What is wrong with this CLEAR and how to 'fix' it for smoking.

What is wrong with this ICE and how to 'fix' it for smoking.

Hello to all you brilliant bastards! This is my first post, so be gentle.

I have searched far and wide a few times now, and frequently come across conflicting information, or what sounds like answers that someone may have heard and are repeating without actually knowing. I would like to ask a two part question in hopes that I get a response from one of the people I see around here who are clearly very knowledgeable.

First off, my preferred (and only, really) method of consumption is smoking via pookie.

Several times now I have acquired dope that is...well, just wrong. And in all of those instances, the symptoms are the same:
- Smoke tastes and smells fucking AWFUL. Like, so bad its a deal breaker.
- If there is residue in stem from a previous session with good stuff, the moment smoke forms from this bad shit all the frost in the stem disappears instantly, leaving only a few small drops of clear liquid here and there.
- It looks pretty damn legit. Im no expert, but Ive researched enough to feel comfortable that its not easily discernible from good stuff. I have gotten it in decent sized shards/rocks, small pieces and crushed.
- Not sure if this is consistent across each instance for me, but it seems to cause an almost instant headache when even just smelling the smoke.

I have gotten this from a different source each time (because fuck the last guy who handed me that trash, right?) and even in different cities, so it must be at least somewhat common. To my region of the US at the very least. I would imagine dope with these symptoms would be well studied by the ones who are knowledgeable enough on the chemistry and/or business to have an informed answer out there...I hope!

What is the reason for these specific symptoms?

And more importantly, what can be done to it to get it smoke-ready. Even if only marginally.
I know I cant tell science what to do, but if there exists a method that doesnt require a trip to the hardware store or a laboratory, I'd be most interested in that one. Half-assed results are better than this foul shit just sitting in a bag.
Oh yeah, Ive saved all the bags from these unfortunate purchases. I probably have something like a couple of grams in total. So you can imagine my enthusiasm for a solution.

I appreciate all advice and help offered on this, but I would like to ask that you mention if your information comes from hearsay, or if it is based on a working knowledge of chem/science/business/unicorn farts/etc.

Thanks for being such a great place to learn about the stuff no one is supposed to know.
xoxo

Additional properties shared by each of these bags:
- Crack back yields small dark specks around the bowl.
- When first melting the gear, smoke forms early. I blow this off as I normally would and await first crack back.
- Crack back is not as uniform as it should be, and is more of a yellow/brown. It doesnt look like its burnt but describing here it almost sounds that way. This is something else.

And it should be noted that my friend got some from me before I had tried it. They only snort rather than smoke like me. I asked them about all this and they said it no doubt has some gogo in there, but something was off about it. I havent asked for clarification on that statement yet.
