weed covered with crystals and tastes like sugar
 

i just bought some weed covered with white crystals but when you eat them it tastes sweet like sugar. what type of bud is this or is someone trying to scam people? how can i test it for sugar?

This is nothing special. It came first out in amsterdam and swapped over to severall countries. The weed gains a lot more weight because of the "sand/crystals" all over it. Its nearly impossible to get clean weed in Amsterdam/Germany at the moment. Even some dutch coffeeshops only got this stretched out weed.
Dont know the english word for it but the sand/crystals is called "Talkum". Its some sort of chemical and i wont smoke that shit.
Try to get some good hash and throw the weed in the trashcan.

nice recommendation. :) Better get some good pure weed, not in crystals.

You mean the trichomes that grow on and around the flowers? Thats natural. The more the better you might say. In fact, thats what hashish is made from.

If something else man-made, that sounds pretty ridiculous.

sounds like bubblegum,how does it smell?

wow, never heard of that. interesting.

what a stupid thing to say....

Jesus, it's weed not coke ... I doubt anybody is trying to 'add weight' to it with talcum powder.

hhhmmm mixed??

People have bumped up weed weight for years, used to be sold a bit wet, people started to complain, so then you'd lay potato peelings over the weed and the weed would soak up the starch, still be dry but more weight, so if people are sprinkling sugary crystals on it, I can understand that.

1 kilo of weed add 100 grams of powder, 10% more cash and if you didn't know better, you'd think quality weed cause of the crystals.

yup theres a load of this in england attm.

people bulking up the weight, tastes like shit and doesnt smoke right.

whoever said to get some decent hash - follow their advice :2 cents:

sometimes they'll spray it with 7up or something too

Just grow it so you know whats in it, same as vegetables.

what would be the best way to clean grit weed? i was thinking about dipping the bud into vodka then air drying it. any other solutions?

The crystals make your brain grow bigger. Don't you know that, fool?

the crystals are contaminated. :disgust

It is sugar, like many other people here are saying, they are bulking up the weight. Good weed has naturally occuring crystals, but it does not taste anything like sugar. Scammers throw sugar on there to add weight, hoping you won't notice. Burnt sugar tastes like absolute shit.

whats the best way to remove sugar from the bud?

Not sure it can be removed.

bubblebags and make hash with it.
or maybe if its dry sugar a hairdryer on low heat.

If its even sugar... woudnt be so sure bout that. Never heard of suger over in europe...

Sell it.

Ok guys this is nothing new in the UK we went through a really bad period a couple of months ago.
There was a lot of talk about what the fuck it was most people like u assumed it was either crystals (its not you should know crystals aren't that big !)or it was harmless sugar etc !
What it actually is or at least over here was a industrial spray used on road lines signs etc to make them more reflective !
I ll post a link to the mr nice website in a sec there's lots more there including microscopic evidence etc !
Hope this helps and if you get offered this crap just say no kids tell them to bring you the good shit worked here !

This thread is odd to say the least.....

Cyber Crystals, d'uh.

a buddy of mine just said there is weed going around with opium sprinkled on it.

First of all. dont eat your weed.

Why not...? Eating it is one of the best ways to get a buzz from it :2 cents:

Becareful of that shit some people got fucked up from the shit they added

If you don't know your drugs, or don't know someone who does. Don't fucking do drugs.

Don't buy dope from random assholes on the street. Find a legitimate dealer with your health & his long-term bank account in mind.

Get rid of any drug that seems shady. A couple hundred bucks is not worth a lung infection.

Sounds like mold? Did you have a wet growing season? I wouldn't smoke that.

i'll try a hairdryer on low heat. should i also dip it into water after then air dry it?

oh ohhhh
 

:warning talkum, sugar, sand.. all that isn't very healthy.. and a big rip off!
even if you vaporize your weed, it's not 'safe' i'd guess.

we've to legalize the shit to be save..!
or make a trip to NL and buy some weed in a pharmacy. costs some bucks more then in a headshop but's warranted that you get what you paid for.

I'm glad I live in BC... We have little crystals on our weed too but we like to call it "THC" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Umm in the High Times this month it mentioned dealers spraying tiny glass beads on weed to increase weight. really tiny and really harmful to smoke

Sound advice :thumbsup

For what most folks pay for a months worth of low quality weed they could set themselves up a neat little home growing rig with choice seeds and grow their own premium quality weed all year round.

get some haaaashhhh check out my little stash. :pimp

lol this thead is some of the most funny shit ive read in awhile

Sigh ... its been decades since I tasted hash.

We have the same problem here :(

this is the best idea so far ^

the weed has probably been saoked or sprayed with sugar water to bulk the weight. when the water dries off it leaves the sugar content behind thus adding a little more weight to your weed.

to test this remove some crystals and burn them on a piece of tinfoil if they bubble up brown in colour its sugar!
