[QUOTE=Lolerskins;17809275]But then again, it could be that only that dealer sells the cocaine-covered weed. When the buyer realises that he doesn't get 'that same feeling' from any dealer but that one, he gets all of the buisness.[/QUOTE] But the dealer would have to sell at a higher price to begin with, or else he would make a big loss from the start. And if he did have a higher price, nobody would bother trying it in the first place. But I think pre-made snowcone weed would be awesome to buy.
at least I'm certain I get quality stuff. Coffeeshops, ftw.
coffee shops sell bad weed too dont they?
[QUOTE=Poo Monst3r;17838554]coffee shops sell bad weed too dont they?[/QUOTE] Yes! One Coffeeshop in my town sells 'Thai' which is a decent strain when grown properly but when I returned home with the bag it was mexischwagcrap with fucking [b]SEEDS[/b] in them. Never bought from that shop again and not planning to. Shows once again why we need to legalize drugs real fast.
Fantastic thread my good man. However, I recently picked up a gram from the pot man and he kept apologizing and said it was china. I smoked it, and despite coming down heavy from it, it was smooth and gave me a great body high and some slight visual effects. P.S. Kyle's new bong is so good.

He told me it wasn't horrible china, it was pretty crystally, but it definitely doesn't feel the same as a real decent strain like Juicy Fruit. The burnout on china is usually pretty hard. And yeah it's one of the most solid bongs I've hit.
Depends on the coffee shop. You have to look up reviews before buying shit.
Needs bumping
This thread is the best thing since sliced bread!
I have often wondered what the best thing was before sliced bread.

[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;17804854]There's been cases where tiny glass beads have been found on cannabis to make it look more potent. People who have smoked it have been hospitalized.[/QUOTE] Damn, you'd think in a country where it was legal people wouldn't need to do that sort of thing. But IMO, if anyone is worried about glass shards/beads in their bud, use a bong.
It's because thugs run the cannabis market mostly in my country.

Quality post thanks.
Coffeeshops are allowed to sell cannabis, but where does he get his stuff from? Thugs grow it because there's a high demand. Pretty much the same situation as in every other country, only your dealer works inside a shop behind a counter.
Just picked up the smallest 50 bag I've ever seen. Only reason i didn't get pissed at the guy is because he always shouts me free cones if i see him out clubbing.

I'm bumping this shit because DD needs it.
wuddup October 11.
can you change the part about purple weed being godly, while most of the time it's chronic, you can be growing mids and a cold spell or phosphate depletion could make them turn purple. Dealers play off the publics stupidity by taking mids and putting them by air conditioners, then they sell it as purple *random shit* and make profit.
I had some brick mids that had alot of dark purple in them, they were pretty damn good mids too.
[QUOTE=jonashappy;18690993]I had some brick mids that had alot of dark purple in them, they were pretty damn good mids too.[/QUOTE] Like I said, any weed can turn purple, it's almost like weed alchemy because if you have purple shit no matter what you can tell someone it's good because of all the hype and make them pay 20/25$ a gram.

[QUOTE=MetalToast;18705982]green grapes aren't real?[/QUOTE] no they're real. it's basically green that was forced to turn purple.
bump. Awesome thread bro, didn't know this shit.
[QUOTE=Poo Monst3r;17768886]There have been a lot of threads discussing or regarding marijuana pick-ups. Everyone wants to know if they've been ripped off, if their weed is decent, or if they're in possession of the bomb kush. I created this thread to help all of you determine if the quad in that ziplock baggy is good weed, if it's worth what you paid, and if it is, in fact, a 1/4 ounce of that wonderful, magical, green mary jane. Why should you listen to me? I'm the best friend of one of the biggest dealers in my city, with direct ties to one of the biggest dealers in the province, who actually hangs out with THE biggest dealers in the country (The Hell's Angels). I've had weed explained to me for years by my best friend and I think I'm about ready to teach the rest of you what I've come to learn. [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/2na2mwp.jpg[/IMG] Unless you have a friend that is growing his own shit, or you know someone that is growing weed and selling it, then your chron is probably being passed down through many, many hands. There are large grow-ops all across the country. Each grow-ops grows several different strands of marijuana and at the start of the budding season (budding season is essentially the Fall), all the way through to the end, these grow-ops pick, trim, and package their weed to be sold to the regional dealers. The regional dealers are basically dealers that sell to different dealers in several cities. The city dealers then deal to even smaller, city-regional dealers, who then sell to you. Often times, city-regional dealers will set up deals with even smaller wanna-be dealers to sell their product so that more chron can be sold faster. To sum it all up: [IMG]http://i34.tinypic.com/3133xmv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/2dbv4sx.jpg[/IMG] Now that you know where your weed comes from, you probably want to know how to get your hands on it. Well, despite what you were taught at public school, all the stoners in the world are not secluded, alone, friendless, at-home losers. In fact, you probably saw hundreds of them last time you stepped outside. Marijuana smokers are [u]everywhere[/u]. If you want to buy the ganja you have to ask people that smoke it. Of course, not everyone will be 100% willing to get weed for you. I, personally, hate grabbing weed for people who can't find it themselves. More often then not, if you tell the person you'll blaze them, or toss them a 5, it will motivate them to grab you some weed. Basically: [highlight]WRONG![/highlight] [IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/2cpc9ox.jpg[/IMG] [highlight]RIGHT![/highlight] [IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/28i2glf.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2zqasgk.jpg[/IMG] One of the most practiced practices among dealers is ripping off the little guy. It doesn't matter if you're just buying a gram, or if you're picking up a full oz, if your dealer knows you don't have a scale to check to see if you got ripped, they will most likely give you less than you paid for. If you're buying, let's say, a gram, many dealers will give out what I only know as 'p-8 beans', or 0.8 grams in a dime-bag. 0.2g may not seem like a lot, but if this dealer sells just 5 grams, they just earned themselves a full gram. The world of dealing is a complicated, risky, dirty business but for now all that needs to be said is that dealers are always looking for that extra cash. Some dealers sell quarter-pounds per week and only make at the most $200 from it, so when they have the chance to get some extra money, they take it. There are several ways typed of bud you will encounter: (The following pictures were taken from Google - I do not have every type of weed at my disposal) [b]The Leafy Weed[/b] [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2wrg0ev.jpg[/IMG] Leafy weed has a lot of leaves. When the bud is picked from the marijuana plant, all the excess leaves are trimmed, leaving a beautiful bud. Sometimes a few buds are left untrimmed, or are lazily trimmed so that the bud looks much, much bigger than it actually is. Often time dealers will pack a dime bag full of leafy weed so that you'll think it's a gram without question, when really this bud could weigh .7, or even less. [b]The Dense Weed[/b] Sorry, I couldn't find a picture of some dense weed on Google, but you should know it when you see it. Dense weed, in terms of seeing if you've been ripped off, is weed that has been sat on, squished together, and pushed in so tight that it's extremely hard to rip it apart. The buds on dense weed are very, very small but can weigh up to surprising amounts. [b]China Bud[/b] [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/juc0gx.jpg[/IMG] China bud is gross, falling apart, small-budded weed which weighs up to how it looks, but is just not very good quality. If your dealer is giving you china bud, you should ask if they have any other strands, because smoking this shit just doesn't feel the same as smoking some decent weed. China bud also tends to have fat stems, which can weigh down the weed a small amount (0.1g - 0.2g). The ONLY definite way to determine if you've been ripped off or not is to scale up the weed yourself. If you're buying a small amount, you can reveal the true amount of weed you've bought by grinding/chopping it up fully, then try to eye it out yourself. A pile of a gram of chopped weed should be just a bit bigger than this (this weed has been torn apart by hand): [IMG]http://i36.tinypic.com/nb3ocw.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/az78k3.jpg[/IMG] There tons and tons of different kinds of marijuana. All marijuana plants have the potential to be good, it's all in how the plant is taken care of that determines the quality of the marijuana. [IMG]http://i34.tinypic.com/r29lys.jpg[/IMG] [b]Brown Hairs[/b] - Contrary to popular belief, brown hairs mean very little in terms of bud potency. If your bud has a lot of brown hairs, it just means that that strain of marijuana happens to grow a lot of brown hairs. Hairs can also appear in a more orange-ish color, a more gold-ish color, a more red-ish color, or a purple color. [b]Crystal Build-Up[/b] - The little crystals you see on your bud are actually THC crystals. If your bud is covered in them then it is probably amazing weed. Usually, if you break open your bud and look close to the stem, there is a high build-up there. If your weed has very little crystals then it is shitty. And that's that. [b]Greeness[/b] - If your bud looks off-colored (a weird green, or more brown than green), then it isn't quality weed. Good marijuana will be very green and very beautiful. Of course an exception to this is colored strains of marijuana such as purple haze. In this case you probably shouldn't even be reading this section because I can tell you right now that you have godly ganja. [b]Smell[/b] - Marijuana should smell like marijuana. That distinct, skunkish, greenish, herbal scent that we all (hopefully) know so well. Sometimes your weed might smell like barnyard, or a petting zoo, this is because it was probably grown on a barn yard where it tends to smell like that. Other times your weed might smell just straight fucked, this is probably because the scent has been dulled by products used on the bud to weight it down. If at all possible ask your dealer to see the weed you are buying. Do the following while it is in your possession: - Smell it - Check for crystal build-up - Take note of the color of the bud - Feel it Don't be fooled by wet weed! Sometimes it looks and feels a lot nicer than it is, but wet weed is hard to smoke, hard to roll, and almost impossible to grind or chop! Feel the weed to make sure it's not too wet or sticky, or too dry and falling apart. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hopefully you've gained at least a small bit of knowledge from this huge thread.
