The Not So Sticky of the Icky: "Fake" Weed??

So about a month ago i went to see my guy. I've been buying exclusively from him for...8 years maybe, i'd consider him to be one of my top 5 best friends. I read to his kid, we drive to the casino together and crush the poker tables (wut! *ahem*) , talk about life and shoot the shit even when i'm not trying to cop a bag.

The reason i'm bothering to give background and post this is because if this is because i trust this kid implicitly and i know that he wouldn't do anything to intentionally fuck me. Which means the guy above him or the guy above the that guy is doing something to intentionally fuck people, on a scale of maybe 100+ Lbs. at a time which makes me think that i can't be the only person that's experienced this. If i'd bought from an acquaintance or a random dude i'd just chalk it up to some shithead is really burning people like this?...whatever.

So anyway:

About a month ago i picked up a half for my boy and me and a quarter of different stuff for my neighbor. The quarter was legit, the half was not. I wish i had a pic but i smoked all of it anyway, and it's pretty easy to describe so here goes:

The nugs were nice and light green with a few orange hairs on the inside once you broke the nug out, typical solid BC buds. The smell was on point, i mean, it IS pot for sure. I think the first 3-4x we smoked we were half cocked already anyway and riding around at 2am contemplating how else to damage our livers and lungs so we really didn't notice that we weren't getting that blazed.

A week or two goes by and we notice that every time we smoke we're coughing balls, i mean...fucking coughing like we were trying to smoke bleach or something. Dry ass headache inducing, throat shredding coughs. And not just here and there - EVERY time, EVERY hit, joint, blunt, or bowl, coughing our tits off.

Well, we're retarded so we continued to burn through the bag and once it was maybe 3/4 gone i say to my buddy "this shit even getting you high? i feel like i'm almost high, get a headache for 20 minutes, then i never get lifted" and at that point we have like a Eureka! moment where he's all "yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhh what the fuck is with that....we're not getting like HIGH high, that's for sure...and i'm fucking killing myself in the process"

So now we bust out the bag and start scrutinizing the nugs like...this IS pot, what the fuck is up, how is it possible that we're not getting high? When we really inspect these fuckers (the way maybe you'd inspect a hooker's vag for signs of syphillis or something before diving in) THERE ARE NO CRYSTALS. That's right, NO trichomes. At all. And no hairs sticking out of the outside of the nugs.

We were at a festival when we came to this conclusion so we were like "well, fuckit, let's just shotgun bowls until we actually get high" 3 bowlpacks later i feel like i need a throat-e-otomy and am not high at all. 2-3 hits will usually give me at least a little head change.

It's THC free Marijuana as far as i can tell.

My 2 theories are:

1. It's an 'honest' albeit dumbass mistake and someone had a crop that they tried to dry out too fast via microwave/conventional/easy bake fucking oven.

2. Someone put crazy pounds of herb in a tumbler and rolled them shits until they had like a pound of kief. Basically enabling them to sell the same herb twice.

I want to believe #1 is the case but i'm strongly leaning toward #2 since i don't think there's a high chance of some n00b's first crop entering a supply chain like this.

So has anyone else had this kind of experience? What can you tell me?
 
I am pretty some idiot tried to dry it out in the microwave or something. Even if you heavly filter the keif out of nugs you'll still get pretty high of of it unless the weed in ground to a fine powder.

Just because someone is an experienced grower doesn't mean they can't mess up.

Your guy maybe could have dropped one sack in the toilet by accident, tried to dry it out real fast in a microwave.

Maybe your guy ran into some financial trouble and thought "hey, we're close, maybe I can get off with it a time or two and chalk it up to someone else."

There's really no way anyone can tell you for sure, though.

But to answer your question, a buddy of mine bought an ounce of some stuff that never got him high. Last I saw it, we were dumping it out the window on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

whyyy???? you could have at least tried to make a little bit of oil outta it,

Neither of us knew anything about oil, and we didn't know what else to do with it.

Besides, the guy he bought it from said for us to just dump it, he'd give him some real stuff half price.
 
Yeah that's true that experienced people can still fuck up, oh well at least I know what to look out for now and I can lean on my connec for a discount/free sack.
 
You in oz? I've recently had some bunk, bleach tasting weed.
Wasn't bright green though, was brown, and almost 'floury' the amount of kief (or w/e) was on that shit.

I bought a half of this stuff, it chopped up great, tasted like bleach and did nothing.
IME this shit comes from the cure (or lack thereof).
 

OP, this is basically drug ID, we don't do it in CD, even if you type up your theories with 3 paragraphs of almost irrelevant info to go with it.

Since you finally got a response that wasn't ~"yep" or ~"probably X" (as nobody can answer your question), i'll see if anyone can help this guy out.


Both of you... Ever try... uh... asking for your cash back? Or calling your dealer/grower/guy/girl/whoever out? It just sounds like you both got burned, which happens.
 
Im going to post about an experience that sounds similar to yours.. this happened in my senior year of high school sometime in the late 1980s.. anyway, a friend of mine set me up to pick up a quarter pound of weed from a friend of his. so the guy meets up with us, and i get it and its all buds.. at this time in my life i was only used to commercial grade weed and thats what it looked a lot like except that it was fresh and green. so i grabbed the dope and headed home...

then i proceeded so smoke some, and hook others up with it. but after smoking it and others smoking it, we came to the conclusion that it was THC free weed. it literally did not get you high no matter how much you smoked. and it looked really good, like real wood. all buds like i said..

that was the first and last time i ever saw anything weird like that, but hearing your story reminded me of this time...

-jas
 
Yeah i set an appt. to go talk to my guy about it today, i can't be the only one with this gripe. Hoping to get at least an eighth of THC laden pot out of the deal. You think you've seen everything and then...fake pot. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition i guess =D
 
^ There are actualy types of legal hearbs made to look exactly like weed except with none of the effects.
 
I've seen it myself. Had a friend with a pound that was half fake and half beast.

He got it real cheap but should of returned it. It was a long going argument and I don't think he believed me even after I showed him the ad in High Times.

It sounds like these guys got those legal buds you speak of.
