It's pretty crazy if you think about it.

Sand was one they used... and salt water sprayed on, wax , ... people are wankers sometimes.
I once saw one guy covering a big pile of buds with after shave (he was a friend of someone I used to buy hash from) ... I politely asked what the fuck he was doing, and he said he was increasing the weight and smell... I told him he was a wrong un and he smiled and he went back to work.

Sadly, yes. This was a good 15 years ago, but honest truth. So glad I know how to grow.

I have found little black screwes in mexican brick, im also pretty sure they added black hair to buds before to increase weight.

been doing some more reading about it, found stuff warning about it all over europe, paris, vienna, berlin, even something about it showing up in ny

one of the things they mention is a foliar spray called brix

Fucking grit weed - dark days indeed and the main reason I took to growing my own.

I remember my mate who moved weight bringing in a sack of "white widow" import, gushing about the crystals on it. We ground some up and built a spliff and afterwards spent ages spinning the grinder on the table top - there were so many silica beads on the table it wouldn't stop rotating. Amazing, we thought, how much crystal is on this shit?!

It wasn't til a year or so down the line that the grit weed hit the news and we realised what we'd been smoking. Neither me nor the dealer pal were happy - he now had to try to get uncontaminated product which meant wet Viet weed and a hard sell to folk that liked the artificial good looks of grit.

Even now I still chew on a sugar leaf when I've bought a new bag just to make sure. I used to have a special grinder just for dealer bud that I could bin if I heard it scrape or it crunched on the bite. Luckily that one time was the only time I got the shit (there's something to be said for dealing with the Viets, they never sprayed around us, just sold the shit so wet it might as well still be in the pot 😂 )

Hope to fuck rumours it's back are just that, but at least we have the net and social media to spread the word to the innocent.

Ganja gu brah

I have a tale geordy land man turns up with jelly hash 4,000 a lump 10 in a bag 40 stashed this was 2009 . We all jumped 2 weeks later another man turns up with a truck load of weed , we jumped but as the people came we soon realized eveyone was sprayed up or greasy ash like wd40 . I heard they had tons stashed buried . This finished me and i have never dabbled again . Lost all profit . My theory is Albanian gangs working with the authoritys to flood Europe including uk . It must have fucked every one from the smoker to the ton buyers .

I heard about this a while back, I grow my own, no worries, seriously, dealers are getting very shady and my bags were getting smaller. I have been growing for four years, the seed companies have been straight up, except one and I do not know if I can say who it is.
