So i got my bong out and had a bowl. Tasted horrible. So I phoned up my mate who was going to the same guy, and told him to spread the word. Now in our little community we have to lick our finger and touch the 'crystals' and rub it against our teeth and if there is a gritty sound then its that glass stuff. Why the hell?

The good news is that this 'dealer' had to give alot of money back, including mine.
But his number got deleted soon after .

This has to stop. What happened to the good old skunk?

Is there any other way to check for this than licking your fingers and sticking that glass in your mouth? Maybe some UV-flashlight, C.S.I. stylee perhaps?

Sad to hear this is common, never seen anything like this here in Sweden though..

Shit! So glad I ain't buying anymore!

God, greed is a terrible thing. Thanx for a perfect example! Actually now thatI think about it more, I wonder if it was some weird mix of greed/stupidity?

this is sooo horrible. I don't see how people are good with straight up injuring others just for a tiny bit of extra cash. This is on the same level to me as a meth dealer.........maybe worse. What ever happened to greedy fucks just being happy spraying sugarwater on the buds, at least all that happened then was ya overpaid, bud tasted shitty and ya learned who not to buy from. Now your in the hospital with permanent problems because some asshole decided he needed to make more money and fuck up others at the same time. I never thought i'd say something like this, but if i found where these asses were growing, id turn them into the cops in a hurry

I've not heard about this until this thread much less come across it but i'll keep my eye open from now on.

Truely shocking and completely pointless, I guess the only real reason to do this is, as mentioned above, to make the bud look good after its been skuffed of all its trichomes. As if adulterating most of the hash sold in the UK isn't enough, these bastards have turned to messing around with the weed.

I swear its already too hard to find a good source of bud and now there might be all manner of shit sprayed onto it. I'd like to think this is an issue with import bud but I've got a suspicion thats wishful thinking - domestic growing has really took off in the past 5-6 years and unfortunately that means theres likely a lot more dodgy people in the business. Eventually this will filter down to the media and there will be scare stories further pushing the chances of cannabis ever getting legalised down the shitter.


Makes me sick :/

Grass cut to crushed glass Mixed with microballs, potentially dangerous cannabis would circulate since the summer. By DAILY Arnaud AUBRON Release: Saturday September 23, 2006 - 06:00 After the hasch with waxing or the tire, cut grass. Even cutting. The rumour has circulated for this summer: dealers would sell mixed cannabis with glass crushed to increase the weight by them (and thus the price) but also to give him a more resinous aspect (the THC, the active substance, concentrate in the resin of the flowers). Seized of the business by an association which also alerted the press, the interdepartmental Mission of fight against drugs and drug-addiction (Mildt) is not able to confirm but carries out analyses. It however admitted Thursday that at least a case of grass cut to the microballs of glass ("not likely to involve serious medical effects in the short run") was declared by the police force of Lille in July, as well as a case of cannabis cut with sand. "Toxic". "the rumour, part of Nantes, quickly invaded Brittany, ensure Arnaud Débouté, president of Circ (Collective of cannabic information and research, principal association antiprohibitionnist). "Our investigation detected not only crushed glass, but also of fibre or microballs of glass or of sand. These products can be stuck to grass with lacquer, extremely toxic." According to Circ, several people would have been hospitalized in Nantes and Rennes. What contradicts the hospitals concerned. Remain that the accounts on this "brilliant" grass, "which cracks under the tooth" and is "odourless" recut themselves in the northern half of France, but also in the Netherlands, in Belgium and Switzerland. "the glass fibre is too fine to be perceived with the touch. But under a strong light, the grass scintillates in a not very natural way ", entrusts Christelle, 28 years, Lorraine, contacted on the Web, which says to have put two days to recover from an attack of asthma caused by the consumption of this grass. "I started by feeling large cramps with the belly, brings back this other Net surfer, Alsatian. Then the pains did nothing but increase, followed by vomiting. To the urgencies, the doctor explained me that a piece of glass could have left in my lung, then after coagulation, of the lung in the blood system, then would have blocked me the kidney." In the Eighties, businesses of cocaine cut to crushed glass were frequently reported. One of the advanced assumptions in this case would be that Dutch wholesalers would recover the resin present on the flowers of cannabis in order to make a hasch very good _ quality sails about it in the Netherlands _ then would stick glass or sand on remaining grass to resell it. "Filter acetate". Circ advises with the amateurs to take their precautions: "This grass irritates the fingers, cracks under the tooth and was reconnait under the magnifying glass. If the consumer has a doubt, it is recommended to him not to buy, obviously, and in contrary case to put at its joint or its pipe a filter acetate, purchasable in the tobacconists." And to conclude: "If the cannabis were legalized and the co-operatives of authorized productions with nonlucrative goal, we would not have business with this type of new mixtures."

Too bad the people that do this are some bad mofo's that generally put a piece in your mouth before you even reached their neck. Most of the time it's not small-time growers who do these things to their weed in the attic, but large organised criminal gangs that don't mind making someone 'disappear' if he knows too much. Not the people you'd want to mess with fom my point of view.

Fortunately the local authorities still mainly focus on bringing down small growers, pretending they are a hazard to society, leaving the true criminals undisturbed... What a brave police force we have here in Holland, marvellous.
