at a reasonable price I placed a order, 3-4 days passed and I was almost certain it was a scam but one Saturday morning it turned up! Never looked back since

I truly didn't think that web searching 'buy weed online' would lead me to a place like this but here we are 🙂. Not even sure I had the VPN activated when I did it!

My dealer for 5 straight years all of a sudden retired and I’d cut all my other contracts off so was left dry for 48 hours 😰 still never tried anything too amazing here yet but love that I can finally get vapes and never have to be accused of fucking my dealer 🤣

I found out via a Reddit thread. Was a bit skeptical at first but after so many people confirming it’s legit I had no reason to believe otherwise :-)

Haha what a question. Love it. I discovered Lb through reviews . Reviews are always the champ for helping you discover more and more lol. Wich led me to check LB out and loved the wide seletion of choices and vendors to offer amazing products . Obviously not only maryjane. The hashish and other pyschadelics are superior . KING LB!

How I found LB was I was supplying ones of the highest reviewed account on LB, BUT he kept it a secret from me and did not want me to get on it, little fucking hater, oh well I'm here now and not going anywhere. He knows I'm here lol

B.s confirmed. The libertarian/authoritarian is a different axis from the left/right paradigm. The left/right axis doesn't really matter anymore. Classic liberalism much more akin to Conservative values.
The more relevant terms when talking of the laissez-faire ideas are whether you are a consequentialist, or deontological libertarian I.e: do consequences matter or is it the rules that matter?

The government determine the rules, generally speaking don't they?
The consequentialist libertarian generally would say that they are not against force (by government)per se, but they believe in strong private property rights because it generally makes people happy and prosperous when they have them.

I find today’s liberal left to be very authoritarian in nature. They use all the kind fluffy buzz words but ram it down your throat with a hot poker.

This must make the Right and Far Right complete Nazis then I guess. It’s all relative.
This rhetoric about liberalism being authoritarian is just propaganda served up by the Right for the most part (including Kier Starmer’s Labour, which is essentially just right of center Tory at this point) If you buy into it, you have fallen for it.

it makes sense: private property for what we create, public property for what's already sitting on the planet.

The Beano is as much an encyclopedia as Wikipedia. https://libcom.org/article/libertarian-marxist-tendency-map + any anarcho history from Bakunin and Stirner onward.

Left and right are wings of the same bird. Liberty is when the bird flies forward. And people are in awe of the lack of polarity. And learn to love each other again.

A true president like that and the only one in the world is Milei Argentina , guy saved his country from crashing down due to importing US values in mostly a Traditional hard working country.

The people of Argentina have given him a bigger mandate than ever and rejected the Peronists.

Hi folks,
Have anyone else had issues transferring btc from their revolut acc to there btc wallet?
I've just tried to send btc and its telling me that the address is disabled.
I've messaged revolut and great help they are 🤣🤣
I had zero issues last week transferring to my wallet, wallet still has leftover btc in it from last week, bit annoyed 😑

I send GBP from Revolut to coinbase rather than the BTC.
Given the exchange fees are cheaper on coinbase (they are sky high on Revolut btw) this method makes more sense, and Revolut do not scrutinise the transfer of fiat like they do crypto.
Made this mistake first time and had questions about transaxe wallet.
When I got it back, I did as above and have made probably 10 transactions this way with zero issues.
Recommend.

I used my revolut account to pay by btc to LB twice in a month and now I've been sent email from revolut stating my account has been restricted until they investigate some transactions.
What do I say I they question the transactions to get account back to normal?
And next time what is the best way to buy from LB? I have coinbase account too.
Thank you. Am quite new to btc etc so a simply way would be great.

I had the same thing. I simply responded that I had sent the coins to escrow for exchange which was not a lie.
I figured I could not deal with a 10 day account restriction every time whilst revolut questioned who I was sending to.
If you look on your coinbase app you will actually find that your account has a sort code and account number that you can deposit fiat currency into. You can do this as normal on your banking app as though you were paying a bill. You need your unique payment reference number as well which starts with CB.
This way you get better fees and do not get anybody asking questions when you move your crypto.
If you buy usdc on coinbase it is free too and you get free trades which you can use to convert to btc to save you the cb crypto purchase fee.
Hope this helps. Drop us a line if you struggle with any part of this.

Thank you for this information and advice. Can you use coinbase in the UK? As downloaded the app and completing the set up. Asks for country of residence and I'm choosing UK but it won't let me continue with the set up. Any ideas why ?

Not a Scooby tbh mate I am in the UK and it works for me. Although i set up some years ago.

Fortunately it only took me 18hrs of constant mithering 🤣
I've seen people saying its taken days or weeks

wirex is cool for some reason i cant write much LB blocks the post but its around 4% deposit instant withdraw too

Yeah same here and now that wallets blocked. They closed my account for 3-4 days and was very unhelpful in getting it fixed

Update..... they've unrestricted my acc but my 2 crypto wallets are still blocked. Exodus wallet is now being used.... 3rd time lucky 🤞

I'm fuming! They have restricted my acc and as you said they are less than helpful. That was the last of my money so can't even try a different route. Looks like I'm screwed then lol

revolut temporarily block my account every time but usually only for about an hour. then I can do the withdrawal. you should delete the disabled addresses from your account and use a new wallet address for withdrawing to (generate a new one from the official bitcoin wallet app) also though it costs more by withdrawing to your own wallet first, it's harder and less likely to be scrutinised than sending directly to a transaxe provided address.

Thank you
I had put them in as a contacts on my revolut when purchased from LB. If I delete them and next time wish to order , using my revolut account, likely to be ok?

just brace for the temporary block and you'll be fine. sending to your own btc wallet first will reduce scrutiny

since I switched to bit panda everything is smooth... used wirex and cypto app but bit panda really easy and low fees

Not relevant, but fuck Panda. I spent 20 minutes falling for their verification bullshit with the "check all boxes with a motorcycle" crap. Not in the mood for teenage humor, thanks...

Sheesh was going to use Revolut if cb kept asking questions. Right now cb to own exodus is working for me.

This has just happened to me as well when trying to send to Exodus despite working fine previously. Can anyone confirm if this happens every time you try and send to an external wallet or is it just certain ones?

Static Hash? Is it just a Gimmick?
It's not a gimmick, as much as it is a spectrum.
You have your commercial type "static" hash and then you have the real deal.
Real static …
Static Hash? Is it just a Gimmick?
Hey guys!
What's your thoughts on 'static' hash?
Whilest I do agree that plastic has static charge and it attracts trichomes but at the same time it does also attract lighter plant material ie.: trim, vacuum packing trim is a little challenging due to the static charge that make the trim stick to the bags making it impossible to seal the bags so that there is no trim on the outside of the bag.
In the past I have also been suggesting the use of small plastic blender for grinding your weed because you can have your own static hash over time as the trichomes build up on the side of the plastic jug. This will also collect a bit of plant material but mostly will be static kief/hash.
All that said I watched a few videos of people making static hash and I cannot see what's the point of it other than playing with their kief like kids play with fine sand. I mean they dry sift the kief to like 90micron and then drag a glove or other plastic through that and collect the kief again that way. I just can't see it being any different from already sifted kief other than the fact they loose more in the process giving them less yield in the end.
Here's a photo of some 150 micron kief I got recently. I could drag a plastic glove and collect the whole thing over time and can then call it static hash?
If I collect the trim the same way then I can call it static trim? 😂
Have you tried static hash before and was it any better than just normal dry sift? Did it cost more? Is it worth it?

That's the colour of fresh dry sift kief.
It looks nice what's wpff stand for?

its not kief. its only trichome heads. 🤣 colour has nothing to do with freshness. i have some dark wpff thats tastier than the light stuff.

Colour has everything to do with freshness look it up mate. Those heads will turn dark when exposed to heat and over time due to oxidisation.

This is cured Tropi Orange. Based on your theory, please explaining the coloring of this. It also arrived really dark before it was cured.
Also nothing is exposed to heat. Its kept in a fridge at 17 degrees all year round. The process of making the static is done in a cold room. Trichomes are too sensitive to extract at room temp.

It's not my theory, it's a well known fact.
You didn't bother explaining what wpff stands for I had to look it up yet you expecting me to explain a much more complex chemical reaction that is well known in the cannabis scene.
I have been working with fresh harvested weed for the past decade. It's very simple fresh thricomes are bright and the older they get the darker they turn as they degrade due to oxidisation. That's why clean THC distillate turn dark over time. There's no arguing about this, it's a fact. That's the point of "WPFF - Whole Plant Fresh Frozen"
I'm not going to say anything about your product but the colours speak for themselves.

Maybe you should've asked what it is, if you wanted an explanation on what its function is and not what the abbreviation stands for.

Honestly been wondering the same myself. It seems to be quite a popular "premium" product on this site, but AFAIK the only difference is total avoidance of solvents via using magnets instead... Right?
So essentially it's the equivalent of finer filtered hash I think?
I guess that would explain the price point and strength difference but I'm no expert

In theory the trichomes react differently to a static charge than plant matter. The way hair is attracted to a balloon when you rub it. The electro static machines look pretty convincing on YouTube. The static hash I've had has been decent but as TGS say WPFF is where the action is at. That'll knock yer socks off.

In practice it's all the same, dry ground up plant material, trim, trichomes they all get statically attracted to whatever material you're using. Same as you mentioned the hair attracted to a balloon.
Not sure about machines if different frequencies pick up different weights but pretty skeptical without looking it up further.
I have been cold curing my 150 micron, it's as fresh frozen as it gets. I just can't hold stock for long enough to see what they look like 3-4 months cured but people like it and that's enough for me :)
As in "whole plant" part is also bit of a gimmick. Freezing all the stalks and leaves I seriously doubt as there's no added benefits from doing that.

The WPFF frozen hash will likely be one of the strongest things you'll ever smoke. The name maybe misleading I guess but the hash you get is not a gimmick.
The electro static machines look incredible. But to your point the process is run repeatedly on the same material as it will only filter so much per run. Ultimately though it does separate trichomes from plant material.

It cannot possibly be stronger than the starting material. THC doesn't just multiply during the cold cure it will be the same strength. The point of fresh frozen is to preserve the terps at their "peak". Hash that's been decarbed/heat pressed will loose most of the terps and same goes for "older" stuff.

It can be purer than the starting materials though if your method is good and only takes the frozen trichome heads. The people who make artisan hash like piatella also look for strains where the trichomes are a certain shape specifically with the plan to remove mostly heads. Whereas the starting material includes malformed / small trichomes, stalks and other plant material, the hash should be mostly heads so is stronger as you're only smoking the high quality stoning bit. Buy some off someone like The Hash Collective and see how it is. Proof will be in the pudding.

If strength would be the goal then it won't get any stronger than pure THC distillate. The point of wpff is to preserve the terps at their best. I read up on it and it's just cold curing the fresh frozen hash in a vacuum. I tried it, people love it. Mine was only cured for about a month due to high demand. I doubt any seller could provide anything more fresh than what I have straigth from the source.

Strength isn't the only goal else it'd taste like crap and may as well be made in a lab. But it's about preserving just the perfect trichomes. Some of that is strain selection as mentioned. It is however stronger than the bud. I could argue it all day but best way is to try it. Pepsi challenge it against your bit. Have you had the proper piatella - the effect is unreal. It hits you immediately. It's not my favourite thing to smoke at all but I can see why people pay lots for it. It's a markedly different effect.

It's really about flavour and texture, the strength will be dependent on the thc levels of the strain used:
"Piatella is a type of artisan hash made from fresh frozen bubble hash that undergoes a long cold curing process, resulting in a flavorful and potent cannabis concentrate. It is known for its unique texture and high terpene content, making it popular among cannabis enthusiasts."

Looks pretty dark, must have been already aged when started curing. Any before photos?
I'm tempted trying this cold cure but not sure if worth the time.

How is it darker before and brighter after curing lol Surely not the same stuff. This dark hash is either very old or have been heat pressed like my soft hash

You sell home made products. You know nothing about artisenal hash. Get your hands on some first and then start opening your mouth. You sound ignorant.

I have recently tried Cannabis Cannabis Home made Hash and it is a really good product @ $50 a Q.

I was polite with my response. I dont need to promote anything, the people do that themselves.

It wasn't polite. I asked how it's darker and you cannot explain it so you started attacking me for selling homemade products. That is exactly what artisan hash is, small batch not on large scale like your commercial that you call artisan lol.
The science behind is out there don't have to take my word for it just look it up.
The dark hash you got most likely bee sitting on the shelves for like a year or 2 and that's how they turned black like that.

Okay, buddy. You know best. That's why I'm out of stock on literally everything, because it sits there for 2 years.

You don't seem to understand how it works. You asked me why it's dark when you received it. It is because it's been overstock on someones shelf for long before they sold it to you at a cheap price. That's why they arrive dark when you get them. It doesn't mean they are bad at all just old.

Bro. I am a partner in the farm that it comes from. Stop presuming. Its fresh.

You asked me to explain the colour. That's my best guess. I'm all ears if you got a better explaination for it.

It could be many things. Could be down to the treatment of the material processed too.
Like nug runs and trim runs.

I'm gonna try this cold cure I got some "fresh" nyc diesel dry sift. I wanna see how it will turn out. This chunk around 1-2 months old from harvest.
Smell is still very strong and the colour is also still very bright.

Static is simply the dry sift version of fresh frozen bubble hash.
It's the cleanest most pure version of dry extraction.
It's been completely bastardized by the amount of liars selling standard screen filtered as 'static'.
When done correctly it's sensational but, the prices are ridiculous also so I steer well clear of it because the likelihood of you actually getting what is described with hash these days is all but impossible.

Fresh frozen (also used for making live resin) I feel like another gimmick...Freeze the buds 'live' (right after harvest) then extract the trichs. Bubble hash as far as I remember refers to ice water extracted hash from the finest micron bag that is just kief extracted with ice water instead dry sifting but for how long those 'live' trichs stay alive? They also start 'aging' oxidising as soon as they processed so by the time it gets to the consumer is it still 'live'?

Exactly this these 'new' processes seem to be purely for achieving the highest tested thc percentage in a lab test.
If you look at classic hashish from the middle east and north Africa- it's hung dry for 1 year sometimes 2 years post harvest before dry sifting.
Basically it would appear a lot of university kids doing chemistry got involved in the cannabis extract market and its now a complete shit show.
Much of the hash available on LB is either good but overpriced or just straight crap.

And the finest afghan kief was buried in pig skins for a year before being pressed into the finest hash. Apparently.....

All solventless methods use 200 - 60 micron screens for filtering but is it worth seperating the different size heads once it's down to 120-100micron there's likely little to no plant material left in there so what's the point further filtering out the smaller heads?

It’s definitely worth separating the different grades. Hopefully all the plant material will have been collected in the 180 bag. It doesn’t necessarily get better the finer you go. Usually the top grade is in the 73 bag, this is the size of the most ripe, most potent, most tasty resin heads. Sometimes a sative plant will have finer resin heads and the top grade can be found in the 45 bag. The 25 bag has all the unripe, tiny, or broken glands, along with the sticks the resin head sits on.
Fresh frozen will increase the flavour and reduce plant contamination, is also useful for removing resin. As is already frozen. I would say less total harvest though.
My understanding of static, could be wrong. Is that Afghan farmers used it to bypass the multiple sieve process, reducing labour time but keeping high quality, refined by western weed nerds. Great product. Not as good as 73 micron bubblehash though.

I don't see the point to seperate further than 150micron. Do the different size heads give a different high or is it just the taste? At 150 all the goodness is there but what makes 75 bag the top grade? What does it still removing from the 150 batch? At 150 it will all be cannabinoids terps, thc, cbd etc.
How much more does it worth to have them at seperate grades rather than just one product that have all the grades in it?
How much more does it worth to have them at seperate grades rather than just one product that have all the grades in it?

It’s because the 73 most closely matches the size of a resin gland at peak potency. The smaller less ripe/potent glands will pass through onto the next size, whilst other larger stuff such as the stalks (which is still resin just nowhere near as potent) will be caught in the bags above. The resulting product is usually full melt bubble hash. I personally think it’s worth the extra hassle, it’s definitely stronger. I would usually combine the other grades anyway. Maybe on a second run I would collect it all together.

Fair enough still confusing tho, you just said you would usually combine the other grades anyway so what's the point seperating in the first place?
Also how could the 73 be stronger when it's stripped from all the other grades that would otherwise add more strength when combined?
Also how could the 73 be stronger when it's stripped from all the other grades that would otherwise add more strength when combined?

The point is to isolate the most potent and tasty part of the plant. Most stuff on the market is a blend of usually 120 - 70 microns. The other grades would just ruin the quality. And would probably be used in edibles, or low grade. I’d combine what’s left after extracting the 73 because I just feel they’re not really worth keeping seperate. But extracted all together the 73 would make up nearly half the yield anyway (if grown well) So all together still a good smoke, just diluted down.

I think it's the opposite when combined.
If you say 73 is the strongest the others are marginally weaker. Let's give the strenght a simple score between 1-5. So 73 micron is 5 and let's assume 2 other sizes 120 and 90 that both could be around 3 strength.
Now add them together and you get a strength of 11 (5+3+3) so the combined product should be stronger and more potent than the seperated grade by themself.

i don't think so . . . . if you're combining stronger grades with weaker grades, the weaker grades dilute the stronger grades.
by your measure, combining a strength 5 with a strength 3 would give you a strength 4, or thereabouts.

At this level you only have a very little difference between grades so my numbers are oversimplified with too large gap between the figures

But 11/3 = 3.6 otherwise you could keep adding 1’s and it would still keep getting stronger. If you had a pint of 100% alcohol and a pint of 0% alcohol, combine the 2 you’d have 2 pints of 50% alcohol

Probably oversimplified it and gave too large gap between the numbers.
With alcohol you have only alcohol % but there's a lot more than just THC in the kief and also the difference in % would be minimal between different micron sizes. If you wanted to compare to alcohol a more accurate number would be adding a pint of 6% guiness to a pint of 6.5% guiness extra (if there's such).

I get what you’re saying. Yes, with the 90 and 120 the difference is minimal. Between say 180 to 25 the difference is substantial. You just can’t get top grade by adding the inferior grades

I don't agree that the smaller the better. Even you said in your previous comment that less than 73 would mostly be broken and or immature heads and stalks. Any larger grade up to 120-150ish will have more complete large and mature heads all from the same strain with the same thc levels.

Sorry, I meant by adding the 120 and 90 to the 73 the difference would be minimal, but adding a 180 or 25 to the 73 would make a significant difference. To thc levels, at least

The smaller bags that have broken but mature heads and stalks would contain the same amount of thc as the ones in the 73 and same goes for the higher micron bags that will have larger heads that are just as mature as the 73 ones

Oxidisadion is always going to occur at one point. Its a very arduous process that really only increases quality by preserving terpenes. A serious home grower who is into squishing and has a home rosin press can enjoy this experience every day for little money. (Or a hugely comparable experience at least)
Terpene rich, solventless, potent & pure.
Wpff gains nothing that I can see thats better than rosin.
Even the temperature difference between the two processes is subjective if youre gonna nuke that shizzle anyway. No?

If you had 1kg of dry sift to split between you and another person, would you be happy for them to use static techniques to select their half 🤔

Sure the static will attract larger bits aswell as smaller ones. I'd be annoyed tho that my half would be exposed to air for long time whilest it's being done plus the friction caused by the techniques would make my half loose some terps so I wouldn't say I'd be over the moon happy.

TheGoodStuff's Gush Mintz static is some of the finest solids I've smoked, worth every penny!

It is a gimmick really. Its really for small batch artisanal production, and even then the amount of attention spent will only increase the quality a tiny percentage because the hash is already good. Static cleaning pioneered its way in the cannabis cup scene with strain producers trying to one up on other breeders and make perfect hash. Truly the cleanest hash a lot of times is ice/iceolator/bubble bag. I dont think this is soley due to the way the trichomes are seperated and sorted. I believe that water plays a big part in cleaning the hash. All cannabis plants are sticky as fuck. Imagine just how much dust and airborne dirt has an opportunity to stick to it in its life. Water cured bud is also a really clean trippy buzz. When I grow plants I pay as much attention to carbon filtering air in as I do out. Now THAT makes a huge difference. Why is it ok to grind a bud that is %80 plant matter yet we are baulking at the sight of %2 plant matter in hash? A lot has been lost as traditional drysift landrace hashes disappear. Full spectrum hash made from males and females, seeded or not, grown in the sun and beaten over the zero zero screen in the hills of Chefchouen are sadly slipping away from the uk scene. The hash scene in spain is mad. Even the canaries is fantastic with spanish modern pollems and import hassans all over the place. The uk seems to be struggling. The trouble with all this piatella nonsense is that folks will all too easily make a formula replica with terps and dodgy distillate.
Have worldwide landrace hashes got popular in the us or something. Where has it all gone?
Have worldwide landrace hashes got popular in the us or something. Where has it all gone?

That piatella sounds simple enough to make and test but at the end of the day it is the same kief processed into a different consistency. The purest form of hash must be the unprocessed kief.

hash is just keif pressed into a block for more convinient handling. It turns brown, black over time on the outside and that's why it's brighter inside when break them open. Hash is a degraded form of kief. By the time it's dark and solid it would have lost a lot of it's terps and potency.
When I store kief in a plastic box over time the powder turns into a block and turns brown hash. Fresh cold pressed kief is bright almost white in color, has almost no loss of terps and potency.

It's not a gimmick, as much as it is a spectrum.
You have your commercial type "static" hash and then you have the real deal.
Real static is that amber color and it is waxier than drysift. The type that comes from THC and Thegoodstuff.
I think the key with static is how many runs you give it with your chosen technique to clean it.
1 run with the glove or cd method probably leaves still a considerable amount of contaminant.
You could technically call this static without actually lying. But it's still gonna look like triple filtered and not waxy at all (as you see with some of the static sold on lb presently).
I got some "110 micron static" from a vendor about 18 months ago. For the life of me I think it was from "Pablo Esobar". It was dark on the outside. Not squidgy black dark. But darker than clay sort of grey.
Very light on the inside.
Holy shit, that was probably the finest hash I have ever smoked, including real static. Still to this day not sure if it was static, or static cured under favourable conditions but goddammit the next review after mine showed that the hash being sold was not the same. I'd have been gutted if I was that guy.
The next best was the barz la static. That was soft, brown and oily, not unlike a number of hashes you might find on here. But it just smoked like top draw stuff.
So, no gimmicks - it's down to how clean you can get it.
With an iceolator available at about £100 though, I'm not sure why you'd go to the trouble.

It still sounds like a gimmick tbh. Again the static collection methods I've seen can collect all the bits just keep drag the glove over the kief and done. Won't change the kief itself if anything dragging the plactic throught as they do it in the videos create friction, warms up the kief slightly but the waxy consistency suggest heat being introduced at some point during the process or storage. Same as heat pressed rosin can change its consistency from shatter like to sappy wax like depending on tempreture it pressed and stored etc.
Dry sift kief is dry and powdery, not waxy static is the same. That powder then pressed into bricks and that brick should look bright yellow if done right. Over time this will turn brown do to aging

Obviously you haven’t researched what piatella is have you? Lmao. Go to Barcelona and find out. Come back an tell me it’s a gimmick then.

This is from sensiseeds "Piattella hash is a solventless extract made from fresh-frozen bubble hash that is cold-cured until it becomes butter-like"
I bet I can make this in fact I have pressed rosin in the past that became butter like, but I guess cold curing can preserve the terps is it worth it tho? how much they sell for?

Update my beautiful people
We have taken a bit of time off just to get the ideas flowing and to make sure everything is being managed properly
Our hybrid devices should be back in a little over a week
Our first giveaway will be coming up soon with some mini nail rigs and swag battery's
Little question for the people I haven't seen vendors explore this route but would you biggas be interested in 50/50 CBD distilate/live resin
I was just thinking the reviews may be mixed but if you have half a brain you would understand that it isn't as strong but that will be accounted for in the price
Like a Thai landrace version of a vape more for relaxation and to really take in the terps
These devices would be 1ml and on a estimate I think 25$-27.50$ would be fair pricing
Any input of feedback would be greatly appreciated I can't be bothered making more distilate vapes just seems too common
Thank you 💚😘

Great to see you back mate. Will you have any new strains when you return?? The Pink Guava was 🔥🔥 but I missed the Yoda OG. Would love to see some new ones in there though. Personally, I’m a smoking vet with a massive tollerence so I’m looking for taste and strength (quality of high) so the 50/50 wouldn’t be for me but I’m sure there’s biggas who would appreciate them.

Been waiting for this news 🎉 keep missing out every time you restock, really is snooze and you lose 😂
Will be securing my stash this time though, what strains are you bringing us?
Appreciate you my friend ✌

Sounds good, would give it a go.
Don't always want to be faded during get togethers with family, mellow high is good as well.

Couldn't have said it better when I need a tolerance break smoking CBD on its own has helped me a lot
So for actual recreational use and enjoyment I feel it would be a good idea
I feel sophisticated smoking CBD like a posh wine taster

Hey Guys,
I would certainly give it a go. I've run THC & CBD carts next to each other in a Tombstone battery for a full spectrum over strength experience and its been very enjoyable. These days though cart users generally have high tolerance and just want big hits. Anything that moderates that may not be hugely popular but I still think there is a market. Good luck. Can't wait to see the new listings!

What about a 90/10 CBD vape?
A touch of THC entourages well & mimics psychoactivity without impeding function.
LR CBD not a choice too?

Hope it doesn't,Wouldn't that be a total shit storm for both parties, think what commotion Brexit has caused considering the relatively short time UK eu had been in union, and how long Scotland /GB have been united.

Hopefully never, the UK is a great union and takes all 4 working together to make it so.
there's no reason why we can't be as independent as possible and stand on our own two feet, even if it means we are a few percent poorer,.
this doesn't mean we can't be friends with Europe and get along best we can and with them and the rest of the world.
Don't give our government the excuse of having European overlords if they don't perform.
Have some faith and love your country, it's not all bad here.

I don't regularly visit the continent, but for the few times I have since Brexit it hasn't seriously hindered me, just a longer queue to join at customs, and surely trade is still happening regardless, money talks at the end of the day, no doubt it there are winners and losers.

That's funny as it came out recently that your boy Klaus Schwab of altering data in the annual Global Competitiveness Report to downplay the UK’s post-Brexit performance and protect diplomatic ties with India.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of rigging data in its Global Competitiveness Report to imply that Brexit was a failure. According to reports in Swiss media, WEF founder Klaus Schwab allegedly instructed staff to lower the UK’s ranking for economic productivity in the 2017-18 edition of the report.
And if there was not all of this cross party fighting since Brexit which has caused a lot of diddly dally and created this mess instead of putting country first they choose to take orders from WEF which has caused massive damage to growth also.

i'm not a poor feeble creature, dopey.
it's a position of weakness to call other people feeble just because they have a different opinion to you. if you felt more courage and strength in yourself and your convictions you wouldn't feel the need to do that.
it's also the kind of rhetoric that encourages and amplifies division, rather than reducing it.

erm, i'm fairly sure that brexit was engineered by right-wing ideologues?
the right always seems to create this false binary that they are the ones who love their country (subtext: they want it to be white, christian, patriarchal, hetero, cisgender, royalist), while the left hates it (subtext: because they embrace diversity).

Caviar kings Zkittlez 🍬 120u
We have landed some Caviar kings Zkittlez 120u hash for our pals on little biggy

Crazy prices them a 1er for 5 gram of commercial? I’d rather shit in my hands and clap. Holy shit just seen it then as well twelve hundred pound for a bar? Lmao. U okay lad?

Well for a start it’s not commercial hash which shows you haven’t got a clue what your talking about , also your best off shitting in your hands and clapping ok , and don’t be calling us lad as well ok , and don’t worry your opinion means nothing to us remember that pal

For a start it looks just like commercial hash I was getting back in 2013. Feel sorry for your noob customers who don’t have a clue about Polly. Lmao.

Talk you what pal , we sell a lot of hash pal ok and pretty sure 99% of buyers know what they are looking for on here ok FINBAR

2013 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂give your head a wobble you just keep trolling hiding behind a keyboard

And also do you honestly think anyone on this site will look at what you write and take any notice FINBAR we are the ones with over 20000 sales 12900 reviews and a 9.8 score so you just write anything you want on this about us ok pal

Yes I hope some do so they don’t get charged extortion for that Polly you’re charging over a 1er for 5 gram. Extortion. Yes I was getting hash of that quality back then even earlier than then 25g for 50 quid. That’s commercial. Do not lie. Hahaha just realised you’re charging that for a bar too. Lmao. Fuck me.

Stop commenting on anything to do with us , your a grown adult with a picture of woody hareslon and woody from toy stories body , get a grip of your life

I won’t stop commenting. I’ll call you out on your extortionate prices. It shows the maturity of your mindset doesn’t it too when you are getting aggressive in your replies and being judgemental now to someone just because they have a picture of woody harrelson morphed as a Toy Story character? I think it’s funny you are judging me on that now and you have nothing to go on other than my profile to try and justify your extorrrrtionary prices. A bar for 12 hundred pound of that? Who do you think you are exactly brown thumb?

As we said your opinion means absolutely nothing to us ok , talking about what you were buying in 2013 you haven’t got a clue what your taking about , as we said we have over 20000 sales 12900 reviews and a 9.8 score the numbers don’t lie ok , so basically what you are saying is you know more than every other buyer and us who have been in this game for many many years , we will just leave it there , you keep hiding behind a keyboard and trolling ok , stop wasting our time because believe when we say whatever you say will not affect our sales remember that, also if you cared to look we also sell commercial hash for a lot cheaper ,also no one is being aggressive just pointing out the picture your hiding Behind trolling people ! we will not reply to anything else that you comment on , you can just keep on trolling behind a keyboard

I’m out the house most days man making me out like I’m some sweaty troll who sits there and I am not trying to tarnish your reputation I don’t give af how many sales you have I wouldn’t give a damn if you had 10 reviews or 10000 I’d be saying the exact same thing. I’ve smoked hash longer than you. Trust me. I know what’s good quality hash just by looking at it. I’ll say again. 12 ton for 100g of that. Who do you think you are exactly? Robbery.

With respect mate, I'm gonna stick up for the doc. I don't buy my hash from him (although I did try him as the very first buy back in 2022) I think it is pointless to have a go at anybody for their prices here.
$1300 =£965 btw too.
I understand that £965 is pretty pricey for a bar of what looks to be drysift (I don't see anything wrong with how it looks given not claiming to be static or FF) but generally, people are here to sell smaller bits, not bulk. It is not unreasonable for a vendor to offer a bar at an inflated price to compensate the total value of the bar from smaller sales (which is preferred).
Fundamentally mate, I don't understand why you are talking as though somebody is forcing you to buy it. There are lots of things I think are overpriced here, but I have lots of options offsite too - so I don't ever comment on them. The platform is very simple - take it or leave it, or make an offer. The worst that can happen is somebody says no.

Blah blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz use all still going on? I stand by my opinion and what I say. Extortion. Facts. Goodbye.

you seem to be a little confused . . . . opinion and facts are quite different concepts. having a strong opinion doesn't make it a fact, not even remotely. but, y'know, good luck!

it's just another example of keyboard warrior behaviour, someone who seemingly has a lot of anger and needs to find a safe outlet for it. there are a bunch of folks that lurk around this site, waiting for a vendor to single out.
there does seem to be a pattern however that it's the more respected vendors who attract these trolls - e.g. don loco and thegoodstuff both had issues with this earlier in the year. this makes me wonder if it's actually smaller vendors that are behind the behaviour.
whichever the case, it's really tiresome.

Is There Any Alternative To Universal Basic Income?
We are watching entire categories of jobs disappear in real time now and the new jobs are niche at best. What else can we do to prevent millions falling into poverty?

Wouldn't it be great if we had community owned cafes and shops?
Community cafes where fresh food is grown on site and seasonal food is made to serve. Anyone is welcome even if you can't pay. Rent is heavy reduce as it's council owned.
We have local repairs shops that have experts and volunteers to help you fix items for free. Or you can donate it and it'll help them raise money to put back into the repair shop.
This is normalised across the country and it's access to everybody.
I believe this would change mind sets and give a huge sense of community and purpose along with create jobs and opportunities which benefits the local community.
Sorry for the rambling 😅

Sorry for the rambling 😅

There are currently 1.8 jobs for every employable person in the US. Post pandemic people have chosen not to go back to work or to work on their own terms without fearing the consequences. Much of this is funded by the trillions stashed during the pandemic and logically must get spent eventually but attitudes to work have shifted dramatically. What used to be benefit ‘safety nets’ are now viable alternatives to work. How this will ultimately be funded is the great conundrum of our times….

The whole system is rigged from the start and people falling into poverty is the plan of the global 1%. UBI does not work in our current system because of inflation and how businesses would just raise the price of everything even if we got UBI. People on UBI would live just to turn their light bulbs on and nothing else( no holiday, no new tv, if something breaks you have to not eat for 3 months etc). Unfortunately they see poor people as dumb peasants that should be slowly eradicated."You live pay check to pay check it's your fault you are too stupid to improve your life."

Agreed on it being a rigged system - economic inequality is not a flaw but a fully intended design feature to keep a large proportion of the population under the oppressive and inescapable boot of capitalism

Pretty much every member of the 1% benefits from people getting richer not poorer. Whatever asset they own is more valuable when prosperity grows.

Perhaps we should stop relying on China for all our stuff and bring manufacturing jobs back to the West?

This country (uk) is crying out for a Maggie thatcher right now .. compared to the shitshow we have now across all parties tbh, but thats all political and this is a site for buying weed, I bid ye farewell 👍

nonnation.xyz ... Nations as we know them are over in the west ... This is the only way forward .. read up on this and understand just how decentralised this rabbit hole goes.

Stop printing money and just let the markets sort it out.
Problem is, this is politically unpalatable.
Nothing was fixed structurally after the 2007/8 shenanigans, they just kicked the can down the road.
The system is doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The only thing which will bring back jobs - jobs that actually add value, is a huge crash, moving to a sound money system and a move away from globalisation.

Whilst I like the idea that a UBI would bring people out of poverty if it was subject to change with inflation, whilst not destroying the notion of a meritocracy, I think it would have a devastating impact on GDP for a number of reasons that are extraneous to us who haven't tried it.
Simply, there's been no evidence that it can work yet.
I think honestly, the solution to these problems will come from decentralisation.
If there was no divergence from the bitcoin white paper, btc would be considered a commodity. In it's current form of a 2017 air dropped segwit copy, which needs payment processers to complete a transaction - it is a security.
Something will be released in the web3 space that will change the game for merchants and retailers, I am pretty sure of it.
It will likely come without warning as chatGPT seemed to.

What would the legal process be to end the monarchy?
Could Charles do this and be the unlikely hero? Do both houses need to sign off?

Unless they are sent by government, then they are legal... unfortunately.

A completely new legislature, validating a parliament.
All validity of Parliament is essentially given by the royals. Hence the ability to prorogue when asked etc.
You are probably looking at a lengthy constitution that encapsulates the Bill of Rights, and other legislation that currently underpins the British citizens rights and collectively forms a constitution.
I expect if it comes it would be an unwinding process over a decade.
The issue is, who do you trust to write the constitution for a constitutional Republic?

Disclosure of information pertaining to the royals that is completely and utterly damning. Population turns against them and they resign. A nugget of damning info and a bit of heavy handed gaslighting would do the job.

is it only the Protestant monarchy that your talking about ending, or all royal families, like the Saudis or Morocco? Just wondering

It’s never happened and never will. Not in our lifetime. They bring big revenue to the uk, tourists ect. If it was that easy william Wallace would have just sat back and chilled 🤣

More immigrants lol 😂 jk I love everyone equally really! Support Multicultural and if you want me to be the king let me know you came from this post and I'll give you 2x Cali Capes free on your next order!

Highlight their past involvement in slavery, colonisation and the British Empire and how it fostered the vast wealth they have today…

sell to all to be on the wall
This is a good and worthwhile improvement.
sell to all to be on the wall
thanks to the new review system sabotaging reviews from noobs are no longer possible, freeing sellers to serve every bigga.
starting 15 january 2025 selling to new users will be a requirement for wall inclusion.
as always if you experience a malicious review report it to cleanup borg for corrective action.

We had to stop accepting new users as we had some negative feedback coming from them. Now the new review system has been implemented, we now accept any user, anonymous or new :)

Site responses are almost entirety reactive, not proactive. How does this help vendors if someone targets them specifically and there's limited site response?
3-5 business days for a reply is standard for borgs, and now vendors have to agree to this when the only change of system is that someone can click on something to see how many other reviews have been left by that person?

my experience is that cleanup borg is way, way faster than your claim here.
"can click on something to see how many other reviews have been left by that person?"
how is this not effective for eliminating bad reviews from noobs - which seems to be the only point of this.

Being able to reveal voting history doesn’t change the vote does it? And the vendors headline score suffers just as before so how does this really make “ sabotaging reviews from noobs no longer possible” ?
So will all 1* reviews from noobs be removed then on the assumption they are all fake? Bit hard on noobs trying to leave genuine reviews isn’t it?

I suppose it's the aspect of forcing acceptance, but then people can still do the same thing with new accounts, the score of the vendor goes down, then they have to get it resolved? Whereas allowing people to restrict prevented that admin ballache? The change in the review system and the visibility of stats is a massive positive change, but it's reliant on people doing due diligence, and there're unfortunately many who don't do that and rely on a headline number and move on without investigating. I've always found cleanup borg to be very efficient too, so apologies for my blanket statement.

Fair enough. That's not my experience as a buyer so that's interesting. I do find cleanup borg to be most efficient though, out of all the collective that I've had dealings with.

That's great news and a much needed change for LB vendors, too many n**bs sabotaging vendors reviews which just isn't fair at all.

This is fantastic and I wish I’d seen this sooner. Great work guys
As a fairly new vendor we get orders from brand new accounts all the time, learned the hard way by getting 1/10s random reviews

ADHD meds or advice
Diagnosed mixed type at 38 in February. Still titrating. Concerta XL had minimal effects apart from making me sweat excessively.
About to start Elvan…
ADHD meds or advice
Any neurodivergent biggies here?
Been on the waiting list for 2 and a half years at this point.
I can’t get shit done. Life’s a struggle tbh.
My tolerance has gone way up so need to take a t-break.
Maybe you use a product on here that could help me? Cheers?
Any input welcome 💜

So I did the route where the Dr's medicated me, honestly don't put yourself through that. I found I felt focused but other aspects I was less focused, my anger levels were through the roof and I could flip over the most minor stuff! I've now been clear of meds for around 7-8 months now. I have dabbled a bit in shrooms, had some messages come through (I don't know whether that was my subconscious talking to me). I still find day to day stuff a struggle but who doesn't, am I right?
I keep seeing some ads for adhd apps which can help, they add routine to your life which it seems you are lacking. Drink plenty of water, exercise (I should do this myself) read, learn a new skill.
One of my mains struggles as an adhd adult is a lot of the advice given to me involved doing what I enjoy, which is where my issue came. I had gotten to a point where I didn't know what I enjoyed anymore, some days I still don't. That's a difficult hurdle to overcome or at least it was for me!
You got this! I believe in you!
Big Love and Guidance 🐄💚

I used to get relief from home grown mush bags but a bit cautious now I have a child and was on antidepressants before and not now , scared a bit of my mind and things 🙈

Hello
Have you tried microdosing before?
Message me if you wanna give it a try there are many websites discussing it as an alternate treatment for ADHD.

My partner and I are both ADHD (my partner possibly AuDHD)
I'm medicated with amphetamines, my partner not.
I find the meds helpful - they help me most in regulating my emotions more than I am able to do on my own. I find I'm more patient, more able to organise, and calmer.
My partner self medicates with green, but it doesn't really do much for him (from my perspective) other than making him feel less anxious.
I've been considering looking into l-tyrosine supplements (also called l-dopa) as these are the initial building blocks of dopamine in the brain. Might also try adding l-tryptophane as well, for a serotonin boost.
Sleep, for me, is the most important thing. Regular, good, long enough sleep. If you've got poor sleep hygiene, I'd suggest starting there to see if you can help yourself feel better without meds or chemicals.
Best of luck to you, friend. It ain't easy out there.

I took lytosine it helped me short term and also becopa helped but after a couple months benefits seemed to stop, have managed to buy some modafinil from a website which helped me as well for a bit but been waiting 3 years to get seen when I was on ADHD meds as a kid and now mid 30s , life was eye opening and upsetting how well methelthedrate helped my mind when I had the chance to try again a few years ago just a waiting game and hoping they will help me

you should speak to your gp about your legal right to choose, you can be referred to a private clinic for assessment/treatment and the nhs will pay, adhduk website has a right to choose page with the different providers

just a quick insert, 2 years on vyvanse was good for focusing on one thing but destroyed me
emotionally.
honestly getting alot of protien and sleep does wonders, ive been off vyvanse for 2 months now.

and im gonna say it weed is a problem for some with adhd can make symptoms worse so possibly on your break it may be an eye opener!
feel free to dm if you need any advice i fear doxing myself like this haha

Avoid the meds, it never helps, I was misdiagnosed ADHD as a late teen and put on straterra (atomoxetine) 80mg, they wanted me on 120mg due to size & weight but the 80mg caused me to have a psychotic episode and tried to jump off a flyover after about 4-5 months on the straterra. After crisis team etc got involved, I pulled off the meds completely and took to MJ for the first time (was anti-smoking my entire life until that point).
If you were to go down that road, check out shroom microdosing, I tend to grab some cheap shake when I need a t-break and just smoke it like a tobacco substitute until it runs dry and by that point my tolerance drops some and then the good flower is like a nice treat.
Ultimately though these things are very personal in experience and no two folks even with the same symptoms and diagnosis won't live the same lives with the same outcomes and effects.. the real advice is you need to centre yourself and be OK being who you are, conditions don't define us - they are a part of us, no different than accepting your ears or fingers.
Talk therapy was the best thing I ever did other than smoke the Holy herb!!

About to start Elvanse in the next day or two.
Hoping for improvement from elvanse or else I will probably just got MC route.
Oh and the amount of folks without any experience who told me lion's mane is more effective than stimulants 🤣
I was with ADHD360 via right to choose. They have been excellent.

Hi bud I myself live with adhd and was prescribed stimulant meds but it was not long before I stopped taking them as they did not help my adhd, I would struggle to sleep and they were meant to help me to relax when all they did was made me buzzy. They also affected my Sex life and not in a good way if you know what I mean 😉.
So I had read about microdosing psychedelics to help with adhd and so I purchased some mushrooms from LB to try microdosing and it worked so well I started to grow shrooms to supply my own medication and that’s also what led me to open my own shroom store on here. To say that microdosing shrooms just fixed my adhd is a massive understatement, they improved all areas of my life my mental health is the best it’s ever been. Cause I know how much of a burden ADHD can be I would like to offer you a free weeks worth of Microdosing Capsules if you would like to try microdosing, I know how life changing it was for me and would love to help to see if it can be for you too. If you’re interested just direct message me and I will arrange it with you bud. 👍

Hello brother, was reading this thread as it resonates deeply with me, seeing your reply here makes me want to chat. Fancy dropping me a DM?

noopept is a relatively benign peptide developed for cosmonauts in the 1970s. it has a clean record since then and is very helpful for focus

i know how bad this is to hear, but literally anything you take every day will stop working sooner or later and now you still have adhd but now a drug problem too. drugs are a terrible way to address any chronic problem, a real last resort - they can be a good way to chill out for a bit if you're exhausted or if you just need a change of perspective, and they're certainly cheaper than five star hotels - but don't underestimate how long cannabis tolerance can take to fade or how much even a mild dependence (if you have a tolerance, you have a dependence) can disrupt your life, especially sleep, especially if you are adhd. learn to live with neurodiversity (there is some good advice in other people's comments - don't eat sugar or processed food much), then get high now and again for a break from having to - that's my advice, although how relevant it is for you i have no idea. also, t breaks need to be looong. if you have a high tolerance, really looong. thc gets dissolved in the fat in your body and takes ages to leech back out. you'll see what i mean.
whatever it ends up taking, you'll get the hang eventually and life'll get a lot easier. honestly, you'll already feel a lot better after a t break. do it now.

I waited years too mate it’s awful. Sorry you’re struggling :( To get boosted up the list there are a few things you can do, DM and I’ll fill you in on what I know.
I’m highly adhd and autistic af and frankly off my fucking head 😂
I’m on elvanse now and it’s a lysdexamphetamine which is the greatest thing I’ve ever tried. Now I’m totally focused all the time and so much calmer when I’m not on it because there’s no build up of that adhd mental exhaustion. If you get offered that eventually take it. But speed does the exact same job, it’s literally the same thing so if you know a whizz guy that’s the best thing. So says all the science
Before I goty meds I found cutting out sugar makes a HUGE difference. Smoke wise I like a 50/50 or sativa dominant. Stardawg and Blue Dream worked best for me but any lemon strain is ideal. Red seal hash is probably my biggest tip, it’s perfect for calm and focus in the day and is prettty cheap. Hashman did have some but he’s not showing up on LB for me for some reason so I can’t check for you sorry.
Ideally you need a higher CBD level in your smoke.
For sleep a heavy indica with a high thc content is the only option. I use northern lights to sleep but hard to get so I’m smoking Titanic hash atm from Green Avenger. Very strong and really settles my head at night. Great seller and great value. One of my favourites
Good luck mate, hope they get to you quick

Hiya mate ye I am
I recommend rso personally best thing I've found to help with concentration in small doses. I don't recommend the doctors amphetamine based meds personally but some people do find they help
Also when you get get your brain in gear for it exercise this was the first sign in me I was obsessed with with exercise way past the point of a normal kid 😆

Relevant to ADHD/Stims - can someone plz help clarify/confirm - moda is OK to buy and sell, right?
PS: someone mentioned the nootropic nopept… have you heard of/tried Phenylpricetam?

family members with adhd, theyve said denying medication is the best thing ive done.
adhd meds are not a fix and adhd is not a problem that even needs fixing.
try changing your structure to one that fits you (even if thats no structure) and try psychological tricks like body doubling which always helps me!
dont drug yourself into being okay, no drugs will EVER make you "Normal".
! Remember your body is a master chemist and it can and will make your adhd worse if you stay on meds!

! Remember your body is a master chemist and it can and will make your adhd worse if you stay on meds!

It’s no accident-that’s all I can add.
I wish you the best.
Don’t accept a crap life for 35 years.

Apparently, from a medical source, cannabis is no good for adhd. You need stimulating, I mean coffee not coke lol.

We disagree somewhat with this because we’ve found micro dosing with sativa dominant actually has profound benefits for adhd :)

coffee makes me so instantly tired it's crazy, I don't drink it any more but if I can't sleep a few shots of espresso knocks me right out lol
took me a few years to figure out the days I felt extra shit at work were the ones I drank coffee... I just assumed because everyone else pounds coffee to 'wake up' it'd help me be more alert, not the case it turns out!

I'm Audhd and officially unmedicated, gf is adhd and medicated but that has all been private cos of the waiting list. She finds it really helps her, and I've known others it has worked for but also there are lots who find it doesn't work so well for them.
I don't really have an awful lot of advice other than chase up the place that you're waiting for, and ask to be put on cancellations list or whatever it is called so they call you if someone cancels their appointment.

Don't sit on the NHS waiting list mate you'll never get there, google Right To Choose ADHD. For adult ADHD referrals you can get them to refer you private but u still don't have to pay, just skips the insane waiting times. I got diagnosed at 30 and medicated and it changed my life. I really thought I had chronic fatigue or some shit everything was such a struggle I couldn't do anything for more than an hour without feeling exhausted, would spend half the day at work staring at my monitor trying to find the motivation to do anything. I still struggle but it's like a veil is lifted feeling like "is this what it's like for everyone else?" It's not a miracle pill and it's not done much for my forgetfulness or distraction but it really helps so much. But I'm inattentive not hyperactive so might depend what your probs are.
any medicated biggas here how do you find edibles interacts w your meds? I feel like they don't hit as well if I've taken my meds but not taking my meds I'm a zombie and I hate it. But my weed tolerance goes up stupidly fast so idk if it's that rather than the meds... I can take 10mg after a break and get a whole body high and take 50mg 2 days later and get nothing lol. trying to work out what the best combo is here...

Before I was diagnosed and began medication I used to use modafinal. It wasn’t perfect but def helped. I’d use it when I really needed to get shit done.
I’m on elvanse with a dex top up. I’m still titrating. It’s a mixed bag if I’m honest. I’m female and where I am in my cycle impacts the effectiveness. I can lock into a task if I start it. Otherwise I just lock into on fucking about. My sleep is shit. I use weed for that and to try chill me enough that my brain lets me watch tv. I’ve found it to be a bit trial and error but when my meds work they’re good. When they don’t, it’s a shit show. Initially I could feel like kick in like a bump. But not now. I dunno if that fucks with your head and makes you think they’re not working.

overall same. have you looked at your Magnesium Levels? once I stopped taking the Magnesium supplement before going to bed, I slept much better.

I'm on the same as you, have to make sure I'm not playing a game or on Wikipedia when the dex kicks in or I'll spend the next 5 hours researching some absolutely inane bollocks
And if you have any doubt they're not working try spending the weekend without them, you fast realise when you're back to how you used to be lol. For me it's like the elvanse just keeps me at a steady baseline of normal that I don't really notice, the dex gives me a kick and I only take it if I need to get something done. I try to go without on the weekends to keep tolerance down but it's shit without it so I just accept those days I'm not getting anything done so coast with edibles to at least be chill-lazy not miserable-lazy

The ultimate review on little biggy
I believe the ultimate review you can receive on littlebiggy is one from someone who leaves a positive review but a 1/10 rating because they are so high they thought that was the part where you say how many days it took to arrive. been noticing a few like this recently 😂

I saw one recently where reviewer gave 10/10 and was so pleased with the cart they offered a handjob to the vendor, whilst adding that they weren't even gay.

marx said people controlling the system of workers inevitably exploit the situation.
what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system at 0 cost?

i think the other flaws of communism would eventually come to the fore anyway. Would be very interesting to see what A.I does with state capitalism however.

The original term ‘communism’ is surely people living together harmoniously in a commune? After all communes date back to the Stone Age where groups co existed.
It worked throughout history, invaders and tribal warfare repeatedly tried to derail what was an effective system of existence….

Marx & Engels write quite a fair bit about this "primitive" communism. Its part the Marxist/Communist argument against Capitalism.
Im sure we have all heard the phrase "oh but capitalism is human nature" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Capitalism has only existed 200 odd years for most of Human existence we have lived in more communistic communal ways.
when Darwin said survival of the fittest, this was not him saying the strongest wins, it is the species being able to adapt and the adaptive trait that shot Human kind straight to the top was cooperation not Capitalism.

surely there is no single element to human nature when it comes to economics. of course people share as well as trade, hoard and borrow to keep it all flowing.
capitalism and communism both arise naturally, it's not hard to see their equivalents among animal populations that fight over the same resources that they share in other circumstances.

more communistic communal ways 200 years ago - what do you mean because serfdom is what comes to mind.

I said capitalism has only 200 years not communes existed 200 years ago. But feudalism was still more communal than Capitalism. Peasants worked together on a plot of land that they paid for and were not dragged off to choking factories and confined to dense urban populations like the 1800s.
Before feudal rule however & things like the Enclosures in Europe, tribal community was the default for most human beings.
I recommend reading Marx and Engels early works or if you prefer a more modern take there are plenty of authors who have covered this section of history.

Why, when looking at historical context, would anybody ever come to the conclusion that communism is better than capitalism?
Does it come from a fundamental ignorance of a period when capitalism lifted more people out of extreme poverty than anything that came before or after it?
Give me an example whereby communism has managed to achieve even 1/100th of that and I'll show you somebody very gullible.

"what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system" - we have this part, try working for uber.
"at 0 cost" - this is the communism part. possible with open source ;)

think of what c - suite execs are paid and every one of them can be replaced by an a.i. with existing technology. lots of them are just figureheads already.

Until technology is liberated from the capitalist mode of production & the private patents that create AI, then no. A.i under a communist government or socialist state could be used for good and help toward automation. Look to china where sophisticated computing has been used in public spaces to better traffic flow, keep public transport running and deliver goods and services. But A.I alone wont create communism. For communism to be achieved Revolution must happen first and the dominant ruling classes replaced so the means of production for AI are utilised by workers and not elites.
Also nice to know LB has comrades ;) nothing to lose but our chains baby !

China was the first to weaponise AI with the social credit system they are/were introducing.
As an aside, China just like the USSR before it, remain the barrier against actual communisation. When state capitalism dies out as an valid idea and there's no more pretence of an alternative, libertarian communism will gain traction.

Just a reminder that the China "credit score" myth was a false story pushed by American war hawks and imperialists in the state department -

Nor have they weaponised it anymore than say Europe has when it comes to taking out a bank loan or buying property.

"From the early 2010s, some cities indeed started scoring pilots. However, these gradually became controversial – even in China. The city of Suining reportedly deducted points for government petitions and online comments, Suzhou planned penalties for reservation no-shows or cheating in online games, and Rongcheng for littering or jaywalking. Many of these pilots were later criticized by official media or failed to materialize. The most common critiques were that scores illegally restricted citizens’ legal rights or tracked behavior totally unrelated to the notion of “credit”. "

Going by the UK, if they've tried it, it means they're open to it. And again, vis a vis Europe is not the yard stick an actual revolutionary program would be using. Maoism in 2023 is mental (except about landlords).

Your own source sums it up pretty well -"The idea that China gives every citizen a “social credit score” continues to capture the horrified imagination of many. But it is more bogeyman than reality."

The point remains, one capitalist state may or may not be better than another. Neither have anything to do with communism.

I mean i think you're talking about tendency, when this particular post was talking AI.
I get your point you think Chinas capitalist.
I quite obviously disagree and so do most academics and Marxists at that.

It could.
Capital owners already exploit technology to reduce costs and lay off workers, ai is just another part of that.
AI and automation could be used to give people more time off, pay more for less work, improve work life balance etc, or it could be used in the way described above.
As with a lot of things, AI could be used to benefit people or it could be used to make billions of dollars, or anything in between.

Tissues received instead of product!!
Ordered from seller, and order was listed as ‘sent’. A couple of days later, the seller got in touch to ask for the address - it turns out that the order had not actually been dispatched, and the seller could no longer see the address details. I recontacted the seller when the item had not arrived two weeks later, and they said they were sorry, they had not yet sent it but were sending it now. The dispute window soon closed, but I trusted that they were in fact sending it and so did not raise a dispute in the remaining time. About a week later, a parcel arrived - but it contained nothing but some tissues!! Why would the seller spend postage to send me only tissues!!?? Have tried to contact seller, but they have stopped responding to my messages after simply saying that it is a strange situation…
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

You can request a late dispute by commenting on the vendor page I believe. Although I've never done this myself so I'm not sure how the process looks. Hopefully someone else on LB will pick up on this and explain it.

There used to be some way you can request a late dispute. Unsure if it is still the case. If so, there is probably a borg somebody can point you to.
Going forward stick to this rule:
Never, ever, ever allow a vendor to persuade you not to raise the dispute if you have not received the product for any reason. It makes the whole escrow thing pointless. You are paying for the escrow within the price of the product.
If it arrives, you can cancel the dispute with the click of a button.
