Found this in my teen’s room, along with some green stuff that looks like weed. Just trying to figure out what the black substance might be. Any help appreciated.

The pictures are pretty bad btw. Especially the black stuff is a blurry mess. Does it have a smell?
I found this on a rehab website:
"Black tar heroin is easy to identify as its appearance is the same as the black tar used for roofing. It also has a very similar consistency to black tar and will smell of vinegar."
I might be wrong, its impossible to tell but just in case I'm not, there ya go.

I second someguyontheinternet, while there's no way to be sure just from a picture, that does look like weed, and I'd therefore think the tarry stuff would be weed resin, scraped from a pipe. Does it have a robust, burnt smell, almost like too rich coffee?

Not being smart, I don't know what kind of dialogue or relationship you have with your kid, I'm assuming there's a reason you were searching their room, but have you asked them?

Totally (likely to be) resin.

Nip tha black substance accusations in the bud, don't think your kids a junkie!
Have you ever smoked yourself?

Well it should be relatively easy to disprove which would relax the situation. Just because there is some weed next to it doesn't mean the black stuff has to be resin as well.
 
Looks like hash.
More weird Ash, without description from the OP,
pic s are worthless. Probably even with.

What looks like Weed doesn t mean it is.
Lots of plants produce Weed like Bud s,
look in your governmental parks.
Neighbour gardens you pass.

And its one of the rules no online roulette,
by guessing substances. Ask your kid.
Well that is what i would, with the little insight.
Can t base your situation and your kid s on pics.

Just have a talk, seems most obvious.
 
Looks like either really shitty made butane hash or resin maybe. Looks more like resin to me though. I dont miss having to smoke that shit
 
The two do seem to have facial feature s and seem to be communicating. :oops:

And if anyone thinks that black thing looks like a drug especially Hash.
Might be because its still illegal in Nl. so no idea what they have in the US.
But to me it looks like something that could come from a ass.

That's the best thing. Of course that means the OP will have to own up to searching their kid's room. And that kid will be pissed. But in the long run, it's better for everyone. Perhaps an open dialogue will keep the rug rat from going on to harder stuff.

(When I was in middle school/high school I had a lock on my bedroom door. My parents were pretty lenient, but I still didn't want them snooping around while I was out lol)

While we can't identify substances based on an image alone, that does look like a cannabis flower to the right so my suspicion is that the black goop is resin scraped out of a cannabis pipe. Saving and smoking resin is a common way that people save money when using cannabis
I'm about as certain as one can be from a single picture that this is the case. It looks exactly like the nasty resin that I've seen come out of my weed pipes during cleaning. The shade is right, the texture seems to be right - though the image is blurry so I cannot say for sure.

For OP -
Whatever it is, and whatever you do, please give yourself time to process it and deal with it calmly before you ask your kid about it. You can easily push your kid away from you, teaching them to be more secretive and distant, which will probably have the opposite effect to you want. Even if you do not want drugs in your home, which is a perfectly reasonable request, an angry fight is not the way to communicate that. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Your kid is gonna be pissed that you searched his room, but don't let that provoke you into overreacting. Get it tested if you want, or just ask about it.

If you don't mind me asking, was this in the same container as the weed? If so that might lend credence to my suspicion of it being resin from a pipe, but I'm autistic about keeping my drugs separate and maybe not everybody is like that. I would be paranoid keeping something like black tar heroin in the same bag or container as weed, even though I cannot imagine confusing them.

Openness within my family to me was always important, toward my Mom and Granny mostly.
Without a clue of the OP s family relation. I btw have a daughter but never saw her during that period.
Only at the start when she came every other weekend. And noticed privacy became of importance.

Like it happened in a day. But missed that, but if i make a deal not t go in their room s.
i d keep t that promise. But then again i am open enough my kid s no me.
Did have to gain that trust, as indeed one flaw or accidental mistake will not be forgot.

My Mom said never use Heroine, she forgot to mention Alcohol. But in perspective.
That s not so unusual, The risk your kid gets involved in the Heroin scene att was small.
But that is so geographical, and go 5 years back and the ris was certainly there.

One good friend my age, did end like his father, fell in the trap. Heroine.

But no substance guessing s the rule, moral support COOL.

that is probably resin scraped from a marijuana pipe like everyone is saying...

it's what a pot user user, kids that don't have a lot of experience, that doesn't have a good supply of weed smokes when they run out. it's just like left over burnt weed residue that gets stuck to a pipe.... if your kid doesn't have a pipe, they could be uneducated about drugs and someone could've sold them a ball of resin that they scraped out of their weed pipe.... resin will barely have any THC in it. not very potent compared to what that other piece of weed they have will do... most adults give up on smoking resin. it's gross tasting and if you really notice the drug, it really doesn't get a person high the same.

i know you aren't supposed to identify stuff on this forum for legal reasons, but that's where this thread is going...

i wouldn't worry that it's more than weed, but i guess you should just get it tested cause it could be whatever else... 99% or more would guess that it's pipe resin though.
 
personally if your kid is almost 18, i might turn a blind eye to them smoking weed if they are responsible and getting their stuff done, but honestly, if they are smoking resin, i might talk to them cause they are probably uneducated about drugs, and who knows if they are going to take something stupid... smoking resin isn't really something an educated user would do imo.
