sparkling weed

LMFAO

some pot strains naturally sparkle, its not always, but a good way to kinda half guess the THC content. the more the sparkle the better the weed. sometimes.

NOW. This is just a rule of thumb, its not necessarily true in all situations, but i know white russians have a 19-21.5% THC content and they sparkle more than tinkerbell. but adding ground meth to a plant can also give it a sparkle.

be careful what you buy.
 
Also take into account that assholes who sell weed for profit will fuck with the product if they think its funny. I knew a douche who would grind up the flint from a lighter to make powder he would cover the weed with so it would spark cuz sum ppl thin sparkling weed means good shit. Needless to say I never bought from his stupid ass. In the south they call that "gunpowder" or fire chronic lol
 
heres an image of a naturally sparkle fresh plant

I heard of a case in Germany where a dealer loaded their bud with lead flakes to increase the weight of the sack. I wouldn't be surprised if it has been done by other people, who used other metals.
 
it's overfertalized bud the fertalizer is what mAkes it sparkle I had some and It tasted like shit and the high wasn't great it looked light dealt good bud lime green top quality but once I saw it sparkle I craked the stem and it was the greenish color like fertalizer
 
could be the pesticides, phosphate, and other ingrediants that was used to grow that plant.

For the past month or two this is all I've been getting in Manchester. It started off with the dial-a-dealers who don't have a clue where their shit comes from, so I stopped buying from them, but now my guy who gets it direct from the grower (have never had a shitty bag from him) is selling this shite.

I'm starting to gather a collection of this stuff now as it tastes so fucking awful I have to concentrate not to wretch when smoking it (though my gf says it tastes fine, so maybe a psychological thing on my part), but I am loathe to throw three bags of weed away as I'm not in the best financial situation. And, y'know... throwing weed away?!

So, my question and reason for digging up this old thread: Is the general consensus that this is caused by metals left over from the use of fertiliser? No one has mentioned what harm smoking this could cause? Please don't answer if you don't know for sure, because for all some of us know this shit could be fucking up our lungs big style and saying "It's probably just this or that, you'll be fine!" is not harm reduction!!

Cheers.

Edit: Here's what it looks like for those of you lucky enough to have not experienced it. Tell me that doesn't look seriously messed up!

Cook with those 3 bags instead. Make it into oil. Super easy, 40 min process. Only exception is if you think that there is sprayed fiberglass or mold of that sort on there. As I can't see the picture, and we don't do ID threads, there isn't much else I can tell you. If you hate the taste and have something psychological with it you could try masking it with other bud in a blunt wrap, or just cooking with it.

Sometimes drug deals go bad, I agree throwing away bud is a sin but I've had to do it because of mold more then once, on large large quantities.
 
Yeah I saw a youtube video on making oil, doesn't look difficult to be fair... guess it'd be better giving that a go than smoking christ knows what.

Would still like to know what sort of problems smoking this would cause (if it is indeed phosphorous or other metals) if anyone knows?

Click to expand...

Cancer, althought I'm not convinced it is an excess of P that's the cause.

This is a problem of hydroponically grown weed that has had excessive P added (particularly from PK 12/14 type products). Especially if it's not been flushed!

For this very reason, organic weed is generally superior to carelessly grown hydro weed. However hydro weed doesn't have to be particularly unhealthy if it's grown, flushed and cured with care. Dealers who are only interested in profit are probably the last person that would care about the health consequence of smoking weed like that, so growing your own really is quite attractive, especially outdoor, guerrilla grown weed that will literally give you pounds of weed for pennies potentially.

Although it has to be said there's not really an established link between even heavy cannabis use and lung cancer, you can reduce health risk factors by making sure you only smoke properly grown stock and ensure you only use a quality vaporizer instead, ideally, although this isn't essential if it's only an occasional thing IMO.

I experienced something similar in one of my early grows... I attributed it to excessive bloom ferts that weren't properly flushed out before harvest. This stuff wouldn't even burn when smoked in a joint...it would give off sparks like you described. nothing spectacular, but you would see one fly off when trying to get the joint lit.. this stuff absolutely had to be smoked in a pipe and it tasted funny..
 
Im on the bus to work and have little time. Ie. ... I didn't read all replies: This tends to occur when the weed hasn't been cured properly /is still a little wet. (stick in air tight container, opening daily about 5 mins at a time. If you can-do for 5 days. Or, a couple-test it... repeat.
 
Chew on a stem... i guarantee you it tastes very sour. i think it is some thing they spray it with to weigh it down. Also it sparkles when smoked so kids think that means its dank.
 
Well this stuff burns very easily. Nuggets stay lit for way longer than normal, and if you blow gently on it it burns like mad.
 
im pretty sure its potassium nitrate. someone never flushed properly or dosed heavily before harvest maybe? Same stuff is used to keep cigarettes alight thats why it burns down.
